Nyerology thinks the most difficult age for any man should be between 24 and 29 years, the pressure to be something, to be someone is so immense. When you look around you everyone seems to be doing something for themselves, people seem to be living a life you only dream of. You have applied for jobs and the results have been more disappointing than Besigye's shot at Presidency.
Sadly this is the age when most guys lose it, the age when if not careful one is consumed by alcohol or drugs, because the disappointments become too much and you find alternative ways to face reality.
Worse is when a few people you studied with have been lucky enough to land jobs, soon your circle of friends gets thinner – mostly they don’t even cut you out but you be real with yourself and cut yourself off. I mean what you will do when you are in a WhatsApp group of friends discussing about last week’s trip in Zanzibar and planning another road trip to Kigali while you are not sure of what your next meal would be? Most times you follow the conversation silently, all alone like a cross on the grave. Soon you realize this is no longer your kind of crowd because the more you keep around the more the pressure to be something takes a toll on you. You know when stories about house parties come up and you act deaf because you don’t know where an extra 5 guys would fit in your house. Have you ever sat in a group of people discussing the new iPhone on the market or how British Airways offers shit services and you can feel your heart whisper to you “ boss this is chest pain hour, can we just go and find a group that talks about boda boda(motorcyclists) “. But you sit there as these people are lost in their lifestyle conversations, you are like a secretary taking minutes in meeting. You are totally forgotten like one of a woman’s breasts during foreplay. Once in a while one of the friends will turn and ask if you need another drink and you wonder if you should just say No and head home, but head home to what? So you grudgingly drop in the “I will have just one last one “lie.
But after a few years of job hunting, you are now ready to take anything even if is to smell a rich man’s farts as long as it pays , so you end up as an office messenger in one blue chip company in town. To imagine that 3 years of studying and getting a degree is now reduced to picking and dropping off letters and if you are not doing that , you are being sent for cheap lunch by the employees when they are broke and they can’t order with hello food. This is when conversations about where people schooled start, you go silent for it’s no longer of any use to say you also reached University, it doesn’t matter – you have resorted to surviving.
Once in while you will bump into your now well to do classmates they would offer you lunch, but not even eating the meals at caffesserie will make you feel better about yourself, because in your mind you wish instead they would give you the 30k and you sort your meals for the next 5 days. As it is the norm you will have photos taken, and uploaded on Facebook, but always it’s your face that would look odd one out – not even the best filters can hide a face which has borne the city dust and survives on boiled beans.
The worst mistake you can do during this period is to try and date – there is nothing that a person going through such times can offer in terms of love. How are you going to do evening romantic walks when you are tired from walking delivering letters in offices around town? What are you going to tell your lady when she says she wants to go for Nile Gold Jazz Safari? That your financial religion doesn’t allow it or what? This is the age when you sit back and watch as the ladies you would want to date are dating or getting married to guys 10 years older than you. And you can’t blame them – it’s only that your life seems to be progressing slower than their goals in life. Most of the ladies you meet during this period, if you are lucky will be patient with you till you hit 28, and if by then your life is still in disarray like Chelsea’s performance in the English Premier League then my friend be prepared for a walk out.
But then this is the age when you learn a lot of about life, if you can hack through this stage of life the only hard moment in your life would be when you lose your parents- that’s if you are still lucky enough to have them. This stage teaches you a lot about perseverance, about appreciating the small wins you have each day, it teaches you something about friendship, love, career growth and personal responsibility .This is always your rise or fall moment depending on the choices you make. How you live your life in the 30’s is determined by how you handled your life in this phase.
That's my thought, you too can have yours.
Thanks,
Nyerology.

The World people!
I ask you “THE WORLD PEOPLE”, Will you Rebuild to LIVE or
once again to Crumble and Decay?
At this juncture, i feel life is becoming too short,
and my worries is if my mind message of life don't
reach the people
of this world in time.
The extreme weather or lack thereof, around the
globe has become relentless.
We have severe droughts in over 50% of world,
around 37% severe precipitation with rain, snow,
or hail overwhelming the tributaries,
and storms of all elements at an all time high
we need
hero’s to step up. Know my works and learn more at www.nyerology.blogspot.com

5th May-Permaculture Day!!
With great desire plus love Very
Edible Gardens Uganda-VEGU has towards seeing communities with great and enough
fruits, VEGU decided on the “Permaculture day” to go out and give a green offer
which was planting a few fruit trees.
So 5th May being Permaculture
Day, this is what VEGU did as a way of making their Permaculture day too more
special and great. We suggested giving this day’s green offer to somebody and our
dearest mum-Mrs.Sserwanga Ritah our former Kiwanga Home Administrator. And we
were to hold it at Namugongo where she lives. After suggesting what to be done and
to whom it should be offered, VEGU had to hear from her about the suggestion
that we had came up with.
Our dearest mum was so excited with
VEGU’s suggestion and welcomed VEGU while saying, “She was always waiting for
such a day when his boys-the Permaculturist would share some permaculture implementation/design
or ideas with her”.
Here VEGU go, 0n 5th early in the
morning; Charles, Sharon, Brian, Beth gathered at Kiwanga where Nyeromeister
bases. We kept around; shared times with her, planted trees that we went along
with which we had referred to as a “Green Gift” as it is part of going food
forest hence sustainable via adding fruit trees in our communities, had lunch
with her too.
Details of the fruits;
We went along with four grafted fruit
trees (two mangifera indica and two Citrus; Orange and Tangero) and the fifth
one was a non-grafted-Guava (Psidium guajava).
-Mangifera indica (Edwards) is a grafted
varieties and starts fruiting from 2⅟₂-3 years.
It produces great fruits and is good for making juice.
-Citrus silensis includes Tangero and orange.
-Psidium guajava is local specie but bears amazing fruits. This
native Guava don’t take long, 3-4 years is enough for a guava to start bearing
fruits.
So VEGU shared the little they had with their lovely mum and the family
at large; we had fun with the family and that is how VEGU celebrated the
Permaculture Day-2013!!
