Ok, has anyone heard of the recene trouble that the social online site MySpace just got into? Apparently, a stupid 14 year old girl was stupid enough to give her name and number to some guy she never met. She even went ahead and met him and allegedly got raped by him. Well duh! Now, she and her gold-diggin parents are suing MySpace for $30, 000,000 (30 million dollars). They claim they are not doing it for the money, but to avoid the situation from happening to someone else's daughter. Like hell they are!
If the girl truly got raped, then I'm sorry 2 hear so, but whose fault is it? I'm not on MySpace and I won't ever be, so it's not as if I'm on their side, but damn, how can they be blamed for a girl's stupidity??? If homegirl wants to be stupid, then let her be stupid and ready to suffer the consequences. What was MySpace supposed to do? Be her bodyguard while she went out with the guy? I don't think MySpace should be held responsible for someone's imprudent behavior. I hope she has learned her lesson. If not, she can always join another social site and give the person her number again. Dumb ass lil girls.
I know I sound really pissed (almost as if the 30 million dollars will be coming out of my pocket, right? Well, I'm not really pissed. Just irritated. People always wanna take advantage of everything. That girl and her parents better keep their job and I hope they don't get shit but court fees. Nonsense!
Well, enough of the ranting.........
Well, that's it 4 now anyways. I'm @ the library tryna write my book and/or an article. We go yarn later.

Ireti's Birthday Party
On saturday, I went for Ireti's birthday. I'm sure you're wondering who Ireti is... well, lemme tell you. Ireti is Funmi's junior sista and we were celebrating her one yr birthday. Now, I know what you are thinking. You're thinking "Funmie has a one year old sista? How old is Funmie? Better yet, how old is Funmie's mother?" Well, I'll tell u this much. Ireti wasn't planned; she is the beautiful result of uhm.... I really don't know wat 2 call it. All I know is that she is very welcome. She's beautiful and we all love her. She's so adorable (unlike Funmie).
Anyways, I was the MC @ the birthday party, so I was really enjoying my hours of fame as I talked boldly into the microphone. Twas a good feeling. A few times I even thought about releasing an album right there on the spot...cause you know I sing so well, I would give Aretha Franklin a run for her money.... hahaha, I wish.
The party was fun sha. The kids enjoyed their games and food. I'm sure if it were up to them, they will come back the following day to continue the party. Well, maybe next year.
I'm still writing my book, though I have not written a whole lot for a while now. I'm on page 113 right now...and still counting. Anyways, make I carry my kaya go. We go yarn later.
Gatz 2 go now.

I'm Swamped
It seems like 4eva since I last updated this blog. The reason is because I am swamped. No, no, no, I do not have a job... well, actually, I kinda sorta have one.
I have been writing my book...I'm really tryna finish it (I've said it so many times that I'm staring 2 sound like a broken record). Anyways, I have been writing it and really concentrating on it, so I've had no time 2 write any other thing. Even though I'm usually multi-tasking, I can't seem 2 be able 2 multi-task in terms of writing. As in, I can't seem 2 write more than one thing @ once. If I'm going thru a phase of writing articles, I can't write anything else, and now that I am writing my book, I can't write an article of even update my blog. Oh well.
Either way sha, I have 2 write articles (though I haven't) and I still have 2 write my book and even update my blog. Nna nawa o. This isn't easy. I have a job where my imagination and creativity is wat guarantees me being paid.... not that I'm paid, but u sha understand, right?

5 AM
It's 5 AM and I am up updating my blog. Why am I up in the first place? Because I was writing my book. Like I mentioned in my last post, I really wanna finish it immediately. I started it since January, so I don't wanna drag it any longer. I have been praying for a lap top, and now I have one, so I know I have no other excuse for not writing it.
I am sooooooo freaking sleepy right now, but I still feel the need 2 complete this post. Tomorrow, I'll try and wake up early, so I can go to the library and do some more writing. Maybe I'll see a movie after that - I dunno. But first and foremost, I would try and go 2 the library. That is, if I wake up on time, of course.
My tv is on and they are showing some stock program. Can you believe there is a program for stocks and bonds? Well, I guess that's why it shows at 5am. Who the hell wants 2 watch a show about stocks and bonds...especially at 5am? In fact, I'm gonna mute the volume right now. There, I did it. I can hear the birds chirpping happily outside and I am still yet 2 sleep. Nawa o... I don kolo finish for real. I don kolo final. My neck is starting 2 get stiff. It hurts. I need 2 lie down and sleep.
5:05AM
Alright, alright, I'm goin 2 bed. Miss me while I'm gone.
Still 5:05AM
Now 5:06AM
Bye

