Armchair World Cup 2022 Reporter - the Musings of Moko Bi

“So, once again the World Cup is here! And probably, as usual, there are so many emotions flaring around. Good, Bad and Ugly. BUT the one constant is, football will be played, goals will be scored and a winner will be crowned. I love seeing supporters clad with national colours, while dripping with pride and chanting what only they can truly interpret. Oh by the way, It fascinates me, when I see a football player commit an obvious foul, and the referee whistles for the foul, then the offender turns around in shock - WHAT? ME? WHEN? HOW? - I love the theater in football. I guess the World Cup presents the biggest stage. Yes, I am in my armchair, and no, I am not a reporter. BUT I will watch, shout, cheer, do ‘against’ - have highs and lows and ride the Supporter’s emotional roller-coaster all the way to conclusion. In the end, my team will probably not win the World Cup this year, but that’s what the next World Cup is for…! Which reminds me, the 2010 World Cup was pure heart break for me - but that’s a whole other Muse!” - Moko Bi

It takes time… and it’s been slow - the Musings of Moko Bi

The human timescale is infinitesimal in comparison to continental and planetary timelines. They say Africa is moving towards Europe, at a rate - which is imperceptible to human senses - of 2cm a year. Simultaneously towards the east, Africa is also splitting up at the great Rift Valley. Non of these geological activities will conclude for millions of years... with no witnesses from today’s human inhabitants of the planet. In the grand time and activity scales of this rock we call earth, millions of years is nothing but a blip. AND It sure does make me feel insignificant and never mind my irrational feeling of FOMO - fear of missing out.

Up and down…peaks and valleys - the Musings of Moko Bi

I have done it! One thought at a time, one breath after the next, one foot in front of the other, and by my hands, I took out one, then another… and the dog house is no more. A huge physical and mental victory for me and a nice spot of space to setup a composting station. So basically, feel the fear and do it anyway, while trusting the science - as much as possible.

What makes lazy? - the Musings of Moko Bi

So how do I end up overcoming ‘laziness’? Well, I simply walk out of it. Well, first I have to decide if the task at hand is worth all the anguish that I feel - which is at best, a subjective decision making process - if the juice is not worth the squeeze - I simply stew in my laziness and run out the clock with inaction. On the flip, if it’s something that must be done, then I have to figure out how to grin and bear - I usually break up the task into very little bits, essentially making each task menial. This helps to block out the big picture which typically has the complexity and murkiness that triggers the anguish that I feel.
