How is Tumwijuke?

She likes this dude, [played by Common-Sense the r(w)apper) and] he is a star player on his team hustling to make the playoffs then he injures his knee mid-season!

I am hard-pressed not to drop the remainder of the plot as I am a story-teller on the B2B-joint. If you want to catch the movie, hola at Mr. Soft aka EddieSoft… he has that shyte all on lock-down!

Now, not to take anything away from Queen Lah and her performance in a lead role, the title of this post bears some credence to the movie JustRight. A couple of years ago before I hooked up with TheHottness, I used to think that being with a girl (woman to some) was such a big deal. Every dude I looked at was covered in all the basics in terms of a car, a dope job, and always had time for his own Hottness.

Little did I know that when my time came, I was also being looked at the chap who had it all together with a decent gig, a hot chic, and a cool ride as well…

As someone in the deal, and learning that time is a constant yet scarce commodity that attracts the highest yield for those who value it most, I have come to realize that the times that we do cherish and appreciate the most are the ones that we are squeezed out of nothing!

These nothing to something ones are talked about so much so, that whenever you remember them, you take the time to even sail away back to the time when you were actually in the deal. These are the ones that cross your mind more often than not, and teach you to make opportunities out of nothing!

Getting a tad bit emotional huh!

Been a while…

Thanks Sunshine!

I’ll be watching you

Every single day/ Every word you say
Every game you play/ Every night you stay

I’ll be watching you

Baby can’t you see/ You belong to me
My poor heart aches/ With every step you take

Every move you make/ Every vow you break
Every smile you fake/ Every claim you stake

I’ll be watching you

Since you’ve gone I’ve been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it’s you I can’t replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please

O can’t you see/ You belong to me
My poor heart aches / With every step you take

Every move you make/ Every vow you break
Every smile you fake/ Every claim you stake

I’ll be watching you

Every move you make/ Every step you take

I’ll be watching you…

There is no half way| in between| almost made it|

I beg to digress…

You see all this comes about only and only when it really does matter!
And when does it really do matter…???

When ever you deal with someone’s emotions, it matters

Examples aside…

You check out hot shawtie on the phone at the corner looking all snazzy and not bothered by the wind whistling under her skirt… (I can imagine the view, hmmmn!)

You walk up to her to say hi. She sees your intent in your eyes, and tells the person on the phone she’ll call back.

Then you trip over the small stone that you could not see coz you was focusing on her eyes…

You get up calmly, sort out the dust on your clothes, and walk away

It doesn’t matter, or does it?

She calls you back and says…
“hey playa, are you gwan walk away
just like that”

Your plan has worked
——————–
You set up the appointment for the mid afternoon sleepy Thursday, in the AC filled board room and plan a way of livening up the soon-to-be-retired CEOs and their overtly snobbishness!

Half of them call to say they will be late coz of the jam, and the other half are on time as always eyeing the hot new receptionist!

Can’t blame them huh! Men will be men (chuckles)

The meeting begins on time as scheduled and you lower the AC to increase the warmth at the boring parts of the presentation…

Then as a few of the present CEOs start nodding off, the late chaps turn up thus waking up the dosers!!

As the presentation drags on, you ask the hot new receptionist to come in and turn up the AC!

The place cools down and heats up at the same time and you notice this, so you ask the HNR to stay a while longer by bringing in cold drinks with ice cubes in the bucket!

Little do they know that HNR is actually the new Tech Manager responsible for results!

They only find out when she takes over the presentation at its most boring!

And only then do we all pay attenshun!!!

LOLsss

Nada2say right about now!

Just glad to have what to write!

Shout outs to Ms.Kintu, Val, Tumwi, the chaps at nodesix, all the fellaz involved at UrbanLegend, Dark_Choc (yeah, I know you is in on this), Sy (need to read something about Rhys sometime), Tumwi, and Lucee… (this time it ain’t personal is it now??)…

AuntiePop (for you, it is personal!!! Get off of FB for a week and drop a joint already)

After all was said and done however, the usual suspects triumphed with the final four being Italy, France, Germany and Portugal stood tall.. Twenty-Oh-Six is the first time in the history of FIFA’s WC that a person has been awarded the prestigious FIFA Player of the Year for not scoring any goals but rather protecting his goal keeper from any of the wandering superbly skilled strikers and mid-fielders… Incase you are wondering whether the name Fabio rings a bell, be sure to let it stick in your minds that most footballers who are world reknown akina Diego Maradona , David Beckham, Gabriel Batistuta, Zizou, Stevie G, David Ginola, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Romario, and a host of other Brazilian born super-skill-ful players are actually all out attack-minded intent-filled gems…

They light up the entire stadium (and flat screen at your local sports bar) with oohs, and aaghs, when they keep going and going and leaving defenders in their wake and goal keepers looking like a pack of fallen cards, LOLs!!!

Truth be told that the way the world works is related but somewhat slightly different but the more you take a closer look at it, the more you realise that the world ani’t never chilling withthe defenders of the earth! Of course by defenders of the earth, a bwana has no serious meaning other than all those people who are serious about engaging in their own duties mainly because they like their roles and how they execute them…

Meanwhile up ahead you have the other chaps who know how to make things look really good and all the while making others stress themselves trying to make an impression that in good parts will just be brushed aside because the world usually blindsides the smaller picture for the bigger more-fun-to-be-associated with picture…

So, ask yourself one question:

Who do you know in the European and World Cup winning Spanish teams of both 2008 and 2010 respectively that is a world class defender…

Other than the amazingly talented Andreas Iniesta, Xavi, Fernando Torres, David Villa or the afro-stylized Carles Puyol???

