Is the Ozone relationship detrimental to Nengi and Ozo’s games? Yes. When I watch Ozo and Nengi, I see two people struggling to play their games despite the obvious emotions. They are strong enough to play their games as individuals. Ozo has so many positive attributes that stand him out. Mike did it with PDG and got the second position, Ozo can even go further. Nengi is a smart girl and has a strong fan base. She can play her game freely in the house without the emotional guilt that Ozo brings. Without Nengi, no one would have tagged Ozo a simp. Without Ozo no one would blame Nengi for Ozo being called a simp.

Ozo should tone down the PDA with Nengi. You started with an emotional approach, switching to a physical approach after only six weeks when the girl doesn’t even know if you’re playing her or playing the game would only make you seem insincere. You must complete that emotional journey, unfortunately, that can only be outside the house. Frankly, I don’t see a future for them outside, but nothing stops them from trying (except Ozo’s mothers and sisters). He should accept the brother/friend-zoning or walk away from Nengi. He would get rejected anytime he tries to get touchy with her and give his haters more ammunition. Nengi expects Kidd’s touches because theirs is more of physical interaction, but Ozo’s touches would confuse her and make her defensive. He should either allow Nengi to play her game with Kidd or do something about it. If he’s uncomfortable, he should be assertive, and step in and break it up when Kidd gets too touchy with Nengi in front of him, but be subtle about it. That is exactly what Kidd does with Erica. Staying back and observing them as he often does makes him look soft and telling her to stop playing her game because of his insecurities is kinda insensitive.

Relationships only help one party, and right now he’s looking like a spare wheel. Ultimately, each party should play their game. Right now he’s playing Nengi’s game and getting destroyed every day. Now he also wants to start a p.issing contest with Kidd? That’s too much drama on his plate. He’s better off playing his own game. Let the flirts play their flirty games. He’s more the intuitive/mental type and he can only do that alone. He should also learn to communicate with the viewers. Use his diary sessions to tell them what his game is all about because Nengi and people watching really don’t understand the game he’s playing.

Well, I know he can’t hear me, so I’m only thinking out loud. Note the dynamics of the game change ever so much with evictions, so CAVEAT EMPTOR

Is Ozo disrupting Nengi’s game? The girls in the house figured out Nengi’s game early and isolated her. The guys don’t mind. If you want to flirt, we’re ready. Ozo demands exclusive rights to her body. Why? Yes, the flirting is disrespectful for him because he took the emotional route. She toned it down at first because she liked him, but he still does PDA with Dorathy and justifies himself because he does the same with his little sister. Well, your little sister is not competing for 85M with you, buddy. So, she intensifies her flirting and has found a willing ally in Kidd.

Do I think she likes Kidd personally? Not in the way she likes Ozo. Kidd is far more experienced with women, he has seen Ozo struggling on the emotional lane, he takes the material and physical route. It is a shorter, more viable route in that confined space. There are no emotions involved, a perfect game for two flirts who thrive on the physical side. Did Ozo try to ruin Nengi’s game during the toilet incident? Not at all, he saved her game. I believe this one time his emotions got the better of his gamesmanship. If he wanted to ruin her game, he would have waited in the wings to catch them pants-down (if that was truly their intention) and then get the proof to destroy her game both inside the house and with the voting public.

Is Ozo a simp? Let’s look at Ozo through the eyes of Kidd the acclaimed Alpha-male in the house. Kidd sees Ozo as his main competition. He sees a fellow Alpha-male despite Ozo’s passivity. Ozo is a de-facto leader in the house and Kidd wants his throne. What better way than to mess with his head by taking shots at Nengi? If Kidd successfully executes his plan for Nengi, he would claim bragging rights over Ozo as well as distract him from the game. A double-barreled victory, if I might say. Ozo is no simp, he knew Kidd had bad intentions during the Saturday-night party when he kept mixing alcohol for Nengi and successfully checkmated him. Nengi should be grateful to him for looking out for her.

Why is Nengi looking like Ozo is Achilles heel? Ozo made two mistakes with Nengi: He declared his intentions openly before he even started the chase and he took the emotional route to woo her. Nengi became his weakness in the house and anyone who wanted to mess with his head knew what to do. He lost the element of surprise with her. She could check his moves and it became a chess match. There are many ways to get a girl; emotionally, physically, mentally, materially, even spiritually to name a few. When you take an emotional route, you’re on a long road. Most girls will wear you out just to you’re your genuineness. A girl’s heart is precious to her, and for some even more than their bodies. Little wonder most are shocked when a girl sleeps with a man who wants just sex and refuses to sleep with the one who claims to love her until she is sure.

