I feel inside I wanna fly, fly high across the big blue sky...
Beside you..

We would slowly pass the blue moon by and maybe baby fly beyond the sky...
If you want to..

Come on baby please don’t be shy, on this magical journey you and I
We’ll make this fairytale come alive.

He trys (3)

Sunday, 9:32am…
She is looking around. She does not catch a sight of him.
She walks to the car park when the church service is over. She sees him next to the car.
“Why are you doing this? All I want to know is what really happened that day.” She says.
She shakes her head as he explains. She just doesn’t believe him.


Sunday, 2:18pm…
He is playing a video game with his friend. He does this to clear his head.
His friend realizes the problem. He secretly invites a girl over to cheer him up.
He used to have a crush on her. He realizes she is even prettier than she used to be.
He has the chance to kiss her when they are alone. He turns away because he remembered HER.


Sunday, 7:35pm…
She finds out about the misunderstanding. She feels so bad, she can’t even call him.
She decides to go talk to him. She feels she should do this in person.
She stops by the bakery and buys him some pies. She selects his favourite.
It’s to be a surprise so she walks straight to his door without calling.



Sunday, 7:50pm…

He is surprised to see her. He can tell things are good from her infectious smile.
He listens to her apology. He is happy they patched things up because he missed that smile.
“Everything I do is to make things better for me and you”. He tells her exactly how he feels.
He sends her home. The last words and the long kiss goodnight seemed like the first time, breathless.

He trys (2)


Saturday, 10:00am…
She wakes up with him on her mind. She reaches for her phone and turns in on.
She wants to talk to him but she wants him to feel her pain.
But she misses him and is getting worried because he hasn’t called.
Now she realizes she may be the one who actually did something terribly wrong.

He has just returned from taking his sister to Saturday classes and noticed her texts.
He read all the apologies and managed to smile. He loved her very much.
All he wanted to do was make her happy, she had the best smile.
Things are fine, he had forgiven her. Now it was time to kiss and make up.


Saturday, 3:36pm…
She types as her facebook status, “I’m happy my boo and I had a great lunch.”
In seconds a comment pops up and says, “Doris, why weren’t you at Champs with Mark?”
She misunderstands, so he went without her. He didn’t even mention it at all!
Her mind is racing, “he deliberately delayed so he could go with someone else”


Saturday, 11:17pm…

He called to say goodnight but is arguing with her about the night before. It’s exhausting.
“I didn’t go to Champs. I turned around and came home after your text.” He explained.
He didn’t know what else to say to her. Her attitude was beginning to itch.
He can’t bare it anymore, he tells her the truth, he is tired and wants to sleep.

GOD GIVES


God gives to everyone but only those who have faith in him
See his gifts.

God gives to everyone what he deserves but only those who trust
Him know its enough.

God gives to everyone at the time He deems it best but only those who
believe him know how to wait.

God gives to everyone because he loves us but only those who love him back
Appreciate the life, the food, the light and the ability to read this.

Grand Pa’s words


"Daniel, I'll be back soon ok? Take good care of Grand Pa oh. Don't just stay in your room, have you heard?!" My mum screamed at the top of her voice. "Ok, I've heard." I shrugged. Grand Pa did just three things all day: watch TV, talk and fart. The latter is my least favourite. All I had to do was turn on the TV and I would be free till mum got back. I had so much to do, like edit my CV, chat online small oh yes and play football manager. I can't believe I lost 2-0 to Reading. Now I'm 6th on the league table and time is not exactly on …oh right, back to the story.

Grand Pa didn't mind being left alone; I mean he lived alone for goodness sakes. I turned on the TV to his favourite news channel and sneaked upstairs. When I turned on my computer, I went straight to Facebook to see what was happening there. Just then a chat window popped up. It was Akosua, my annoying ex-girlfriend. She wanted to know what I was doing that night. I said nothing and you won't believe her reply. "Oh, if I wasn't working late we could have gone to watch a movie." I thought to myself, "So what's the point?" Then I typed, "That's rather unfortunate." Then she asked the same irritating question she asks all the time. "So have you got a job now? It's been long oh." I felt like giving a dirty e-slap. Just when I started typing my response, the lights went out. Oh no!

