Life

We can never tell where Life leads us,

We never know what new challenges its going to throw at us,

Life is scary when you think of the negatives and all that can go wrong,

But bliss when you take a moment and see all that’s beautiful about it,

In my experience which might not mean much,

Life is really between those two extremes, Good times and Bad times,

Times you wish you were never born and Times that you don’t want it to end,

I guess the only option for us is to live life and make something out of it,

Really what other option is left us?

If this life is lived right and with purpose,

For those who believe,

There is a light at the end of the tunnel,

Greater things to come in the afterlife,

Its up to us really to search ourselves and make decisions that shape our destiny,

To find those answers, the ones we were born with,

For those who believe in a higher being, trusting Him to back our decisions up,

Whatever you believe,

You can’t let Life pass you by,

LIFE HAPPENS! DEAL WITH IT!

Random Thoughts

This is a post from my previous blog slightly edited,

I liked it when I wrote it, hope you do too,

My thoughts are getting the better of me
So I thought I should write them down
But I should be working not writing;

Anyway here goes,
Has anyone ever wondered why the Nigerian Police has black as its uniform?
Its kinda eerie and has unseemly undertones,

I mean black’s associated with evil ….
I am black but skin color’s an exception(My Black Pride would let me believe);
In the movies it was always clothing,So I’m going to base this post on that……
OK. Let’s get back to the guys I love to hate:
These guys -the police- can be found terrorizing the citizenry
No one really escapes their clutches
But i was really thinking about the similarities between the brotherhood of black
The things mummy & daddy taught us as kids bout thieves:
Thieves wear black to camuoflage with the pitch black night
They can be found at roadblocks robbing people blind

Armed robbers extort money and valuables from innocent people because they have weapons
They can be found at drinking joints between the hours of 7 and 9, getting drunk
Okada is their favored means of transportation
They shoot and kill,then inform the court that it was accidental or Oga made them do it
They are agents of terror and everyone prays to avoid them
They invent laws on the spot and enjoy being begged
Who are we talking about again?
Oh,thieves ……..

Really,which of the above doesn’t spell Nigerian Police?!
My thoughts exactly!!

P.S : Ever wonder how Chioma Ajunwa got that gold medal at the olympic games? Think really hard ….. of course I know the answer. She came from the Nigerian Police (remember that mummy and daddy said that when thieves hear gunshots,they run and jump outta the way cos the ‘good’ guys are coming?!)and she heard a gunshot!!!

A Series Of Random Events

Watching the movie, A-Team the other day and I gleaned something from it like we should from everything in life.

Hannibal Smith said he doesn’t believe in random events or coincidences. I thought, you know that’s saying something but really there are random events jo. Can anyone explain to me why a cat crossed the road this morning?

So, yesterday I randomly opened Facebook on a PC for the first time in ages and I saw a post by Tolu on my news feed and I randomly read it and I was both touched and impressed with his views. I pinged him on bbm (I added him on my bb because I randomly joined a group he was in) and we got into a conversation.

This was all totally random, I mean there’s nothing else to do but use your phone these days. He tells me about his post on Justin Bieber (http://fizakanee.blogspot.com/2010/08/legacy-allow-him-allow-them-allow-us.html) and  I go check it out. The post got me thinking and I shared my views with him which meant another conversation ensued and on and on.

Now a Series of Random Events have led to me being motivated to explore my potential in different areas. Over these past few weeks, I have had a series of ‘randoms’. A random phone conversation here, a chance meeting with an individual there and each ‘random’ has led to me being inspired, motivated and altered my views.

Hopefully, over the next couple of days, weeks and so on, I will be able to share Life’s experiences as viewed by me and then maybe, Just maybe,

These ‘randoms’ can live on paper or this blog and touch lives. So…

For those days and nights that felt like a mistake and the good ones, I hope I continue to glean ‘Valuables’ from them. Every once in a while we meet people who leave an indelible mark on our lives. Just like I have but more on that later.

On that note, I ask God to send more ‘randoms’ my way because as Hannibal Smith said “There are no random events and I don’t believe in coincidences”.

Everything is predestined, All events offer us a learning curve,

For everything that happens, does for a reason,

Everything has a purpose!

Let’s Go!

First Post!

There has to be some grand way to write your first post on a new blog,

and I’ve been thinking about that, You know those words that will help me gather a readership.

I have started a blog before but I was too shy to share, I created this one because I believe in fresh starts and new beginnings.

Now I’m just a regular kid with regular problems but someone told me I was special, Still trying to wrap my mind around that.

Let’s see if  I’ve got a way with words and if I write better than you can ever feel,

Yup, I borrowed that last line but

Hey, Tolu told me copy and paste works in real life!

Welcome!
