If Bob Visited
I've spent 20 mins wondering & day dreaming about some "ifs". These are important & semi-important 'ifs' and "what ifs" concerning life, career, some choices I have as well as choices I' d like to have. "Ifs" about where I'd like to travel in the next few months, where I'd like to live starting next spring, 'ifs' about keeping some friends and 'ifs' about completely shutting out some used-to-be-friends.I've considered 'ifs' about signing new contracts or sending them back unsigned & wondering 'if' I would do the same thing 'if' I was 21 again & doing the same things I love now. 'Ifs' about welcoming some people into my life & 'if' I'd still love them the same way when we get old...'if' I'll get old. There are 'ifs' about spending more time with family & closest friends & 'if' I should let them know that I could surprise them with a knock on that familiar home door. I can't deny some 'ifs' and 'what ifs' to do with finally turning some hobbies into breadearners and 'if' I'd be fully content with the decisions. Also, 'if' she a.k.t.u.a.l.l.y knows me like she said she does?
One biiig 'if' I've enjoyed wondering about is..."What if" I was to swing open the doors to my Gallery today, this week or this month and could invite any one or two persons to officially open it, who would I gladly have come do the honours & why?
'If' I could, I would invite the Honorable Robert Nesta Marley & my kid sis Tuma (love ya babe!). But again, 'what if' they were to choose to stand next to a pic of their choice as they gave a brief speech & they both chose the dual-personality framed pic of my parents' first born kid? "What if"?..and only "if"?
If you could invite any one or two people to do the honours for you, for anything, who would they be...?

