Easter greetings!!!

another year and the bunnies and eggs come out to play.the weekend sees easter here with us again..for me that means plenty of sun and sand as il be heading off to our coastal city(Mombasa).don't mean to brag but we got white beaches,among the very few coastlines that do.

anyway apart from the holiday bit of it,easter still has a lot of religious significance with lots of people world over.

so, however you will be celebrating this easter,do enjoy yourself.

how will you be celebrating this holiday/holyday?

new emblem, first blog of the year and such

first got this emblem,adds to my very limited collection so im obviously overjoyed.

well this is my very first blog for this year.so a belated happy new year to everyone!!

a lot has happened since the close of the year..in my country more so. my country(kenya) has been rocked by bursts of violence for the better part of this new year. this unfourtunately has hit on the tyme i can be on gamespot.but at least im breathing

back to gaming, finally got my hands on the hitman games. currently on hitman2 silent assasin, gotta say its really impressed me cant wait to clear it and get on to the next one. id always snubbed it, so when i first saw the previews for the movie i decided to check which game was this that was jumping onto the big screen.

on the hitman movie,at least it wasn't a dissapointment, i wouldn't give it movie of the year but still it was good.

well,looking forward to what the gaming industry has to offer us this year

about my exams

well id been doing my end of third year university exams..im doing medicine by the way. so now im only left with what we call an oral exam. this is where its just yourself and your lecturer(examiner), so they get to ask you random questions based on what has been covered in the syllabus, which for me is what has been done for the past two years.

then all that will be left is the nerve racking wait for the results.

the worst thing about my uni, or medical school here in my country is that if one does not attain the required pass mark, you are kicked out of the programme.so its gonna be a living nightmare.

il probably be getting my results two weeks from now..

soul crushing begining of the week

i started off this week with two continious assesment tests that are supposed to be in preparation for my end of third year campus exams and ended up feeling totaly crushed.

there is a way that my examiners seem to have perfected the art of making the studedt feel totaly inadequate and useless. like all the reading one had done was totaly pointless.

anyway this had kept me all absorbed for most of the last week so i couldn't really spend time on the site checking whats happening. so today ive decided to go all out and post a personal record best of more than one blog post in a day.

at least ots helpong me calm down..id have otherwise been out ther geting totaly wasted(not a good thing if you have your finals in two weeks). so yup. thats it for this post...

lucky: may he rest in peace

on this past week one of reggae greats was gunned down during a botched hijacking in his home town in Southafrica. what makes this even more distressing is that this all occured in full view of his teenage son who was left in total devastation, shock and disbelief of the passing of his father right infront of him.

Lucky Dube shall be remembered by many for his works as an artist, his creativity and an african great who helped put the spotlight on the continent.

choppers and crotch rockets

ive always have had a thing for bikes, possibly because the traffic-jams in my home city can be quite a nightmare, talking of spending three hours to cover a 10kilometer journey..so yeah the luv was born. it started as a small thing but now im seriously considering it..given that crotch rockets are a bit unsightly to be seen in id rather a chopper ora cruiser.

crotch rocket

chopper

that chopper would be my next possesion if i could find someone to ship it

one down countless more to go

did one of my continious assesment exams yesterday, and wasn't that a killer..it was an oral exam where you sit with your examiner and he/she asks you any question from what has been covered in the syllabus, for me thats two years worth of reding material..the worst part of it is it always seems that you get asked questions from what one read the least on..sucks, im sooo hating campus right now.if it wasn't for my folks id quit and start over with someting new

upcoming exams

ive got my third year campus exams coming up in a couple of weeks and can't help but be a little freaked out at the moment..the whole thing of reading and preparing way ahead as to keep up with the work load can sometimes be easier said than done.partly because what im doing has tonnes of workload, with tonnes more each day.kinda frustrating at times...but all the same its not like ive got an option..if i dont pass my exams my folks will kill me..

then there's the continious assesments, this week for example the campus heads decided for no absolute reason to change the time table for the tests, thats completely messed up. felt like strungling someone

Passing of a hero:Colin mcRae

the untimely death of former WRC champion Colin mcRae robbed the world of a great sportsman. mcRae passed away in a helicopter crash a couple of weeks back(18/09/2007). his passing has been a great tragedy to the motorsport world where he would surely be missed.

he is the inspiration behind the popular Colin mcRae rally game developed by codemasters, which also just recently added DiRT to their title collections.

my condolences are with his family, friends and fellow scotts, whom were proud to have one of their own on the world map.

Colin McRae enjoyed phenomenal success as a...

mind blowing game

in terms of ubsolutely great mind blowingly good games id have to put prince of persia way up there, and more specifically, POP warrior within. from the story line to the game sounds to the moves, its one hell of a package. completely addictive too.

but on the play station2 platform, one of the better games worth mentioning is WRC, the thrill of the rally is unbeatable as is the authenticity of the tracks in the game.

Hello,anyone out there from Africa?

hello people. am i the only one out here from a country most of the so called civilisd world doesn't recognize?

Im from a not so small country in the eastern part of Africa called Kenya. Any chance there's someone out there from this part of the world?

Even so its great being from around here. Il site a few examples: how many of you can get stopped by police for over speeding and still get away with it, after giving a fabricated story of an emergency down town?
