Musings – An Attempt To Understand Pain

July 14, 2009 Random

I went to an international school, Machabeng High School, in a small African country, Lesotho, that has the privilege of being the only country in the world landlocked by one country. The teachers and students in my school came from all over the world and, at some stage, we had over 30 different nationalities from [...]

Musings – A Return To The Source

July 2, 2009 Random

I have come to the conclusion that Ghanaians are nomadic creatures. Beings who thrive on motion. Being of Ghanaian descent, I was born and raised outside of the true Black Star Nation. In 36 years, I spent a little time in Ghana as a baby (literally) until December of last year when I made the [...]

Another Link In The Chain

June 21, 2009 Random

Wrote this for my first Father’s Day as a father: What is it about our society today?  The eternal optimist, I truly believe that there is always hope, for the individual and for our species as a whole, but there is one thing I can’t figure out?  On a daily basis, I met people – [...]

Kobi Onyame – He Said, She Said

June 16, 2009 Music

It ain’t easy. Talent is something that we, as human beings, have in abundance. The creation of beauty, melody, harmony is second nature to so many in our midst, yet we may never hear, see, touch or feel most of what is out there. That said, the birth and evolution of social media might just [...]

Who's Your Daddy?

June 9, 2009 Random

I’ve always wanted to be a father.  To be honest, the idea of offspring was always easier to digest than the partner to create that child with.  For some reason, I’ve always believed that I will make a decent father, but it has, up till now, been a theoretical exercise in self-evaluation. I also come [...]

ramblings – is there such a thing as an anti-expert?

May 29, 2009 Random

I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I am not an expert.  I know a bit about a lot of things and a lot more about a couple of things but there is nothing that I know inside out.  I love music, but I can’t quote you dates, and albums, and lyrics, and whatever.  I [...]

A layman’s thoughts on Nokia Music Store

May 26, 2009 Random

The bottom-line is this: all these great things happen in the world and Africa tends to be an after-thought, in relation to these happenings. Yes, we do lag behind in a number of instances but how do you think it feels when you are perceived as being at the bottom of the human barrel?  Not [...]

May 21, 2009 Random

When I was in Accra last, I spent a lot of time chilling with DJ Black at the Joy Fm studios.  This is one of those times. Still more to come.

ramblings – new beginnings

May 16, 2009 Random

The last couple of months have been long. A journey laced with apathy, lethargy and a lack of direction as I make a transition out of where I was to where I think I want to go. The one thing my last job taught me is that I am not necessarily the most employable person [...]