Awww, we having too many 'Ifs' now, aren't we akiey? So what other 'ifs' did you not reveal in the post? Have g*n will travel, ever heard that? Good!
Wonderful pic! I gasped to catch a breath-Great work akiey,great!
Please share: Why Bob and why kid sis to open the Gallery? Any special reason we should know?
I forgot----I would wish for my mom and Alice Walker to officially open my little business of a consulating firm when I am ready:))
the old folks are normally referred to as one package thus the other slot has to be filled by the one who keeps on wanting to avoid the inevitable .so those are the two who I would invite to open my ventures when that day comes.
if Bob visited I would ask him to tell damian to lay off re-doing his hits . if he cant lay his hands off then he should churn another release similar to chant down babylon ....:-)
# 1 how have you been? Waoh came to see what u do best with the pics ( i like it will u teach small siz one day? woiye) then i found a very tight blog tooo..
Lemmi ask like D why Marley and ur small siz/ give it to us....
hmmm let me think of that for a while...thinkin...thinkin...hmmm?
LOL...you didn't a.k.t.u.a.l.l.y go there with me, did ya now?? You're in some deep dudu A.k.i.e.y...you know that, right??
Hmm...like Nick above, I'm thinking...shortlisting them to two is a difficult one...will be right back!
That's a lovely photo of Bob Marley, akiey.
Two people I would have do the honours:
1. My wonderful, incredible, amazing sister Wanjiru
2. Chewetel Ejiofor who I currently have a massive crush on (oh yes, we 'oldies' still have crushes too:))
ditto mshairi, that is a very nice pic of Bob Marley, and LOL at maitha!!
to do honours - hmmm, my friend Irene (she is blogless lakini i've been campaigning for her to get one)well, there are too many contenders for the 2nd slot.
That was really good writing! I'll have to really think about this more.
Hi big bro - how are you keeping?
I have a headache so my vision is a bit blurred but what are those two eyes (?) on your chest and right shoulder? Are they eyes? Whose eyes? At first I thought it was a face or something, but now squinting isnt helping, so do tell! As usual, amazing photography there *clap clap*
Those 'If's are too many - I am at a loss - I too have loads but right now I am blank (yes, headache)
Two people: Le man for the proud/admiring look he always has on his face for every tiny thing I do!
Can I have loads more people for the second - and then you can join them :)
@Mshairi - LOL I think he is gorgeous too!
Why not go right ahead and ask the Big Boss to attend the event? Then everyone else is silenced. But truly? My parents (makes one person right?) and my sister
Diane,Hehe, "Have gun will travel" & I say: "Have blog will reveal",lol! What's a life without ifs?
I guess mine are just an ordinary, simple guys' ifs but I sure need to take care of some of them urgently(before '06 starts)
Thanks about the pic. It's a montage I've thought about for about 2 weeks, glad I did it finally.
Bob: FOr the great inspiration he is & for the sheer depth of his wisdom.
Tuma: Love her too much not to give her a chance to open the Gallery for me, plus she's destined for great things, only if she knew it:)
-I think I know why you'd pick your mom(smile), please tell more about Alice Walker, I can only guess why...
maitha, I like your approach of balancing the older, wiser & experienced generation with the younger,still learning/searching youth.
Any 2 persons in particular we should know about? Your day will surely come & I bet it will be worth it.
-Like AfroM. below am LOL! about Damian's re-doing Bob's music. Although am a big fan I too agree with you & I hope he realizes
he still can be "Junior Gong" without having to step into "Tuff Gong"'s shoes.
Lil Sis Nakeel, Have been fine dada mdogo:) Caught some nice movies this weekend. Thanks for your kind words about the pic & the blog and you know you're welcome 24-7. Infact feel free to play Kalungu at Big Bros,lol!
About Bob & kid sis...? check response to D above:)...now where's the icecream Lil Sis?
Nick,...I know you're busy celebrating your 1st Blogversary but we'll be here waiting for your input,
Btw, which venture would yours be....besides our gold & platinum grill fixing bizna?:))!
(a)K.i.d.a.d.a, U know I had to take you there. You obviously know me very well & you r.e.m.e.m.b.e.r stuff I've forgotten so be nice
& help me out of this dudu you got me into,lol!
Go ahead, s.h.o.r.t.l.i.s.t them & even if there's more than two, U know you're welcome to share your p.r.e.f.e.r.r.e.d persons.
The c.o.m.m.e.n.t box will r.e.m.a.i.n open for you:)
.Part 2 WOw,some unique name you go there! I couldn't agree more on Che Guevara, am a big follower too & yes indeed "Hasta La Victoria Simpre"
Did you get to watch "Motorcycle Diaries"? a documovie on The Che? It starred one of the guys from "Y tu Mama Tambien"
-Rachel Weisz, one very hott guest she will be...talented actress as well. Please share why these two?
mshairi-You'll remain My Favourite Wordsmith:)), Gracias about the Pic. I just couldn't resist working on it & am happy you find it appealing:).
I most definitely understand your preference for the wonderful.
-Wanjiru. Trust me I'm praying that happens & very soon too:)
-Chewetel Ejiofor....I can't blame you for having a mega-crash on him. I really liked how he brought his character to life in Amistad.
Err..."oldies" kitu gani? You've been drinking in the fountain of youth, so, youthful & full of life you'll remain:)
Afromusing, Many thanks on the pic. You for one knows am a big fan of Tuff Gong so he would most definately have been my number one choice.
About time you got your friend Irene to join the blogsphere to share her wonderous ideas with the rest of us. For 2nd spot, like Nick & K.i.d.a.d.a, you too have enough room to come back & drop names:)
Shavar, Am glad you stopped by fellow, hardworking Flickrati:) U know my comment box is open 24-7 so stop by with your choices when all decided.
Guess! my fav blogtrotter:), hope you're feeling much better now & had a restful weekend? Am keeping well & trying to crack a smile every chance I get:))
Sorry for the headache...tsk tsk, it's obviously playing tricks on your vision. Those two 'things' on chest & shoulders are a black & silver pendant at the end of the neck chain. You made me look at them differently too,lol! MOb thanks about the pic & *clap, clap* to you too for the effort you've been putting on your photo edits!
-You choices....mmmhmm, Le Man should be very proud to know about this. Am sure that will put a smile on his face, warm enough to clear that nagging headache G!
-2nds...yes, line them up, got loads of space here, and....d-did...d-did you say I can join them to do the honours Chez Guess? Daaaarn, am so excited I may go without sleep! Seriously, I wouldn't say no to that so holler when you're ready,ok?
Uaridi, Am impressed by your choice of the Big Boss. Sure, none can even come close to topping His abilities. Yep, well thought, parents do wualify as one.
Like Mshairi's choice, I believe I understand your preference for your sis. I won't stop with the prayers:)
Perfect choices Uaridi!
at risk of soundin shallow..ive always wante to open the ultimate video library...
but am still thinkin...thinkin...but u are right the celebrations are takin up too much of my time :->
Thanks for the prayers mate. Friends like you are rare indeed:)
I was just browsing the net and happen to come across your blog. Nice to see decent conversation from fellow Kenyans. Keep on the good work.

Wassup A.k.i.e.y,
Alright.I've given it some thought and I'm afraid, I found it difficult coming up with just two people...ce n'est pas possible!
a)My immediate family - which is just a handful and I love them to bits.We're proud of each other and they R.O.C.K!!
b)Nelson Mandela and his beautiful wife Graca Michel - need I say more about this couple?
That's my list of two people...LOL!But rephrasing it..yeah...two groups of people.
What do you think A.k.i.e.y?
NB: And before I forget, where did you put my ***censored***???
Sema Bro!! Late here lakini you know that Blue sent snipers so Im lying low like an antelope/envelope...
Speaking of Blue, he must be feeling kiwaru that Mshairi has a crush on someone else... I always suspected he was bila stamina hence the waned interest... LOLOLOL

Like Gxxx, great photos bro, great photos!!!!!
Thanks for reminding me about that song. I am going to listen to it TODAY.
Couch'tato/Nick, Sema Bro, am sure that ultimate video library venture will take off with a storm! Knowing your addiction for movies I imagine you'll have a collection that put puts both Hollywood & Bollywood to shame.
So...since you do a movie blog will you also have a "Nick's Selection" corner in the video lib?
- Feel free to come give your take on who'd open the bizna.
Uaridi, You're welcome & you're very kind. Thanks for making my day:)
