Mr. Dave G

Mr. Dave G.

Dave, how goes it? A greeting Dave, you might recognize, and if you do know anything, and of Zimbabwe, and if not of White African culture too. Its been a long time, hasn't it? That, you might not be recognizing, and of whom is said writing here, but the very name of the University of Calgary it can be said, and of many a said Kenyan student there too, will in all help you realize, what the initials of A.W.G, are said to be all about. That it has been a long time, and that, there was a time, when they did in all greet you Dave, and by saying 'Sasa'?, and if not and of your probably too replying, 'Fit' that is. Since then, many a thing has changed, and they probably now do say, 'Mr. Gachuche, How do you do?', or something along such lines Dave.

The reason I am writing Dave, and Honestly said too, has to do, and with what can be said termed here, the African Condition. That the African Condition, could too be said, a rather interesting, and if not said novel too, manner, and of viewing Africa, and its said problems. That you would travel all the way to Canada, to the University of Calgary, and in Calgary, Alberta too, and in the name of some said Soul-searching too perhaps, and in the probable attempt, to better yourself, and not Africa truly either.  I say this, because, you would in all even go ahead, and study Geomatics Engineering, and, at that time probably, 1995, no one in Africa, did actually know what Geomatics was, but, it probably did make for all the Sense it can be said, for that too, Sense, is what the African Condition, is simply said to be all about. That for many, when attempting to solve Africa's said problems, the very said term of Paradigm, said something too Symbolic that is, does often pop up, or come up too perhaps, and in speak too of Africa, and as said having better Leaders to it, and in speak of the said future too, but that in all again, most don't truly know, what to think of Africa, and when does in all even come to speak, and of Sense in itself.

What though, does speak and of the African Condition, truly entail? It can be said, to in all even speak, and of what some do term the Human Condition, and if not of the Human, and as said too, in a said even, state of Paralysis in itself, and if not that said too crippled, or lame, and in regard, and to speak, and of what Vision in all, is said to be. That the Africa Condition, is now too said a Medical Condition, a Physical Condition, and if not a Spiritual Condition too, and that could too parallel, what, Autism, Aspergers Disease, Epilepsy, or even ADHD, are in all even said to be all about. That the African Condition, and as probably simply said Medical in its ways too, is believed something said treatable, and from the said perspective and in the very least, and from what ADHD, or ADD too, is simply said to be. A said even, lethargic condition, and whereby one does in all even lose interest, and in life in itself, and if not oneself too, and from a said even basic speak, and of what does speak of the African Soul, and as said described by some, a Dark or Black Soul too, and if not in speak, and of what the African Imagination is said to be all about, and in speak too and of the defining of the Self/self too that is.

How best to view Africa though? You would Dave, after your studies in Calgary, do what most believe was unexpected, or unbelievable too, and by returning to your said native Kenya, and in a said even, bid, to in all save Kenya's said dying or dwindling Elephant population, and in probable speak too, and of what does pass for Priority, and in Africa today too that is. That it probably does in all even tackle, the said view, and of Africa, and that does too speak and of the said even Wretched of the Earth, and if not in speak and Africa, and as said the Dark Continent too. That the latter, does too speak and of Africa in Ignorance, and of the former, the Wretched of the Earth, of Africa, and as said too now Impoverished that is.

Your said attempts, and in saving Kenya's said dwindling Elephant population, did probably pay off, but, surprisingly, and to some, or many too, for your are more popular, than you probably do believe you are Dave, and who did in all seek to follow in your footsteps, doubt and betrayal, creeping in their minds, and when you did in all do the unexpected, and in your apparent return, and to Canada, and in your said even finding, a said too perhaps, plum job too that is. How could this be? Something many who did probably too think, 'Yeah!, Kenya is cool you know', and in their said truly pondering now, their return to Kenya too, and in speak too now perhaps, and of what too, an African Worldview, is said to be all about. That the African Worldview for many, is too simply said British, and in speak too, and of what, African Militarism is said to be all about, and if not of the very manner in all, Africans, do perceive, what can too be termed, Metric, Grading, and if not Matriculation too that is. That in understanding all this better, the very belief that, the African Condition, does too speak and of the said search, and for the said Primordial African too, and if not of the very name of Cheops, or said Khufu too, and in speak and of the said search too, and for the African Soul in itself, and of Christianity in Africa today, and if not of the African Self/self too, and of the said origins, and of what some do term, an African Identity, and as often said equated, and to speak too of the very term of Vassal, and if not of Slave too that is. That for many another person, said African, the African Condition, now too said equated, and to speak and of the attempt to in all even, define Africa, and in speak of Appraisal, Praise, and if not of Adjudgment too, and if in speak too and of African Identity, and as simply said to speak too of the Martyr that is. For others, the African Condition, now said too equated in all, and to speak of the African Hero, and if not of African definitions, and of Confidence, Esteem, and if not Laudability too that is.

