Blog for why?

I think its time to revisit this place. Especially now that its become Google's dumping ground for weary browsers (browsees?) in search of Styl Plus lyrics and other randomness left behind by the ghost of my 24 year-old self. Yep, It's definitely time.

I'm Back!

Will give the full gist on my 3-week katsina adventure very soon. In summary it was more like Nkems comment on my last post than all that writing and reading stuff. plus there was electricity and khaki turned out aight. So my next post will be the last on this blog for a year or so. I'm starting a new blog to record my adventures during the service year (finally something real to blog about). Need to catch up on my fav blogs... I'm outty. BTW I missed all you guys (you know who u are). BTW (part biyu) Lupe's albums finally here now u can stop guessing who's on third. :)

May be my last blog for a while

I'm too lazy to blog about getting posted to Katsina for youth service so i put up this MSN convo instead. (insert witty remarks here) (here) (and here) (yawn). Peace out. if i'm motivated i'll post something up before the 5th of september (departure day). if not its peace out. keep my blog warm. Don't do anything (too) interesting with your lifes. Don't miss me too much (no sarcasm there, for real). You know the addy, u know the number. Peace out (again).

This hot girl in my class got posted there too. ha, ha.

GYM CLASS HEROES: New Friend Request


I should be working right now but i decided to share this and hopefully ya'll can digest this while i write my thesis on the above topic (that isn't the work i'm supposed to be doing) which you'll probably never get to read cause i probably won't finish it. Back to work.

The invisible blog - of course if there was a title it'd no longer be invisible and if i don't figure out the whole RSS feed thing it'd be up the nigerianbloggers.com.
I've got 37 mins 13 seconds to write all the invisible stuff i want to... but to be honest i'd rather be doing something else but i'm stuck here now in a cybercafe because i won't be able to use the internet at home for a week.
Truth is i have no invisible stuff to write. And its rainining and i'm stuck here and my funny box is on strike. Quit looking for the joke. I'm doing a Dave Chapelle S.A move. And at the same time i have nothing serious to write about. Boredom.
"I just need time to walk it off"
"Write on!"

I should moan about PHCN destroying my life (or slowing it down at least). But I won't cause I'll get even more bored. Or I could write about the 'Gym Class Heroes' but thats personal shit. Yawn. Why write when i can read? I'm off to your blog. Boredom.

I've got a midget in my pocket

Jessica (Rosario alba) dawson hybrid chic: Is that a midget in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

too me to blog: I would be happy to see you if u really did exist and were not just a hypothetical prop set up to breathe life into this uninspiring blog i find myself writing tonight.

Jdhc: What???

tmbt: I didnt expect her to quote Kerouac or anything but a little wit wouldnt hurt

God: This is your creation not mine. Don't turn to me everytime you [Beep] up ur fantasies...

De Other Guy: It isnt his actually hes ripping delots voice convo thingy. Alas, that delot, hes one of mine...

God: I'm talking about her not this...this...

Jdhc: What???

tmtb: its a midget.

[Note to self: Never bring him here again - Ed.]

Now to the blog :
I got my first midget today. While the rest of u would wonder if i have acquired myself a slave (a little person sex slave - knowing how filthy your minds are) or a hard on (thus ending speculation about my involvement in the 2 minute man conspiracy) those of you involved in more journalistic pursuits would know what i'm talking about. A midget is that little tape recorder thingy that journalist shove into peoples faces and women in soap operas usually have lying in their hand bags when lazy screenwriters are in desperate need of a plot twist ("But you said you loved me Antonio...*sob* *sniff*... I've got it all on tape"). Its like the word 'unionized', a chemist (like I am sometimes) would read it as 'un-ionized' while a lay man or woman (like you are because this is my blog) would read 'union-ized'. If you didnt know this, don't be hard on yourself it doesnt mean youre stupid (you have all those pictures of clothes you thought were cool 10 years ago to do that) it just means i'm not.
(Where was I?)
On monday I'll be conducting my first ever interview, taking my first (2nd or 3rd actually) step into the murky waters of music journalism. Here before you sits...types...is...was...whatever the next Nick Hornby (Lester bangs at least) or at least someone who once interviewed a DJ and decided he'd rather do something else with his life next monday. I don't know anything about interviewing folk but i'm guessing the trick is to make the interviewee say interesting stuff... I have the whole of 2mrw/2day to think of how to bait Jimmy Jatt claim he was once a prisoner of war in Vietnam living on a slice of bread and 10 sticks of cigarette for most of the last decade... thats a bit too much... well, i could make him say he writes volumes of 'haiku' in his spare time if he mentions 'fufu'.
(Instead of writing some clever stuff and sticking a link in it i would like to take this timeout to plug the website giving me the opportunity to do this and a lot of other good stuff coming soon. soundsofnigeria.com - thats the future there.)

