just checking



hi,
just checking to see if my membership hasnt been suspended (just kidding). really! its been ages since i posted anything. Would have liked to but nothing exciting is happening in my life at the moment.



how is everyone? i miss Katea (hope i spelt her name correctly) she used to respond so nicely to my posts. Katea thanks for all those thoughtful replies (hope you get to read this)



i was in Ghana getting closer to my dream (or so i thought) but im back home in Nigeria. have a new job. For the first time in my life i have a 9-5 job. i am at a desk all day. im thankful alright but i feel like i am hibernating. waiting for the next exciting stage of my life. Maybe i wont have any more excitements. Maybe that period of adventure will eventually be a distant memory, a tale for my grandkids.



i should feel excited that i am working in the capital city and that i get to meet the politicians (they are the most popular group in my country) . i even get to meet people that are close to the president but i don't feel anything. instead of trying to find a way of getting a juicy contract and bidding a final farewell to poverty, i am counting the days to... i dont know but i need to live again. i need to tell stories, i need to mentor youngsters but i am not doing any of that.



to all my comrades in the WORLD PULSE that have been doing so, icommend you for not temporarily giving up like i have.