Dinner-Date Wit My Family
So i finally went for the long awaited date with my entire family - yes all ten of us. I was really scared of the what the result of our date will be. You know how it is in every family; every one thinks everyone else is the black sheep of the family.
Anyways, we went to an all you can eat buffet, which i was happy with cause I knew what I was gonna eat - I eat the same thing (mashed potato, lil pieces of steak, hot roll (bread) and a huge bowl of sliced peaches). I cannot count how many times I had to stand up. First time, I took the three kids to get their food, and of course, they could not decide what they wanted to eat. The two kids from Nigeria kept frowning their faces at almost anything. The faces they made were embarrassing the hell outta me. I kept saying "stop doing that to your face!" Nna nawa o. I don't need to tell you that other kids will definitely be making fun of them when they start school. I feel for them oh.
As soon as we sit down, someone will say "I don't want it anymore." Ah ah! Oh well. I sha made sure that I ate my fill, even though I probably lost half of the food I ate because I had to constantly stand up and walk around to get something else for one of the kids. Those children sef.
I've been working on my book - thank God. Simeon, read my book (well, part of it) and really loved it, and that really helped me. Encouraged me a lot. Funmi and Ibukun have also read part of it, and they love it. It is so encouraging when they tell me how good and funny it is. It makes me wanna work harder to finish it. I really wanna finish it by June 30th 2006, so pray for me that I finish it.
Well, I'm really tired, so I'm gonna go to bed now.
Good nite.

Bored Shitless
I seriously cannot think of anything 2 write about. The only reason I am writing is because I wanna update my blog, but in reality I have nothing 2 write about. I have been writing my book (if that's an update).
Anyways, how have u been? I'm sure u can tell that I have nothing 2 write about. I keep typing words, but I am not really writing about anything.
I'm back @ my aunt's house. And guess what? I offered to come and clean the house. Can u believe that? I actually asked my aunt if she wanted me 2 come and clean the house. Of course, she said yea. Oh well, I'm done cleaning now. Just took a shower and freshened up. Feels oh so good.
Life is an interesting journey, you know. One day somethng is there, and the next day it isn't. One day something/someone means one thing, and the next day, it/the person means nothing. Nawa o. Odikwa serious.
Oh well. That's the end of this little tale.
I'll hit u up later.
Oh. If you care to know, I'm going on a date with my entire family - yes, all 10 of us. We're eating out.
I just realised the other day that I have a huge family in USA. I mean, in one house alone, there are 8 of them. I'm not even counting the ones that are here in Maryland, but in separate parts. Am I Blessed or wat?
Aiiight.... I'll be gone 4 now. Be back tomorrow.

Break-Up
Today, I went 2 see the movie "Break-Up" staring Jennifer Aniston and Vince Can't-Remember-His-Last-Name, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a really, really nice movie. I mean, I knew it would be good, but I did not know it would be that good. It was a romantic-tragic-comedy. Okay, some people might not see it as being tragic, but I do because of the ending. I cried so much men... but it was worth it sha; I think.
Anyways, I'm not gonna tell every1 the ending... don't wanna ruin it... though I am tempted.
I just got done reading "Chasing Destiny" by Eric Jerome Dickey... God, I love that man. He is Blessed, and I hope he wakes up and thanks God everyday 4 his Blessings. He is one Blessed man. Oh. In case you're wondering, the book is awesome! Always is. I trust EJD. I have read all his book, and I don't even bother reading d back or inside cover 2 know wat it's about. I know it will b good. Needless 2 say, I cried me a river in this book.
@ the end of his book, he advertised the website of his friend and writer, Lolita Files. Of course, I had 2 check it out. She's another good writer. Last year, I read a book from her called "Takes Like Chicken", and I liked it. Anyways, I learnt of a new book from her called "Sex. Lies. Murder. Fame". You know I had 2 go get it from the library.
B4 I read it sha, I want 2 first write a lil of my own book. I cannot become a national bestseller by reading other people's books. I doubt if there is an award 4 a 'national bestreader'... you know?
Oh well, make I end am here 4 now sha. Hope u had a good read.

