Konfused

Wrapping up this year with a myriad of questions. I remember the previous new year, all the commitments that I vowed to keep, the resolutions that I swore to fulfill and yeah, this weight loss program that I have been planning to join, since I don't know when.

I flip my 2015 diary chuckling to myself. I would not call it ignorance or laziness, but will describe it as a way that we humans try to accept our shortcomings. Day in day out, we get out of our homes, with set goals and iron-determination to achieve something by the end of that day. Half way through, our strength wanes, then flickers again after lunch break. With dropping mouths, heavy-laden bowels and sleep-deprived eyes, we try to pick up pace. Only to veer off to Facebook, Instagram to double-tap, maybe. From time to time peering at that huge clock on the wall, waiting for the clock to strike five. Home and away, we jostle on the streets, heads ringing having barely completed half of what we'd set for the day.

I have walked this road, too many a time and would wish to do a trade in for the better.
I am counting down my resolutions this instant, to see that which I have completed not, and hopefully scrap it off my list, for good!

And now to the festivities. Woe unto to the trees that'll be chopped down and goats that'll be felled.

Happy Merry festivities y'all and success in your New new year resolutions! :)

Gerry.

The Psychology Of Color.

I came across this collection of colors and its psychological meaning and found great references that I can relate with.  " Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways. - Oscar Wilde .

If we wake up.

If today, that little veil covering the small steps of our lives is lifted, will we have enough of face to show the scars of time or stand tall and proudly display the plaques of amazing feats that we've achieved? Will we be able with unwavering demeanor, show the world the number of skeletons in our closets and those silent achievements earned over time? Or will we cower in abject shame as all is laid bare for everyone to see? Today, under the fluorescent dimness of the yellow reading lamp, he slights his palates with the sweetness of condiments sourced from random walks around malls, albeit the cold; a mix of frozen vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry sweetens this 1 am circus. The halls are silent, except for some occasional slow and sometimes fast patter of a random night owl, going for a tinkle.  The new year is a bit laggy, maybe because of a long-awaited break from the normal constantness of haunting lecture halls, and the dreary atmosphere surrounding midterms. It's a re

The prime of life ;Grasp it.

By
I created this "concept" video three years ago, the words are not my own, credit goes to the pearly and lustrous voice, of a great mentor, and a motivator, Mr. Johnson Mwakazi. I hadn't sat to really take in the words; today I did. Well, that was quite a befitting piece, for the times. Of course, motivation is not permanent. But then, neither is bathing; but it is something you should do on a regular basis. We look up to our mentors for various reasons, one being to always strive to achieve like they have. To the words, “The prime of life may be great, there is up and there is also down, one may reach the summit, but where else can one move on, except for descending again.” 01:12 Listen on. Gerry
