Like a flash, he left me in November, and it is exactly 1 year today when the tragic event occur. I must confess that, I still cannot believe he is gone forever, each time I remember him. His demise certainly makes death a challenge to me, for since the time he left me, the great beyond had not been something I dreaded anymore. No days, weeks or months had ever passed that I had not remembered him, feeling the pain every day, weeks, months and the date of 17 November, 2005 ringing in my ears. There are certain places in the house we shared together, that I dreaded going to or touch some things that we both share in the house. I solely build my life around him, and alas, he had left me.
The best way to keep his memory alive is to remember him and adore his life and times with me in an occasion like this, and I am proud that he is my son even though, death snatch him too soon for him to realise the type of life I had planned for him. I had wanted to compensate him for my separation with his mother, and to compensate him for my seeming neglects because of his stubborness by the time he grown up to know I was merely trying to correct his way of life. I had plans with his name as my next of kin, and with him to benefit an insurance policy, the policy I had since lost interest in paying the premium ever since he left me. Were him to be alive today my son, he will have few months to his 14 years, I missed him so much.
At a time, I felt since he had gone, perhaps emptiness is what is left for me in this world, but the rapid growth of his brother who was 3 months old when he left us keeps me alive. To commemorate his one year demise today, I had started a blog in his name. Please feel free to visit the blog on Hazards of life See link since his demise is an accident that could have been avoided.
Rest in Perfect Peace my son. I Missed you so much. Adieu.

American Citizens power lies in their votes
They have been drumming it into the ears of their President George Bush Jr. ever since he invaded Iraq, now the people of America have used their power to make a statement, No to the war in Iraq.
I mean no one who has a blood run run in his/her veins will not be disturbed with the daily occurence of bloodshed in Iraq. Day in day out, it is highly disturbing so much that questions are beginning to being asked as to whether the invasion was justified or not. The truth however is that, should Saddam is still on the throne, the daily killings will certainly not have existed. Further truth is that, Bush once again failed in this invasion, and it is only a matter of time before the world will summarise this failure to a disgrace. Just pause to ponder over this!

Sir Alex Fergusson and Chewing gum habit
Each time I took great reluctancy to watch Manchester United Matches, (I am an Arsenal and Pompey fans) I noticed the rate at which the Scott man, Sir Alex chew gum, like Michael Jordan who also chew gum during games because he believed it help him concentrates. It was not long however when I ponder at the real reason why Sir Fergusson choose to chew gum. After careful research into internet I came to conlusion that, he probably resort to this habit because of the following reasons:
On a lighter note however, I ponder seriously as to when actually did the Scott man started chewing gum and of course what type of gum is his favourite and how many number of gum has he murdered to date? Another research also into internet yield no results, but I stumble on a rumour that he is known to a brand of gum call 'Juicy Fruit' and that to-date, he has been estimated to have consumed over million numbers of gum since he started the habit. Can you believed that? It was also rumoured that,the underneath of some chairs in dressing room of Manchester United is not without sticked chewing gum pasted after some matches. Ever Ponder whether those are true?
Lastly, pause and ponder along with me when next you are watching Manchester United play, watch Sir Alex Fergusson while chewing his gum and if you are lucky to see him smile at the same time, tell me how the Scott man look like?
Chewing gum has been identified with improving memory according to various studies. Also, it is known that gum-chewers scored 25% higher than the control group on immediate word recall tests, and 36% higher on delayed word recall tests. Scientists point to three, non-mutually exclusive reasons, the simplest of which attributes the higher scores to the gum-chewers' increased heart rate (and, by extension, increased blood flow to the brain). [3] Despite this, chewing gum is banned in many schools. The chewing process expends approximately 12 calories per hour (14 watts) and chewing gum when travelling on an aircraft can counteract the irritation caused by changes in air pressure. [4] Gum containing the sugar alcohol xylitol can help counteract tooth decay. Minty chewing gum can help clear nasal passages.

Funny Ringtones and Catchy Adverts et al
Trust Nigerians, the ringtones craze is the in thing now. There abounds different types of ringtones manufacture to suit Naija settings. I have heard of the famous one - I dey ring o, there is also the phone is ringing, and of course This is a phone call for you.
Of all those ringtones, I love I dey ring o, the part I love best is 'I don cut o' Has anyone heard of all those ringtones? It is a pity I cant upload them here for readers. But, mail me if you need any of the ringtones.
However, talking about catchy adverts, while I hate MTN adverts though they are somehow very sweet, interesting and entertaining, I hate those adverts because what the MTN knows how to do best is advertising, so each time they come up with those sleaky adverts, I ended up watching it once and each time i come across them again, I change my channels. But of particular advert I love to watch nowadays is that of Skye Bank. Check the lyrics:
I wish I had a friend

Oh, to smile everyday of my life
and I wish I can go far in life without stress
Skye Bank always there
saying yes to your needs.
Now isnt that interesting?, not to talk of the tunes which nimbly and swiftly drums nice sounds into your gentle senses.
Ever pause to ponder what I enjoy about that advert of Skye Bank, try and catch the advert when next it is being air on TV.
