Middle Sleep

This blog post was inspired by a little child I woke up to go to bed this evening. It's usually fun sometimes when you witness the drama of waking a sleeping child. So I walk him to the gents... Then..."Oya now, oya jor..." After minutes of no luck, then I try the age-old "sssssss..." and there comes the log-awaited pee. Yay! The silly things we do sometimes while asleep could amaze us. I remember an issue that I denied responsibility for when a friend claimed he brought an attendance sheet to me at 11pm to sign. That's all I could recall. The...

My new therapy

Heyo peeps! It's hard to believe I'm still awake after all the work of yesterday. Yes cuz its 12:30am already and I'm supposed to be up early later today. On a normal day, by this time I'm too exhausted to open my laptop so I just drag my self into my bed, try to pray and I wonder how it always happens...once I open my eyes, it's morning and I feel tired like I never rested. At a point, I was having a lot of afraidness on my daily schedule till I re-found this new therapy I'd love to share with you. It's something we all know but hardly practice. It...

#Things we take for granted...

A bit tired but I have to write this. I thought of tweeting about this, hence the hashtag, but I got occupied with something. But thinking of it, there are so many things we tend to take for granted. I'll still tweet on it though. Taking the wheels of your car, without uttering a prayer, yet you still enjoy safety. Eating and your food digests...ask those who have to be injected with supplements. Peeing unaided...you don't use a tube. You can smile...ask someone with paralysed facial muscles. You have a boil/stye in your eye, yet you complain...ask...

Kindly help point out things you feel need to be changed, things you enjoyed, etc. The theme is centered around Youths/Teenagers and Peer Pressure. Here's it:   INT – The Adetola Family Sitting Room SCENE 1 (Bisi is in the sitting room curled...

Silence broken at last.

I'm really short of words on what to say. How I've abandoned this blog for over a month still baffles me. Thing is, the urge to write something comes but the patience to articulate fails me. I'm sorry for leaving you my readers hanging. Outside blogging though, I've still been a bit active in the literary world.  The highlight of them all being the Loudthotz Poetry Reading I attended some weeks back and guess who I met... Atilola! I was so...