Anything But Cute
Finally, I've brought my butt back home. It wasn't easy leaving them (especially my 4 yr old nephew, Toby - the love of my life), but I did it. He kept asking me why I was going and where I was going to; I don't know why we must go thru this every time I have 2 leave. It's like he has selective amnesia. He remembers every time I promise 2 buy him stuff like cookies, pizza & chips, but he neva remembers when I say "Toby, I don't live here... I have my own house. I have 2 go home but I will be back."
Anyways, yesterday, my mom took Toby, the other kids, and their parents (my uncle and his wife) on a cruise and decided 2 cruise them 2 our house. I just knew I would not like the state of the house when I got back, and boy, was I right.
There was popcorn all over the floor in the living. :ANGRY: There was pop corn on the couch :ANGRIER: My lil toys (buncha lil stuff I faithfully collect) were on the floor :AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!: I don't play games wit my stuff. They may be family but it's in their best interest 2 back off my stuff!
My mom thought it was cute and funny how they wit my stuff. Wat is wrong wit my mother sef? Doesn't she know how anal I am when it gets 2 moving my stuff around? The way this woman was talking, I was starting 2 think she was switched by her not-so-evil clone. I mean, where was all this comin from? Don't these children know I'm older than all three of them put 2gether? See me see wahala o.
So b4 I even got a chance 2 do anything else, I had 2 first vacuum the whole house. Actually, first, I packed up my toys (or wateva I would call those things) and took them back 2 my room, then I vacuumed.... face swollen up the whole time. I can deal wit the pop on the floor and on the couch (I have no problem cleaning up; I always do anyway), but I have a problem with ANYONE (regardless of age) touching my stuff and not puttin it back. I'd prefer that my stuff not b touched, but if it must, please put it back the way u found it. I don't even like the comforter/quilt/blanket on my bed 2 be touched. Yes, that's how anal I am...and much more sef.
Well, everything has been taken care of sha. I really don't get angry easily and when I do get angry, I am not capable of staying angry 4 long. Of wat use is it anyway?
That's it 4 2nite. We'll continue 2morrow, ok?

My Butt Broke My Fall
I had 2 sit in the children's room with a cane to get them 2 go 2 bed. I sat there reading a novel, while they tried to play the playa. They tried 2 act like they were sleeping even though I knew they were not sleeping. Anyways, that's besides the point.
When they finally slept, I left their room gracefully feeling like a winner. I was sashaying down the steps in my slippery slipass (don't ask why), and then next thing I knew, I slipped and slid down two steps and landed right on my ass. Thank God 4 the flesh on my bones oh.... or else... who knows? Anyways, that was how I came tumbling down and I scratched my left hand. Nothing serious. It happened so fast that I did not have the time 2 stop or break the fall.
Lesson learnt: don't wear slippass on the steps... 2 dangerous.
Anyways sha... that's all I wanted 2 talk about.
I was supposed 2 be goin home this nite, but they have somehow convinced me 2 stay another nite. I betta be home 2morrow nite cause the thing don tire me finish. I'm in need of a good sleep... and shower. I don't like my aunt's shower; the water runs too small...like urine. Gets on my nerves. The shower takes too long. Plus I can't shower 4 as long as I can, so you can see it's a pretty frustrating thing goin on around me.
Anyways....
That's it 4 2day

