In Transition

Okay so I finally made it to the Minneapolis airport without forgetting too many things. I was supposed to clean out my room, clean the house take out the trash and put everything of mine in storage, well I did everything except cleaning the house, pretty sure nasir my roomate is going to be livid but hey, he can't yell at me for another 6 months about it so all's well.
I was so proud of myself for thinking that i didn't forget anything this time but as soon as i got on the plance i realized, no ipod and no sunglasses and i could live without the ipod but sunglasses, it was depressing, but i somehow managed to get over it.
First time flying British Airways over the Atlantic, i must say its not bad at all, i got 3 seats all to myself and one of the hostesses promised me that she wouldn't let anyone come sit in the 2 empty seats beside me. I got muslim food a.k.a vegetarian but i was really impressed by the service. Got to see the 'Prestige', wanted to see it for a while but never did so that was good. I can't get a hang of this British lingo yet, the hostesses would be walking up and down saying 'any rubbish, any rubbish please' and i'm thinking how the hell can you say rubbish and please in the same sentence. Anyways, got the Special Search AGAIN at minnepolis, can't quite figure out how i'm always the one who is randomly chosen by the computer.
Well i'm sitting at Heathrow waiting to board the flight to Nairobi, can't wait for my African Safari to begin.

Adois.

Aaaghaaz - the beginning

So finally this blog thing begins, the thought that whatever i'm writing has the potential of being read by other people online is kinda scary. I mean so far I always thought I make the most sense in the world to me, i can't understand why people can't see that my point of view, which is almost always infalible, anways, well now i've lost my train of thought, okay i remember. So today finally I got the stupid transit visa to England, I had to pay 72 dollars just so that I sit my ass down on the Royal airport for 8 hours, or maybe 6, you know how many kids in kenya can be fed in 72 dollars, I don't even know but i will in a week, the flight is in a week and I'm pretty pumped. Oh! I finally got my Laptop as well, its pretty sweet, wasted the past 3 hours going over things, trying to figure them out with looking at the manual. I'm not crazy, its just a thing with us Engineers, we don't like to look at manuals. Waiting on the new camera that I ordered and I think I'll be all set to say goodbye to Minnesota, my home away from home for the past 7 years now.
