Recollection of Yesterday: Meta fiction style

Note: I wrote and published this post at around 12:30-1am today, but just discovered it did not upload, so i re posted it. 


Hi people! Great to have you stop by to check this blog at this time, i appreciate. I know what i want to do right now, i want to write this post and upload, but i also know i dont exactly know how to put what is on my mind in order, but i will try. Now that reminds me of a course i took last semester called Studies in Fiction where i learnt the approach to Fictional writing called Metafiction. When you write a metafictional novel, you are at liberty to express your thoughts in the story, you can intrude and give your own opinion about the characters you are creating and situations, you can just tell your readers that you are stocked and dont know how to continue writing the story and so on. I like that approach and when i decide to write a novel someday, it will be metafiction. But for now, let me do Meta blogging, lol, if there is any such thing. Am simply saying lots of things on my mind, i dont know where to start from.
Okay! let me start this way. I have been thinking lately about the Plateau state Northern senatorial election slatted for later this year-not sure of the timing, but its going to be pretty soon-which will produce a new Senator that will occupy the vacant seat created by the death of  Late Senator Dantong in the upper chamber. When i heard of the untimely death of the Senator, i thought to myself unconsciously; that the next person with the highest vote after Senator Dantong, during the election that took him to the upper Chamber, will automatically become the senator to represent the people of the Northern zone. But that my thought was so wrong. It only shows i know close to nothing about our constitution, abi na politics now.
I realized this when i started seeing posters of candidates vying for that seat around town. The big surprise for me, is number of people actually vying for this position:  Col Dungs, GNS Pwajok, Chris Giwa, Pam Wash, Lumunba Adeh, Danladi Atu and a couple of others that i cant remember their names, right now, even though i have seen their posters. This race for power just kinda remains me of the vanity of life; once you are dead and gone, you become forgotten-especially when you don't create an impact in people's lives and the society- and life simply goes on.That is what is happening, Senetor Dantong is dead and gone, and life is simply going on...With the number of people vying for that position, it looks like it is going to be a long hard battle for these guys as they struggle to occupy the dead man's seat. *Irony*
Huh! i managed well i guess, that has been on my mind for days now, and i finally found a way to say it. The other thing on my mind, is this blog. In my post yesterday, i wrote about an idea i conceived that will take this blog to the next level, remember? and i said i wont share, you will only see the manifestation of the idea. Well! am glad to announce that you will be seeing it really soon. Just watch out. And i wrote about how someone complied to me that he cant post a comment on this blog because his comment will not upload whenever he tries? Well, I have fixed that problem, so i use this opportunity to encourage you to drop your comments here whenever you drop by this extra-ordinarish blog, let me know how am faring *winks* am curious.
Other things dey my mind oh but right now, i gotta catch some sleep, besides this post is becoming extra-ordinarily lengthy, so i will take a bow here and rest. See ya all later ko. One Love.