That the African Condition, does in all even differ, and from speak and of what too, African Identity, is said to be, and in speak too and of most of the Contents of this Blog, for the latter, African Identity, is too simply said to speak of Africa, and in Name in itself too, and if not of many a slur too it all too that is. That the African Condition, can too be said to speak, and of what African Taste in itself, is said to be [and if not of Africa, and as often said presumed, and as said having to it, no said real, Material culture that is]. That in speak and of Africa and in Name Dave, and if not of African Identity too, speak now and of what African Blood is said to be, of African Genius or Gene too, and if not of African Relations, African Organization, or even of what African Health in itself, is too said to be. That in speak of the African Condition on the otherhand, and of a said African Taste too, speak too even, and of what does constitute and for Language in Africa, ancient and modern, and as said even defining Africa in all, and in speak too of Style, Cool and even Heat probably (and of Egypt too, and as said now perceived and from speak of Texture, Aestheticism, and if not Cosmetology too), and if not in further speak too, and of what, It, is said to be, and as probably said even defining African speech, and in speak of the Extricate, and if not of the Intricate too that is.

That what too can be said Dave, is that, the African Condition, and as said too equated, and to the attempt in all, to define, a said even authentic/genuine African Taste, now does too speak of Religion in itself, Worldwide too, and as said even perceived and from speak and of what Taste is said to be, and if not in speak too of God, Man, and of Angels too, but in speak of Africa now, the said problematic stance, and of defining African Taste, and as probably said too, and to speak of, and of what even Ori, Obi and if not Oriki too, are in all even said to be. That the African Condition, does too have a said even Time Component to it all, and that is too said, to speak, and of what the African Past, is said to be all about, and if not of Africa, and in Opinion/Belief too, and in said comparison, and to speak of African Identity, and of Africa in Name too, and of what African History in itself, is said to be, and if not of the very said term, Yoruba too, and of Imoye (Link) too that is. In said finality too Dave, the African Condition, said too to speak, and of the very term of Heritage that is, and if not of Celebration in itself, for speak of African Identity, and of Africa in Name too, speak now and of the African Memory in itself, and if not as said too bordering along speak of Sense too that is, and of what they do term African Ancestor Worship, African Ancestor Veneration, and if not of what an African Consciousness, and of the Egungun, is too said to be all about.

In all Dave, the African Condition, probably said even having a Metaphysical side to it all, and that does too speak and of many a said even Exegesis, and as said to speak to Alchemy in itself too, and of what spirit and matter, are in all even said to be, or of what, light and matter, are in all even said to be all about, and in said comparison and to speak and of African Identity, and of this very Blog too, and of Africa in Name too that is, and of what many a said Theorem/Theory, Model or Abstract too, are in all even said all about, and in speak too of Africa, and as often said too perceived, and in speak of Bondage, Slavery or Imprisonment too, and if not of, the Immaterial (Link) in itself that is.

In all, the African Condition, probably said best perceived, and as said even a better manner in all, and of tackling, or defining too, Africa's said problems that is, and in said comparison, and to the said defining of African Identity in itself, and as said too Construct, and if not in dealing, and with the often said even, Negative Image, and that does too speak, and of Africa in Name that is.

Surrealism

Surrealism.

This entry, does have to do, and with the very manner in all, those in Kenya, and if not in Africa truly, do perceive themselves that is. That it is often believed that, Succeeding, and in a said African Context, does truly speak and of what Education is said to be, for while Education, and as it is known today, can too truly be said American, Africa, does in all even continue to function, and if not evolve too, and in a manner in all, and that does too speak, and of what Awareness in itself, is said to be [that Awareness now, is now too simply said Egyptian that is].

In having said the above though, is to now too, claim that, Africa, and as often believed said today, Independent in its ways, does in all even find itself, truly said suffering, and from the said Condition, and of Co-Dependence/Dependency, and in speak too now, and of what does pass for the Experience, and in life today too. That Africa, or Africans too, are to this very day, simply said dependent, and on the World outside Africa that is, and in the attempt, to gain many a said Idea for instance, and on how best to live out life, and if not of what too does pass for Success in itself, and if not of truly, and of what the Future in all, is believed said to hold.