My Pissitivity Is In The Red Light District
I woke up this morning and did the regular job of Ekaite the house gal. I cooked, I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. I know I have said it so many times, but I just wanna say it again that these kids are drivin me insane. I have more advils in the past three days than I take in a month. Nawa o, I really have 2 think well b4 having kids (especially since I want 5). Chei!
My aunt's house usually has four people (my aunt, her 4-yr old son, my other aunt, and my grandma), but now it has eight people - 10 if you count me and my mom who have been here since Friday....in the name of welcoming the new family. Well, I don ready 2 pack my kaya and go home. I'm done welcomin people abeg.
This afternoon, every1 (xcept the kids) went 2 bed. The kids were supposed 2 be sleeping, but they kept jumping up and down the bed, running up and down the stairs, and of course, shouting up and down the house. Every1 was irritated. You know how it feels when you're sleepy but can't sleep because something is hindering you. Anyways, I was sleepy too, but out of the goodness of my heart, I decided to watch the kids so that every1 else could sleep while I remained sleep deprived. I had 2 take a cane and sit by their (kids') door and watch them night a watch-guard. Of course, seeing the cane made them remain on the bed and eventually fall asleep.
After that, I went in2 the kitchen and cleaning up.... again! My aunt bought a lot of disposable plates, cups and cutleries, but I wonder how come the sink is always full of dirty dishes. It remains an enigma...that I am not really in the mood 2 solve.
Anyways, here's why I am actually pissed: this evening, the kids ate and made a mess everywhere. While they were eating, I decided to power up my laptop (4 the first time 2day o!) and what did my aunt say? She had the liver 2 tell me I have not been doing anything. She said all I did was stay on the computer all day. See me see wahala o! She seemed 2 have 4gotten so soon how she was sleeping soundly while I was sweating like a nama in the kitchen. She seemed 2 have 4gotten how I went 2 bed late, woke up early, and remained awake while every1 else took naps. Let's not 4get I have been the housegirl by default o. Na so so clean clean I dey do since. Ah ah, which kin wahala be this? I didn't even write my book sef. Nothing. My head dey nack like say band dey practice 4 inside. Anyways, my housegirl profession ends 2morrow cause I am going home.
I am so pissed right now that I have promised not 2 come back here, but I know I will. Of course, I will. I will probably even be the one 2 call and ask if they need my help. Of course, I already know the answer will be 'yes'. I won't feel comfortble stayin @ home and lettin them do all the work...or maybe I will, who knows? Body no be firewood abeg.
We go babble later sha.... :KISSES:

These Children Sef!
My brothers and sisters wey dey 4 internet...see as them wan turn me into Ekaite o! (no offense 2 whoeva actually bears that name). I cooked, I cleaned, I washed, I swept, I moped, I did it all. I yelled @ the kids, I slept on a recliner last nite (my neck is still stiff), I screamed, I shouted, my head ached... it all happened. See as this small children wan carry my head do sme-sme oh! The lil 5 yr old boy from Naija musta thought I was the house girl. That's the only reason he was talking 2 me like I was his mate. He betta recognize. I guess some1 mighta told him later cause he started calling me aunty after a while.... now, that's more like it. Though it doesn't change the fact that they were driving me insane!!!
So yes oh, I slept on the recliner last night with 9 other people in the house: my mom, my aunt, another aunt, 3 little boys, my auncle, his wife, and my grandma....in this America o! I'm pretty sure that was illegal. Abi how u take see am?
Anyways, my aunt tried 2 convince me to spend the nite there again and I refused oh. Ah ah... abi na melecine? Abeg, I miss my bed. It's an old, nameless mattrass, but I have always found it to be the best. Besides, I'll take anything over sleeping in that house again. They r all my blood relatives oh, but abeg, too much relatives is not good 4 my blood. The thing just dey scratch my body.
This is something I would have 2 discuss with my husband (when I get married, of course). I don't think I can tolarate too many relatives oh... haba! And my relatives (and husband's relatives) betta not think of comin 2 my house and telling me how 2 handle my own marriage... e no go work o. We would also talk about littering the house because I cannot take much of that either. It absolutely irritates me when some1 just litters the house... mba o... it won't work @ all sef. I guess that's why it's good to live with your partner b4 marriage, but mehn, as much as I wanna know wat type of man he is, I still don't wanna live with any man b4 marriage. I'm not gonna say I neva will, but I know I would rather not do so. Anyways, let a man propose first b4 I start wondering if I should live with him or not. In fact, let him even invite me 2 live wit him sef b4 I start planning how 2 decline his offer. Don't mind me and my fantasies jare...
I'm home now sha. I wanna go look @ some traditional outfits my mother's friend sent, so I can pick one of my choice. You know say man must not live by bread (english outfits) alone.
Good nite o
We go yarn tomorrow.

