KIA SOUL

I’m in love with the KIA SOUL

The edginess

The unpredictability

The almost rugged sexiness of it!

Love it!

Colony names

My partenal grandparents were called;
William Percival Brown-Orleans & Berthod Eliza Jones! Yikes.
Hahaha. I just can't stop laughing and I don't know why.
It must be NYA's 'Silly Tuesday!'

My friends have interesting thoughts about marriage!

* Chris says Mendelsohn’s Wedding March is every girl’s ‘victory song’.

* Ellis says marriage is like law school, everyone who gets in complains that it’s hard. Yet every year hundreds of people struggle to gain admission.

* Ekua says marriage should be a contract renewable every 7 years.

* Nii wonders how two people who once loved each other could write such spiteful things in divorce petitions.

* Amma says (talking of marriage) the grass is not greener on the other side, so stick on this/your side and water it till its green too.

* All these comments were made in different scenarios, at different times and mostly unprovoked! J With whom do you agree?

Pet Cemeteries in Accra

My puppy died last night

It happened as soon as I got home

I wasn’t particularly sad

I did not cry

(BTW, I bawled when my dog of 10 yrs died in 2000)

I wasn’t really attached to it

So I proceeded to dig a hole

To bury his tiny lifeless body

In the backyard

My mum said to me, “We do not bury pets at home!”

Whoa? Superstition? Tradition?

I don’t know.

So I buried him on some vacant land

I wasn’t in the mood to argue

But I wanted to prove a point

So I asked her, “Where are the pet cemeteries in Accra?”

She couldn’t tell me.

Do you know? Have you heard of this “superstition” before?

Marathon

I want to try the Accra International Marathon this year.

The full run is about 25km

Maybe I could the half marathon

Don’t know if I should use it to raise money for some cause.

Or just run for fun

But I would certainly love for my friends to come and cheer me on.

Multitasking

My boss and I were in a little debate about who can multitask better. Of course, I went for the woman, he went for the man and proceeded to say, the pinnacle of multitasking is when a man is able to:

&     1. Drive

&     2. Carry on a conversation with the wife

&     3. Check out the hot girl on the street

&     4. Not get caught (by the wife)

&     5. Not crash the car

Needless to say, he beat me hands down.

Blogging Discipline

I have no reason for not blogging for so long

I have had no exams in recent past

I’m no longer studying (well at least not in school)

I still have a million and one blogging topics that used to make my readers smile

I was just not blogging

Then toward the end of last year, my very good friend told me I have no “blogging discipline”

I think he's right (though I did not readily admit it)

So I’m gonna try

Happy New Year!
