AFIN

See me see wonders ooo as my naija peeps wud say or rather see me see afin! Meaning an albino...ok here goes

I went to school at festac..not goin to name d school for anonymous reasons. And there was this afin guy we always made fun of. As usual whilst he walks past u'd shout AFIN!...u can call it bullyin or wateva u like but the point is if u were an albino in nigeria damn ud be hit with the teasing and ull have to deal with it..ill like to think an afin is the same as someone called ginger..in d western world because of the way they look.

So as i browsed on my facebook page there he was Emeka in a nicely cut black suit taped with satin on the edges, a dark green shirt with high rise collars and a thin black tie to match and he looked ginger!..about an acceptable ginger complexion. All this na grammar he was lookin tite....and im like is this afin...see me see afin...and then i thot to myself if i saw him now and he asked me out i wuda said yes...not cos i like him but now all of a sudden this afin is acceptable as a bf...interesting...all im sayin is its either of two things the western world has made me feel ginger or afin is acceptable and im sure if i was still in naija it will be uunacceptable!

UDDER



The broadness of ur shoulders causes me to shudder

The udders on ur bust is the very buzz when I sleep

The sound of ur voice seemingly soothes me no matter

The problem I call you for

 

Absolute fortress is my king

Augustine the one I can lean

The fact I know I can always count on u,

Is more than I could ever mention

He is well rounded that's my man

That strides along with such vigour

 

The rhythm of his thoughts

Though vivacious it is infectious

He makes me laugh, he makes me cry

All in all I know it all balls down

To the way he loves me so

The way he caresses me distresses me

 

My words fail me but this I can finally call my own

My brother, my friend, my lover,

My husband the crown on my head

Y FRONT!

OK..ill need a mans opinion on this and i guess the women can offer their distaste or love for the y front man!


it goes like this a boy starts out wearing pants cos thats all his parents offer him...but wen he has a chance to choose he starts wearing boxers. and this was back in my days,,,but now its public shorts cos its worn for the passer- by to see,,,saggin in other words!...but then theres loose boxers and theres hip hugging boxers. and apparently speedos as i heard someone shout across the office...


but anyways.. ill leave the speedos out of the question cos that is such a turn off!....so y fronts..they end up with the crowd syndrome and wear boxers cos it sets them free down there and as my cousin would say lets some air in cos they do get hot easily..lol..then after about sixty they strap on the y fronts to keep it all together again...my question...
 is it sagging that bad ...
is it comfort?....
does it have to be white or grey?


im not talkin about every guy..but theres been a few old men ive seen and ohh they do have an attachment to the y front.


Ps it is a total turn off for me oo i dont know about other women ..but it looks so ish...we'd like to wonder wats beneath rather than have it shoved in our faces with a y front...btw wen i first saw my husband naked he was in them ..lol i'd like to think ive cleared those skeletons in the pantie drawer...but y do i feel like the passage of time and old age might just unleash the almighty Y FRONT!

JUXTAPOSITION!


I feel a rhythm in my heart
That wasn't there last night as I wrote fluid,
It's almost like the rustling and bustling of waves
Deep within my soul that cannot be measured
Cannot be quantified, cannot be qualified by words
Neither can it be quantitative, as it cannot be calculated
Unequivocal is the volume the rhythm speaks
From within, my heart beats
Almost in anticipation of the squeak in the distance
An adjective, an adverb, an adjunction...
It feels like it's ascending....
Brimming as if clambering....
Never knew he was listening!

FLUID

Lord can I trust u in moments where I feel alone
Can I truly believe ure right here even tho I tell myself this in my praise and worship
How do I know ure ever with me wen I feel so alone
I feel like ive known u all my life
Spoke about u all my life
Yet at moments like this
I feel like I lost u along the way
How can I speak about u with so much confidence to unbelievers
Yet the same confidence fails me at times like these
Cos I feel u not
My heart tells me ure here
Ill like to say my flesh bites back and the bare reality that im alone hits me even harder.
Like it says in ur word wats the purpose of life vanity upon vanity
We only build and gather only to leave it for someone else to take it all over
The question is that which u cherished... wen left behind wud it be cherished by the person u left it to…
I knw I owe my being to u,,,yet every fibre of my being feels disgruntled
How can I speak of peace being still when I need an awakening by u…
How can I speak of u being here with me wen I need u to move me from where I am to where u want me to be …surely what u have for me is better than where I am …
Like a friend of mine said show me the things u have in store for me
I just might be more responsive more grateful …I might be placid
I cant promise anythin lord am mere human but one thing I do ask for is a lift…
A lift of the burden
A lift of the fluid that fills my eyes
A lift of the fluidity of my smiles
A lift of the fluidity of my thots
The permanence of your fluid that it may fill my cup and overflow …

CHICKEN IS MEAT!!







