Murphy’s Laws
If anything can go wrong, it will
If anything can’t go wrong, it still will.
Nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
Everything takes longer than you expect.
Whatever you set out to, something else must be done first.
You can’t do just one thing—there are always consequences.
If everything seems to be going on will, you have obviously overlooked something.
Nature a always sides with the hidden flaw.
Mother Nature is a bitch.
It’s impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious.
Always lie low -- you can’t fall off the floor.
Never lose heart -- they might want to cut it out.
You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, and that my friend is sufficient.

The Tempest
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air;
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve;
And like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
--- William Shakespeare

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then....I contradict myself;
I am large....I contain multitudes.
----Walt Whitman

In the midst of winter, I found there was within me an invincible summer.—Albert Camus

....in the small matter trust the mind, in the large ones, the heart.... – Sigmund Freud

Things never were “the way they used to be”.
Things never will be “the way it’s going to be someday”.
Things are always just the way they are for the time being.
And the time being is always in motion,
---Alexander Evangeli Xenopouloudakis

Yanni, Dom and B.K

Its sunday morning and I am carrying out a ritual I usually did with my friend Dominic (Arnold Echekwube). Listening to Yanni.
I like Yanni, there is something about his music that is deep, soothing and reflective.
Nightingale, Tribute, Renegade, Dance with a Stranger, November Sky, A Night to remember, Playing by Heart, Sand Dance etc. I really like this guy's music.
Dom was my friend. he was my bossom friend. we built all our dreams, hopes, castles and aspirations together. I lived with him and he lived with me. I loved this guy.
He introduced me to Yanni, Enya, John Tesh and he made me love tracy chapman.
We climed the hill together for a gruelling 8 hours, we made travel plans together.
He made application development real and tangible to me, then he made it look like childs play.
He consulted me on almost any and everything and took my advice and opinion seriously.
If there ever was a true genius, he was one. was intuitive about everything.
I can't bring myself to delete his messages from my phone or his contact details.
I still have his mails in my box.

Now it's B.K. (Bukky Nee Kolade)
That was our code name for her.
Nice, gentle, caring. Actually pleasant is the most apt word for her.
I went to her room scores of times, spent long nights and hours talking to her.
We enjoyed each others company.
Struck me most times like as angel.
Never dated her for some reason, I don't know my self.
Last time I spoke with her was december 2006. I guess she was just about to get married around then. Sounded very much as pleasant as ever.
Wished her well, wished her very well.
Heard she passed away. As she tried to give birth to her baby.
I neither can imagine nor would like to know the pain of her husband and family.
I couldn't believe it. Still can't.
Definitely gone too soon.

Did I say it's sunday and I am listening to Yanni and thinking of the "Gone".
