The Writeventures of Emaleecious

Source I grew up hearing this words- "Change is the only permanent thing" and I remember thinking then that how can change be permanent? Change means change after all, so how can something that is evolving be permanent? Its a good thing I grew up, because looking back now I realize that I wasn't really that smart. Oh yes, I am very smart now (Gotcha!). So now I understand that indeed change is the only permanent thing. Everything changes everyday. For instance, take a look at your wardrobe 7 years ago. I bet you can hardly fit into some of the stuff you used to own back then. (Well I know there will be many exceptions) Or look at your shoe closet, how many pairs of shoe do you still wear from 10 years back? (what? are you telling me you still wear them? #gasp. Didn't your feet grow at all? Or didn't wear and tear happen?). Ok, maybe that wasn't also a good analogy. Let's try another one. Has your click of friends changed? No? Ok, I give up. Wait, ...

Its 10:00 am. I know this for a fact without looking at my watch or getting any alarm notification. The familiar tendrils of sleep tantalize my eyes. It promises to be a beautiful 2 hours with my eyes shut. I feel the pressure to shut my eyes for a second. I try to fight it. I fail woefully. Each time for the last two weeks, I have failed. Today will be no exception, I already know that but I try  nonetheless . I stand up and move over to my colleagues table under the pretext of asking for a file. What exactly did we conclude on the issue? She looks at me blankly at first and later it transforms to irritation. You took the minutes of meeting yourself and have the file. why are you asking me? she says. I ask for her forgiveness and tell her that I just needed another voice to my thoughts. to be sure I captured the right thing. Alas, it wasn't me acting stupidly. It was the sleep speaking through my brain. I couldn't do anything with that potent force. Source I went...

Stealing is stealing no matter what it is that is been taken. I'll tell you why in a minute, but I want to emphasize that stealing is stealing. If you take someones property when the person is unaware, without the intention of informing the person then Congratulations!!!! You have just become a thief. Be it a book, a phone, a wife (or husband...lol) a blog post something as little as a pen, whatever it is. You will be branded a thief. Don't think its just the Nigerian politicians who embezzle funds, or the armed robber who steals and kills for personal gain. Come to think of it, even Robbin Hood was a thief. Ha. I didn't see that one coming. In a way, I'm chastising myself and all others. . First, I'd tell you why I chastised myself. I went to my blog to reply Toin's comment and then I went through the post again and saw that I didn't reference the picture I put up. Now truth be told, I usually forget to do so, but somehow, I just decided to go bac...

Some of my colleagues and I were "gisting" randomly one morning. One of them was like, if Adam and Eve hadn't sinned, life wouldn't have have been as hard as it is right now. We all agreed and started mentioning things that wouldn't have been. Source If Adam and Eve hadn't sinned... ...we would have been naked and not ashamed. ...we would all have been playing in the Garden of Eden ...we would have been singing praises all day. ...Another daily activity would have been dancing at His Courts with thanksgiving too. ...We would have been living with animals everywhere in Eden. Fancy having a lion as a neighbor. ...We may not have had our parents and siblings, as it would have been one big happy family. ...there wouldn't be killing or wickedness in the world. ...there wouldn't have been marriages (may be or may be not)  ...there may not have been sex (still trying to see how that would have worked after all there was the manda...

I bet some of you thought abiku* things were synonymous with humans alone? Well, I am here to confuse and not convince you that Abikuism occurs in the inanimate world as well. By the way how many of you were in the debate club in primary school? I hope you never actually confused the listeners? I remember one debate my sister and I watched on one of those children's programs on TV years back. The poor debater had been made to cram his argument and he got stuck from the onset. He began this way: Good day panel of judges, accurate time keeper...and my  listeners    (in whatever order it is, forgive me but "my teachers didn't teach me"). I am here to support the motion that "polygamy is better than monogamy". Polygamy-". Alas, my very bright student lost steam and had to start all over from his greeting again. Yes, all the way from "good day panel of judges...". The sad thing is that he did this about 3 times before the time keeper interve...