I heard a growl from downstairs and remembered Grand Pa was still there. I dragged my feet as I went to the hall. "Grand Pa, should I bring you some newspapers to read?" I asked politely. He turned to look at me and nodded. I grabbed as many as I could from the kitchen and dumped them on the center table and he grabbed one. "These are old. I read the paper every day, you know." He complained. This wasn't good. He glanced through a few more and dropped them back on the table with a squeaky fart. "Ma boy, sit down and let's talk." He finally said. I couldn't say I didn't see that coming.

I sat on the chair next to him and prayed mom would be home soon. "How is the job hunting going?" He asked excitedly. I couldn't help thinking about Akosua. "It's good. At the last interview a certain man asked me to better my CV so I'm doing just that." I responded. Grand Pa smiled and crossed his leg. "So will he hire you when you do that?" He asked again. "No, but he was advising me for the next job I go after." I said, slightly irritated. I started losing my patience when he shook his head. "Grand Pa, getting a job now is not as easy as it was in your time!" I shot at him. He didn't seem offended at all. It seemed as though he expected that reaction. "Algebra and atomic physics are also not as easy as they were in my time but students are still passing it. You know why? Because the basic things have not changed and they know them." He said calmly. Ok so what he said makes sense but what was his point? This old man feels he's so smart, competing against a fresh university graduate. "Grand Pa, when you graduated from the university how many were you?" I asked and patiently waited for him to recollect. "Oh we were about three hundred." He said proudly. "You know how many we were? Two thousand! So how do we all get jobs? You can't compare three hundred to two thousand." I stated boldly. Now what did he have to say?

Grand Pa didn't hesitate to respond. "Ma boy, we didn't have as many banks, hospitals, NGO's and even government offices as we do today but that isn't the point. What exactly would you want in a job?" Mtcheeew this old man kwraa he always found a way out. "Money: I want money to be able to cater to my needs." I answered. "You mean your wants. Your needs are food, shelter and clothing but those have been taken care of right? He enquired. "Well yes for now, but there comes a time when a man needs to fend for himself and his own nuclear family." I replied. My grandfather started clapping. "Yes indeed. That's the best point you have made all day" He said and I smiled.

He took a sip of water and went on talking. "I think looking for a job is like looking for a girlfriend." I paused for a second and burst out with laughter. No disrespect but that sounded like the silliest thing I had ever heard. He waited for me to finish laughing and went on. "You may or may not get one based on how you go about it." I had a thousand questions to ask so I started. "Ok let's try something. I mention a step in girl hunting and you relate it to job hunting." He nodded so I went on. "You need to have money to get a girl. Now let's hear the translation." He smiled and replied. "Money is equivalent to qualification. Even though I don't agree with your statement, that the answer." That was an easy one. Now let's play hard ball!

"You need to call her often and shower her with gifts." I stated. "Hmmm, I guess we used to do things differently but the point is the same; to stand out from the rest. I need not explain." He said. I asked three more questions and his answers were flawless. This old man really knew what he was talking about. Just then mum walked in. She stared at us suspiciously as she dropped the car keys on the table. "What are you guys doing?" She finally asked. "The lights are out so Grand Pa and I decided to have a talk." I answered. She smiled broadly and that was when I noticed the TV had been on for almost ten minutes. I equally didn't notice the farts he had been releasing either.

Grand Pa went on when mum went to the kitchen. "When you want a girlfriend you think about how you want her to be. You have an image in your head. When you meet someone who fits, you go after her. Daniel, what type of girl do you like?" He asked. Oh my goodness, I was discussing girls with my grandfather!(Let's keep this between me and you) "Errrm I like funny, down to earth and patient girls. She shouldn't nag too much, she has to be pretty and she should be stylish too but not slutty. I like girls with long hair, she should be well educated, at least to my level…" I listed, getting a little carried away. "Ok let's end there. There are millions of girls out there but not many will fit your criteria." He explained. I began to see where he was going with this. "Just like jobs." I said. "Exactly, but you want that particular one so it might take you a long time to find it. You see, like getting a girl you have several choices: 1. to keep searching for that special one. 2. to take one that doesn't really fit your taste. 3. to create one to be exactly what you want." He explained. "I'm not sure I understand the third choice in relation to a job." I said, clearly confused. He took another sip of water, creating unnecessary suspense.

