“Hanzi road haichafambike, inokwadza ma Shocks” (The road is
in a bad state, it wears out shock absorbers) this is the sad truth most
Zimbabweans who drive or are driven live with on a daily basis, but we don’t
stop driving! Plot Holes in my blog!
It’s been long since my last post, 66 days and counting, it’s got me wondering
what really these “holes” in my blog are? If this blog is about personal
experience and thought how can there be no plot in my story? Maybe it’s time, it does take a while to patch
a road, it’s been almost six months since repairs started on our national highways,
the site of a Group Five vehicle on duty has become the norm of everyday road travel. But who am I kidding, I’ve had a lot of time
on my hands, most I just killed along with the rest of the 50 000+ undergrads
in Zimbabwe who spend 4 years attaining a mediocre degree (NUST and UZ School
of Medical Sciences students excluded ß
vana vanodzidza avo!K). Maybe it’s the failure to commit to a journey
of ten thousand miles (hours), road “dzemu Zimbabwe dzakareba” (The roads in
Zimbabwe are very long), imagine Zinara CEO or PR saying that in Cabinet or on
live televion “Ehhh, Takashaya pekutangira” (We didn’t know where to start)K, I can so picture the
public outcry. Alas! a clue to what it
is that got me back on the creative wagon, I have a friend I’d like to call public,
he had read a bit of my work and his personal advice to me was more of an
outcry! I once blamed my lack of posts on Writers block, if such a thing
exists, like the great creative genius Yeezus said himself “I had treasures in
my mind, but couldn’t open up my own vault” the key point in the analogy being there’s
a vault of raw creative talent that can be accessedÏ+ÑÐ, if un-locked with the
right key that is. Given that most blogs that actively exist with constant
readership are daily blogs, it has been long since my last post #Its_been_long_since_my_last_confession#
that sounds like a good title for a blog post J
AmenV!
I vent to you the cyber public in this confession box that is my blog. Hoping the Lord of Creativity (creation) will
forgive me my sins. I’m done wasting
this great God given talent, the Prodigal son returns! AmenV again, this time
round, I come bearing a much deeper message that goes beyond clever Rhymes and
honest truths (I’m doing all my Hail Mary’s). It’s the message of truth that is
brutally honest but greatly entertaining at the same time, much like a
dominatrix *sinister laugh* because lately society has been a Verryy Badd Boyy!
*Crack of the whip*. It’s time to get
some people in check, Being the Writer rebel that I am, I will not tire,
flicking the Elephant with my rubber band, *Terrible analogy*, now u think my
blog is a worthless piece of HTML thread that google (www.thelabrys.blogspot.com)
should never have given to meL,
maybe you are right. Don’t worry, with
this tiny rubber band I will hit this elephant where it hurts most (Scrotum)
until it pays attention. *Narrative
juncture* “EXTRA EXTRA! Read all about it! Big Five workers repairing the road
near Hwange Attacked by angry elephant! #Amazing_headline# *as if*. But on a serious note though, if you are
somewhere out there on some Zimbabwean campus, doing “zvinhu zvinemusoro” (according
to your parents) while letting your talent lay waste, it’s time to call in the
road works department. It costs a lot of
money to repair a road, you will need to invest a lot of time and money into
your dream ‘You
will need to plan ahead creating an effective course of action “Dual
carriageway A1 highway by 2015, Asphalt from Cape to Cairo a reality!”
hopefully the contractor you choose to employ will realize that having semi-skilled
workers fill potholes with gravel is not a long term solution, or a credible
solution for that matter, (just wait till the rain hits your progressÛ). Time is the one asset you cannot buy back6, so begin your great
task of repairing your “Talent Highway” now rather than later. Roll up your sleeves, pull out your shovel and
bucket of bitumen and let us begin to patch the PotHole’s in our Blogs! demo. o_O©