Very Irritable
Hmmmmm... make I tell una how my day dey go dey go dey go...
Like I told u b4, my uncle is moving here from Naija with his wife and two kids, right? Well, 2day is the day and I am at my aunt's house right now. My mother has gone 2 the airport wit my aunt 2 pick them up. When I came, my aunt told me to help them do some cleaning; according 2 her, they had done most of the work, so all I had 2 do was vacuum the basement...and her room... and Toby's room... and my grandma's room... and my other aunt's room... oh, and the living room upstairs too. Hot damn, that's the whole house. Anyways, I just said ok and carried the vacuum cleaner downstairs 2 start my J-O-B.
B4 all this sef, I was already irritable (as per ms. flow now), so I didn't even wanna be in any one's face. But damn, the house was hot. Do u know wat happens when you put an agitated woman with mood swings in a hot house fulla kids that wanna ask redundant questions and cry 4 every lil thing? That one na land mine o! 4 real, I was just a ticking time bomb. All I needed was some1 2 say the wrong thing...and of course they did... those yeye children. I yelled @ them so much that I was even feelin 4 them, but abeg their own wahala sef don pass my own tolerance capacity.
Anyways, we r just here sittin down and waiting 4 them 2 come back. Lemme confess 2 u: even though I am yet 2 see my uncle and his family, I am more than ready 2 pack my kaya and go back home abeg. I'm even sleepy sef... mmmmm.
Well, I'm gonna stop here 4 now and I will update u later when they come back. My God, I'm actually dreading it.
Ciao

Miss Flo' Don Carry Her Kaya Come Again
Yes oh, miss flo has finally come again. I had been expectin her since friday and she finally decided 2 show herself yesterday. I dunno wat makes her think she can just show up anytime she wishes 2...I mean, wat if I have plans? Anyways, thats by the way sha.
Today is the 2nd day so my discomfort has started (and it's my heaviest day too). My waist feels like there is a ton of bricks pulling it down (imagine that). I have somehow mutated in2 a real bitch... I am soooo not in the mood, and this would be the wrong time 4 any1 to mess wit me. I'm just angry 4 no particular reason and I am losing my mind! You shuld see my face; I look so evil.
Sam came 2 interview me 2day 4 some documentary he's makin bout naija men and women. I wonder if I did good - considering my mood. I was even dressed in all black 2 match the mood I was in; actually I shulda been dressed in red - considering the condition I'm in... shey u get?
My God! Even as I sit here on the couch, my waist is on fire. I can even begin 2 describe wat I'm feeling like right now; the best way 2 describe it is 4 u to feel it urself. Geeeeez!!! Why do I have 2 suffer this every month?
My uncle is from Naija tomorrow with his family. I guess I shuld be happy, but ms. flow is cloudin my judgement right now.
Well, I have a lap top now, so I cannot come up with any excuse 4 why I cannot finish my book. I'm gonna sign off now and try 2 do some writing. Pray 4 me, please. Thanks.
Bye.

