july 4th musings

The sweet/irritating sensation of an itchy eye coupled with irregular sleeping patterns and ‘Ininghe’ has been ma time machine for quite some while now; waking me up in the wee hours at every stroke.
There are like a thousand things to be done of a sudden, the quest for knowledge is really having a toll on me! Does anyone know have a clue on how captivating, frustrating and time-consuming this feat might be? Especially when yu think yu’ve got it all under control.

Mr. Rubix suddenly decided to join forces in tormenting me and my intellect is being taken on a wild goose chase. I am almost conducting a research on all the possible ways of fixing this ‘damned’ cube and will make so much noise on completion…..believe it or not! Many bitches and high, have all concentrated loads of internet pages to offer ultimate guided solutions to unraveling the mystery of the Rubix cube but, I am either quite distanced from this pool of wits or this solutions are not intoto. The frustrations involved in fixing this ‘shithead’ cube clearly explains why the lowly art/design dude, Mr. Rubix back in the days was shot in fame and impeccable wealth with his invent – the Rubix cube. Lord! This shit made him the richest chap in communist Hungary back in the days…tsk tsk tsk.

With the advent of the worldwideweb, information becomes very readily available, talk about ‘google!’ itz like literally having ‘em do all he complex thinking now and having ‘good-‘ol’ brain take a sabbatical! Perfectly defining a summer holiday. I kindda underestimated the efficacy of the www, limited it to searching for ‘desserts’ until I found a whole collection of ‘main-course recipe’ in its pages.

Now, I ‘google’ for literally everything – random names, old college mates, countries, images - dont get that twisted…., world news, weirdos, revolution of Nigerian politics and democracy, akwa ibom news/development, shitz n’ stuffz, itchy eyes….name it. Yeah, recently, I ran google on 26th July! Can yu dig that! Yeah, itz ma birthday and I am so obsessed with it. It was a Monday…precisely at dawn, as a cute/healthy 3 pound baby was given the first breath of his own, the Rolling Stones were celebrating this birth in the Wembley Stadium in their first ever performance there, I recall my mama tell me this some years ago.
Been searching offline for people and events that occurred on this date to connect with little success. The book I am currently reading, ‘The state of Africa by Martin Meredith, happens to be enlightening me of the many many interesting events that happened in Africa in July, 1982 to be precise…how obsessive!
This search nonetheless gave me very lovely buddies, I mean I was an instant buddy of anything July! If it came close to the 26 the better!

I could babble about this for ages but yeah, the first thing that struck me on the google pages was the subtle fact that July 26 also happens to be the independence day of Maldives and Liberia...how cool! It also happens to be a date in the Cuban and Indian history. It struck me however, that when I looked up answer.com for events on July 26, 1982 to be exact, it was ‘conveniently’ missing…there was always a skip between 1981 and 1983….and that tells me that ma name waits to be engraved in the annals of time, the question is, one what avenue?......hmmm…time will tell!

July 26, 1982 is not a very auspicious date but the salient events occurred that will shake the nations captivates me….call that obsession, narcissism or whatever, I am one of those ‘shakers! Oh shit! Today is July 4th and, owing to my current location, I happen to live and see the Independence Day of the most powerful nation on earth before folks over there does! They wont be seeing the strike of this 'sweet blessed' day in anything less than 5-6 hours later.

I will have to research more on this subject - July. It is quite much written already, I thot I could post about my itchy eyes but don’t wanna post such long boring details all at a go. I’l have to do this again soon…..shalom!
