Playing in the big league

L.A.Z.Y!! That's my excuse for taking so long to write anything for the past 2 months.I have had so much to say but so little motivation to just put it out there.I have had so many "i don't feel like it" moments when i just don't feel like writing anything.But the lazy spell was finally broken a few days ago when i heard a really old song (it's not that old ,like 16years ago ).

I honestly got goosebumps listening to it... a rap song with classical music in it!I don't know if am the only person who experiences this, but i can always trace the timeline of my life according to songs that i used to hear at a that particular point in my life.Just give me a song and the events of my life will easily come flashing through my mind .These songs are like a time-machine for me, always taking me back to everything and anything that's considered a memory.
Enough about my special time-travelling skills,let me talk about what this song did to me! I was hooked on just 4 simple lines of this song,

"life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big heart
some of us gotta run a little faster cause we gotta later start
but I'd be a fool to surrender

when I know I can be a contender"

Coolio:"C u when i get there"

The song is like a collection of stories told through a rap and the classical piece in it just "kills" me with the violins!!!Even though am not doing a review about the song i would give it a 9 out of 10(justsaying).
I kept thinking about these words until i wrote this down:

Life is like playing in the big leagues.

The expecatations,
hopes,dreams,goals,
disappointments,sacrifice, the succeses and failures are all part of the game.
The rules are simple;keep living and you will be halfway to winning the game.
Everyone plays a different postion in the team,
everyone has their own unique values to add to the world.
And in every game there will always be an opposing team, and therefore with life it's inevitable to face all sorts of setbacks and opposition.All it takes to finally win the game is to keep playing,don't just play the game, play it with heart!It's a big league, so play it with a big heart.

Boxed in...

" Thinking out of the box, thinking like there's no box "..who cares????? example of wise words that I have ignored a thousand times simply because they are money-making ideas for inspirational gurus fixed on creating bestselling mantras.They give you that "i-can-do-anything" willpower which slowly fades into a "maybe-i-can't-do-that" motto. I am not writing this down to discredit these wise adages or worse still, to count the number of times i have ignored these words .But am writing this because i had the most unusual wake-up call,from one of these bestselling jingles "Think outside the box" Let's hit rewind and go back to a few weeks ago...it was back to class and that feeling of "am-not-ready-for-school" was nagging at me.3 months of internship,and a week to rest( which was recuperation period from tonsils), and now back to school with a project proposal due in a week.Complaining is so easy when you have the ...

19 years later..

The past three weeks of my life have been a dream come true...not because i have stumbled into a load of cash or become a celebrity overnight. I have done nothing that seems out of the ordinary, but this event has and will forever change my life.I have no idea how to put it all in writing cause sometimes it still feels unreal. That dream came when i arrived in the land of a thousand hills,my home country Rwanda! I packed my bags so fast(still in shock).I got on a bus(still in shock)n i saw my home country..still in shock!! It happened so fast and time has gone so fast..after 19 years of being away from a country i can hardly call home,i finally got to see where i was from,its like knowing a part of yourself that you didn't get a chance to live out. I won't deny that i missed home,sometimes it felt( and still does) like i was a foreigner in my own home,everyone speaks the same language that am able to speak but when i try to speak,it sounds so foreign!I...

Totally offside!

It's that time of the world, when the only thing i get about football is the theme song.Frankly speaking, if there were no "waka waka" and "ole ola" i would flush this FIFA business out of my head.I have lived through 6 World Cups, and what do i have to show for my enthusiasm about football? Nothing! Football has never been my cup of tea, and there was a time growing up i remember hating all that hullabaloo that comes with it.You would assume that living with 3 brothers would make me have a soft spot for the game, but it didn't. It made me more indifferent .Thinking of all the cartoon shows i missed all because of a sports update that had to be watched ( probably the best days of my childhood). Despite, my clueless nature about football, i've come a long way with the game..proof of which is my mysterious knowledge of footballers' names even though i don't know how their faces look like! The soccer terminologies,well, it's enough to know...
