I have youtube keeping me company, hence the title of my post, the Olmeca Tequila ad just came up Anyone watched the olympics? Me being the sports fan watched a couple of games then i 2 weeks ago i got tied into the illustrations i have been working on and life happened too I love you Brasil regardless of bad press and other nonsense but somehow I kept going back to Beijing...this time it is for real, I promise myself to be in Japan come 2020 I will be team Naruto there too Here's to tonight's rain..., this morning's rain, my laptop battery at 5%, the cool ting that is Wacom and a great week ahead... smooches

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...

once upon a time but not so long ago, I learnt about Man's inhumanity to Man. sadly though I only learnt about it, it hasn't stopped happening. Why are they so selfish? I ask, wonder... Because of money? Money that won't follow them to the grave. Why are they so wicked? Because of power? Power crumbles and strength fades Why are they so callous? Because of fame? Fame only gets as far as the world wants it to get It is really sad... about it, i am really sad... in other unrelated stuff, i am glad about this day. I learnt some more and added to existing plans About Rio, have you heard about Casa Brazil ? No? Yes? ok nothing to tick here, so  just click it....... sojourn to Rio :)

a little of anything

pfffft! people and saying crap out loud. once again I say "Thank you Gary B" I do get teary eyed and proud of my friends :) kindly have a look - Miss T Err waitrose! please do something about the queues. If you've got nine till machines and only two people working the tills and no self service machines there will be long queues -_- So on to this Brazil thing, I signed up online to learn Portuguese. first step to heading to Rio, I have to at least get a bit of the language. 30minutes a day practice hopefully..... I saw this BMW today with Brazil Time and the Olympic circles on it and I was like Kerching! a sign :)) Drawing is like getting high on your supply, nothing beats it yet.....ok may be playing the guitar

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...
