Off to calmer waters

September 17, 2009. My last post.

Is it a coincidence that I go back to blogging when it is again soon September two years later? I am in fact doing this earlier than I should. I was aiming to fully go back to blogging in September of this year.

I actually started blogging back in 2005 while in Kenya but on a different platform. It was a time when blogging was in its early stages and bloggers were considered to have massive time on their hands with nothing better to do but be anti-social by, yes, blogging. I do have a feeling that some who has never kept a blog still think so up to today.

How does September figure in all these? It is again time to go.

Why the silence? Two years after all is a long time. I have one simple rule in blogging that I have not as of yet broken. To not put my host country in a negative light. And with that, I effectively gagged myself. The cliche: 'If you don't have anything good to say, better not say anything at all' surely applied this time.

It pains me to break that rule but I somehow feel compelled to do so. I can probably make a half-ass attempt by merely providing links to other blogs and different publications that has already said what has to be said. Afterall, I couldn't have said it any better myself.

The state of affairs in this country is so sad, just so, so sad.
