My Uncle Femi!

September ... is over today ... and guess what, one of the few men that I love like crazy in this world ... is getting married tomorrow :)
SO this is dedicated to my dear uncle Femi and his Tomi ...

OK Uncle Femi is my adopted grandfather's son ...and when I was 7 I met the Omololus (my family met the Omololu family at church) ...but Uncle Femi was away at school (UCH), and they didn't bother to tell me that they had an older brother somewhere, so I met Bayo, Bunmi and Deroju .... and we were mad cool, everytime my parents let me out of the house I went to their house .... and I kinda grew up in their house and mine ...

anyhu so one day when I've known them like 6 months and I feel like I KNOW them, I get to their house and there's this other guy in the house ... but I'm a good 7 yr old and I don't talk to srangers ... so I carefully sidestep around this stranger and do everything I need to do ...
HOWEVER, he is their egbon ... and so he's not about to disappear ... and then he decides he's going to talk to me ... and I'm just not having it ... so I actually RUN away everytime I see him (children do interesting things) .... but in return he’s determined to be friends with this little girl who shows up in his house everyday and talks non-stop to everybody else

… what can I say …. His determination definitely paid off b/c somewhere along the line we became MAD cool, and now I talk to him more than I talk to the entire Omololu family put together …. I’d do like …anything for him, anytime of the day or night ….y’know there are just some ppl like that … they just steal into ur heart and make themselves at home ….. and Tomi ….I actually don’t know her that well, spoken to her a couple times, she seems REALLY sweet, but I mean, she’s with my uncle Femi …she’s GOTTA be sweet, it’s like a prerequisite …. I’m so tripped …. I so wish I was there …I’m going to call him early tomorrow morning – b4 the wedding …. and make sure he’s not having jitters so he won’t be a runaway groom or anything ….but I’m like megatripped … as you can tell …. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God is cool …(just incase u were wondering) 

A different perspective

ok ... so in my not-so-christian moments, I have sometimes wondered how it seems that all these other ppl in the world who don't send God seem to be doing fine without Him, and I send God and yet I stress like a .... and I just wonder, like ...I don't get it ...I'm sposed to be unstressed and they're sposed to be stressed...
But I was talking to some of my friends today and this guy was talking abt how when he's stressed, he can go to God and spend time there and come away knowing that EVERYTHING will be alright ...somehow ...b/c God doesn't jabo us ....and how he feels sorry for ppl who don't have God to turn to ...they just kinda go thru life like that ...on their own .... no one to let them know that, for real, it will be fine ...b/c He's God and He's got it all under control ... EVERYTHING ...
SO if in my knowing God et al, I choose to sulk and cry when life gets interesting ... as opposed to going to my source ... and getting His take on stuff, well, that's kinda my fault. But the fact is that He is here and I have access to Him, regardless of what comes up in life (God bless Dr. J) ... and it is well ....with anatomy and everything else.

BUT anyways, the perspective change, or as the good ppl of GLI say, the 'paradigm shift' :) is that I have a Rock :) that I can turn to when life gets awry, and wondering how ppl who don't have a rock can function ... they have to function. The fact that they're not falling apart in front of me does not mean they're not falling apart ... and the idea is for those of us who (because of grace) know God or have some kind of relationship with him .... to be willing to share our Source with others ... cos (fortunately) we can't run out of God :) there's enuff of Him to go around!

Yeah, I know u guys have always known this ... and u wonder how come I'm just seeing this now ... to see thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, follow thee more nearly ...day by day ...AMEN!
Later :)

These ppl!!!!

They said there was a cookout, they said it was at 5pm, I carried my hungry self there from lab at 6:30 ... WHY is there no food? I don't get it. Isn't 1.5 hrs enuff to cover Colored ppl/African/ carribean time ... all I want is a little bit of food. Trying to convince BJ to make me Jollof rice with chicken and plantain but the olodo said he's putting his foot down .... does this make logical sense ...but Ghana ppl are not particularly known for logic hehe

OK ...let's see, what shall I do?
- Call Omo to see if she'll feed a starving African child
-go to bed and hope I won't be hungry when I wake up
-make the most of the opportunity and pray since I'm already technically fasting
-call my mummy and cry
-don't think about it

I dunno, but DJ is guilt tripping me into going back to the BBQ place, she says we went together and so I can't leave her there .... this one time, I'll let meself be guilt-tripped into staying against my will and better judgement.

OK, I know I been gone a while ... cos I always want like an hr block to write not 5 mins lori ere :) see, all of u that think I can't speak my mother tongue .... I CAN!!!!!

BS ...hope life is settling down o ...with school and work ...and life in general
TR ... my mom says u better buy the Jake and do it
My baby, OMA, lolo.... much love

Stay on top ppl .... stay on top.
