i once wrote a poem i titled Spontaneous.
Been a while I touched you last
Been some time since I held you close
Cant remember how sweet you smell
Been a while I felt you next to me
I see your smile and my heart just skips
That kinda beat only you can
The fluttering from looking in your eyes
Been a while my baby sweets
Been a while I felt in love with you
it was meant to be a romantic, wistful piece. and then i posted it on fb, and a crazy friend of mine did this.
Its been a while I touched you last
Its been some time since I held you close
Its been a while that we both laughed
Its been a while that we both choked... Read More
On ample laughter and carefree cheer
On simple pleasures of musical chairs
Its been a while since you've been gone...
The moons have come
We still have fun...
I think about you everyday
And cry when Timi asks
Why did mummy go away?
how's that on the scale of crazy???
so, its been a while i had the strenght to do what i love best, write! for reasons we all know... lethargy, self pitying parties a-plenty, work, disinspiration, just pure laziness! so, am starting with this one. hopefully, this time, i shant quit. again.
c y'all soon with some more fun stuff!!!
PS: is it me or it seems blogville is falling into a recession...?????????

You Are Wild and Outrageous
You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.
You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way.
And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life.
You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it.
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.
You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row.
You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace.
People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality
You Are Responsible and Faithful
You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.
You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.
At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.
You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.
You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way.
And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life.
You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it.
You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings.
You are able to be a foundation for other people... but you still know how to have fun.
Sometimes your emotions weigh you down, but you generally feel free from them.
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.
You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.
You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.
People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

7 Steps to ....
I wrote this a while ago, for fb. Just thot I shld share. Strictly for the laffs... and maybe a thot or two...
I noticed something a while ago. Well,not that I had not thought of it before, but it just struck me again. I hate to admit culpability, but it never ceases to amaze me how frantically we all seek for importance, recognition and all whats not. Even in the seeming mundanes. Okay, so whatbrought this on?
I was, basically minding my own business, snooping through my friends' profile pages (yeah, right! like you don't do that too!) and then then I noticed somethings occurred repeatedly. A subtle nag - "u don fashy me o!", "na so life be? u no even remember ur guy", " u! u promised to call/come to my house/hook up/hangout!!! how come u didnt show?", a nicely put complaint "been a while, my friend", a well, more direct hit "you!!! ... u can imagine the rest ... and the list goes on. Yeah, I know, man is a territorial being and we tend to want to monopolise what we think belongs to us. But to me, this silent pleas for recognition go far beyond marking territories. It all boils down to the fact that everyone would love to kow that someone cares/thinks about them/remembers them fondly/considers them a friend. And as @#$^%&@ as life is, it's not always so. So we all experience being forgotten once in a while by the people you think should love you, and then you pout. I got the remedy you need/are looking for!
Let's start with the nice ones
1. Be a friend
Simple. If you want to have plenty of folks remember you, then remember them. Its easy to always expect to be on the recieving end. Well, if we all cued up behind you, nobody'll be getting nothing! So give a little, and then maybe a trickle will come back to you.
2. Be an accountant
Let me explain myself. This has nothing to do with the fact that accountants handle kudi (howbeit on paper) or that they are innately selfish (oops!). Not at all. You see there is a basic accounting (financial analysis) principle that says in analysing any givensituation, identify the worst and the best case scenario and then make your plans based on the worst case scenario. Reason? Simple. Its the worst that could possibly happen and so you are prepared for it. How does this apply? Do not expect too much from people youu know so little about. Yes, you think he/she is a friend. Yes, you enjoy a couple of laughs. So what? Wait until youu get that connection that makes you a soul broher/sista and then levy hard on then. Afterall, that's what friends are for, right? yeah, right!
3. Get your Algebra and arithmetic in right perspective.
You see, we all have this tendency to want to grab all we can and can all we have. Shortfall is usually not a pretty picture. So, if you expect to get 10 megafriend watts in return, you give 1000. That way you are sure of your returns (10) when you need it. That is algebra. Now, when you give in deficit of say, 100 megafriend watts of energy, expect to lose about 10,000 that you have in store (I think that's some algebra too) except of course you can leverage on track record, human kindness and all those other things that money can't buy. Bottom line, don't always expect t get what you give, and be sure to expect to get back what you have given. Makes sense shey?
4. When you give, demand!
I realised, quite painfully too, that life gives you, not what you ask for, but what you take from it by force. I would hate to sound so, but even with friends, you got toplace demands.What is friendship, afterall if its not tested. Besides, your friends could get the impression that thier help is not reallly needed if you cannot ask well and hard enough. "If no be say na you..." Sound familiar? ell, if you've said that too often, it's time you made some folks say it right back to you.That's what friends are for! Caeat: if by any chance, this does not yield the desired result, promptly abort plan to prevent being called a whiner, whinny ninny, grabber, domineering, inconsiderate or selfish person.
5. Love yourself
I really would have loved to say "nooooo... love your friends, not yourself" But that don't work in this part of the universe. All that selfless crap they sell in all 'em movies don't work here. Yes, do good toyour neighbour. Yes, live for a higher call. Yes, look for the overall good... But for pete's sake, love your self while you are at it! Cos those who you call your friends are the ones who love the things you love, hate the things you hate. So if you find you not showing you enough love, no matter how selfless you heart is, you aint getting none! So, pleasase, put yourself first. Love you. Then you can love another. I mean, if you can't stand you who you are stuck with, how much more me that you can do without. Honestly, everyone admires a little conciet (not just too much) We now call it self confidence! Ha! I'm sure you get the message.
6. Be selfless
What can i say? Always be ready to lay down your life for you friends. That is all I have to say on this matter
7. Finally
Not cos I have run out of simple ways to become Mr./Miss/Mrs. Pompular, but cos, its imperative that I stop here lest I bore you. "sides, 7 is the number of perfection??? Yes, so finally, keep it siple. You are not Obama, neither are you Mandela. So YOU DO NOT NEED A TEEMING POPULATION OF FANS TOO FEEL IMPORTANT! Curb you excesses and find value in the handfull of names that you know will stick closer than a brother/sister in the time of need. Yes, keep all 'em fans, but puullleeeesssee, keep them as fans. A smart person knows who his/her real friends are. That way, when you are gropping in the dark of unpreparedness (whatever!), uncertainties and all those things life throws at you from its back pocket, you'd be sure what will grab your sweaty palms will be the firm grip of a known and trusted friend, and not the flaying hands of an acquintance, or worst still, the sharp sting of a patient foe.
I really, really gottogo now!

