Mr. Rubix

Waking up everything is more a routine now, at times wondering how to make the day worthwhile occupies ma thots the whole and I end up doing just that, ‘figuring out’. I keep telling maself to get ma lazy butt up and doing and yet, ma body says, don’t yu need a break? I tend to agree to disagree. Life had been a drag for the past couple of months…itz been pure-rough-thug-hussler living. Hope has been word for some ‘bout now.
I quest of in-toto body work aka self improvement has caged me like a wild animal. For once, I am learning things that would actually be useful in living life in today’s world. Business language, Business creation, Opportunities, ‘Ininghe’s’ Language, the guitar, the keyboard, the Rubix cube, African History, body sculpt, Emotional Intelligence, and other miscellaneous shitz n’ stuff.
Itz been a journey, one of self discovery and appreciation to ascertain how ready I am to formally join the corporate world formally.
I might be what folks used to term as ‘Jack of all trades’, the cliché is that I am actually in the process of mastering some!
I went to a friend’s sometime fix last week and immediately I stepped in, I set ma eyes on a Rubix cube, something I always wanted to explore after watching Will Smith fix the Rubix Cube puzzle in a scene in the film “ The Pursuit of Happyness’. How ironic! I am also in same chase. That influence and the challenge from my man ‘Ek’ that I would never solve the cube in two weeks got ma adrenaline pumping and nothing was gonna stop me from doing this ‘colored’ cube, not even time! Itz kindda hilarious because even when I started trying to fix it, I had no idea what the ‘cube’ thing was called, some dude had to help me out with the name to commence the research.

Today, the 6th Day of July, 2007, I, Ub Matthews fixed the Rubix Cube, now, howz that for a record! Hahahahahha. It took me exactly one week and approximately more than 72 hours amidst other activities to put this ‘CUBE’ together. Itz been research, itz been permutations, logic, frustrations, but all that don’t weigh to the joy that permeated ma world when I turned the last level of the cubies and they just fell into place! I was ecstatic, and slowly let out some screams and squeaks. If yu would ask me, I would say that I am HAPPY!..I looked forward in ma vain life to this day…hmmm. all thanks to http://www.chessandpoker.com/rubiks-cube-solution.html, i found incredible aid from this site.

I’ve have this picture in ma mind for so long to start and complete a project for once that determination gave me needed edge. Been cursing and stuff each time I neared victory and blew it, all that was for the mastering, I might just embark on that sometime.

The Rubix is a rotateable cube that has nine (9) colored squares that make up each side of the cube (cubies). It was invented in 1974 by Erno Rubix who became the richest dude in Hungary, his country at that time; I hear the dude is still alive and kicking up weirder games. The objective is to rotate the cube until same color of square appears respectively on the six different sides of the cube. There are so many ways of solving it and that makes it kindda frustrating to fix, any wrong rotation, twists your ‘gray matter’ only just further, one should expect cursing slipping out if yu are as meticulous as moi is.
