mango juice

you know, that expression that God loves me, i do not feel it more than i am feeling it today. i am writing this post from my laptop. i would have done it from my new htc hermes, but it feels more exiting to use laptop. And now in retrospect, I can even laugh at what happened this morning.

I woke up really hungry, I mean 7 hours without food, i am a growing boy and i need my carbohydrates. So there was me ,in this homely picture of me looking over at sanjosegigs.com very exited at this site that is going to be the window to my next job, two slices of wheat bread(no margarine) on one hand, a glass of mango juice on the other, and with the other 4 fingers i was pushing buttons on the keyboard, peering at the screen.

Then it happened. There was this line from the printer that had kept on interrupting my keyboard movement from the hand with the mango juice, damn that juice was sweet… Then in a very bad dream like fashion, you know the kind where it is very dark and cloudy, with lightning flashing in the grey background, music playing from an organ, the printers USB line tripped my hand movement and in fuzzy vision I remember seeing half my glass empty the yellow liquid on my laptops keyboard.

I sat there for two minutes. For those two minutes I just looked. No thought whatsoever went through my mind, I think I was waiting to hit the floor, like I normally do when I have a bad dream and fall out of bed. Well, I never woke up.. When my brain finally kicked in and realized that there was no hard floor to rescue me, I did what one engineer had once told me. He had told me that if I was to ever get water on an electronic device, I as to completely turn it off and remove it from power and remove the battery if it had one. I was then to let it dry completely, even if it meant not using it for a couple of days, after the dry treatment the said device was to function just fine. He gave me this advice after I had called him about our TV. My mum had spilt water through the cooling vents during world cup season. As wise as she is she had then proceeded to turn on the Tv to see whether it worked... she told us only smoke came out, the TV did not even come on. That weekend she was not the most popular person with us. The advice from the engineer came a little bit late for our TV but I remembered and used it quite a number of times... and in all those times up to the second last one where my phone dropped into a pitcher full of water, non of them worked. I remember my K750 screen going white and I lost half of my contacts.

Back to today. After the realization that this was the real thing and seeing that i was not dreaming in any way, my brain kicked into high gear. the two cell phones that i had been unable to save had given me enough practice to know what to do . Immediately reached for the power button. Once off I went and grabbed a few paper towels, two trips back to the paper towel roll in the kitchen, I realized that i probably needed the whole roll. in the end i just tilted the computer on its side and then just let the yellow juice pour onto the table... #i shudder just to think of it#

long story, but eventually I but had to leave the house to go to work. I left the computer in front of a HVC(high velocity fan) eight hours later and i am typing my blog from its keyboard.. I guess Compaq's are really built to last. There is still little stickiness when I type from the sugar but other than that and the comp smelling like sweet mango, there is nothing wrong with it...

Empting your glass of juice on a one year old comp, that is has been supped up with just about everything is not one of the brightest things to do..... again i say GOD LOVES ME!!!!!! lemme leave now and so that i can go play with my new htc hermes.

note to self: when you are working on the laptop do not have any food or drinks around

some of the perks of working as a security guard, my new site is really cool. i am getting to see how the rich live and how they spend their money. something i am learning, most of all they are human and most of them have a very highly developed interpersonal skills. i have not yet seen any faces i recognize but expect to see a couple of familiar faces this weekend.

i had no idea that this place existed till the office called and told me about this gig that where i could earn myself some good money. Today I told the other guys in the van (quite a comfortable one if i should add, baby's mama is going to get one of this) as we were driving back that not too far in the future i am going to drive myself those curvy roads in one of this to the gate and show them my membership card..

tomorrow no work, there is this little test i have to sit for.. i will take English 1B for spring sem. all the other courses will remain the same.. i still don't have a place to say. i called Nate today and she sent me a few links from craigslist. one place i had we had already seen with my mum last week. the other place i will check out after i am done with the test.. my mum is not around this weekend so i will be doing this alone.

eager as i was to get home today, the phone has not yet gotten here. 2 day mail is 2 day mail, fedex promised!!! I failed to print the online receipt so i am not sure how i am going to get my rebate. i talked to Phil today morning so i am hoping he signed for it. i will check on him in the morning.. scratch that, evening. i will be leaving this place at 7am and i don't want any distractions. it is a good thing i did not get the phone tonight or it will be like that time i got the k750.. so tomorrow night, i cant hardly wait, but tonight i will go through the WST and make sure that I set to pass……

me

Five minutes

that's all that available

turn on the iron

press the shoe

Me has very far to go

Ti’s time to do it all over again

Me has burst forth never to go back again

Two days before know

Anxiety flowed

during training

the impression did not stamp

But yesterday a new leaf,

Like the one that fell when that plane was boarded

A leaf green with life

Contoured with valleys of optism….

The bird robin chirped it references.

but the truth is, one day before know

It felt like a mould had been dropped on

Crushing and shaping

Bursting from the seams; me came forth

that is what everybody sees when they take time to listen

I saw it once on paper

Newness reveals one true self

If that is gospel then the label is character

First time there was on this stage, a mirror stood before

The theater was located in South C

Bursting forth he came

And turned on Technicolor in the other them-s

That hang around to see what me would do.

So me is back

a smile face forms;

when in feel heart pushing him thro the veins,

throbing with dexterity

I can see him every time I get to peer

at any event that is not like the one last week

at them-s faces

I will make him stay

He will stay…….

I like the way

When them-s look and the see

And yell at him ‘see ya tommorow’ when me leaves

They cannot tell who it is

What me is just about to do

What me is going to do

Because me is going to do it

like no other them has ever done it

me’s five minutes are up

time to turn on the iron

ORGANIZED THOUGHT ..

Yesterday was forth of July, in my neighborhood it was a big deal. Three day ago while at work I met this African American who was from LA, he described my county as being 'country'. I would not exactly describe it as being country although it is marketed as wine country.. It is more rural urban.. So anyway the fact that we fall in the 'country category, 4 of july is really a big deal. I live in apartments in the outskirts of the city and yesterday it looked like all the residents had taken time off.. I have never seen all of them at home like that, it has always seemed to me that they are always somewhere pursuing money

One of my neighbors from down stairs, one Californian born Californian bread white man of about 70something decided to throw a barbeque party. He tries very hard to keep social with me, in fact at one time my ol'lady got worried that he may be in fact a child molester…. I actually burst out laughing considering how not a child I am.. Plus he is somewhat cool, he drives a 1950 something el Camino. One time when he was replacing his battery, I got to look at his trucks engine and saw he had put in a HOT ROD air filter.. Really cool...So I was invited to the party although I did not attend, that day I was not in the mood to hang out with the drunk neighbors.

I had noticed earlier in the day he had hung an American flag from our balcony, you know just like the average patriot he is.. During the barbeque they kept on talking about the American revolution, they were making a hell lot of noise and I would hear them talking about the American revolution.. During the day he played the Kenyan cd I had given him. It was really cool to hear one of my neighbours, some chic who work s for the company that owns our apartments saying that she wanted to get the sana sana track for her ipod.. It got me thinking of how good some Kenyan merchandise is and how and how they would have a huge market outside Kenya…

Well, I am moving in a few weeks, I have to do some planning.. And that means me getting off the internet..