Rite I need to address a few issues in the post but ill let u into the story first so u can judge for yourself before I influence you with my opinions..




I had dinner round about 8pm and found that at 11pm I was hungry again afraid of the night and all I thot ill dash to the high street to get some Chinese.




As I trotted along I found myself in soliloquy upon entering the shop I noticed the assistant coughing vehemently, which I had to consciously ignore as I placed the order for my food. The conversation began;




Barefeet; erm have u got any spring rolls with meat in it?
Coughing assistant; YES! We do…we got chicken with vegetables in it!
Barefeet; o……k? so do u have any with meat in i…t?
Coughing assistant;  YES! I said We do…we got chicken with vegetables in it!
Barefeet; so u haven't got anything with meat apart from chicken
Coughing assistant; YES CHICKEN IS MEAT!








At this point I was beginning to loose my sense of reasoning at the fact that the word meat can be transcribed into a bird, which is chicken. I did have to budge and ordered spring roll with meat I beg ur pardon with chicken in it..




First thing I don't see ow a bird or poultry could be thot of as meat. Especially wen it flies in the air and its not beef. For the sake of clarity surely wen I say meat ud think beef automatically…if u want to place chicken in the category of meat then u might as well say fish is meat as well!…




Which then leads me to my second point I could clearly see the lady was or is very educated as in degree level and all ..For her telling me its meat was like trying to prove she can speak English unlike her fellow Chinese takeaway colleagues who hardly spoke a word of English apart from the words written on the menu in front of them.


So in other words she was tryin to prove that shes got some status of some sort which I wasn't questioning. This also applies to Asians..sorry to say I believe they don't give a toss about customer service let alone the fact that they think the black race is inferior. 2 things




If u need to buy something from the off licence store or corner shop you go in they expect that u shud not ask any questions the minute u do there's problems! They begin with the attitude and they actually say to me If u don't want to buy leave it…ive had too many of these scenarios which is very sad cos If it were an asian standing in front of them they'll gladly ask about their family and chat away if u come in and beckon at them to get served they often ignore u and carry on like I don't need u to buy anything from my shop.




And the other thing that gets to me is wen u need to hand money to them they'd rather have u place the money on the table and if ur hand is still outstretched to hand them the money they drop their hand so low to avoid body contact. Its like common our skins are both black ooo…its not like ure exactly different or white which is supposedly the opposite of black.  theyre like in the middle..Apparently it's a traditional thing about black touching them meaning bad luck and all that jazz




And then lastly the black race itself I speak for Nigerians and how they form levels.or wud I call it effizy I guess that word has been replaced by swagger!




Y is it that wen we come amongst ourselves we need to prove we been to jand or yankee…I guess it's the same status quo that I mentioned with other nationalities that's occurring here. Tryin to prove levels etc…y cant we all just be ourselves whether bush or polished …and be nice to the other person regardless of education or where ure comin from. u'd imagine education will be a positive thing but wen people use as it as a pedestal to make themselves feel higher than their neighbour I think it totally unnecessary.




To be continued (wats it with girls and thanksgiving Sunday?!)

Can i pray to u wen i dnt want to pray
Can i pray to u about the void that my father left willfully
That i Endlessly need my husband to fill
Can i pray to u about the void that my mother left regretably
That i cant seem to trust any1 to fill
Can i pray to u to teach me ow to make love to my husband
Can i pray to u to show me ow to love especially wen i hv no role models..
Can i pray to return to me that relationship i had with u..before i fell and lost my virginity..
Can i pray to u and ull listen to me like a virgin that i was
Or wud u listen to me as eve who has eaten the forbidden fruit
Can i pray to u about these things and y do i feel like theyre too personal to share with u undeservedly....
Can i pray to u?
