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.

A million tears in a thousand hills

It's hard to forget something that turns your life upside down ,it's harder still not to wonder how life would have been like growing up in the land of a thousand hills..Sometimes am grateful that i was too young to know the evil that was happening during the Rwandan Genocide..then at other times i keep picturing the lives torn apart and destroyed by the wave of tribal hate. Its during such times that i realize that the impact of such an atrocity is far greater than remembering every single act committed. My memories for the 1994 Rwandan Genocide are like a blank page slowly being filled by the stories am told..endless accounts of nights of terror and days of struggle.Some lived to tell their stories while others had nothing but a corpse to re-tell their 100 days of horror.The one thing that has always disturbed my conscious was the question why?Why shed the blood?Why let innocent lives get tortured ?Why kill another just like you? It's like a story of t...

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...

In another life...

"I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us" If these words were sang as a sort of world anthem,then i think the world would be a much better place in some ways.I heard the song over the weekend and just one listen to it was enough to get my mind buzzing and for some time now i had never really found a song to say just what i felt until i heard B.O.B on the radio rapping it out for the whole world to hear. So this morning,thanks to google i just found out that there are close to 7 billion people in the world...and am one of them!!So why in the world would such a song be of any help to me when am faced with this huge number of strangers i call my fellow human beings??How is it possible that in my own little ,maybe even meaningless capacity, i could help so many( 7 billion!!!!)???....but when i heard the chorus to this song "I wish I was strong enough to lift not one bu...
