CONFESSION OF AN ADDICT

 

 

 

 

 

  

I sometimes quiver waiting for it…

Wishing it would be as good as the last time…

And just when it is that time for it,

I realize I can’t find my apparatus…

I’m close to freaking out….

How could this be happening to me?

I’m going to make myself take an oath…

I’m not going to do this anymore!

I have to be able to do without this stuff…

I should in fact take that oath now!

But then, who am I kidding?

Letting go of all the good times,

with just one whiff of the very good stuff?

I need it to spark off my day…

An ingredient to keep me stable…

It sure does make me feel so good!

And if it is really good,

I’ll be high enough to believe anything!

Like believing I have no problem…

Mistake, I meant problems …

The good stuff makes me howl, “good morning Lagos!”

Even before the sun beams it shine on the metropolis…

I "seriously" giggle aloud under its thrill…

 

Making me feel like "what's trending"...

Which makes lunch time a double treat….

And it keeps me high enough…

To hang out with the “deadliest gang,”

The talk of town after work hours…

While there are those nights,

When getting high,

Guarantees blissful "tales at night"…

Oh!  There it is!

I’m plugging in for one round of bliss...

Oh yeah!

Feels so good!

Don’t think I can ever quit this habit…

I mean listening to my radio…

What did you think I was talking about?

 

Oh well, I confess...

 

I just can't stop this addiction!

THE ODD THINGS OF LIFE

Is there any possibility that you don't look anything close to this, walking into an air conditioned room from the heat of a scourging sunny day?

Imagine if this was life's test of true love, what would you do?  Willfully drown, get out of the pool or ask for another partner? 

Why did the chicken cross the road?  To get to KFC for chicken equal rights campaign.  A brave chicken, indeed!

This was one of the ways to use a helmet when riding on a bike in Lagos. Is it "was" or "is?"   



 Before and After

We might not all agree that there was intent with the hand placement, but we can all agree that this was an epic battle where anything could have happened.

 

 

 



To all those concerned: after reading please read again! 



And they think it's an attitude problem

This is not supposed to be funny!

Yeah, the "new skool" kind of stupid

 

 

 

If there was any chance for one to start afresh with bottle one, for some it would be like: milk in the morning, coke at noon and "we ain't  waiting till Friday" mood. Right where we started 24 hours ago!

"GAME OF THRONES": LETTER OF QUERY

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Foremost, I cannot help but acknowledge the brilliant minds behind such a masterpiece that could compel emotional eruptions of volcanic proportion, no matter the audience composition.



Before now, twitter experienced a trending uproar after the American audience saw the red wedding episode.  I could not understand what could spur such an outrage until I was privileged to have my senses assaulted in more ways than I could ever
believe possible. 









Mr. George R. R. Martin and the others concerned, WHAT KIND OF A BLOODY GAME ARE YOU PLAYING?!







Yes, Ned Stark had to loose his head to prompt the rebellion.  And yes, Theon Greyjoy had to put Winterfell in ruins to heighten the intrigue.  But the red wedding?  It was too much an entertainment to play God with! 



I am compelled to read the book and anticipate whatever rude shock might be in the offing.  But my experience with Clive Cussler's "Sahara" keeps echoing in my head: bad idea, very bad idea!  The "Sahara" book was so thrilling to read that I hungered for the movie.  But when I saw it, I hated it and still do hate it.





This is my fear that has warranted this query, Mr. Creator(s):  Will there ever be a revenge sweet enough to match the atrocity called the red wedding?  After watching the red wedding episode, I almost abandoned the series because I feared that the tragedy was over-cooked.

"The Last Castle," "Titanic," "Brave Heart," "Gladiator," "Million Dollar Baby," "Prison Break" and the rest of them were necessary tragedies...








 NOT THE RED WEDDING!








For now, I have forced myself to continue to watch "Game of Thrones" for one character and one character alone!  And I dare you all, whoever it may be, to kill that character!  Do it and that shall be the end of my love for the "game".  (I think?)




I am not sure if I should end this query with regards.



Yours sincerely,




A concerned viewer of the "Game of Thrones" that is still in shock!

 

POWER DRUNKS IN X-RATED MOVIE

 The last time I was coerced into talking about power drunks I ended that critique with a question.  This time around I want to begin with that question.  “A drunk will always command attention and very likely amuse his/her audience. But when that drunk is someone with immense power to influence society, will this drunk not muster others of like mind within the society and deprive that society of its sanity?”  Nigeria’s Rivers State House of Assembly has answered my question and proven to me that my theory of power drunks cannot be faulted. 

The most moving scene of all the display was the fact that someone did swing with all his might to hack down a fellow man all in the name of politics.  I have refused to call it a show of shame because it is not apt a description.  It is a reminder of how the evil of Aluu 4 was perpetrated. 

 

 

IT IS A SHOW OF WICKEDNESS!  

 

 

  

 

 

 

 And can you imagine that same man that was so intent to hack a fellow man down with a stick go to lie on a bed with a tube attached to his hand for a photo shoot?  

 

 

 

 These drunks have danced naked and I have chosen not to be ashamed but afraid.  For if in broad daylight wickedness of this magnitude can be put on display what will happen when night falls?  What would have happened if there was a trigger happy power drunk with a gun at hand?  For those of you that are yet to see it, you need to go see it for you to know why many don’t believe that the Nigerian Police is your friend, especially when they become stooges of power drunks.   

 

 

 No matter whoever might have started this, for whatever reason either imaginary or real, every single person to have acted major roles in this uncensored violent movie should not be allowed to dignify or excuse their actions with comments until they have been stripped of every iota of reason for their drunkenness;  their power!

 

 And if no law in the land of Nigeria would make this recommendation of mine come to pass,  then movie enthusiasts should ready themselves for a sequel that will definitely be more bloody than what was witnessed in this trending X-rated political movie.  

 

 

 

GOD SAVE NIGERIA'S DEMOCRACY!
