It is amazing how the journey called life sometimes reveals interesting events that sometimes beats imagination. People at a point in their lives fall in love. Some make it a sensible experience but for others, hmmmmn.
People are falling in love with people who are just passing through their lives with no intentions of staying in order to be a part of their castles in the skies. Love is considered to be a blinding phenomenon but I think knowing that something is the case and not paying much attention to is not the same as not knowing the thing at all. Why do people fail to read the signs of the time. Why do you play with fire when you know its exact consequences.
When you fall in love please bear in mind that sometimes some of the people you fall in love with are young money thieves. They will steal your love and leave. Enjoy love when it lasts but hey! Love is worth the attention it receives.
Love with as much as you can but remember it is not all about emotions. It is knowing the truth and accepting it as part of your reality.
Show love to all your love ones. Remember the less fortunate in society. They are also worth some love. The less fortunate includes the poor and marginalized ( materially, emotionally and everything you can think off).
ALWAYS REMEMBER: YOUNG MONEY THIEVES STEAL YOUR LOVE AND LEAVE.
They are every where. BEWARE.

Friends in Low Places.
Going through the acts of Terry Fator,one of the songs that caught my attention is the song "Friends in Low Places" Written by: Dewayne Blackwell, Bud Lee
I consider this song as a replica of some of the events in the journey called life when people cannot just wear the expectation gowns others have designed for them.
Accept people as they really are because life is really fun with that.
If you cannot fit into an individual's expectations, just be yourself and maybe the last line of the song can be the right expression. Don not remain in that box, get out and express yourself. The supreme Being will even not be happy if you loose track of your unique self.
Enjoy the lyrics of the song. "Friends in Low Places"
Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
And everything is alright
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just wait 'til I finish this glass
Then sweet little lady
I'll head back to the bar
And you can kiss my ass

The World As I See It
The world as I see it is a wonderful place to live in. Life with its sharp curves and high ways presents us with enormous possibilities. Some of the experiences that usher in these possibilities are sometimes very pleasant or otherwise.
When sometimes we need somthing the most, it becomes very difficult to get them. The doors are open to us when we in actually have no need of them. The moments we actually need them the gate keepers decide not to be at post.
I think the best we can do is to take advantage whenever we have the oportunity. We leave not to fight another day. If the battle is for us, its better we deal with it inorder to have our peace of mind.
Tomorow may never come. The tomorow we talked about yesterday is today my dear.
Make hey while the sun shines.

The Right Package
It is interesting how some events unfold in this world in the journey called life. This post is directly in relation to entering into marriage. According to the popular 80:20 rule, One cannot get 100% of what he / she needs in a partner.
The outmost percentage will be 80 and the rest you deal with it in your own special way. This is beacuse you can never get it. I think I have talked about this in a previous post.
What happens when one get the 80% and it is very difficulty to forfiet the 20%. Imagine a lady falling in love with someone shorter than her. She admires and accept the loving man she has fallen in love with beacuse he makes her live in heaven on earth but she cannot just bear the fact that he is short (Vertically challenged).
A man loves a woman with all he's got. But his dream of having a 'coca cola' shaped lady has been dashed. Intrinsically she is 'good' but not on the outside.
What u can do in such circumstances? Make sure what has become your headache is not part of the 80% you need. If you cannot bear it please reconsider it because you are going to spend close to about six (6) decades with such a person. Reflect and decide.

WHO AM I
Contemplating on blogging, it just dawn on me: who am I
I will not pretend to be a master when it comes to knowledge of
myself. Don't be surprise because I am still discovering a
lot about myself but for the following I know:
Sometimes I don't really know what I want in this world but
hey I am human and sometimes do get confuse.
I really like and love women but please don't judge me without knowing exactly what
I mean by that
I judge people a lot but hey I come from a particular culture
and environment whether you like it or not I can only compare with
what I know to be right or wrong.
I am a christian not so much because I was born to be one. I grew up in that environment and over the year my background has influenced be to be blind to others to some extent whether i like it or not.
Talking is a hobby but when someone talks too much, it annoys me a lot. if what you are talking about is objective and interesting, I love it.
I hate it if you don't have the guts to approach me but talk behind my back. Hey I am not a tiger or masquerade so why do that.
I love people who appreciate me for who I am with all my negatives.
I fail to understand some people sometimes but hey try as much as possible to understand me.But if I am not appreciating it don't be worried because sometimes I am very difficulty and not easy to please.
Don't judge me because I am me and You are You. But You never know if you give me the chance in this journey called life, I will admonish and judge you. That is on the flip side.
I will continue this piece but please don't pretend to know yourself because we are all like icebergs and volcanoes. Man know thyself because it is a basic secret to a dream accomplishing life.

When Innocence Meets Stupidity
It is a common practice to be in a relationship where one is very innocent whiles the other is just stupid. With innocence I mean someone without much experience in a field or experience he/she is in currently. With stupidity I am talking about people who are suppose to have a level of experience and intelligence which unfortunately they lack.
In such a relationship, the expectation is that the one with much experience will guide and assist the innocent one in decision making and choices. But it is rather painful and unfortunate and Oh! My God! disheartening if the experienced one is stupid. What happens is that normally the innocent puts much trust in the other thinking that because the other has traveled the road before he/she will know the twist and turns and would surely know what to do in order to arrive at the destination.
If the person is intelligent and experienced, the relationship can be very enlightening and refreshing but if unfortunately he is stupid, man! it is a mess. Many hearts have been broken and many dreams have been squashed. Why? because people who where suppose to take advantage of experience so that it becomes the best teacher did not. Rather, experience took advantage of them and made them just stupid.
To all my folks going through all manner of experiences, take advantage of them and make meaning out of them which will guide you in the future especially if you encounter someone who trusts you because of your experience. To all who have put their trust with people with experience but was in vain, do not loose trust cos no matter what, experience is the best teacher. Learn from your own experience and use it in the future.
In this journey called life, you might not win all the fight and surely you can at anytime be part of those who will be fooled but all are experiences that are worth the experience. If you think you are experienced but stupid, please don't play with innocent heart because they might just not be ready for your stupidity.
Enjoy your experiences no matter what but make sure you become an experienced intelligent person. Hah! this journey called Life.

When Determination is just not enough
With determination one can strive to achieve his/her dreams. I do believe this statement to a very great extent but not in its totality. Many people may disagree with me but the reality of life shows that having all the determination in the world sometimes is just not enough to achieve your goals and aspirations.
People all over the world have skills and abilities. Skills are normally the acquired qualities that makes one very competent in his/her field. Skills are normally gained and perfected with time and consistent practice. To be skillful at what one does demands time and practice. Abilities on the other hand are the qualities that one possesses as a person that aids him/her in his area of work.
When skills and abilities are achievable, determination is a virtue one cannot ignore. When one has the all the determination in the world but the skills and abilities to match it, realization of dreams becomes an illusion;sometimes,the only way to make it is by a miracle, not mere determination.
My advice is before you embark on a search for a dream, first of all reflect on your person, to see if you have the ability to achieve it. You can acquire the skills on the way but not the ability unless through genetic ramifications for instance.
You should not get me wrong with this. I am not saying that skills and abilities are enough to achieve dreams. In realizing dreams you cannot take determination out of it because one can have all it takes in this world to achieve a dream but without determination the dream might always be a horizon or a mirage.
Know what you can do and with determination, strive for it, but, please keep it in mind that at a point in time in our journey called life, determination sometimes is just not enough to achieve a dream.
Be determined but most importantly know yourself and what you can achieve without also thinking that you are too small to achieve your dreams.