Date Wit The New Family
2day Sola and I were supposed 2 go visit her mother-inlaw-to-be for cookout, but she was too tired cause she cooked last nite (she's a caterer and a damn good one too. Yeap, her food is awesome!) Anyways sha, we started the journey @ 12pm and decided 2 stop by Frank's house (Frank is Sola's fiance). We were there for a while and we had a lotta fun.
Then from there Frank proceeded 2 go 2 his friend's house for a cookout (memorial day and all), while Sola and I headed 2 her mother-inlaw's house where we sat there and chatted and chatted. She is really cool. She's Yoruba but she speaks Igbo fluently (and Yoruba, of course). We talked about anything and everything...she's truly a remarkable character.
At 5:30pm, we left Frank's mom's house and headed to Frank's friend's house. There was a cookout, but I didn't even eat anything; I just drank some soda cause I was mad thirsday. I met some Frank's friends and they were really nice and warm 2 me. At 7:30, Sola and I decided 2 leave; that was when they decided they wanted 2 play a game of 'gestures'. I had seen the game being played on tv, but I neva thought I would enjoy. Sola and I didn't wanna play cause we thought we wouldn't enjoy it; besides, I was kinda shy because these were all new people (except Frank & Sola) and I wasn't sure I was ready 2 act a fool in front of them. Finally, Sola and I succumed 2 their demands and joined the game. Frank didn't want Sola in his group cause he thought she would mess up, so I was in Frank's group... and this other lil 10 year old british gal who doesn't consider herself nigerian (though her name is Ayomi); her parents are the nigerian ones, not her.
Anyways, the game was mighty fun and 2 my greatest surprise, I wasn't one bit shy. In fact when 9pm came and Sola suggested we leave, I was quick 2 say no. There were lotsa funny moments like when one guy was tryna describe a word 2 his team; they couldn't get it and when the buzzer sounded and the judge (one guy was our judge...referee so 2 say) said the word was 'saliva', the guy said no, so his team mates asked him 2 spell it and he said S-A-L-I-V-A. Now, that was funny!
4 those who don't know...the gestures game is a game where people r divided in @ least two teams, and there has 2 be at least 2 people in each team. One member of the team picks a card wit a word in it and tries 2 act it out (without utterin a word). For example, if the word is 'ball', the actor has 2 obviously dance. The team mates have 2 be able 2 guess d word correctly. So the success of the team depends on the acting skills of the actor and the smartness of the team members...and luck sha, cause sometimes you get a word and you don't even know the meaning. Twas fun anyways.... really fun!
I'm watching X-Men II. I neva watched it and since I intend 2 go watch the third part on wednesday, I owe it 2 myself 2 @ least watch this part, so I can fully comprehend the movie...you know?
Well, that's it for now. Typing this blog is interrupting my concentration; I actually have it on PAUSE right now, so lemme go and continue jare. We go yarn later
Oh crap! my laptop has lost its internet signal... thats d thing wit lap tops sha.
Well, I'll wait 4 it 2 come back...
*bout 10 seconds later* Ooooh, it's back
Bye!

Uka Nne (Mother's Day Church)
Yesterday I went 2 Igbo mass for the uka nne as I earlier stated. It was just what I expected it 2 be... a buncha women showin off their haves and have-nots. I say that cause some of those women only came there 2 show off, which is quite sad cause it's a house of God and all....
Anyways, I took pix of my mom, my grandmom and a buncha other women.
In terms of the event being just what I expected, the service started past 2pm (instead of 1:30pm), we stayed there 4eva!! There was a reception after the service... don't ask me why, but I was there (with Uju) 2 make mom happy. If I had it my way, I woulda neva even attended the service sef... I mean, it's a buncha Igbo people who come 2gether 2 make themselves believe they've got the best car and the most money. Of course, not all of them feel this way... I guess some of them do come 2 serve God 4 real.... nah, I doubt it.
My mother loves showin off... I know that already. But I just think the house of God is the wrong place 2 do it. God go vex o!
Anyways, thatz about it. I have already concluded that there is no way I would ever have a Nigerian church as my primary church...e no go happen! There's 2 much tension in EVERY naija church; every1 is against every1; too much tension. I cannot spiritually connect in such a church and what I need is spritual guidance, not fashion. Let's not 4get the young men (16-39) who feel like it's cool when all of them walk in2 church in d middle of the service wit flashing bluetooths on their ears.... niggers pls! Bluetooth don old finish...
Anyway sha... that's it about sunday service.