Does Nengi genuinely like Ozo? I think so. Why? For the very reason, most claim she doesn’t: She resists his touches most times. His touches pull on her emotional side, the other guys’ touches don’t. She is free with other guys but guarded with Ozo. She has to protect her heart. She cooks for him in the house and they provide emotional support to each other. Anyone expecting an experienced and smart girl like Nengi to fall for Ozo in the way he is demanding on international TV? Think again. She has too much to lose for a guy that hasn’t proven himself to her. Unfortunately, there’s no way he can prove his genuineness in that confined environment. She liked him well enough to cut off Prince and chase after him when he withdrew from her. What was her excuse? Prince is competitive. Prince took an emotional approach to Nengi, he ended up stonewalled. Well, Ozo is competitive as well, but she hasn’t cut him off yet. She only complains until Ozo reassures her, but he’s not going to quit competing for 85M. Ozo chose Prince for the Betway trivia game because he wants to win just as much as Nengi. His head is still in the game until he hands her an advantage over him. He won’t, Nengi knows that and unfairly thinks he’s playing the game and is not keen about their relationship. Well, Nengi is also trying to manipulate his emotions to gain an advantage, so deuces. Game on!

Anyone who still thinks Ozo is a simp is deluded. He decoded Nengi's game a long time ago. Theirs is not a relationship, but a power tussle. Anyone with a PVR and is recording go back to the kitchen scene last night with Neo, he told Neo he has no trust in Nengi and can't have any form of relationship with someone he doesn't trust. He said he will "freestyle with her"until one of them is tired." I think he's preparing her for a smackdown.

I know there are guys that when they find out you're playing them can be brutal when retaliating, but he shouldn't go to war with her. He can still play his game solo and stay relevant, or better still take his attention elsewhere and stay friends with her. If they continue this charade, Nengi will win many battles, but Ozo might win the war if the dynamics in the house favour him, and it will continue to change as more housemates get evicted.

I like Kidd's game, it's brutal I know but... If Nengi fancies him, she should go for it. I would love to see their dynamics at play. What if Kidd was executing a secret task? This is a game, people, stop wasting your emotions. It's play hard or be played hard time.

I am a fan of the show, not necessarily any housemate. I like to be objective and being emotionally invested in a housemate beclouds objectivity. When I watch, I look out for interesting dynamics. The Ozo-Nengi angle fascinates me. It is more of a power play than a relationship. I watched a scene of theirs late last night that confirmed it. Nengi accused Ozo of abandoning her at the gym and made a tiff about it, she was mad he gave his attention to Tolanibaj and Erica instead of her. He apologized. The camera returns to her performing a monologue about Kidd being just her ‘play partner’ because ‘he is the only one in the house that matches her energy for playing.’ Ozo did not respond. She accused Ozo of being unemotional (probably for his lack of emotions to the incident with Kidd and her explanations). Ozo replied that he has emotions, but when someone stresses him emotionally, he cuts the person off instantly. Nengi agrees (probably because he did same to her in week 2). She continued her monologue, but Ozo doesn’t seem that interested in the conversation.

Why does Nengi seem so keen to explain her earlier actions to an uninterested Ozo? Why does Ozo act so uninterested in an incident he witnessed, which should upset him if he truly loved her? Nengi is seeking reassurance from him about the incident by explaining herself and he didn’t offer any. She used Kidd as a prop to get him jealous probably because of the attention he gave to Tolanibaj and Erica, and he didn’t seem to care. Why does she want all his attention on her alone while she shares hers freely with other guys? And his only noteworthy response: a subtle threat to cut her off if and when she stresses him. He already did it with Prince. She knows he will do it again.

