staurday
Stinking all the way to high heaven - my smell must have been driving the flies into orgies or estasies od violent buzzing- I cannot for the life of me make up my mind...
I woke up this morning and proceeded to work and have been at it since...
It is currently 10:44pm on a saturday nite and i am infront of this computer pounding away (not to be mistaken for anything apart from straight, normal typing)
A friend of mine from school came by today (his name's sammy) and believe it or not when two or more persons who are in the same spot meet - they usually end up talking about the very thing that binds them together. In our case - it was the lack of well-PAYING jobs...
If someone out there makes the mistake to say in God's time (i promise to bomb them out of this world into the next - which would be one of my kinder actions, all things considered!)
Apart from trying to map a way forward (which can be very enterprising, especially when you realize that the future is not looking very bright indeed as of yet...)
We talked about the changes inherent in us as we start to chase careers, pay rises, promotions, changes in state...
On to other matters:
I have been admiring phones on the net with my "buddy" emeka - the fellow that has the attention span of a wandering nun...
Anyway we ahhhed and ohhhed our way through various selections - needless to say that i left him there, still ahhhing and ohhhing...
I'm contending with the mosquitoes and other types of insects that are having a field day at eating me up alive... (I should make that "we" as there are three other persons in the cafe apart from me)
Anyway - i just wanted to drop some words to dilute my wells of silence before the new week comes upon us...
Almost forgot - valantine... all that kiss and tell, love u too much to breathe, can't live with(out) you, you are the air that I breathe, etc
inspite of my personal prejudice (i do have someone to share it with) - Happy valantine in advance...
Regards people,

Welcome back to the sess pits... (smells, sounds and everything else...)
Back to Lagos - the city where u sleep with one eye open always.
I came in queitly on a bus from the east - my vacation ended and I was ready to resume the day to day hustling and challenges that are a part of all (okay - almost all) Lagos denziens...
The lack of electricity, commonly referred to by the name of the utiltity company (in our case: NEPA or the new PHCN) was a welcoming gift to remind me that I was back to the hustle and bustle of lagos life and that I was to expect no quaters...
As i said before, this city is the home to intrigue, mysteries and adventures that will send your adrenaline levels spiking for heights that would be considered dangerous elsewhere - but Lagos is not elsewhere - It is simply Lagos!
I'm also back to work - I was welcomed with relief and complaints of how bad business has been for some time now...
(we've had to change our internet service provider, which is a tale in itself best left for another time.)
Do i sound disconsolate when describing lagos?
U just have to bear with me - It is the kind of place you must visit as it defies every logical explanation you think you have... It must be experienced and felt rather than described.
Anyway - i just wanted to fill u in, the vacation was heavenly.
I gained weight to my utter delight, rested and toned my muscles - all to my hearts content.
If I sound happy, I wish you could have seen me three weeks ago - thinking and working will waste you to the bones (scarecrow...)
Anyway - just wanted to check in...
regards

REST... the utter bliss of a well earned rest...
break... that was exactly what i needed.
Infact, i craved it so much my mind went numb with shock just thinking about it...
I spent two gorgeous weeks (which were the best two weeks of my life) - in quiet solitude, eating, sleeping (in a certain fashion) and generally lazing about plus the jumping around...
The result should be plain to see - my cheek bones, which had hollowed out have filled in - I don't look like a scarecrow anymore (even though, i'm not exactly an adonis) Plus there's some kind of pectoral definition - my muscles look toned somewhat...
It was well needed and well earned.
Also a plus - my uncle delivered on his promise and I can at last inject some much needed capital into this business that I'm involved in...
I'm expecting others to fall in line (By God's grace)
The idea of waiting for nigeria's job market to single me out is not exactly to my liking... i plan to be a man of destiny (mine that is...)
That said - I (Also by God's grace) expect to be in lagos by thursday - to continue the "Struggle" to be a made man ( I was about to use the term "self made" when some logic that I had been missing, injected itself into my thoughts - please replace the term "self" with "God"...)
Sorry for my absence - it was due to a holiday that ordinarily should have been only a week but is now in excess (it is infact approaching three weeks)
later folks...
