Today, January 20th, 2009, I watched Barack Obama get inaugarated as the 44th President of the United States of America. It seemed an almost far stretched dream from the days of his elections in the caucuas in the Democratic primaries.
But it happened.
Thus, today I embark on my own dream; a dream that I have spoken about ever since I started working in a Pharmacy. It a dream that I have long held for over 5 years, one that I am following now because of the fierce urgency of now.
By no means am I faltering as I always have because of disbelief in myself. My transcript is not as 'stupendous' as my advisor Dr Newland put it, because I lacked direction and didn't see it fit to put my all into getting the best possible grades.
I have sat and watched too long. And now, and tomorrow, and the day after that, I will solemnly put all my effort, my breath and my time towards a profession that is of use to me and everyone around me.
If there's anything I've learnt from working in the Pharmacy for the past 4 years, its that I should never limit myself; rather, I should push myself and see how long I can go.
Tomorrow, I start calling the schools I'm interested in; MCPHS, LIU, Rutgers, to ask and see what I can do to make it a reality.
A new day has come. I will write everyday to document my progress.
The future, no, my future is now.

Femi Kuti On tour!!!
I am still looking at tickets, as I would love to see him in concert.
Something some people might now know is that Femi Kuti's voice is featured in the videogame Grand Theft Auto IV, where he is the host of radio station IF 99 (International Funk 99, described as "playing a great selection of classics from West Africa, the US and elsewhere").
Here's a video of his popular hit, 'Bang, bang, bang'
Here's a shedule of his shows for 2009

Jamie Foxx Intuition listen here!!!
In my opinion, and I quote from the man Eric Marlon Joseph aka Jamie Foxx himself, "this is truly one of my best albums". . His third album Intuition was release December 16, 2008. If you're really into R&B, you gotta add this to your collection.
P.S., listen to the whole album. If you're just hanging out on the net, let the whole thing play. Again I say, LISTEN to the whole thing.
My personal favorites are Track #5 is my favorite: Blame It ft T pain ( it's a instant banger), Number 1 ft Lil Wayne is another good one, and Why. Track #9: Weekend Lover is definitely a song one can freak too ( only PG on this site, you have to listen to it to know what I mean). Mr. Foxx came back strong on this one, Ladies, Mr Foxx; Mr Foxx, Ladies.
You can listen to the whole album below; I know, you're welcome!
9ja TV shows: Super Story
What a wonder it is in this age where just about any show that you can think about is on the internet.
Sha, one of the best shows I can remember apart from Papa Ajasco and the rest of them is Super Story. It was one of those shows that really teaches life lessons and is entertaining at the same time. I'm sure that anyone that has watched Super Story can remember the ever popular name 'Suara' from the series
Here's a video

Phones, Coming Soon
What would happen if the Iphone and Palm Treo 800W had a baby?
The HTC Touch Diamond (unlocked) sure is one bad phone. With 2.8" VGA display, WiFi, Bluetooth, 4GB internal flash, 528 MHz CPU and 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, it sure is a worthy adversary against other phones in the market. I'm actually selling one of these bad boys and I took a look at it. You can practically record over 2 hours of high quality video with the 4GB of internal memory, not to mention that you can also use a micro SD card of up to 8 GB. Thank you, from the makers of the Google G1 Android ( aka HTC Dream)
HTC Rules!
Luxury phones; Motorola Aura
Cool looking phone, huh?The Motorola AURA is the latest (that I know of) luxury phone that was released in the last quarter of 2008. I think it is along the list of the Nokia Vertu. It has all the basic call features you can find on any other regular phone i.e. receive calls, make them, text messages, and oh, 2 GB of internal memory.
The AURA costs $2,000 and will start shipping on December 4th. In the meantime, Motorola has started accepting pre-orders.
Below are specs for the phone ( Yes, it's all very basic, but you gotta admit, the phone is nicely crafted in stainless steel and scratch resistant)
