Cool, who's this friend of yours? you might wanna hook me up. LOL j/k
How many drinks do you take in a row when binging? I don't think it matters if you do it once a year. Am I scaring you enough? tongue
Oh hell no, I could never pretend to enjoy a foul-tasting drink even if I tried.
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by ravenzord(m): 5:50pm On Aug 25, 2009
NO! No way am I hooking U up wiv my friend,dat guy's a rabid womanizer,infact if U see anybody who looks lik he could be a friend of mine,pls run away,LOL. I'm usually done for after d 5th,6th bottle. . .pretty lightheaded. U'r gonna have 2 learn how 2 pretend,cos one day U'll be moving in 'high circles',n all U'll be drinkin will be Champagne;Rosay,Moet(which all taste like sour palm wine if U ask me). N yeah u're scaring me; I'm afraid,VERY afraid tongue. I must add dt my folks re teetotalers,n no alcohol of any kind is allowed in d house,so dt makes me d black sheep embarassed.




Nw where re dese thoughts of mine when I need'em?
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by chiogo(f): 7:01pm On Aug 25, 2009
Me sef I'm a man-izer  cool tongue Black sheep of the family?? aww, we're all black sheeps of the family in certain things.
How old are you again? what's the legal age to drink in naija sef?

Which reminds me of this thought of mine. Why are negative things attributed to black or dark shade? It's perturbing. e.g black sheep, dark secret, etc
Reminds me of the movie, Malcolm X and I kinda do agree with the whole fight for superiority thing. It's sad.
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by ravenzord(m): 7:20pm On Aug 25, 2009
Hmm,seems like s'muns been moving with d black liberation crowd. I think it's actually d dark thing dat's scary. . .when U were really young U were afraid of the dark ryt? N den U had no social preconditioning,so U really can't blame it on anyun.



BTW,I'm pretty old. . .I'm positively ancient(as my profile pic shows) so dere's no concerns bout d legality of my drinking,it's not as if Naija has any drinking laws self. U're a man-izer eh? Interesting news cool
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by chiogo(f): 7:37pm On Aug 25, 2009
Shoot! I'm still scared of the dark. shhh!!!! Well, those phrases have been there since the beginning of time. But we all know society affects our view on things. If the dark wasn't propagated to seem a scary thing then we wouldn't consider it scary. It's all in the head. LOL I'm so not with any black liberation crew. If I was, I'd be going to a historically black college.

Naija people and age - always hiding it.  tongue I know naija is lawless and I hate that sometimes, not about the drinking thing though.
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by ravenzord(m): 8:14pm On Aug 25, 2009
Did ur mom or dad ever sit U dwn n tel U: 'Chi,dark is scary'? Of course not.Newly born babies cry when dey suddenly wake up in d dark,so I guess bein afraid of d dark is an innate idea. U'r stil afraid of dark huh?(Ve U read a book of d same name by Sidney Sheldon? Totally divine),I think U need sum 'Raven' therapy,LOL;I love d dark myself,kinda lyk Riddick n Daredevil put 2geda,nd I could teach U 2 also love it.U game?

D 'Naija pple lyk hiding deir age' statement,is dt a ploy 2 get me 2 tell mine? Cos it's working; I'm 19. Really not dat self conscious bout my age,jst lyk kiping people in d dark cos ev'ryun always thinks I'm older. I'v got a prity gud idea about urs sha. N I'm a womanizer of d non-rabid variety,so I guess we'r 2 of a kind,HE HE.
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by chiogo(f): 9:19pm On Aug 25, 2009
No, I haven't read the book by Sidney Sheldon. I love Stranger in the mirror
You're 19? ha! I knew it tongue
LOL @ teach me how to love being in the dark. Ok, I'm game.

Why are we the only ones on this thread? grin
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by ravenzord(m): 10:05pm On Aug 25, 2009
Mehn! I was wondering d same thing 2 O! Seems lyk lotsa pple check out d thread but dey dn't bother putting down their thoughts,maybe cos dey dn't really ve any(which is impossible) or lyk me dey'r all having writer's block n can't seem 2 present d thoughts in an orderly manner,it could also be due 2 d fact dt the Literature/Writing section gets very lil traffic(which just goes 2 show hw much Nigerians love books,LIMM).I'm seriously cnsidering changing d thread name 2 'Chiogo n Ravenzord Chat Thread' LMAO. Newaiz I think dere's stil hope 4 d others.