To those who claim Nengi will jump into bed with Kidd the moment she gets the chance, she will not. Kidd does not intrigue her. She has seen enough studs, enough rich kids to know what Kidd is about. Kidd can only offer sex and an earful of what he will buy her with daddy’s money. She knows enough Kidds in Abuja to line up Third Mainland Bridge. They are both flirty free spirits. They cancel out each other. Now with Ozo it is different. A nerdy book-smart family-centric guy. Not an Urkel-nerd, but Clark Kent-nerdy guy, now that’s something she doesn’t see often. She doesn’t run into guys like him in her world except maybe in a Big Brother House. When you meet girls who are inexperienced with men, you woo them with words. For an experienced girl like Nengi, your actions better speak more than words. Ozo performs all the right actions in their confined living arrangement- that’s why he is always in her space because that’s what she wants from him. Except during Saturday Night Parties, where for some weird reason she suddenly wants her space back, and if he stays out it for too long, she goes to tease him and runs away again.

Ozo is an enigma even to the viewers, which unfortunately might cost him the grand prize. Nengi too, is enigmatic in her way, though she is more obvious to the viewer, and that makes their dynamic so interesting to me. Nengi is not bored with Ozo, she is frustrated with his aloofness, even when he is in her space. If she was bored, she won’t spend that much time in his company. He intrigues her and she is fascinated. He plays the smitten kitten but something is off, because like you the viewer, she wonders what he is up to? (Remember her conversation with Vee). That is why she constantly tries to make him jealous to get a read on him and wonders what’s up when he shows no sign of jealousy, which is confusing for a guy who is so ‘apparently’ smitten with her. Kidd is only a prop for her, Ozo is the game. Will Nengi continue to use Kidd to make Ozo jealous? Probably. Will Ozo eventually get jealous? Probably. Will, he eventually cut her off again? Probably. That is why it is a good TV for me.

I rarely comment on Nairaland threads, but I'll make an exception for you. I once dated a girl with similar issues, so I have experienced what such dreams do portend and portray. I suspect that you are probably from Akwa Ibom, probably from those areas close to the ocean like Oron and the rest, probably very beautiful and with very long hair. PROBABLY is the keyword here, because I have no specifics to work with. If they do not apply to you, then I do apologise for my assumptions. However if any of the above indices apply to you, then your family might likely have ties to the marine world and they are trying to lay claims to you. Your dreams are not only indicative of that fact, but also that you have not formally joined nor formally renounced them. i suggest you open up to either family members who might offer necessary insight or seek spiritual counselling.

There are many other things, I would've loved to share with you, but I'd rather proceed on the side of caution. Good luck to you.

Frood should understand that Biggie is milking his emotions for content and play this game with less heart and more brains. It is a game after all and Biggie can tweak it always to his advantage. Biggie constantly puts him in these situations and the camera would follow him around while he whines and moans. Just like Last week’s arena challenge, anyone would’ve bemoaned going last. Biggie picks Frood last and homeboy was left digging for roots like a pissed rabit. This week anyone would’ve loved going last and Biggie picks him first, and everytime Frood never disappoints with his reactions. Sometimes it pays to react, othertimes not so much. Frood must learn the difference between the two or Biggie or any of the other housemates will keep playing off his emotions. Some games are better played with the head and BB is no exception.

As an avid people watcher and social experiment enthusiast, I watched a segment of the Frood-Esther love melodrama circa 2 to 4 a.m. that left me a little ashen-faced- felt almost like a child caught peeping through the neighbours' keyhole, rightly so because Esther was so camera conscious that I felt like a peeping, Tom. So this compelling quirky love story finally crawled to the one and a half base; there was a lot of touching under the sheets. At a point Esther nodded in affirmation and Frodd slid downwards under the sheets, and I’m almost certain had a mouthful of Esther’s booobies before the Camera got as uncomfortable as I was and swiveled away from them. Understandably, the camera never went close to them again for the next two hours while rotating between the drooling and snoring housemates.

Point is: BB is a social experiment and the contestants like the rest of us are flawed. However unlike these contestants, none of us have lived in a confined space with total strangers in our faces all day without any exits to escape their drama, and with hundreds of cameras and microphones trying to capture our every thought process, words, facial expressions, and actions. These people are humans not machines. There are a lot of emotional, psychological and sexual conflicts we are not privy to going on internally and otherwise. I’ve watched live sex (with no duvet) on BB Mzanzi, BB Brazil and BB Finland to mention a few. But to the sentimental, judgemental and hypocritical Nigerian every movement under the duvet automatically translates to sex, pre-intimacy maybe, but definitely not sex. Actual coitus occurs when the res is in rea, and you can’t see shiiit under the duvet or can you?

