Decade
Blogs
As an Englishman, we are quite well
schooled in modesty and self-deprecation, yet, there are circumstances where we
must come out of our shells to trumpet a cause.
That is what I have had to do to
persuade many to write for my blog in commemoration of my Decade of Blogging.
Raymond Inkabi is one such who on reading of my milestone blogging anniversary honoured my request for bloggers to join my #YourBlogOnMyBlog campaign on Twitter. Yet, when I saw the acronym of that hashtag, I
thought the better of it.
What Raymond has written below,
leaves me reeling; the praise, the comparisons, and the deference – he has been
too kind, too kind for me to find that words to express gratitude than effusive
thanks. Thank you Raymond.
Ten years
of blogging is a good thing
To have different forms of creativity of different orientations
respectively, from different spaces like Ten years of blogging immeasurable
life changing content; constitute consistency in wit, as constituting constancy
in drive. Suggesting the existence; of truly diverse specie floating in space.
Ten years, they say is enough to
define one's self. But in order to be accountable post humans, we must see the
near futures; create tactical little goals and also a strategic unification of
issues that increases the expressivity of other sapiens nodular moments on the
way towards an ultimate creative future of joy - a future that we humans cannot
think.
Just as many sapiens come, make their
mark and go to the great beyond. Father Mandela passed on 5th of December just
3 days to your anniversary. With tears we celebrated a life well lived. With
love we now also celebrate a decade well blogged.
Akin, akin to Tata to be a book, then
we are today lost in its multiple narratives and countless miscellanea. If we
take it as a medium through which to reflect and explore the world, this book
is no longer able to up with the speed at which narratives now unfold in it.
What led Akin to blog, might as well
lead us to the question of chaos and the stubborn Pandora. The struggle with
chaos is the only instrument of a more profound struggle against opinion then
peace. For most people misfortune comes from opinion. Like Akin; again like
Mandela.
But can we imagine an earth without
landscapes, books without pages, fruitful deserts, more optimistically we must
celebrate Akin. With whom I have developed a voracious appetite for, having
become a pupil - thanks to Twitter. We must celebrate him through the
exhaustion of the now - a decade of blogging - with joy and happiness let’s
rejoice in the now, which is the future.
Akins’ vocabulary can be likened to
that of strong cowboy's whiskey - undiluted wine and liquor - bringing tears to
inexperienced eyes, forcing those tiny lights off and rendering one into
temporary darkness; grinning before finding way down the bowels. Just a sip
needs courage. So is @forakin's choice of wine.
And are there other things to be found within these barrels? Yes, beyond these depths: namely wit and trust, not forgetting great subs (subliminal messages on Twitter called subtweets) also! Simply put, the present may be the moment of imagination and of space travels again.
This I reason in spite of our utopian
belief, we may now have the means to extend our imaginative potentials further
than ever - ten years of blogging is a good thing!