Back to the midget. I've decided to name it mini-me. if any 'little person' reads this and thinks i'm poking fun at the vertically challenged... I'ld like them to know that a lot of my best friends are midgets. Hit me! (Insert James Brown Hit here!).

In other news:
I was almost a victim of the 'one chance' scam this week. If you don't know what that means... I wish i could trade places with you. I'm mad tired and i need to go crash so i cant tell that story today. but at least u know i'm in one piece as i type this so u can guess how it ended.

In other other news:
The rains been "$%^#@*&$ $%^& - i know i shouldnt speak about mother nature that way.

Stuff I've said into my midget today:
"Cough...Cancer sticks and karma flavoured water..."

"...A bouquet of cigarette butts in a bottle top ashtray... oh! I like that...Is ash-tray one word or two?... cough "

Thats cutting-edge journalism for you there.

jdhc: Whats a midget?

Rain and stuff

Its 1:36 a.m and theres no light. I've got ear phones on (heard theyre called buds - but i'm razz by choice) so i can't hear the mosquitos but i'm sure they're buzzing around me. my old man can't sleep and I don't think it has anything to do with electricity - he is old now - he has always been my ''oldman" but now hes looking the part. My mum is asleep (shes old too). My sister has gone to bed, against her will, as soon as NEPA (who cares what they're called these days they're still crap - they should have spent all that money they spent on new stationery after their name change to provide one more hour of electricity for me) 'took the light' I pulled the whole seniority stunt on her and 'chanced' her off this laptop (yes i'm roasting my nuts again). Shes on hols and I know how that feels, a survivor of BHW I & II myself, I'm trying to be as unannoying (and un-chancy) as possible... shes growing so fast its scary.
Earlier today, she asked me if I had any movie she could watch, I gave her 'Hideous Kinky' (nice movie) as she was leaving with it I remember that there were sex scenes in it... I'm scared for her (when I remember to be)... Shes 15 (same age as the movies rating BTW)... Shes on Hi5 now (I've sworn to leave a I'll break-your-neck-if-you're-a-pervert-trying-to-mack-my-sister-online testimonial death threat on her page before i quit Hi5 forever) and its no longer beyonce or ashantis pic, its her own... The closest my parents ever came to educating me on sex was just a year ago. I almost broke down in angry tears and my mum couldn't understand why. I thought my reasons were obvious: I'm (was) 22! What were you waiting for this is at least 6 years too late... I'm scared cause we have the same parents (did I mention that they were old).
Its 2:05 a.m I'm praying it rains. I love the rain. From what I've seen of the rest of the world (not much but enough) the rain is best in Lagos (if your roof isn't leaking). Its soothing. I'm feeling down (fucked would be a better word). I miss my brother. I should stop blogging and mail him now but I won't because... just because. Its hard to explain but we only tell each other we love each other when we're drunk. He has been away for over a year now so I drink less now and I only say the word 'love' when I sing along to some song (BTW Corrine Bailey Rae is dope and it has nothing to do with her last name).
If not for the music life would be fucked (I am but life isn't). I've been down - I don't mess with the word 'Depression' because I know what it looks like. If you've had very close family hospitalized over that shit you'll realize that theres a time to stop being self-indulgent and step out from from under your imaginary dark cloud. The real ones aren't musical or poetic if they were at all it'll be on some AZ and Nas "Lifes a bitch and then you die/ thats we get high/ cause you never know when you're gonna go!" tip... Reality bitch slaps
2:24 a.m What was I saying again? I'm down but It can all change in a second so I'm not really bothered. All it'll take is some rain (its been raining all week but wheres that shit when you need it?) a phonecall, Elec-fucking-tricity!!! Anything. And if it doesnt rain etc. I'll be good until 2mrw/2day because of the music. Thank you for the music (all 14hrs and 2 gigs of it - you know who you are). Aight this is where I put the safety on and recommend a new soundtrack to my blog (Its on repeat now). Go to this page and download the track called runaways you can also read along to it here. I like sage Francis hes like rain - good words are almost as soothing as good weather.
2:41 a.m Almost forgot to thank senior Delot for reminding me to spill my guts. Is this how much time blogging consumes? Well what else is there to do here, besides downloading mp3s from Obi's playlist. my MSN isn't signing in...crap...I can't sleep in this heat...drat...I've got places to go 2mrw/ 2day...rain...the old man is sleeping... :)