As 4 Stranger in the Mirror,dt's a very sad story,poor Toby,loving a woman who didn't love him back. What gave U d impression I was 19? I luk 25 (I think)
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by chiogo(f): 10:13pm On Aug 25, 2009
'Chiogo and Ravenzord's chat thread'. . .hmm not bad tongue Yeah, this section gets dull a lot.

stranger in the mirror was a lotta fun. I read it at 10, I think. secretly oo, my dad caught me once and asked me to put it away though. tsk. The book really depicted hollywood life as it truly is: Jill and her name change to fit in; it ain't easy being a celeb. you look 25 coo 45 nee. Naw, you look your age.

Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by Nobody: 12:57am On Aug 26, 2009
Paha, I can imagine, life'd be so boring without them, for me anyway, I'm a born daydreamer
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by chiogo(f): 1:04am On Aug 26, 2009
Yeah. . .dreaming is fun when you're fully awake. I don't do 'sleep dreaming'. weird, I know. I forget em easily but daydreaming is more realistic 'cause I can think straight while awake. It's my own way of being a go-getta. lol

The Thoughts Of A Reformed Reprobate: On The Search For The Cool

'The Cool' We all think we knw wat it is,it's evrywhere;on TV,radio,billboards,magazines e.t.c.We'r told if we uze this particular perfume,smoke this particular brand of cigarette,drink this particular type of beer,even use a particular network,it makes us cool,and of course we follow this advice,cos 'Afterall that cool model uses it so if I use it I'l be kool also,ryt?' Wrong. Even in our workplace there's always that cool person who's always unflappable,uses that cool ride and is just incredibly attractive. And for students,dere are always lotsa them,folks who seem 2 operate by their own set of rules,who people always wanna listen 2,they'v got the charisma n charm u've always wanted,and lotsa times U catch urself thinkin 'I wish I could be lyk dat'.
Have we ever paused 2 wonder what makes these people cool? What makes'em so different from evry'un else,so self-confident? Well I hav,my search 4 d cool's been a long one,ever since kindergarten when I found out that d girl I gav my cake 2 gave it to anoda boy,n I wondered 'How did he do that?' I never found out,but my curiosity had been piqued,from then on I was always on the lookout for this seemingly elusive 'cool'. In primary school I was lucky enough 2 be one of d smartest guys around so I got my fair share of attention,but 2 me this wasn't enough.The guys I saw as cool all seemed 2 have one thing in common;they all played football,and they didn't cry when whipped. Noting this,and being a football enthusiast myself,I quickly threw myself into joining d class team,however it just wasn't meant to be;I couldn't 'raise' the ball,my legs seemed 2 have a mind of their own,whenever I attempted a dribble I'd find myself flat on d floor,opponent with the ball. After about 2 matches of dis bumbling,evrybody stopped choosing me on their team,I became a compulsory spectator,and dat was how my budding football career was killed,obviously God didn't intend 4 me 2 be a soccer star(which is really unfair,who knows,I mighta been earning 150000 pounds a day right now,instead of waitin 4 my Pop 2 remember me). As 4 d 'cane dusting',I was sure that the teachers beat me harder than they beat the others,cos d strokes were too painful and I couldn't see why anyun wouldn't cry when beaten. I came 2 the conclusion that primary school cool just wasn't for me,I'd have 2 wait til sec school.
In secondary school things got worse,I was smart,but so was ev'ryun else,so I didn't get any special attention,just another of the unknowns,lost in the crowd. Since I was pretty vain(I still am,a lil bit),I didn't like this state of things so I decided 2 change it,and I tried solving the problem the only way we geeks know how to: I studied. I studied the 'big boys',checked out what they wore,how they talked,how they walked,where they hung out,what they did(Hell,I even learnt how they sat down,LOL),and by my JSS3 summer break I was sure I'd gotten it down pat.In SS1 I came back fully prepared 2 be seen as cool,sagging baggy pants and all,200 naira watch firmly on my wrist.I changed my vocab,my mannerisms,everything,began 2 seat at the back of class even though I was shortsighted and couldn't see sh*t,started making dumbass wisecracks in class,consequently getting punished for dem,after a while I even stopped goin 2 class,all in a bid 2 be seen as cool.My friends couldn't understand me anymore,I'm sure they could see through my wannabeism,but what they couldn't see was this fat,self-conscious boy trying hard to be accepted by all.I finally made some sorta impact,folks who wouldn't acknowledge me before started greeting me,I could say sumthing and ev'ryun would stop 2 listen. . .but deep inside me I knew I wasn't whole. As I got in2 SS3 and intensified my self-reflections,I gradually realizd that it was kinda okay 2 be the old me,I could still be gentle and cool at the same time,I didn't always have 2 be the sarcastic,joke-cracking noisemaker 2 be fun,folks lykd me 4 who I was.
Unfortunately I didn't fully discover myself till I graduated,wrote my 1st JAMB,got rejected by U.I,nd had 2 spend a year at home(funny how mind-numbing boredom makes us all philosophers).It was one of these evenings that I,lyin on my bed,realized fully that I felt most comfortable when I wasn't pretending,I didn't owe anybody anything,I didn't have 2 pander 2 the public's expectations,I was coolest when I was me,It was a rather exhilarating discovery,as mask-wearing is a rather tiring business.From then on I decided 2 say and do exactly as I felt and not as anybody expected me to.For me 'The Cool' is being confident in self,being able 2 take bottled water if it's what U want when guys around are pressing U 2 take beer,wearin what U wanna wear even if it isn't in vogue,bein comfortable wit urself and your flaws so U dn't try 2 hide dem,but strive 2 make oneself better,being real,above all it's truthfulness 2 self,cos self-deception is d worst form of deceit.

