October Silence
Posted by Deboh Adeaga on Sunday, November 1, 2009 Under: News
Hi
all, thank you for your time once again...my title says ''October
Silence'' and what i am referring to here is the reason for my silence
in the month of October 2009 but lest i forget, welcome to November
2009 today is the 1st of November, hope it meets y'all well and keeping
hope alive.
Pls refer to my introductory blog titled 'Me' in which i said i have not kids yet but who know what may happen tomorrow and yes! the 2nd of October, 2009 saw the arrival and welcoming into our family of our Baby Boy, so precious and sweet and of course looking like his dad - Me... right?
, or is it like the Mum? 
... well I am sure its a bit of the two side and this has kept me busy as you
can imagine, so my piece of advice, if you wanna have kids...man! go
for it cos it the most wonderful thing only that you shd be aware of
the other aspects to it like waking up at every bit of sound you think
you heard from the baby's direction and waking up when there is really
a sound from the same direction and this latter is more deadlier than
the former i promise you.
So did i hear a CONGRATULATION from you? sure i did...thanks.
Now something else briefly, i was gonna be working with an animation studio on a feature movie right about now since i have all it takes and the bit of experience gathered with the same studio will suffice plus my own personal motivation, all plan seemed to be in place and all hands on deck until the horrible happened, i was not considered eligible regardless of my past involvement and selflessness but WHY...many other flimsy and unclear excuses but the one that strikes me the most is that i am not south african... well not in those exact words but when you begin to hear things like ''only for south african applicants and co'' then you have a full picture of what the case is... now the company producer/director thinks otherwise and sees no reason why not but isnt taking the bull by the horn and standing up for what he believes, now tell me what do you do or think in such a situation, well naturally i am thinking 'unreliability', 'insincerity', 'intimidation', 'disappointment' and so on but i guess thats all my own personal issues, whatever i think does and will not prevent the so called ''biggest'' animated feature in Africa from happening of which matter-of-factly, production has since commenced without me.
However personally i have a lot learned from this experience, although i would say this does not mean i may not be asked to get involved before the project comes tp an end sometimes next yr ending i supposes but then i ask myself this question - Will i be comfortable being TOLERATED rather than being CELEBRATED...? and thats a question i am asking and asking again, in the event that i am called upon soon to come in and join the production team.
Another lesson painfully learnt but worthy is bean learnt is only to hold onto things that a in black and white rather than merely verbalized based on relationship or faith or unequal friendship....
Now i wont bore you any longer with this personal matter so to speak but i hope it would have opened your eyes in a way or at least confirmed further what you have always known.
Thanks you and keep watching this space for more.....
