Same ol, celebs n some love quotes...
...I know I've been a terrible blogger but life just seems to be really crazy right now, so much to do, too little time, sounds cliche but oh so very true unfortunately!! One thing for sure though is how grateful I am for each new day, like my previous entry, I'm all about new beginnings, a fresh start and It's all very refreshing! Letting go and letting God, turning my focus to the things that really do matter coz at the end of the day, it is about the choices we make...still trying to prioritize my life, stop procrastinating, blah, blah, all those never ending, 'same old' challenges but I'm certainly taking a whole new approach to overcoming them and praying for resilience...
...There's a Ugandan-Canadian Conference in Van city this October, can't wait to see what that's all about If I end up going, I guess the Canadian chapter of the UG-US confrences starts here and hopefully will be as good...
...What is it about celebrities that completely enthralls us? I dunno...I am one of those people that keep saying to myself, ohhh, they're no big deal and I so wouldn't freak out and go crazy If I ever got to meet one and so is my sister but here's a story, she who meets a whole lot of em thru her work and also having lived in L.A a long time n all was lucky to mingle with a few this past week and judging by the excitement in her voice when she called to give me the 411, she was almost as bad as a groupie, lol...It's hard to explain since y'all dunno her but trust me, not much excites her so hearing her go on and on 'bout this really amused me...just so u know, it was Bishop Desmond Tutu's birthday bash hosted by Denzel and a couple of other black (cute, lol) celebrities...he was a no-show probably coz he's busy filming that new movie but atleast she got to meet the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, who she said was kinda snobby at first, I'm trying to explain it like she did but it was kinda much, lol, he later chilled out though apparently when he finally believed that all she wanted was to just say hi and nothing more, dunno wat exactly he was expecting, uhhm, who else, Stevie Wonder, Magic Johnson, Bishop Tutu ofcourse, whom she described as very sweet and grandfatherly, aww, he just looks it nyway, Anthony Andersen, Blair Underwood, who she had like a half hour conversation with and kept on telling herself and him that she couldn't believe they were actually chatting, lol...and for the ladies, he looks even cuter in person apparently, lol...nyway, bottom line is it's really funny how celebritised (not a real word probably) we can all get....
Oh and speaking of the bash, my sister mentioned how the theme of the night was "Obuntu" which supposedly means the same thing in one of the South African dilects that it does in my language, a Ugandan (East African) dilect...I found that cool, a word having the exact same meaning and yet from such different parts of Africa...it means giving by the way or having a good heart...
Very, very random today, lol...but here are a couple of love quotes I found kinda interesting...
To live is like to love - all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it. ~ Samuel Butler~