Weekend Rendezvous
What a weekend I had! Where shall I start 2 update ya?
Ok, let's start here: I went 4 the weddin (reception) wit Sola as I originally intended. The invitation said 5pm, so I figured we'd get there like 6pm...or 6:30 @ its latest. But as fate (or Sola and my scarf that refused 2 be tied) would have it, we gat there @ 7:30pm (2 and half hours after the stated time). But guess wat? They hadn't even started! They were still callin people 2 the high table, and there were still lots of seats...which meant we were too damn early. We decided 2 go outside and talk and take silly pictures... u know.
The weddin was aiight sha...coulda been better. The dj played some songs a lil too long, but it was ok. When the bride and groom changed in2 their traditionals, I wasn't blown away @ all. They wore all blue and it was too simple and too common and just too damn blue. Oh well...
The aso-ebis were the funniest ones. I don't know who told them those hats were cute. I shit you not, but those hats were huge! They were literally the size of baskets! I couldn't help but wonder.... what the hell were they thinking?
On a positve note... I got a laptop! Yes, in fact I am typing from it right this minute and it feels oh so good! I got it as a belated birthday gift.... how sweet! (And my birthday was in January). I tell you, if things keep going this way, I would write the address of my dream home and car. I'm pretty sure I will get it by my next birthday... abi what do you think? Well, thank you, thank you, thank you for the lap top. May God replinesh the pocket from where the money came from a million folds in Jesus name, Amen!
This morning, we woke up 2 find the window of my mother's truck shattered 2 pieces. It musta happened some time between 1am and 6am (I'm guessin). My mother came in from the wedding she attended at about 12am. The window and mirror on her side were completely shattered; and it was obvious that it was not a mistake. Probably some drunk teenagers who taught it was 'cool' and fun. Oh well, that's Geico's problem now; it's a good thing mom has a comprehensive insurance. Nawa o.... this country don mad finish. How can some1 just walk up 2 a car and decide 2 break the window? And u think we don't have crazy people walkin d streets. My mother's car was neither the fanciest vehicle outside nor the biggest. So I can be rest assured it was just a random act. Those teens musta missed their antipsychotic meds. I just hope they didn't steal my 'sweet mother' cd. Well, I doubt that would be their typa music... but just in case sha.
My house has 4 people instead of the regular two (mom and I). My grandma is here and we also have a priest as a guest (he went 4 the wedding mom and grandma went 4). He told me he was not comin home with mom yesterday, so when I came home from d wedding, I relaxed thinking there wuld only be women in the house. I strutted my naked body 2 my mother's room 2 gather all the stuff I left there, then I heard my mom's voice as she was comin in2 the house. I almost went out naked 2 say hi, but then I decided 2 tie the wrapper I saw on her bed. Who did I see when I got 2 the door? The priest! Why didn't mom call 2 tell me she was comin home wit a visitor...especially a man?! That's the rule we have in this house. Anyways, thank God he didn't see me naked sha...I dunno how I woulda been able 2 live wit that, 4 real. That woulda really broken me down....I can't even imagine wat it woulda done 2 the priest. Biko I cannot be responsible 4 a man's decision to..... well, let's leave that alone 4 now b4 God wounds me this morning.
Well, I believe that's it 4 now.
Oh! I'm gettin ready 2 go 2 Igbo church. It starts @ 1:30pm and it's held every last sunday of the month. Today, they will be celebrating mother's day, so I would have 2 take pix of two wonderful women (mom & grandmom) that love showin off...especially mom. She's about 2 call enterprise 2 bring her a rental car. She's currently on the phone wit the insurance people.
That's it 4 now.

