Hey All

This was my day friday.... March 11th, 2011 :) ... I LOVE MY BIG BROTHER :D

Story For Wed, 3/09/ 11

You would not believe what a day I had. I was in the city getting a suit for my brother's wedding and I seen some urban suits. But, since I got my suit...I am satisfied. When I was on my way home, my niece called me after she got out of school telling me that she was isolated from the rest of the class because she didn't focus on her work. It started to rain before I went to the train station, so I needed refuge to protect me from the rain. While I was waiting for the rain to slow down I called my brother to see if he made anyone else forfeit in the video game. After a few minutes, I had no choice but to hang up on this erratic conversation because he started talking about non-sense. (10 minutes later the train arrived at the train station) I stepped on the train and sat down. I was being nosey and listening to 2 girls reminiscing about a dialog they had yesterday. When I was walking home from the train station I forgot that I have extensive amount of paper work to do for class today. But, as soon as I got home, I went to the fridge to get some food or snacks to fortify my focus so I can finish my papers. Since, all the lights were off, I had to turn them on to illuminate the house while I finish up my papers for tomorrow. So, the next day came. I woke up with a smile on my face because I finished my paper(s) for school while going through the worst yesterday. :)

On the Eve of christmas day, i happened to in a cab with two other boys who were travelling to spend the christmas holidays in Asiakwa. This was the dialog that went on in the Taxi Cab;
First guy......Do u REMINISCE our previous expedition in the URBAN?
Second guy...Yes i do.We were lucky to have found REFUGE when our vehicle broke down very close to the bridge.
First guy....On a brighter side, I think the soccer match we witnessed is an eveent which ILLUMINATES the christmas holidyas every year.
Second guy....Yes,I think so but it was marked by ERRATIC shooting upfront which made the home team FORFEIT the trophy.
First guy....there was also EXTENSIVE jubilations from supporters of the away side.One ugly incident was that of the referee.He was attacked immediately by the home side when he blew his final whistle.
Driver......I think the best thing was for the security present to ISOLATE the referee from the supporters or better still, FORTIFY their number at the venue to bring the situation under control.

I laughed out loud and they asked me why I was laughing.I answered..."I was at the stadium too"

Ghana Independence Day: 6th March 1957

Ghana was the first black African country to gain independence on the 6th March 1957. Dr Kwame Nkrumah was the first prime minister of Ghana and in his first speech said "Ghana, your beloved country is free forever"

The Duchess of Kent attended the ceremony and read a message from the Queen, in which she said "The hopes of many, especially in Africa, hang on your endeavours. It is my earnest and confident belief that my people in Ghana will go forward in freedom and justice."

In reply, Dr Nkrumah said: "My government fully realises both the advantages and the responsibilities involved in the achievement of independence. It intends to make full use of these advantages to increase the prosperity of the country."
