Wait a mintute! Did I grow older?

Its weird how a whole year passes and you sit down and wonder what you did with the last twelve months, I mean it feels like yesterday when I was trailing the Leeds carnival with my sticky out dreadlocks and now the Leeds carnival came back and I feel exactly the same. Is one supposed to feel different when one grows older, should there come with these passing years an intangible feeling of adulthood?

I repeatedly have people tell me "act your age", " you never dress properly", "you should take things more seriously" and the ultimate rib cracking most recent "those multicoloured shoes make you look twelve!".

In my opinion, I think people want to rush to adulthood and as a result they take decisions that steal from them too quickly their childlike innocence. I think its possible to grow older and yet hold in some shape or form our carefree childlike nature, however, it is not as though I am advocating the advent of irresponsible childish adults.

In life, everything is about balance and as much as one needs to put out a certain front of maturity, I do not think I necessarily have to wear heels, a second layer of skin (excessive make up) and bone straight weaves to prove to anyone that my mind and intellect grows everyday as I grow older; that irrespective of age I continue to advance in my communication and thought process.

Fixing the Fizzable

I had a discussion recently with friend on politics and culture in Nigeria. It was impromtu but insightful and you might hear a goat story; and with the master Fela Anikilapo Kuti himself playing on the background with Shuffering and Schmiling, there is no doubt that you'll enjoy it so listen and share your opinion and comment below. I have been able to put the audio file on youtube as a presentation which makes it possible for me to embed the file here!

Invisible Readers

Dear Friends,

Technology has advanced over the past few years and I am constantly amazed at the things we can achieve with them, you know things like MRI scans that can help diagnose multiple sclerosis. I mean how awesome is it to see peoples brains while they are still alive.

See I talked about the MRI scans so that nobody will insult me for talking about a trivial matter like how many people read my blog and how many people comment and why I have a neocounter that says I have had 88 visitors to my blog. I would like to add here that if you visit my blog a gazilion times a day you still only count as one person something about IPI or some other internet speak word (I know this because I kept visiting my own blog to see if the count of UK visitors would change but sadly it didnt).

Now, now people, I talk good sense, I know that because I'm just freaking awesome not because I am an incurable narcissist or anything like that (wink, wink, nudge nudge) but if I talk sense like I know I do why does it say I have visitors from like Russia and Canada and stuff and I only get one comment on one post, its not a good feeling people, now before I loose the respect you have for me .... am gonna stop pleading.

Bottom line: comment, follow, share

PEACE!!!
