A Drink you should never turn down!

Hi guys,

How have you been? I still dont feel like confessing just yet. I have missed having you guys around? Wetin do all of una? Everyone just went on a blogger break??? Unacceptable! Especially without express permission from my very humble self...LOL
Wetin do miggie?? Where's he going? Young man, except you are planning to run to mars or saturn, I'mma find you!
A lot of gist o! Chai! Holding everything inside is making me tingly all over...LOL, but i've come to realise there are somethings y'all dont need to know...its redundant gist.
Yesterday I went around doing good like Jesus said abi, na so me and Yeye inc go see one person like that -long story short, we ran into a mutual friend and decided to see the guy's place. Not bad, we stayed a while and when we were about to go, his 'afesona' showed up. So 'EXILE' was declared, we catch scope and cut.
Na so yeye inc dey yarn me say thank God no be only me come o, say na so my hair dey stand like person wey rush chop! that even the afesona dey look me 10 times...abeg o! Na your property o! My hair stands...aint my fault, na so God make am! In fact, my paddie one time tell me say, my hair na 'alakoba', if my face no koba me, my hair must to koba me. Haba??? only me???

Anyway, I went to get my documentes in the equivalent VI of london. The area is really tight, infact, every car that passed was chauffer-driven...hmmm memoirs...LOL. Anyways na so child of God dey mind her business dey waka o! na so, one bros walking toward me was smiling, I thought it would be rude not to smile back, so i did. He then stopped and asked if I worked around here.
'Dude, i don't know you...'
'Weren't you at xxxx's party last week?' It felt alot like those sleezy come-on lines.
'No, I dont know xxxx, I dont know you, it was nice meeting you though...bye'

I turned the corner and it started to drizzle, so I stood at the nearest cover I could find. Looked like the entrance of some hotel or company, the bell man didnt seem to mind, so I stood peacefully waiting for the wet weather to pass. Door opens behind me and dismissed dude is standing behind me smiling. Who the heck is this dude?? Ok, its free public space. He had the proverbial 'you can run but can't hide look'. That's irritating.
First, you look really close to thirty so I wonder what you'd be doing at a juve's party? Second, Its mid day...shouldn't you be work or something? Or do you spend your lunch hour preying on innocent by-standers??
'Would you like to wait inside while it rains?' He said after a moment or so.
"No, thanks, i'm sure it would soon pass'
"Would you like to have a drink sometime?'
"I..."Just then the rain stopped. Perfect! "I'm very busy this week. It was nice meeting you...again. " Na so i carry my kaya and fled.

Fine, I admit turning him down was not the perfect decision and yes, I kinda wish i did say yes but he was unnerving! What kind of guy meets you in 2 minutes and already makes you feel completely uncomfortable???? Even if you did spend the entire party staring at him....

Mothers & Drinks...

Hello World...
Happy Mothering Sunday to all mothers out there. To you wonderful women who make life worth living. The rock behind our very existence, to the wonderful maker of you all,
The smiling mothers,
The stern ones,
The melodramatic ones,
The effluvious ones,
The dynamite ones,
You teach us what family is and tell us that we are special. Truth is, we are special because you are special.
I love you MOM, if you were a flower, i'd still have picked you...

In the festive spirit, its Saint Patrick's weekend here in the UK. Some irish drinking????LOL. I'm hovering between finishing my coursework and joining the fun. Well guys, where's everyone? Update your blogs!!!!

What thinketh thou?

As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. What are you thinking right now? Yep, that slipperly thought that simply frolicked through your mind. It aroused several images in your head, some of them made you laugh, others rejoiced in the fact that no other creature could see what goes on in that head of yours. Isn't it amazing? You smile politely 'Morning Mrs X' meanwhile that head of yours ripped her open and feasted on what her features might look like. I can bet that you have a 97.9% guess accuracy by now and with any luck and further training, you will experience what you have envisioned.
Isn't it sad however? You are the parish priest afterall, the morality preacher or that 'looking/sounding perfectly sane man'. Many look up to you and you know it. You are at the forefront of pertinent issues today, the vanguard of our pressing for a better world. Still you encourage such indiscipline in your members.
Why did you take that trip? 'i needed to see first hand, the effect of our contributions to improving the lives of the less privileged!' You protest. Wasn't it to avoid having that conversation with your wife? To claim expenses you really didnt incur? To indulge in some wild thrills? 'enjoy the fruits of your labour' as you like to call it.

You've had it properly planned. What you'd tell the wife, what you'd say to the firm to let you go at the break of spring, eh? How you'd play that you really didnt want to go but how the firm is making you do it?
Dont you realise that what you broad over is what lays eggs of indiscretion in your life? Dont you realise the motive for any action is truly the axis on which its value lies? That 100,000 pounds you gave to 'war-child' is really worth nothing because you only did it to get a tax-break. Or did you really think your soaring reputation was an indication that you've been doing right by the world? Au contraire, mon ami! Even the courts will let you off a heavy penalty if your lawyers can provide 'reasonable doubt' on your motives for the crime.
If even the decadent system we operate in appreciates that the motive for our actions can determine whether they are truly evil or good, why then do we make so light of them in our daily lives?

Some may argue that we can not, indeed should not, be condemned by our thoughts, afterall half the time we are not in control of them. They are mostly a response to external stimulus or our nous's way of letting us know that we are alive. Moreso, thoughts unlike actions are not quantitatively examinable as to determine a cause-and-effect relationship. How many thoughts on killing equate to murder? Can you prove i really thought about killing him if i didn't physically do it? Or that if I think about kiling someone for a year, i'd figure out a sneaky, evidence free way of doing it? (Don't you just love the human mind?)

I submit to you that your thoughts are more powerful than you are willing to let on or accept. I submit to you that the true value of any act is in the motive therein. I submit to you that even though this notion is unprovable, you and I know its true!
Take a moment to examine the 'value' of your actions, maybe you'll see the thoughts that led to them and maybe, just maybe then you'll see the truths you've ignored. 'cause that seemingly harmless thought you entertain now, may cost more than you bargained for later on...

March

As I march on, armed in the month of March,
I shall stand on that which I know to be true
Taking each day as a gift, new
Walking tall as someone foreknew.
Yes! No longer a servant but a friend,
Destined, Heiress till the end
Making my way through each day,
A sign, not a needle in hay...
Though I walk through the valleys and the shadows,
NO SHAKIN'!!!
