Quarrels

Hello hello dear readers, what's up? I guess I'm in a really good mood today just I just thought I'd share something funny(maybe not so funny) with you. Well the other day I was on twitter and got hold of a very funny twit fight between two ladies. Obviously one was against Bruce Jenner's sex change (I'll write about that soon) and the other was in support. Long story short! I just want to talk about how our character affects the quarrels we have and how real mature people should handle quarrels.
  Well I'm a lover of quotes and proverbs so I'll start off with this quote from Andre Gide "Most quarrels amplify a misunderstanding" You see dear friend, when people quarrel they do so because they do not agree on the same thing or because they do not even understand the other person's view. So what am I saying? As the well brought up person that you are :) (no flattering here) try as much to understand where your co-quarreler is coming from because you see, quarrels only compound the problem.
 One last thing I want you to also know is that it takes two too tangle. What am I saying? A quarrel is impossible if one party is absent or shall I say " a quarrel soon ends when one party deserts it" so dear reader, when you sense quarrel breeding somewhere, take your leave if the other party's spirit is too hot at the time to settle things calmly.
 By the way , I think Bruce Jenner's sex change is something *****. LOL, mail me to know what I think :D

The Heartbroken Heartbreaker

It took me how long to write this? Probably a million years! This piece is long overdue! Ladies and gentlemen, especially ladies, please do not feel particularly attacked by this piece. I am trying very hard to be honest. Last night, I thought to myself what my response would be if people ever asked me if I've been heartbroken and before I knew it, I had a long speech about how unserious men can be and how women suffer as a result of this. Then it occurred to me that, in the real sense of things, I have never had my heart broken by anybody. Please, please, please, I am not forming wonder woman or holy than thou, it is the simple truth! I came to this realization because, I noticed that if there was ever a time that I felt terrible emotionally it was because of my own expectations and unrealistic guesses. I really don't like to write things about love and relationship and stuff because it gives my readers too much opportunity to get into my head and sometimes, imagine things ...

3 AM

I woke up at 3 am. This was the best time to do it and get on with life, it was a time without souls on the walkways, just the regular night guards who were now familiar with my work pattern. I woke up at 3 am. Got out of bed and breezed into my silk dress, no underwear. A risky thing to do, considering it improved my chances of getting raped, according to some people. I didn't care. Whoever wanted to rape would rape, with or without my underwear. I woke up at 3 am, got to the kitchen and opened the back door. There, it laid  as usual, in a black thrash bag. I motioned towards it, hesitating for a bit. But why, this was my usual responsinility. I had to clean up over them and get rid of every evidence. Somehow, I felt guilty, a part of the larger evil in the world. I woke up at 3 am, got the 'package' and slid out of the house. I monitored my footsteps closely to avoid noise. I monitored the air to taste for human presence though my nostrils. I monitored everything but ...

To Copy or Not?

*Singing 9ice's 'photocopy no easy, you can never be like me' * Actually, photocopy is easy, and very cheap sef. In Ibadan you can photocopy a page for #2 if you know the right places. Anyway, I'm not here to talk about literal photocopy today but something metaphorical. First, I apologize for being AWOL, it wasn't deliberate. Now, to today's issue. Do you think it's a bad thing to copy people around you? In my opinion, it's not advisable even though it is not totally bad. The reason is simple. It is not bad to want to copy someone if you think that person is a better version of you. However, I think it's wrong to copy a person's every move. In my opinion, you both can be similar but yet different! To illustrate, I will use cake and wine. Cake and wine are similar because they are both edibles, but they are also different. The longer wine stays on the shelf, the better it gets! However, cake is best served hot I think. That is why people call...
