2008: its not too late

it always seems like there isn't enough time to do anything. if there's time, some thing else falls short. like when the mind's willing but the flesh isn't. no, there's no sexual allusions in the previous statement. its been more than a year since i last wrote. which is a little sad considering that writing has always been my refuge and my joy. every time i open my blog pages i tell myself, today you will write. turns out my brain is just a little more powerful than my spirit! the response always ends up being "nah! leave it for the morrow" sad! thats said, here's my first post since fuck knows when!

2008 promises to be special. i can feel it. we brought in the new year the same way we always do. drunk, stoned and happy as fuck. but through blurry haze of intoxication one thought remained lucid. 2008 was going to define our lives. to quote nelson mandela out of context - "Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom."

that time is upon us. the days of idle chatter and inconsistent ideology are over. its time that we reached deep into our selves to find the people we are. i grew up dreaming that i would be somebody. i knew i'd be different, i knew i'd make a difference. we've all had those dreams. to be greater than we'd dare to imagine. but dream we did, and i say it's time to realise this dream.

there's a time to let go, to cut losses and fly free. and there are times when u have to stand firm in the face of mounting adversity and face your fears. sometimes thats all it takes. so do we stand or cut loose, do we fight or break away and run. who do we want to be today?
