Hello people!!! In my CV, under ‘Hobbies’, one of the things I have listed is Art (drawing and painting). And usually, people are surprised to see that. They ask, “You draw?” and I say “Yes!” However, the truth is that, apart from my eye-pencil and eye-liner, I haven’t picked up any other pencil to draw something in quite some time… I’m talking in almost two years!! Does this mean I lied in my CV? So, I made up my mind to do some art work to see if I still remember how to rule a straight line. So I dug…

Good morning people… Hope your weekend was better than mine… My weekend wasn’t exactly horrible, just a bit busy. We have guests… Some guys are going to be around for the next two weeks or so to do some major work on the roof. They came and spent a few hours on the roof, taking measurements and marking some spots. Then they came down and sat outside for a while trying to decide how much it would all cost. I could hear them from my magic amebo window. I waited till I was sure they were done and I went…

Good morning people… I guess I can’t complain because February didn’t blow as hard as January. And I almost got hit by a car this morning while I was jogging!! It was like a dream.

Mornin’ people… I mentioned that I attended an old friend’s wedding sometime in January right?…  I am really not big on weddings. It was all the way in Lagos and if I wasn’t able to make it, he would’ve understood (I think). I wasn’t the best man or the ring bearer. In fact, I played no significant role before, during and after the wedding. All I did was stare at some delicious eye-candy in his committee of friends, catch up with old friends, eat like a pig and party like a rock starr!! So, if I’m not so big on…

Ok, so this is part two of my weekend story… 🙂 While Chucks was talking, I imagined myself at a dinner party with my carpenter and his girlfriend, and some of their other friends and I almost threw up in my mouth. What the hell were we gonna talk about? As insulted as I was, I didn’t have the heart to ask him if he’s been swallowing some engine oil. I should have said a firm No!, but I couldn’t. Instead, I promised I would call the next day to let him know if I would be able to make…
