Hey everybody,i just wanna let you know that Lawrence's  Ride is taking a break  for now.Have a good time!




Chao..!

Gotcha!:My Letter To *....................*

Dear  you,
 It’s been long since we talked. Things have been great lately. I see you have gotten lots of toys.
 The boys with the most toys win, I hope they are right..Anyways toys come and go and in a year or two they maybe the obsolete as silicon valley, India and china invent their way into much better  toys or rather the pimping of the good  old toys.

Are doing as great within, dear friend or are you faking it all through?. Playing impostor and  praying no one finds out. I guess you may not admit anything but I will go ahead and make a fool of myself. Here is my advice, listen carefully because no one may be this honest with you.

First lets bury the shadows. You seem not have a great time immediately before this season. Lots of things you would rather forget have happened and you have somehow shoved them down in the basement, hoping they wont pop out now and then. I would advise you to face them head on and for ever move on. Take each and everyone of the events and analyze them. Accept the part you contributed, and rectify them, if possible or at least admit your part. Then accept the fact that some things are not repairable, thus must be forgiven and forgotten. Allow fate or god to be the one to keep score over them. Now live and let live, let sleeping dogs lie.

Second, I see you still the same you, always running from making commitments, always  on the move. I suggest you allow yourself to take chances and give a try to this ‘domestication’. it isn’t as bad a s you think. It is even healthier coz of the stability it gives. Its time you let the probability of being broken loom around you. I know your strong but being a little vulnerable isnt at all sissy, its rather a sign of strength and maturity.
So i hope you give a try for the  love of  God!. Ships are safe on the harbor but they weren’t built to stay. Its the storms, the winds and the long days at sea that toughen the ship and the crew.

Lastly, I hope you keep up the good work on the books. keep it up and be very competitive and edgy, I  would advise you to put all your heart in it and get the best you can coz your are extraordinarily talented we all know it. Take the long hours and do everything that must be  done should be done in time.

I would have loved that i take you out to lunch at some place and talk this thru but you are so elusive,that it cant be arranged.I poke into your business and  annoy you coz I care.

I wish you all the best.

Your sincerely,
Generalized other

unconquerable:"Invictus"


I discovered this poem from the movie invictus,it was partially quoted by Mandela and the captain of the rugby team.it was written by William Ernest Henley. I good poem indeed.




Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul



NB:





As i researched on the poem,i found the story of the poet also fascinating. 


"At the age of 12, Henley became a victim of tuberculosis of the bone.[ A few years later the disease progressed to his foot, and physicians announced that the only way to save his life was to amputate directly below the knee. In 1867 he successfully passed the Oxford local examination as a senior student. In 1875 he wrote the "Invictus" poem from a hospital bed. Despite his disability, he survived with one foot intact and led an active life until the age of 53.
Invictus is Latin for  
unconquerable



Puzzle..

Dear friends
I am a gentleman in his late 60s. I am married with 5 wives and have 20
kids. The latest baby is from a relationship with a 39 year old whom I
am not married to. I have just married my latest wife and engaged to
another. Now I am not sure if I should marry the 39 year old. She is the
child of my friend and I don’t want to cause a rift between me and my
friend. Please help.
yours sincerely,
Anonymous.

Let those who can think ,know...

Second,  Zodiak has replaced its mediocre web page with an ass-kicking one.It really looks great.Go see it!.The only problem is that the live-streaming is still failing.I hope they cancel their contract with this new raadio provider and get another one better ,like the old days with Live365.TVM also has a good web page,what is lacking there is live streaming,I hope one day we will watch live streaming of TVM online also.


I also would like to congratulate the my host,the Pharaohs of  Egypt for taking  the  AFCON  for  record the third time.By the way im not from Ghana,so next time you see me, don't confuse me for Ghananian..kikiki.

 I believe its the ONLY reason for success.......

One Young World Summit....


A friend  of mine  Tiwonge Kanyenda , would like your  to be a  delegate  at  One Young World Summit:Read her address to you and take a minute to Vote for her.

YOUR VOTE
I am a Malawian national who is a current sophomore and recipient of the International Student Aid Award at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY). A double major in Nutritional Science and Africana Studies with a minor in Global Health, I am the Director for Social Outreach in COAS (Coalition of Pan African Scholars), Peer Advisor for the College of Arts and Sciences, and an active member of Biology Scholars Program (BSP), Campus Crusade for Christ and International Students Association (ISAA).


Until recently, I have lived all my life in one country i.e. Malawi. As much as it offered the comfort of being within familiar settings and culture, it offered me a single story about life. A story that had similar beliefs, religion, values and culture. It lacked the possibility of challenging my acquired beliefs thus there was no need to think or question why all my teachers in primary school were male or why I was always treated by male doctors. It was a single story of women who had accepted less than they deserved, those who refused to take the challenge to become leaders as their male counterparts.


My acceptance into the United States Achievers Program (USAP Malawi) in 2008 was the beginning of a journey that would redefine the single story I had been made to believe. I realized that I had the power to either be the victim of my circumstances or be the master of them. I was empowered to believe that a better tomorrow begins with me today.


With this new realization of the potential I possessed, I joined an HIV/AIDS youth group (Youth Ambassadors) that provides information on the pandemic to high school students in Malawi. I also became an avid reader on almost all subjects which inspired me to join a book club (Ben Carson Book Club-Malawi) which aims to revive the reading culture among the Malawian youth. Over the past two summers I have volunteered at an Orthopedic Hospital (Beit-Cure International Malawi) where I rose from being the receptionist to a runner in the Operating Theater. I have also tutored high school students in preparation of their national examinations at Jacaranda Foundation (a school for orphans in Blantyre, Malawi).


As I continue to redefine my life story at Cornell, I have had the privilege of working with professors who further inspire me to greater heights. In the summer of 2010; I will have the privilege of working with one of my professors in Tanzania where I will volunteer at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center. My classroom experiences with people from all backgrounds and nationalities have helped me in understanding health, environmental and social issues faced by the world. It is my hope that all these opportunities will give me a chance to share my experiences and redefine someone’s life story.


My participation in the One Young World Conference will be an opportunity to interact with fellow youths who aspire to achieve and make a difference in their communities. It will be an opportunity for me to further redefine my single story and also help those from the various countries to redefine their single stories on particular countries or health, political, economic or social issue of certain countries.


It will be a privilege to interact with young leaders who hope to empower and enrich their communities. I would love to be part of a new decade that promises a world revolution by the youth. I hope you will find me suitable to represent Malawi at the One Young World Summit. Your vote and support will go a long way in fulfilling a “PROMISE TO A BETTER WORLD”.


Sincerely,
Tiwonge J Kanyenda