"It stands for creating a job for and by yourself, starting a business to be self-empowered. This is the hardest option but the most fulfilling. The choice is yours really. It is not bad to work for money but it's better to work for fulfillment."

nEver


Maybe we’ll meet again, maybe never

Maybe we were never meant to be together

We knew this day will come but we just closed our eyes

Though we can never be forever

Baby we will never hope for a never

Many days and many years go by

In another life, in another time, when the stars align I’ll see you

There’s no need to cry, because our hopes are high, way up in the sky

So when the time is right I know I’ll see you

…………….Never is not ever………………………

They say


They say if I work hard I will get to the top,
So logically those at the bottom didn’t work hard.

They say if I go to school I’ll be important in future,
So logically those that didn’t go to school are not important.

They say if I use my talents I’ll be famous,
So logically those that are not famous don’t use their talents.

Don’t they know about people born into wealth, educated failures and untalented people getting picked over those who are? Don’t tell me about equality because we can never all be equal. Sometimes some are favoured others aren’t.

I guess they never see it that way...

Random debate


This piece is completely random. Don't even have a topic for this. I just hope that as I type, something will pop up in my head. Wow and it just did. I'm gonna type without pausing. I probably might make spelling mistakes so be warned of typos. lol. Ok I lied coz I just paused to read someone's pop us chat message from facebook. That just goes to show that what people write may not always be the truth! So now I'm going to spend the next few words trying to convince you about something you
will disagree about. Hmmm, I hope you think education is more important than make-up. If you don't then you are either a beauty queen or a hooker. lol. No disrespect!

Ok, wish me luck, here it goes. People say education is enlightenment. They say to be able to live a good life one must be educated, both formally and informally. The same people say make-up is just something you use to improve your physical appearance and that is it. It has no relevance really. We can live without it and it's even an insult to compare it to education which is what makes the world go round. Make up brings no financial gain, no positive change to the environment and is just a form of beautification or rather a way to HIDE one's faults.

Fair enough, let's hear from the other panel. Make-up, conturary to what the so called 'educated' think is not just coats of colour and texture applied to the skin but a form of confidence and force of transformation. Anyone who applies make up and does it well will immediately feel a wave of confidence and will naturally change her persona both physically, mentally and socially. Now, it is true that 'knowing' or education is a important but knowing what to do and not having the drive or confidence to do it is sad. I'm sure you are thinking, 'but the confidence without education is also useless.' No it's not, because confidence builds respect and regard. Why do you think most bad girls get all the girls. It's because they are confident! And maybe not literally but they put on a coat which is indeed make-up.

Team education seemed a little surprised at the strong talk from the opposite team but had this come back. Make up builds confidence and respect but what are those going to be used for? What use is a beauty queen if she hasn't got brains? She's merely a piece of art. Education tells you what to and not to do. It let's you know how to live life even without confidence, education teach you the ways of life. All make-up does to mislead young girls to think beauty is all they need.

Wow, this was a strong punch and I can see team make-up really felt this but they refused to give up. In the first place art is one of the greatest gifts to this world so for a beauty queen to be an art piece is not at all a demerit. Education is basically the ideas to several people on how to do things. These people I believe had individual consciences. With time, they put together several single and group thougts. This goes to show that each human being has the ability to survive on his own. You believe you need to know this and that because a group of people are telling you so. You might be saying 'what is this person talking about. Without the internet would I even be reading this?' Well honestly without the internet would your 14 year old brother or son have broken his virginity or would $2800 have been stolen from Jason King's credit card? All I'm saying is this. Everyrhing has a merit and a demerit. For every thing you choose you sacrife another. Education is not as brilliant as you think.

I am speech less. Didn't see this coming! Oh my goodness, it's so unfortunate our time has run out. We will definately be bringing part two straight to you! This debate will not be over until someone wins!

To be continued!