Finally Gat My Nails Done
So I finally went out & gat my nails done...thank God! But b4 I went, I was seconds away from changin my mind about going cause I suddenly came down with a stomach ache; I dunno wat that was all about sha, but it really hurt. But afta some careful 'shittin', it went away sha. I shoulda made an appointment, but I didn't, so when I got there, the place was crowded (2day being friday & all). I got there like 6:30pm, and I was told that I might not be able 2 get service till 8pm. I had no choice but 2 wait.
I went outside and stood there just tryna think of wat 2 do next, then some oyibo man pulled in front of me. I thought he wanted 2 ask 4 directions or something, but instead...
oyibo man: u need a ride?
me: Oh, no Sir, thanks (I even out sir sef!)
oyibo man: u wanna party?
me: [confused] huh?
oyibo man: I said, u wanna party?
me: Uhm, no thanks [confused, iritated, agitated....all @ once)
Then I turned around and walked back 2 where I was standing, and then the oyibo man said "nice ass!" Chei! Wat is this world turnin in2? A world where an oyibo man is complementing a black person's ass. Not that if I give him the ass sef he would be able 2 handle it... :HISSES: rubbish.... can u imagine this? Anyways...
Do u know wat this oyibo man looked like? He wasn't even fine by any stretch of the word. He was about 50-55, he was wearing wat looked like boxers - very short green boxers 2 be precise, he had absolutely no shirt on, he had a bottle of beer in his cup holder and cigarettes on his chair, so wat kinda party wuld I have been attending with this pedophile-look-alike? Seriously speaking, he looked like a molester. Even if I needed a ride sef, wat kinda madness wuld prompt me 2 enter his car? So that next thing, I would become a statistic in American rape ehn? Tufia kwa!
Anyhow sha, I did my nails and I am happy wit them. Tomorrow, I will be attending a weddin wit Sola here in Bmore. I'm gonna wear a pink lace and pink scarf... basically, I'll just be a lady in pink... shey u get? (Why do I keep sayin 'shey u get?'?)
Nite nite... I'm really tired. Been cleanin d house since my mother decided 2 cook all this soup. I took a picture of the soup (bitter leaf), which I will post tomorrow, so you can take a look.
I went outside and stood there just tryna think of wat 2 do next, then some oyibo man pulled in front of me. I thought he wanted 2 ask 4 directions or something, but instead...
oyibo man: u need a ride?
me: Oh, no Sir, thanks (I even out sir sef!)
oyibo man: u wanna party?
me: [confused] huh?
oyibo man: I said, u wanna party?
me: Uhm, no thanks [confused, iritated, agitated....all @ once)
Then I turned around and walked back 2 where I was standing, and then the oyibo man said "nice ass!" Chei! Wat is this world turnin in2? A world where an oyibo man is complementing a black person's ass. Not that if I give him the ass sef he would be able 2 handle it... :HISSES: rubbish.... can u imagine this? Anyways...

Gown Shoppin
Just as I suspected, I did not find any gown I liked. I went 2 Macys and JcPenny, but I did not find anything. The gowns I liked @ Macys were too expensive, and the ones I found @ JcPenny were too childish. They looked like gowns that middle and high skool kids would wear.
I don't really have much 2 say 2day...especially since I am sleepy right now (I sleep too much, right?). Pray 4 me that I get a job this summer. Pray 4 me that I get a laptop too, so I can finish my book. Oh gosh, thinkin about it makes me wanna cry. I really thought I would be done by now; how am I supposed 2 be a national bestselling author if I cannot finish my damn book? I mean, Blessed book rather.
When I was goin out this afternoon, I remembered I didn't take my sunglasses, but I was too lazy 2 go back upstairs 2 get it. Then when I was goin out this evening, the sun wasn't out anymore, of course, but I started wondering... since we have sunglasses 4 the sun, why don't we have moon glasses for the moon and star glasses for the stars? We can even have moon-star glasses for when both the sun and stars are out. What do you think? Has any1 ever had this thought or am I just weird?
Well, that's it 4 tonight. We go yarn again 2morrow!

Just A Day
Well, 2day was just a day 4 me; nothing spectacular...nothing out of the ordinary... just a plain-jane kind of day. The only difference is that it's a tuesday kinda plane-jane kinda day. Anyways...
Toha came ova 2 see me 2day. We had some fun, and I made sure I stuffed her up real good with food; by the time she was ready 2 leave, she felt very full. I even fried her some of my special fish...yes, I do fry a mean fish...i think.
I took another nature walk 2day, but I have nothing interesting 2 say about it because I did not have the time 2 stop and look @ people and things while I was walking...cause I was on the phone to and fro. I'll make sure I don't do that next time. Going on a nature walk should not involve me being on the phone... cell phones are not natural. They are man-made electronic leashes made 2 tie us down without our knowledge and make us feel on top when we are really behind.... shey you get sha?
Well, 2morrow I'm gonna go 2 the mall 2 buy myself an evening gown for a wedding I have 2 attend on Saturday in Silver Spring. Of course, I coulda worn a traditional outfit, but I didn't take my material 2 the tailor, so I'm gonna have 2 wear something else. Of course, I could wear one of the traditional outfits I already have, but there is no fun in that. I would rather wear something new.
Well, I guess that's all 4 now. I'm sleepy. Geez, sleeping seems 2 be all I do these days... don't u think so? Oh well.
Nite now.