So before the bloggers take their butcher’s knives to this meat and pare it to the bare bone, stop judging these people rather empathize with them. Some of the comments here are outrightly disgusting. I understand that trolling is now a national part-time, still… Please drop your moral lenses and watch BB for what it truly is- a social experiment. See these people only as the test subjects they are who might be different individuals outside these confined spaces and under different circumstances. If you are incapable of doing that watch for its entertainment value alone, but keep your judgment to yourself. Sucks that some of them will come out to read the disgusting falsehood peddled against them.

So did Esther allow Frodd a guy she allegedly loathes to have access to her body just to provide entertainment content to a sleeping audience because she wants to survive eviction or are their elements to their story that we missed? Watch, think and try to empathize. That is one way to understand human behavior.

I don’t get why people lampoon this Frodd character for his “foolish” display of love on Continental TV. The derision is almost at fever pitch on all social media platforms and it is even more exacting when viewed alongside the constant mockery and sniggers from his fellow housemates. Dude is steadily climbing the charts for being one of the most abused housemates in BBN/BBA history; chants of idiot, mumu, foolish boy rent the airwaves. I understand that it is cringe-worthy, embarrassing and morbidly entertaining to watch him running around like a headless chicken after Esther who for some reason has chosen to indulge him as a lap dog rather than return some of the affection she is greedily milking dry. But do you know why you feel embarrassed on his behalf? That guy is you! Yes! You! He is a mirror into our respective souls.

We’ve all been prey to the fangs of love at one time or the other in our lives. We’ve all been victims at one time or the other of that emotional vampire who locked his or her fangs on our pumping heart, drained every iota of blood from all its chambers and left us for an emotional corpse. That is why you loath this ridiculed and obsessed lovemate. So the guys feel emasculated by his display? Give me a break! Many have done worse for Love. And the girls are disgusted by Mr. Love Pest? But you have numbers stored in your phone as Mr. Maga or Brother Mugu or Officer Mumu, and you milk these men for all the love-gifts you can get so how are you better than Esther? Believe me Somebody’s Love na Somebody’s mugu. That is the way of Love. Unrequited love is the game changer in the arena of love. Na when love don slam you and you no learn, na dat time your mumu start. Point is, we’ve all done stupid things in the name of love that made us recoil in horror when eye don clear. So sheath your tongues and fingers all ye macho men and sanctimonious girls.

There are times I wish Frodd was leading us on; long have I longed for that diary room session when he would confess that he’s been acting Lost in Love for a reason. But Alas I’m still waiting to exhale. And I have no grouse with the girl either. Still, I feel that the infamy being foisted on this guy for this very reason is grossly unjustified, not when he’s the true star of the show. His emotional vulnerability and the fact that he trundles on with his quest however inglorious it may seem and oblivious to the barbs diected at him makes him a riveting character to me. He is not a villain but a victim of love like most of us, and there’s no crime in loving someone however unrequited it might seem. Long after the show had wrapped and the cameras have stopped rolling and the lights go dark, he’s the one name I’ll remember.

Lest I forget, Frodd was not the first housemate to obsess over a fellow housemate. Kevin Rwang Pam, the first Nigerian to win BBA obsessed over the Tanzanian Housemate, Elizabeth. It was his only flaw because he was the perfect housemate that season. Africa loved Kevin and loathed Elizabeth for the seemingly unrequited love at the time. They ensured she was out on her first nomination, and as Kevin cried on his bed consolatory messages were scrolling across the screen: ‘We’re sorry Kevin. Please don’t cry we did it for you. She was distracting you from your game.’ Kevin went on to win BBA The Revolution and married his Lady Elizabeth. Frood is not as loved as Kevin was and Esther is no Elizabeth. So sadly, I see no happy ending for this couple a la Kelvin and Elizabeth. I would actually loath to watch the eviction show where Frood would be proclaiming his undying love for Esther on the eviction stage while she mocks him in the presence of other housemates, or worse, Frood wailing in the house being mocked by the housemates while Esther is on the eviction stage telling Ebuka she can’t wait to see Nelson again.. Still, I watch…
Phew!!! All this epistle just for Frodd. Well… don’t blame me. Real recognizes real.

