They say in the beginning was the word, and the word is knowledge. Now, I don't consider myself to particularly knowledgeable, but I feel like I know enough. Enough to hopefully leave people with a little more than they had before. Advice and Entertainment are my main goals, so don't hold me to anything, well maybe my advice. Like the title of my blog refers, everything I write will be according to me. Not like "oh hey, here's what wrong with society and how I can make it better and blah, blah, blah." I offer no cure to society. Its simply how I view the world, it's Life, my life for the most part. Anyways, formal introduction; "Hi, my name is Tsiambwom Mbeh Akuchu. My friends call me T, hence the title of my blog. (Fun Fact: I am the only person in the world...so far...with my name. It's transferred through the bloodline of my family.When a person dies, the next child born gets the name. Its like a...family inheritance.)
Now for some reasons why my take on Life is bloggable. A little background is in order I suppose. I was born in Yaounde, the capital city of Cameroon. Its a little country off the coast of central west Africa. I moved to the United States when I was about eight and a half years old and since then, Life has had its ups and downs. Living the American dream is much harder than it looks in the movies. You know, when I think about Cameroon, it wasn't too bad there. Actually, sometimes I think Life was a little better. There. Out in the village, my life was simple. I'd wake up with the sun, take the animals out to feed, stop by the farm and did what I could to help, and then spend the day walking the village with my cousins Later, we'd stop by the sugar cane farm for a treat, and walk the lands of my tribe. Sundown, we went home and prepared to do it all over the next day. It wasn't much, but I loved it. Now of course America has its perks, electricity being one of the major ones. But here, I know that I won't ever really have what I had back then. Simplicity and Happiness. It won't be the same. Now I'm being just a little depressing, but this is my home I'm talking about. I'll save the childhood memories for another post. Now as most people reading this know, America has its own brand of happiness, one I'm still trying to figure out. Ok then, moving on.
Into the now. Here is the other half of my introduction. I'm T. Currently I am a college student at Georgia Southern. A small-ish university in South Georgia. Statesboro to be precise. I am a double major in Journalism and Theatre. I sing, I dance, I act. Not much else to say past that. Most of the time that's what I'll blog about. Like I said earlier, this blog is about...Life. My Life. Life according to T.
