This Sallah celebration was unlike any other i could ever remember;it was slow,dull,sunny and bleak to say the least.I couldnt sleep after the morning prayers and i had no appetite for the first time.I barely had visitors as everyone i called was out there somewhere sharing a similar story.I guess growing up has something to do with this.The ironic thing was that i had my pockets full but nowhere to go and spend the money.I stayed indoors all through with my denims and a tee shirt which i only changed whenever it was time to say my prayers at the mosque.
One thing i actually liked this Sallah was that for the first time in my life i slaughtered a ram all by myself.Atleast the experience is noteworthy and something i surely will never forget.Even the meat didnt taste the usual delicious way it always had.Before i knew it,the long day was spent under a mango tree gisting with the family while watching the butchers do their thing.I left the place at a few minutes to six,performed my ablution and went to the mosque.Next,i went into the house to see mum,have dinner and say goodnight.I was exhausted from doing nothing but sitting and talking.I went off to bed early,had a short chat session and dozed off as soon as my head hit the pillow.Some Sallah i had this November.

When music works in-sync with art,it gives rise to an ultimate dual performance that the stage itself has never ever seen even on the big screen:"DoubLe TeaM"

I am a sucker for the rock genre of music.I acquired a taste for it 9years ago,and since then i couldnt escape Electric city (life inside an electric guitar).Punk is my choice,but am down with alternative,gothic,hard and soft aspects too.As long as it is rock,it'll work.
Mad abouT MAD
MAD magazines have been my inspirational favorite since the beginning of time.I am a huge,avid hoarder who owns a library of this jocular magazine.Its a highly recommended collector's item and treasure trove.And its fully worth it,so dont live your life without it ;)
RocKaMaNia
My arsenal of rock cds is still growing by the day and i dont see them stopping until they tile my entire floor,paper my four walls,make my bed sheets and curtains,then finally board the ceiling :)

it was a genius idea blending black and white together again.Here my sneakers and this rockstar tee by the band LINKIN PARK was shot in profile view.
CoNveRsaTioN
This is one of my selected favorite snapshots this year.Its a bird's eye view of me and a bunch of kids during sandplay who happened to wear different shades of a shoe that totally rocks my world:Converse Allstars sneakers which is where this image title spawned from."CoNveRsaTioN" a derivative of the shoe's label name.And funny enough,our feet actually look like they're having a conversation.lol They're quite classic as well as trendy,comfy,durable and cool.It was a coincidence very rare,that's why i labelled it a favorite here and thought of posting it to share.
ALoNg caMe a HeRo
For every villain,there's a hero.For every ounce of pain,there's a chance for pleasure deep down below.The emblazoned "S" on my chest makes this shirt some sort of sacred bulletproof vest.It may not glow,but it tends to keep me in stealth mode starting from up above my nose and extending down to my toes.Yet still,am not superhuman.....am just Superman.
Hues oF BLue
Once upon a time,we wore reflections of identical blues.I was born to see blue skies above my head and touch blue waves on the water bed.This is my color,my flavor and my armor.Whether ultramarine,cyan or navy,its always cool to do blue.

Am not your average ordinary everyday shutterbug,but i could manage to capture a snapshot of myself from the top via amazing lens curves.

The only way to truly behold what you're supposed to see in absolute reality is to view it in shades and tints without color prints.
