and Rio 2016 isn't in the near future anymore

I am so excited, yes you know how i went on about being in Brazil this season... well i am so far from Brazil as I type. To be honest being a Nigerian in Lagos at this moment and these olympic tales have been *sigh* chaos, being a Brazilian in Brazil now sounds like even more chaos. I say this as the honorary brazilian i like to think i am :) tales of strandedness and the lack of proper planning, tales of teargas and demonstrations *sigh* again zapping all that olympics happiness i tell you... I am still excited... glad for the 'dream time' - landed, played and succeeded... opening ceremony in a few... I still think Beijing's was a thrill, loved London 2012, and honestly twas a good time to be in London lemme go back to London 2012, cancelled trains, alternative bus routes, construction woes... and then the olympics and then after the olympics and things just went by O Brasilia, please make this work, obrigado! here's to an amazing games season, to joys...

hurts and hearts

you know this, i am sad 'bout Oscar Justice must prevail... i wish i could turn back the hands of time... listening to Pass you by - Black Magic ft OritseFemi no one deserves that their destiny is cut short, I pray that i grow each day, learning to appreciate life and other people just because I am different don't mean i am better than you... i pray i never take my skills and talents for granted - People watch and learn from you daily... You watch and learn from others too i pray i grow in my understanding of Grace and i pray for you too i pray for those who lost loved ones in #9Eleven, may they be comforted, may their hearts be filled with Peace Time doesn't heal, imo, we just learn to adjust with each new day Ps: God Bless you

london 2012 the end really?

"the Spirit of what we have begun will inspire a generation" - Sebastian Coe LOCOG. Sir, they have, they will I did feel sad when the last flame went out on the cauldron 'it is over, really' but it was lovely, inspiring and superb I probably don't have the right words. The volunteers were ever brilliant, the athletes were oh so lovely ...Few false starts, more injuries, flowing tears and we learnt the MOBOT too Blake's beast moves...he'll be a good actor too and then the Mayor danced, shows he's had a good time Spice Girls' "come together" was my high light of the evening though then Fat Boy Slim Thank you Gary B, and take that too My Games' highlight was men and women's javelin and basket ball women's football was way way better than men's (in my opinion) sailing too, they got good weather and winds most times (like the weather cooperates when it feels like) the women's marathon day had some showers a...

olympics fever

It was British, and this time it was nice Well done Danny lad, a good job you've done *said with Master Yoda's voice* The Era when tv was introduced into London The time of the War and thereafter The marches, the revolutions, the stands The industrial generations, the work houses, the grits The music, the storybooks, the lights The fiction, the fact, the humor There were no fires being swallowed or hot coals being trampled on James Bond  and the Queen jumped Mr Bean played in an Orchestra and that Chariots of Fire clip. Mary Poppins and Emeli Sande... ok the NHS, Great Ormond st. Hospital staff and children The 60s,the 70s, ancient and modern even Macca.... Sports........ teams........countries.........islands  Let the games begin ps:Oh even the press had no negative words to utter -_-