Or how the accountant makes sure that the auditor and the local tax aithorities are smiling coz he/she has set up the paperwork so smoothly and organized it in such a way to clarify it twice would be an abomination

What i am getting at is another in the truly basiknes plan….

The end of the jigsaw puzzle usually is lauded and given all due props right?

But in between finding the missing link, and the identical pieces of the pie altogether while missing on all those dope hang-out sessions, and chill-out ones too…

Funny though is no matter how hard or diligently you push along, there always is someone who makes this shyte looks so easy and can do it in her sleep…

But then between you and me, we all know that whatever story you mention, the distance taken to become the finished product has no shortcuts whatsoever….

Back2basiks i tell you!

The very first time i had a huge argument with erm… anyone be it my former class teacher, my mom+dad, oh shyte, my sister, my supervisor, my client, TheHottnessHerself, or even me’self…

It always came back to same thing…

Standing Under…

I used to always want to be the one who is understood. Always the one who is standing on top of the other person, and i had gained a reputation of being a retaliator with quick facts about relevantly related issues towards the argument…

This was always certain to shut up the other person and made sure that the other person would always take a second before choosing to argue with me!

You see yours truly Basiks was always one to win an argument and not giving a shyte about what the other person was thinking much less feeling!

Huh!

Now in the true face or maturity, the fact that it ain’t that much about you comes to light!

I can imagine the humility it takes for someone who has been a corporate bigwig to stand-under a huge bunch of people who he knows nada about and has to make sure that their interests in the August House are met with just as much gusto as the Senior manager’s needs at your former corner office at the country’s #2 tour and travel company!!

You see, in the book of basiks, the fact that we can understand somebody by simply standing under them and giving them leeway sometimes makes you wonder if at all being an understanding person actually works…

Many a time it does, but it takes the usually unusual levels of maturity to chill and smoke a cigarette while patienlt trying to stand under the other person while they are at there place begging you to get their…

Been a while since i dropped a joint!

Shout out to former favourite blogren

Tumwi

Carsozy

Val

Tandra

Ivan… Ok, he is still in the loot

AntiPop! Ever since you found FB, blogspot was kicked to the kerb…

The reason why i have so aptly titled this joint “camouflage” is coz the other morning i actually saw a Chamillionaire oops, sorry a Chameleone change its colours from an amazingly beautiful green colour to an almost invisible very light borwn in the flesh!

I was privy to the act as i looked left and right and noticed that i was the only stunned individual in the surrounding vicinity that seemed to be awestruck . the little girl playing the roadside dust was busy building a castle with some stones and i was stopped in my tracks by the sight of a chameleone trying to avoid me seeing it..

I did notice that unless you really do focus, the camouflage is designed to work well.

So, building on these selfish streaks is a lesson that needs to be learnt the hard way huh Antipop. Seriously speaking, we deal with drama every hour of the day and that is when you do not even go looking for it! Amazing.

So, camouflage is designed to help you be smoothened out to make sure that when the drama does come looking for Basiks, it has to focus really hard just incase it gets a wrong form of Basiks who is realy to deal with camouflage first coz we have and are still learning to grapple with drama by the short and curlies too!

Seriously…

I have been trying to blog about it for such a long-ish time and realised that there in lies the problem…

TRYING!

Truth be told that being Mr. Back2Basiks ain’t all as sexy as it used to be…

Having nice stuff to write about off the top was a dope experience…

Dropping hilarious joints and getting tonnes of comments (excuse the pun Chanel) is still a nice feeling…

But deep down, the whole ish of actually going B2B does make life a little deeper and sometimes all the more crap if you know what i mean…

You see sometimes you wanna play both sides of the coin, and deep down that opportunity avails itself…

Too bad that this might be the only selfishness that you might ever achieve..

EVER…

This sentence came about a few months ago when i had lost my specific blogging keyboard and i was in the middle of a discussion with one of our private initiative clients.

“You see Basiks,” Q started

“the truth about the hustle is that no one ever knows or actually sees you are hustling…”

“most people are only interested in you when you begin to make progres”

Truth be told, Me and Q-man go a long long way back.

We was tight buddies at primary school and when he used to come home to play Super Mario Brothers on the Nintendo NES, and hanging out at their new homes whenever his politically pimped dad was given free-reign to check out some dope properties…

So, when Q and EYE were having the laid back one on one discussion about the process of success, we never tried to take anything for granted when we were trying to know-tice the uneek set of difference that exist between us and the more energized and successful people.

My Uncle Iggy, who i could say is your typical leave school, get a job, get married and have kids type man, recently finished his MBA at the grand age of 50 and realised what the whole world was on about making hay while the sun shines, and the opportunities that have fallen into his lap at his age are astounding…

He feels that successful people should be a case study in the real world because there is always something that pushes them on, that unexplainable will to try once more… and overlook the small failure that just seemed to cause a blip in the progress meter…

The finished product never allows you to see the actual goings on, and this thus will always be a curse in the actual process…
