STARS

Last night as i was chilling on my veranda with glass of juice and "making clouds", I looked up into the sky and marvelled at how beautiful it was with the many brightly shinning stars. At that moment one thing crossed my mind; those were our dearly departed friends and family looking down on us. I named a couple of them and broke into a smile. I was in safe custody.

The count was as follows;

1. Dearest MOM.
2. My 3 grand parents
3. Auntie Penina.
4. Auntie Mable
5. Tendo Philip(Pip)
6. Timothy Agaba
7. Kagoda Jesse
8. Brenda Nsangi
9. Mugabe Kaijuka (Gabs)
10.Lydia Nassali and her baby.
11. Jean Muwanga
12. Little Keira Nagimesi
13. Michael Birungi
14. Wilbrod Oketcho(OX)
15. Sebulime (Santos)
16. Dedan Kiruri
17. Uncle Tom
18. Bukenya Bryan
19. Kennedy Wanguria
20. My cousin Joyce, Roscoe, etc.

3/4s of these were only in their mid 20s.

You could add onto this list. We love yu all.

Confessions

From spending after work evenings as family, on to frequent text messages, then phone calls which graduated into very long phone calls. Of late it's pick ups for lunch. Am very scared of where this is headed.

Why now and not five years back? What's really changed that am now being viewed in a different context and not a big-brother? Not going to loose it this time round.

What explanation shall i give to mamma and all her siblings who are more than brothers and sisters to me. This is not allowed. This is supposed to be family.

Call me a coward but am off into hiding. New phone number, email address and i guess change of house.

Girls girls girls girls.

Dreams

Do dreams really come true?
Last night i had this one dream that i pray shouldn't come to pass as i have witnessed it before.

some years back, like all young foolish campus boys, i had somethng going with 2 lovely ladies at the same time. I lost the games and to make up for their earlier fights and verbal exchanges they became very tight friends and i their sole enemy.
Three years down the road and and i hook up with one of them. We are now good friends. We regulary meet for a drink, lunch, she introduced me to some really tastey steak and we always talk about anything and everything including her husband and 6 month old son. Even reminds me of those times when my game was really weak; like never ever allowing her access to my phone, having phone conversations whereby my responses where entirely "yes" and "no" plus "hhmm". All this we simply laugh about and let go.

However, last night came the dream. The other chic appeared in my dream. She was so nice and good to me. She then picked my phone, called her friend and the fights started again.

Do you think this dream may come to pass? Should i let these 2 be and enjoy their friendship?

Baby sitting. A time well spent.

My godson Smith shakespeare II is fast coming of age. Dude is counting four months at the moment and moving on fast. This saturday we had the chance to spend some real quality time together.
My godsister had a function to attend and couldn't take with her her little bundle of joy. The only safe custody was his dad and godfather. Fast track to 12pm and the little man is delivered along with 2 big bags of baby accessories. A few minutes of orientation from mom and she is off leaving us to our first task of babysitting. Before the mom left, she had to first to do a thorough check to establish that there was no liquor in the house. Ofcourse we didnt let her do this as we confessed being in possession of some. That way she didn't discovered in what quantities but made us promise not to over do it and also not to get tempted into introducing the little one to "the drink" at such a tender age.
On the whole it was a weekend well spent. Such a challenge if i may say and kudos to all parents out there. Parenting is surely a full time job.

The full story in pix below.


Introducing Smith Shakespeare II





Shrek wannabe.





Last moments with the mummy.





He just couldn't wait to be with the boys.







Father to Son moment. My boy Shakespeare Snr.






Drooling. The frequency at which he drools i concluded it's one of his fav pass times.






Learning the basics like how to carry a four month old.






Time to feed.





And then came the big moment; CHANGING DIAPERS.





Daddy cool.



Chilling.





Loungers.






And finally to catch some sleep.




And as the saying goes, work without play........ we needed our drinks to keep going.
Not alot baby gal, just a little bit.






DISCLAIMER;

I DIDN'T TEACH HIM THIS.
Too much TV i guess.



His mom finally showed up at midnight but i must say we didn't miss her and neither did the little one.

All in all, it was such a good time.
And my boy's first lesson from his god dad is that crying is for sissys. All the time he tried to cry i'd remind him and that way he cried less.
Nice godfather so far, amn't I?

Don't think anyone had a better time than i did.
Blessed new week to you all.

Presenting Miss Eve.

Just to show yu the lovely painting i received from miss Eizzy and to also officially let yu know am her self appointed marketing manager. Anyone out there that would like a piece done for them let me know and a deal shall be cut out.
Believe me this young lady possesses some very lovely artistic skills.

Presenting miss Eve as she chills peacefully in my lounge area.




Why Eve? That is what her creator decided to call her and i thought it wouldn't be nice to change. Eve is a cool name as well; aint it?





And then Carsozy fooling with my Eve. From the kick he received, he couldn't step out this weekend.





Normzo, Carsozy, Santosh , Rhino, Sleek, a version highlighting the posterior can be done for yu.

Nev; how about ordering for one of Abba's only son.

Silverbow, Antipop, Heaven, Lulu, Ug Girl, i know what piesces shall put smiles on yo faces every time yu walk into yo houses. so get in touch.

Disclaimer;
By the way, am only doing this for fun. Miss Eizzy didnt ask me to do marketing for her but i only think she's gat some talent and should do some more peices especially for her blogger friends who appreciate nice art.



And this is how her creator describes miss Eve.

"A beautiful woman"...Nudity because its raw beauty, floral like finish and fruity colours to link it with nature, which is true beauty, i also kept the outline unfinished and let it merge with the back ground and only defined the main curves in order to only capture the essence of femininity but not confine it to a single particular body shape, frizzy green afro to keep it afro centric, lol, plus it just looked cool! yeah?

AM SO SPECIAL

27years old today. Wow!!! Am ageing.
And what better way to spend yo birthday eve than with a group of cool guys like the Ugandan bloggers. Party all the way into the wee hours of the night.

How about sharing a birthday with 3 very pretty ladies and my friend's little baby gal(making one year today).

Oh did i mention the very lovely painting i received from a beautiful young blogger miss eizzy.k

Party rolls on all through the weekend. Anyone wanna join me?

Blessed day to all yu my dear friends.

....................

It's just July but i officially write this year off. I dont think there is any good coming out of this year.
Am now counting more than 8 friends gone down. Could i be next?

So unbelieveable. Dude was taking his morning jog so he could better his health and thus have more years on earth but God had other plans. He simply collapsed and passed on.

Rest in Peace Timothy Agaba.