This here is a black thread; I have always been convinced that NL has its fair share of creepy-crawlies, but the woodworks been surely emptied. What a dizzying array of morbid characters- like vultures at the sniff of rotting carcass, black wings beating out the glare of the sun. It is indeed dark in here- a convention of the bizzare, an or.gy of oddities- in attendance were Psychopaths, Sociopaths, Sadists and Maso-sadists, Frat boys and reformed made men, and for honourable mention a closet necrophilliac. After reading some comments here I strongly recommend periodic psychiatric evaluation for all Nigerians, we do really have some confirmed schizos, psychos and split personalities walking freely amongst us. We have been collectively abused by inept and corrupt leaders, the country is a zoo and the law of the jungle reigns supreme.
Pray tell how a sane person can partake, witness or even revel in this gory mass murder? In a country bereft of mental health practitioners and institutions- where you are only "madd" when you are found in filthy rags foraging through a putrid pile of garbage-there is no justification for mob justice. And people are queueing up for videos? For blooody what? To wet their blood lust? Some fetish or a morbid trophy perhaps.

To the victims of violent crimes- we all are; the unbridled ra.pe of our commonwealth is breeding monsters amongst us. But we cannot allow these people to hurt our bodies and also our souls. We cannot lose our abilities to empathise for that we make us less than human and no animal has ever tamed a human. We cannot allow criminals to make us lose our humanity. We have to rise up with one voice and say ENOUGH to the madness that is our reality for the sake of posterity.

To all with emotional and mental scars inflicted on us by the criminal elements in our midst,may God give us the strength to heal, but the gory murder of these boys is a travesty of justice and must be condemned by any discerning mind.

I love this piece- the human angle versus Hollywood themed triumph over adversity storyline does it for me- though it does atimes have that African villagers come to the Olympics ring to it. Still if Nigerian journalists would bother to do more investigative journalism rather than their patented sludge-dredging tabloid reporting- I mean they stereotypically jumped onto the bandwagon when the team appeared to be on a roller-coaster ride and jumped off as soon as the wheels were about to come off.

The article reaffirms my belief that D'tigers are a team to be celebrated rather than derided. And that Coach Bakare and a few good men like him are the type of personae needed in Nigerian sports- not the pepper soup guzzling, estacode chasing type running down our sports just to fill their already bloated pockets. Ultimately D'tigers first sojourn at the Olympics must be remembered for the sacrifice of its cast and crew rather than for that unfortunate loss to the over pampered American stars.

Accusations and counter-accusations, blames and counter blames, punches and counter-punches, round houses and mule kicks, so what gives?

So Femi Otedola has suddenly grown a conscience and wants to expose Farouk Lawan and his ilk as the "corrupt legislooters" they are? We already know that the National Assembly is a House of Thieves, he need not bother. Wonders then that his obvious zeal for his fatherland and renewed sense of patriotism did not inform him to blow the whistle on Lawan until the probe report was published? Or did Mr. Lawan collect the bribe yesterday? His actions are tantamount to trying to discredit the umpire after the game and thereby nullify its results. At least Arunma Oteh had the good sense to 'rat out' Herman Hermbe while the SEC probe was on-going, and another was appointed in his stead to complete the exercise. More than Lawan's actions, Otedola's motives are quite ulterior.

I don't care much for either Lawan or Otedola, but I have a good sense to which of the duo would be happier if the Fuel Subsidy scammers never get to see the inside of a court room.

one of the fat grubs churned out of that world class woodworks producing overnight billionaires in Nigeria, Femi Otedola also could fare well as a writer of fiction. I mean, here's a well crafted story; replete with suspense and political intrigue- an obvious bestseller.

still can't manage to suspend my disbelief though.

there are a host of questions to ask, amongst which is:

Why was Zenon still named in the probe, if Otedola had curiously "agreed" to pay up after an avalanche of solicitous calls from Lawan?

Why pay a "cover up" fee when there is nothing to cover up?

Which other personality/entity whether phantom, real or zombie received Farouk Lawan's "pay or be exposed" phone calls apart from Zenon?

Over to you, Mr. Otedola

LMAO @ flying for 10years without incident or even an emergency landing. Ha! Na only seconds from disaster and ten years of such record amounts to nada. Instead of claiming, these airline operators should make their maintenance profile issues of public record. How regularly do you carry out maintenance and who certifies them. Being a member of IATA does not suffice, sure Dana boasts of such membership too
For those attacking Nnorom, you can kill the messenger, but the message rings loud.

