My past few days have been really great.
Hanging out pretty much with my workmate, her boyfriend, and a couple of other friends.
Going to bars every other night towards the weekend. Not many people happening but had fun anyways.
Some of the things that I love doing is watching people.
As in see how different people behave and things like that.
I keep my eye open pretty much all the time so I can look around. People drinking, smoking, friends having a good time, lovers chilling…. You know?
With this loud music in the back ground. A lot of soft rock, and African music..
Bunch of white girls, and guys probably on vacation.
And then Ugandan boys trying to go after the white girls. Bar tenders, both young men and women.
At Iguana it was a little different though. Apparently Iguana is a noun for an American Lizard. I dont know of any Iguanas in my country.
There was this white bartender! Its rare to find a white bartender in a low developing country like Uganda. However many whites do own bars here. She was quite impressive. She doubles as the DJ and cashier and serving some drinks across the counter.
Smoked a stick of cigarette every10 minutes. Jolly indeed from her looks I could estimate how old she was but maybe late 20’s I would assume. And then some guy who was her assistant looked more like a boy friend to her, looked early 30s.
That’s when I started wondering whether cigarette smoking does not contribute to global warming. This last bit may sound like criticism. Sorry.
But this question is been crossing my mind from time to time. Everyone is coming up against global warming. A few people have come up against smoking. Pretty amazing.
Smoking is bad to be straight forward, we all know that.
And global warming is affecting us all. The sooner we realize we are miss using our beautiful countries or world, the better cause to me it feels like its getting late.
Remember: everyday counts!
We don’t want to make the world, weather, nature and life itself complicated.
So why not stand up now and get rid of things we can get rid of for a better of tomorrow?
Well, I know you will not get rid of your car though it emits a lot of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere which is not healthy since you need it pretty much.
But for God’s sake where does smoking take you? Nowhere!
Lets learn to live by the most important things in life.
My mom once told me: “cigarette smoking leaves you with nothing.”
I mean you pay for the cigarette, but in the end what do you get? Nothing at all!
You would say I am mean but trust me I am not. How much time do you take on smoking per day? Start from when you feel you need a smoke, look it up, get a much, smoke it.
Like in my course (computer science) we study a course unit called “Artificial Intelligence” in this course we get to learn many thing basically how robots perform their tasks. There is a part which measures time and in this one every action counts. So from that experience I have learnt to calculate my time not by minutes or second but by the number of actions I need to do putting the feeling itself in mind as time consuming.
Otherwise my past few days have been really great.