Window view...
Here I am sitting by my window, watching the world go by. Not my world. That seems to be at a stand still. I'm holding my breath, counting the heart beats. I'm waiting on you. To help me be me. To be strong and stand still. I'm waiting on you to hold me, rock me, gently. I wishing that you would come in, quietly. Knock me out of this reverie, locked around you...
I'm waiting on dreams to come true. I'm waiting on time to be true. Keep your word to me, let this heal slowly. Run me right through it so it fades. Make it go gently, it's the pain I hate! I'm waiting on serendipity. To drop love like fresh cherries, on my laps. I am waiting for strenght and bold resilence, to fear no fool or fight with one. I am waiting for miracles to happen. Suddenly, it's all gone and I'm complete. The ache has disappeared, and now you're with me... I'm waiting on Providence. Good luck! Wished horse!! Sweet essence!!! I'm waiting on life's best things, to happen. To me, easily. I'm waiting on trust to come, wipe the frown and knock me down! I'm waiting for hope to rise, above the tides, sweep me into the skies. I'm waiting on dreams and such. Wistful thought of since I was small
I'm waiting with arms crossed over, eyes looking yonder, face set grim. I'm waiting becuase it seems, I wont cave in when then I would. I wait and hope and pray that thoughts of today will not huant me again. I'm waiting cos I believe in you, You who always makes dreams come true.
And if what I wait for seems not clear, let me just resound it right here. I am waiting to fall in love, cos suddenly, that's what my whole life's about! I do not want this to pass, been there (close enough) that that and that. And this time I want to do it again, right, for sure, secure and all. And thanks to downtheaisle and all you lovey doveys around, the bug I caught now is out. And I'm going to wait this one out!!!

am thinking, aye...
What technology has done for us.
Here I am at 8.00 pm in front of my computer, bonding with people i might never see. maybe in real life, we do not even greet. for all i know, you could be that colleague of mine at work that drives me nuts!! but here, in this virtual world of make believe reality, you are my friend. you are there to hear me scream "that's a foul!" and comfort me. you appreciate my efforts at articulation and now, you award me for it! (nope. i wasn't nominated... newbie...??) you are my friend, without the masks and the shameless charade. i do not need to impress you, you see beyond what i may or may not be wearing. you see into the part of me that only words so deep can tell. you are the one that hears my whisper in the din of railing voices. you are the one with whom i share the passion to speak my mind, voice out the demons and kill 'em!
its amazing how easy it is to be friends when there are virtual walls between us. the ease with which i connect with you is majorly because i do not see you. you do not size me up. i do not asses you. i have no say on your preferences or choices, you do not judge me. we can only laugh at our silly idiosyncrasies, pick a few lessons and keep on being who we are! its just amazing!!
i wonder why live friendships cant be like that. why do i have to rate you before i place you on any cadre of relationships? why must you look like "it" talk like "it", sound like "it" to be "it" for me? cant you just be you and me be me and we learn from each other independently? i know its harder when the walls are broken. attitudes rub off and principles soon become shared. but beyond our quest for self preservation and adamant independence, cant we still just be friends?
