The Bright Side

Eish, it's been too long since I've written. I've been trying to get my act together with gigs here in the city, and so I've been spending a lot of time on CraigsList and emailing folks about potential demo submissions, try-out dates, competitions and events. It's all a hustle, but it's completely worth it.
 
In other news, yours truly has finally been able to order his speakers! 2 Behringer B215 speakers and 1 Behringer EP2500 amp. They'll be in next week hopefully, and from there on, I am up for private hiring wherever there's a party! Be sure to call/e-mail because I'm always up for a gig.
 
Classes/work are moving along smoothly. I'm beginning to get a know so many people here in the city, and it's an amazing experience just sitting down and listening to their stories. The world has a wealth of information that nobody really has time to pay attention to. I've learned so much already just from trying to keep my mouth shut for a change and listen ... it does wonders.
 
Many, many ideas have been running through my head lately, which gives me a feeling a lot is going to be happening in the next few weeks. I will be updating this blog as things begin to unfold. I'll be going to Lafayette tonight to check up some business, but I'll be back with more updates soon!

Policy Brief 2: Why is Tanzania Poor?

(Policy Brief # 2 Submitted December 6th 2007, for Econ 346 - Economic Development, Lafayette College) Over the course of the 20th century, Tanzania experienced a multitude of social, political and economic changes. It still remains poor today. The WorldBank classifies a ‘low income country’ – such as Tanzania – as one with a Gross National Income per capita of $905 or less (WorldBank Data 2006). As of 1992, Tanzania ’s per capita income was recorded at $110, and average per capita consumption was $0.5 per day (OECD 2000). Several possible factors have been blamed for contributing to current hardships, such as Julius Nyerere’s failed attempts to collectivize agriculture between 1961 and 1975 through his socialist Ujamaa policies as the first president of Tanzania (Pratt 1980). While pre-independence plans “focused on the commercialization of agriculture and the creation of industries that could reduce the need for a variety of imports”, post-independence interventions by the Gov

Wake Up Routine

What's that unearthly sound? Turn off the alarm. Snoozing is dope. Shit, I have to get to work. What time is it? Let's have some water.  Let's stand outside for a minute. Send out today's assignments. How is my family? Has mum had her meds and breakfast? Where's my chai? Do I need a car today? Are there any fires burning? Who is that calling, I just got here! OK, let's start the day.