"E be like say dey want to act another movie again o!"

Another probe to determine what Why the ill-fated Dana plane went down taking many lives with it? The answer is simple: Ask Alaska Airlines why they off loaded the plane from their fleet; it had a history of mishaps and yet somehow Dana Airlines managed to "smuggle" the darned coffin into Nigeria cos someone refused to do his/her job. Dana has been playing "Russian roulette" with the lives of Nigerians with same aircraft for years cos someone refused to do his/her job, and 153 (plus unknown lives) later the vaunted senate wants to do their job, which is to grandstand before the cameras, waste tax payers' money on 'blunt' probes, collect their sitting allowance, etc.

Oya cast and crew over to you...another melodrama to keep us entertained, while Nigeria runs out of grave sites.

Politics / Re: World Bank Presidency: Who Takes The Day Okonjo Or Kim? by Rheinmetal(m): 7:11pm On Apr 16, 2012
At last America's stranglehold on the World Bank presidency is unbroken.

NOI's rejection is a clear case of nepotism and a mockey of the same meritocracy that these western nations claim to have built their civilisation on. Alas America always look to their own and poor Ngozi got cast to the kerb. The moral of the story is that NOI despite her vaunted qualifications was passed over by same institution she had served meritoriously sometimes to the detriment of the interests of her people. For her a harsh lesson in loyalty, she would be wont to serve as a footnote in this scam of a "selection" process and a reminder of the hypocrisy of the west. And for Dr. Kim, he will remain the face of this hypocrisy- at least until he could prove his mettle as a worthy choice for the plum post.

Late to the parry as usual. cry

Ah! The sweet smell of victory. Well done Nlanders, we did it! Y’all shld be proud of yourselves cos I believe victory would have been near impossible without the NL revolution and input. Uti became a serious contender when Nlanders started to believe in him and what he stood for: the prejudice and jaundiced hate Nigerians unjustly suffer at the hands of the so-called SADC parochialisms. One could gauge the groundswell of support for Uti from the mood of Nlanders; and once we believed I had no doubts that we could do it. As Nigerians as we fight to shed the borrowed robes of ill-judged bigotry in which we are being shod by the foreign community, legitimate success on an international scale remains the holy grail we seek, and here in Nland, as much as we come together to share our communal woes as Nigerians here, Nland remains the holy ground where we celebrate any Nigerian of note that has achieved success thru legitimate means and by a dint of hardwork. This was why for once in my Nland lifetime I raised a dissenting voice to another expressing his opinion in a public forum. The Naija spy and his ilk must learn not to desecrate our NL sacred ground with ill-conceived criticisms of a Naija youth fighting hate and prejudice for his deserved shot at legitimate success, much so when I was being tagged a criminal by a rag tag band of snotty-nosed supporters calling themselves MUFC. Nuff said!!!!

To the so-called MUFC and all Munya sympathizers, for as long as the SADC continues to regionalize a game of individuals, Naija will continue to make BBA its own.

@stankayy, will hold you to your word, make sure Uti attends the next service at Nland Victorious Assembly to pay his tithe. We don’t need his dollar, but a note of appreciation would be a nice deposit of his goodwill for the next BBA contender from Naija, which could be you!!!

As a reality star, he withdraws only from the Bank of Goodwill, and the Bank of Goodwill only recognizes Freewill accounts, and with Freewill accounts there’s only one passcode: civility.

Unfortunately I’m inclined to believe those claiming that Kevin became an ingrate. Sad as it is, a work colleague of mine was riding the airport shuttle next to him, and asked Kevin if he was supporting Uti and Kevin replying in a gruff tone asked sarcastically in return: ‘did anyone support me?’ Needless to say my colleague and a lady standing next to them took Kevo to task about the debt he owes the Nigerian public, this was about a week before his FB page brouhaha. May Uti not wake tomorrow and ask the same question, when it is his turn to support someone else. I didn’t hear an Amen. embarassed

To all, I suggest we leave the thread running for a coupla weeks longer to share updates!

This is Rhein signing out and saying Good Morning, Good night and May God bless us all

P.S. Meanwhile, that pix of a shell-shocked Munya is my new screen saver to keep me in check anytime I want to get big-headed.