In saying that, many an African, does still very much turn to Europe, and in the name of what some do term Colo-Mentality ('Colonial Mentality'), and in regard and to what too was said in the above paragraph, is to now too speak, and of the very manner in all, most outside Africa, do in all even continue, to seek, or want, and to in all separate themselves, and from Africa, and with it all even said to speak too of the Middle East, or of Oman too, and if not Brazil, and in the attempt to in all, to very much present a said Civil Image of themselves, and to the rest of the World, and if not in speak and of what they do term the World Stage that is.

As a result, one does in all even find alot of the World, outside Africa too, simply said engaged, and in talk and of what does pass for Supremacy, Hegemony, Solidarity etc., and with it all too, often believed said to speak, and of the segregating, and isolating, and of Africans, and Africa, and in regard and to speak too, and of Issues/Matters in all, and that do speak too of the World in itself, and of its said Future too that is.

In helping give those in Africa, a said here, proper Perspective on all this, is to now equate Intelligence, and in the said Western World that is, and with speak too, and of what Psycho-Cybernetics is said to be, and if not in speak truly perhaps, and of what a Torpedo, or a Guided-Missile too, is said to be, and in regards and to speak of Intelligence that is. In saying that, Africa does still very much hold promise to it, is to now equate Intelligence and in Africa, and despite what one might hear from many a UN Statistic, and with speak too now and of what Marginalization, the Marginal, or the Marginal Error too, is said to be. That unknown to most Africans, Asia (outside Japan), the Middle East too, and if not in speak of Australia in itself, have in all built said Modern societies that is, today, and as said too based around speak, and of what Trial-and-Error, (and if not of the Hit-and-Miss), are in all even said to be [that Australian Research, and of Australia and as said even a Research oriented Country that is, is too believed said to have a basis to all this, and on speak too and of what Trial-and-Error are said to be].

In having said the above though, is to now present Reality, and as it truly is, and for those in Africa. That Europe, does continue to maintain, or hold, or have to it too, a said even strangle-hold, and on Africa, and in regards and to speak, and of what the Future, African, and if not Reality too, African, are both said to be. That Reality (Link), is said many a thing, but from the said European perspective, can now too, be said perceived in all, and from speak, and of what Space-Time Reality, is simply said to be. That African Identity, vis-a-vis and to that said European, and in speak of Success too, does today, very much still find itself, defined, and from speak too, and of what Space-Time Reality, is said to be, for Africans today in all, do in all even imagine Space, and if not Time, and in a said similar manner in all, and if not fashion too, and to that which does speak of Europe, and of the European Imagination too that is.

That what in all, is Space, said to be? From a said European perspective, speak now, and in said regard too and to speak and of Africans that is, now simply said having to do, Space that is, and with our said definitions, and if not perceptions too, and of Sensitivity in itself that is [that Europeans, can today, very much still be said, insensitive, and to the African that is]. In speak of Time though, speak now, and of what Perception is said to be, for European Concepts of Time, do in all even simply describe Africa, and to this very day, and as always having been, what they do term, 'the Dark Continent'.

In finishing up on all this though, is to now claim that, there are those in Africa, whom or who might in all be very well said, interested, and in now forfeiting any said promise for instance, Africa, is believed said to possess, have or carry to it, and in favour, and of truly settling, and in the said Western World that is. For those who do harbour such ambition, is to now too say that, those simply said African, and in the Western World too, will find it a difficulty, and in defining themselves, and in speak of Space, and Time too (and if not Space-Time Reality in itself), and such that, what they do in all even call Surrealism, and as said an Artform too, now does attempt to present to one, Western History, and in the more recent times too, and in a Space-Time Reality format, and such that, it all does provide for early warnings, and in regard, and to those too, who would want to simply make it and in the Western World that is [i.e. what Western perceptions or definitions and of Space-Time Reality, are in all said to be]. In explaining Surrealism to one, is to now too only speak, and of names and such as those of Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Edouard Manet etc., but in many a way too, speak now, and of famed or celebrated American Actor, Al Pacino, and whose acting is believed said truly based on speak and of Surrealism in itself, and such that, it too can be said, to have in all come to have him defined, or said too, 'a Man of the Times' that is. In all, what we are trying to say here is that, most in Africa, don't simply understand the ways of the Western World, and do in all even approach speak of the Western World, and from speak too of Co-operation, and if not Mutualism in itself too, and in their now said failing to realize, Westerners in all, most of them, do not in all even perceive Africans, and from speak of Custom and Dress for instance, but from speak now, and of said Space-Time Realities that is, and such that, many an African, are yet to realize, that most Westerners, do not in all simply care, and in knowing, anything about Africa that is.
