Life, The Universe, And Everything In Between

Based on a screen shot. Or maybe it's just a whim on the anniversary of the birthday I have.  I won't allow the obvious potty humour. We deserve better. As a cohesive society. It's a remembrance of blogging days today, when attention spans exceeded tweets. Still, it's a sign of the times that we are 'developing' 'ahead'. No matter what happens, deep breaths (sighs) and patience will aid the time interval left to the ultimate end. Peace. #6hourism  

1. Begun in the 7th century, this wonder is more than 4,000 miles long (1 mile = 1.6 km) 2. Which wonder is named "city in the clouds "? 3. A height of 125 feet makes this wonder an achievement of humanity. Hint: who stands so tall? 4. The only thing left of this 9 BCE wonder are the carvings in the pink stone it is made of, what was the city? 5. This wonder is still considered the role model for sports stadia around the world.  6. One continent has 3 out of the 7 modern wonders of the world. Which one? 7. The Mayan calendar had ended in 2012, but what structure has remained to become a wonder of the world? 8. The city of Rio de Janeiro is home to which imposing figure of the religious world? 9. Even though it is ancient, which wonder was discovered only in 1911 after a long search? 10. The Mongols found it hard to continue their attacks against this feat of engineering. Where did this happen?  11. There is a pyramid near the centre of the ruins of this wonder, which was prob...

(From Up From Slavery: an autobiography) Scene 1  Characters: BTW + Olivia Davidson  (Setting: office in school; od has just joined the school as a teacher) Btw (b): I hope you are not too tired from the journey, ma'am? Od (o): Not at all! I'm used to travel; before coming here to Tuskegee, I spent quite some time around the South of our country! B. I'm honoured by your decision to join our small institution. O. Not at all! The privilege is mine, Mr Washington. If we can teach our fellow men and women to utilise our new-found freedom, it would mean the world to our future generations! B. We are on the same page, Ms Davidson. O. Shall we have a look at the school, then?  B. Why, certainly! Allow me to show you the way. (Outside the school) B. This is it, I'm afraid. This little old shanty and that abandoned church are the only roofed buildings the townspeople have generously lent to us to hold classes.  O. Well, we must put them to good use! B. I agree. The coloured y...

The vision presenter's voice rang sweet and clear. His intonation hit the perfect chords, just as every detail of his unblemished facade was crystal clear. It was as it should be, since I had set the controls for - no, not the heart of the sun, yet I wished I could - maximum clarity. I wanted to see the show, and more so because the show was about me. 

What a nice place to find myself in; routinised and comfortable. The Maggi controversy puts me in a vindictive position; I have long preferred as close to "organic " food as possible. Now I'll throw out the instant soups and that leftover noodle cake (how I slurped and gobbled it when a child; now, however naive I may be in some respects, i avoid instant and junk food altogether as much as I can - how times change!). 😇

Tech Timing Waiting playing watching  spawning duelling slashing Buffering the net into my palm as we speak Which way to go where is the next peak Levelling up upgrading  Points sitting there for the taking  Ensure you don't get beat down by the crowd  Check msgs and back - oh wait - there's a laugh out loud From the a to the w to the s to the d Slashing burning shooting claiming XP Getting ready for the next battle  Smashing spinning with the Move as a paddle  To be continued... S C 6/7 Finalè perhaps  Don't you even think of ever cutting me down  My thoughts go in helixes I'll turn your mind upside down  When you're done unjumbling the web that I weave  The show is over you may just as well leave  Lay The Line verse 2 Maybe eminem and raftaar are feeling like rap gods In my mind it's the one for whatsoever my head nods  Generally it's my way To live life Slow climb To the top of the world  And I look down  And I lay...

Plans Fall Apart I dream I am armed Anagrams play with my thoughts Words are formed  Letters fall into their slots The speed of my sound  Emanates from deep underground The place where I found That thoughts of death abound Rejecting negatives Setting objectives  Moving to consolidate  A bright and shiny fate Finalé To clear my mind, I take a walk Grit my teeth hard, to myself I talk Figure out new ways to beat this clock All-clean lyrics are a bit of a block Wanna get my point through  Without resorting to  Violent or cuss words  Just maybe one or two Talk of luck and fate just sets me off What do stars have to do with cold and cough? I make my life my way, I take off No wonder people think I'm just too soft But I got a fire burning deep within Not one of us has been living without sin Balrogs can't hold a torch to me Death is the only way to be free Till the day that I'm on my funeral pyre This world is gonna feel my full-fledged ire Surprise, surpris...
