Letter From My Dad

I received a latter from my dad a letter he never knew he wrote a he has written over and over again to my brothers and sisters before me and also will be passed to the people after me. The words in this letter were so clear that a blind needs no glasses to read it, a deaf could hear it's plain tune in the crowd and the content needs no teacher to explain.

    June 24th 1984

Dear Son.

You may ask as many questions as you want but never ask me to define life, because I won't be able to give you an answer and I don't have any friend that can. In life when you can't make it look good try your best to make it look better and if you can't do that then you are the worst in history of man, give as much as you can but never expect as much as you gave. Give you friends what they need when you can but don't make them get you what they can't when you want.

Remember in life nothing is as important as living itself, it is better to go for what you can get than to go for what you want. Keep history and wait for the future but make sure you are living in today because it's a gift. If it's not yours don't take because it will never be yours, yes I know they said the best things in life are for free but not everything that is free is the best don't get confuse.

My son for me to say all I want to a book won't be enough for me but as time goes on you will receive more of my message

                                            Your Dad

What you have

Are you crying that you don't have it,
then compare yourself with those that have it,
and you will find something you have that they don't.

When My Birthday Comes

June 24th 2007 at 12 am I was in my room with an XBOX 360 and my brothers, Winning Eleven 2007 was the latest game in my stable then. All the international leagues were at its season final if not all at least my favorite English Premier League ended its season with Manchester United heading the table and my favorite club Chelsea FC coming second while Champions League ended with A C Milan’s revenge on Liverpool FC, with all these sad news on football this season I couldn’t bring myself to watch the friendly matches so I got myself the latest Winning Eleven.

The morning was just arriving and it came with the heaviest rain of the year, I ignored the noise it gave on my roof still enjoying my game almost taking the lead 2-1 with my blue Chelsea and my brother’s Inter Milan, first it got me when my head was almost wet I thought it was the heat of the game but I got surprise to actual feel water running slowly through my hair, but the amazing thing happen when we turned and notice half of my room almost becoming a stream of its own. We work all morning cleaning the room as we were just three in the room it took us till 3 am; we later notice it was caused by a broken pipe from outside.

That morning I could only get a six hours rest which was not in my room, at exactly 2 pm I was on my way out to a friend’s house so I can narrate the story to him and fortunately for me he was already in front of my door with a smile of joy and with my curiosity I asked why he was happy but his reply hit me really hard “Today is your birthday”

June 24th 2006 I was out strolling with a friend when my phone rang and the news I got was too sad and lucky for us because we could have lost my father’s house in flame and when I got home he told me happy birthday. I still remember in school I had a female friend I will never forget she was the only that remembered my birthday that night and when she came to me with her greetings I replied that it wasn’t a birthday to me but a bad day because all the troubles of school which I have been running from caught up with me that night.

So many other stories of my birthdates which always takes my attention away from my birthday and here it comes again June 24th 2008 I have never blow a candle on a birthday cake, this should be my first birthday cake if possible

A cook in my house

A week ago I was in my room preparing lunch for myself and if you must know I am not a good cook, to make things simple for you I just learned to boil egg that same day. I prepared the easiest I could; boiled eggs and noodles lots of noodles, just like a friend said ‘a good cook knows the amount of ingredients he needs for a good meal’ well I am not a good cook so I am defiantly not making a good meal, so when I realize that my noodles was too much for just me I called up a friend. I told him my home alone story and how I over boiled three eggs till they got broken in the water, to cut it short I invited him to join me for those same eggs which he did, but to my surprise he also came with a friend I never expected his interest not to talk of a friend’s.

I offered him the whole lunch and he screamed incase you are wondering why he screamed? I boiled fifteen packs of noodles just for me and as present I weight about 52 so you know I don’t eat much and I defiantly can’t finish that, just a spoon could have been okay for me, well evidently the noodles was too much for the three of us; so I called up another friend and he also called a friend and we both told them the home alone story that brought up the noodles, well shockingly they both came with there girl-friends. Especially in Africa we believe ladies are the cook and now the interested number on the noodles grew to seven of us for just fifteen packs of noodles and six boiled eggs , what I thought won’t get an impact is getting audience how funny, well so we gave it to the ladies first as it always is ‘ladies first’, they both went for their first spoons hesitating and slowly chewing as they were going for their second spoon, then the third, then the fort and when they got to the fifth I was the first to interrupt because I knew then that it has exceed the point of their comments as they’ve already approved it so we all joined the lunch and before five minute the bowl was empty.

It was so quick that they for requested more, this time the ladies prepared it, after a while they served us the six packs of noodles and three boiled eggs but when we all got to our third spoons they was no further step if you must know even the third was just for the sake of the size of it, we all looked at ourselves and realize it was because we were all hungry that was why rushed and not for the sake of its taste but for the sake of our taste. We were able to finish fifteen packs of undone noodles but not able to finish six packs of well prepared noodles by two good cooks. It’s like my people will always say ‘it is the tongue that make choice but if you leave the choice to your stomach then you won’t have any problem with hunger.’

When to Call It Love

What's your love story; is it all heart broken, they don't look real, they are always too good to be true, they hardly come my way, I don't look good for them or even I am not always lucky. Relationships comes in many forms we just have to look closer most of the times we look for a name for it but its always hard to name them but believe in life everything has a name you just have to be sure you are giving it the right name.

Every heart is capable of falling in love no matter what; Adolf Hitler was in love, Osama Bin Ladan has a wife, and the ugliest guy known (King Kong) had an admirer. All I am trying to say is whoever you are, whatever you are, or wherever you are, you have the right to love and be loved because love is blind and we all know that. But the question is when do we call it love?

Now obliviously we may not be able to answer this question but we can look for the answer because most times it's always in front of us, we just fail to see it but if we listen and look carefully it is always there, love is not against any of us or it's defiantly not running from us.

You will want to know if he or she is for real, just looking for a one night stand or just using you as gate way to something or someone else. Listen to the voice, look for the actions, and most importantly listen for the emotions towards you.

You can check for these little signs like when he is talking with you he always wants to know if you are ok, when she sees you she is happy, he always try his best to include you in all he does, when you ask for something even if its not to come from him he always wants you to have it, when she is down or depress she looks for you first, at all times he tries to keep you comfortable, when you are not happy she is disturb, when you need a shoulder he provides his lap or she provides her lap, when he looks at you he sees you and not what others see in you, when you are upset with him he tries all his best to make you understand, when you want him he tries his possible best to be there, when she is not with you she wants know where you are, and above all when you are together you never wish to depart and at this point you can call it love. These are just some of the basic signs it include many other or even may not include any of these but surely more than five of these.
