Temporary Head Damage...

You know that scene in Wanted where Angelina Jolie’s character is standing on a train, and she ducks just before it goes under an overhead bridge? Cool, no? I’ve been wanting to do something like that. Mm-hmmmmmm.

This actually doesn’t have anything to do with Angelina Jolie or Wanted. I was going to write something sensible, to prove that I can defy all the pre-exam pressure and blog myself to happiness like the rock star that I think I am. Apparently that’s a little too high for me. I’m reeling from the after-effects of dumsor, sleeplessness and about a million hours of IAs (because what you heard is true. Teachers are mean.). Oh, why? Because of one degree. Do they want to kill us? Are they being altruistic and saving us the hustle of job hunting?

Oh.

And now I may have THD, or Temporary Head Damage. At least it’s not PHD, or Permanent Head Damage, but if they don’t stop driving us like then times slaves eh, hm.

Plus I’ve also just come away from a sort of interrogation. Apparently something I did very casually ‘entered’ some people paa, and I’ve just been trying to clear my pretty name. Hm. This life. Gets me all philosophical. ßAutocorrect just changed that.

I’m beat, but just so no one will say I can’t stick to my own rule of delivering every Friday, I’ll post this…thing. (I mean, technically, this is a blog post.)

Thank you to all my commenters. I can’t say how grateful I am to Sis Nancy, Mizvee, AK, Mawuena, Dzidzor…oh, who am I missing?...Bethel, Dela, Michael, Maame Adjoa…thank you all so much. I’m always happy to see your comments. You make me happy.

And to everyone who’s ever shared my blog/ post on their Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Whatsapp, wherever, word of mouth, thank you thank you. And all the ghost readers, thanks. You bloat my page views. But someday leave a comment. Even if it’s just an insult you leave kraa let your name be on my page. (If you leave an insult eh…)

And to all those who make staunch promises that they’ll comment and don’t…

I’m hungry oh. And tired. I should sleep. And eat. Not necessarily in that order. Maybe together. (Ei. I’m typing mistakes papa. If it ends up looking sensible then I owe it to Microsoft Word Spellcheck.) Just so this isn’t so short, and…utterly pointless, I’ll leave you with the awesome guys I spent Christmas with. I know, maybe the timing’s a little off, but some of us have eternal Christmas of the mind. So there.

Ei wait when I was coming home I saw this signboard that said something like ‘Best Art,’ or ‘Great Art,’…something that was a superlative, very extreme. And next to it was this drawing. I looked at the drawing, then at the signboard again, and could only think, ‘Have our standards really fallen that low?’

There was something else too… ahh, yes. I was supposed to be learning today and I ended up reading some story I’d written a while ago. (No, Becky, I’ve not changed.) Rather enjoyed it. And after the paper I continued with a Stephen King. Don’t read Stephen King. He’s very…twisted. Only similar minds can enjoy his work. I’m not calling myself a similar mind, but…don’t read it.

Okay. I’m going. Chelsea and United meet tomorrow. (Wow. I actually wrote Chelse a and Untied meat tomorrow.) It’s one of those events I wish I could just sleep through, being both a Chelsea and United sympathizer.

Ah, the world is an unfair place.

Alright. I’m out. Don’t want THD becoming PHD.

Someone owes me chocolate. Just saying.

If this is your first time reading this blog, well…don’t judge me. I’m often lucid.

P.S. if there are no typos, I owe it all to Autocorrect. If there are typos, remember this: I love you. If there are typos and wrong sentence structures, I…really, now. I can’t love you anymore than I already do. Just go with it. 



You too spend your Christmas with them some.

Hellooo. *waves* By now you know that when I start a post like that it’s going to be neither wordy nor sensible. I should probably stop shooting myself in the foot like that. About a month ago I showed my Mom a drawing. It was a hyper-realistic work of art made (by Kelvin Okafor; check him out on Twitter if you can) that had me drop my jaws. It was amazing! I saved it, and went to my old girl to get her to appreciate it with me. She squinted at my phone and said, ‘You now you don’t draw again.’ Ah. Like, just appreciate the thing eh. In her defense, the last time I completed a  drawing   was in April. I know. My record is iiimpressive. So… I drew. Again. Yaay. I’m sorry she doesn’t have fingers. Seriously. (Took about three hours—some of whose minutes I spent running around my hall, going to the kitchen and saying out loud that I was hungry, dressing up to go and buy roasted plantain, returning home in frustration because there was non

Raise Your Hand!

Raise your hand if 2016 has been the worst year of your life. Someone on Twitter captured it perfectly in a tweet: ‘2016 has been some like joke like play year oh.’ Perfectly . This year has been one of the most shocking, in all my life, to be mild. Swinging into 2016 I had a sort of vision, of how the year was going to go. No, I wasn’t praying that there’d be showers of gold, and unicorns, and rainbows. In 2015 some…foundations had been laid, and I figured that this year they sort of would be built upon. Things would follow a logical progression. In my subconscious I had a somewhat defined picture of how the year was going to go. But, it was like when this picture was forming, this was 2016.  Oh, you have no idea what’s coming to you! I didn’t. A lot happened this year that left me shaken, and broken, and utterly confused, and sometimes just downright mad. The jolly-yet-realistic expectations my mind had drawn up just took one look at me, gave me a lops

Our Favourite Dreamer #1: Sold

Joseph’s story is undoubtedly one of the most moving tales ever. For my roasted plantain loving friends unfamiliar with it, I shall attempt to reproduce a short version of the story’s first half without sounding like a CRS class. (We’ll take a broken down, closer view soon, I promise.) Joseph was born to Jacob, when Jacob was already very old. Joseph was also the son of Rachel, the one among Jacob’s wives and concubines that he actually loved, who’d been childless till then. Naturally, that gave Young Joe brownie points in his father’s eyes. Now brownie points would be no problem had Joe been an only son, but he had ten older brothers who felt cheated of their father’s love. It doesn’t end there. Because Joe was a godly, obedient kid, possibly the most obedient of his father’s children, Jacob had him check his brothers for bad behavior when they sent the sheep out to graze. His brothers could not get over being supervised by their youngest brother, and have him tell on them