Since we are all humans sometimes our insecurities show and we find ourselves relapsing in2 our states of uncoolness,we fake some things cos we wanna impress some folks,we don't want them 2 see our faults,even I am guilty of this,n it takes all my strength 4 me 2 get back 2 being cool.However even though I'm not dat spiritual,I find solace in a verse from d bible:2 Corinthians 3 vs 5: 'Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our sufficiency comes from God'.So U see it's not a "you' thing,it's a human thing,U're d coolest when U're yourself.Think about it.



You spend ur life in search of the cool. . .only 2 find out it was always inside of You- Ravenzord
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by chiogo(f): 2:29am On Aug 26, 2009
Damn, that's deep. We've all gone thru such phases, it's how we deal with them that defines us.
Well, I don't blame you; high school is pretty tough. I probably didn't have to make too much changes as I didn't face much peer pressure.
I've always been into fashion, so it's not like I can be initiated into something I'm already part of, LOL.
But I do remember sitting at the back of the class too even though I'm practically blind. My sight got really worse and then, I didn't care where I sat anymore.
Started wearing glasses at 13 though my sight has been horrible since I was 11 or so. I just dreaded glasses 'cause only 'geeks' wear that.
Now I really don't give two flips, I'll rather be a geek with style tongue
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by ravenzord(m): 1:23pm On Aug 26, 2009
@ Chigo LOL,Geek with style. . .I didn't start wearing glasses till I was 17,after having d aforementioned epiphany.I was really gon' write more,but my battery started blinking.I was gon' quote one bible verse which really helped me,but now I'v 4gotten it tongue. I think I'll modify it later sha. N it's not coo and nee,it's ko and ni,I've told U before wink.




@ ibkaye: Welcome, I was an established fantasist in my younger days,used 2 fantasize myself 2 sleep,daydreaming about how I'd be d richest man on d earth in d world,n all d females in d world would be wanting me,funniest thing was dat I actually believed d dreams,LMAO. I've outgrown em now sha,now I only dream about making money cool,being an Igbo man nd all.
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by ravenzord(m): 2:55pm On Aug 26, 2009
It's been modified,try reading it again,if U can brave it. grin
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by chiogo(f): 5:09pm On Aug 26, 2009
Aww, look at Raven making his own quotes. I read it again - brilliant!!
LOL @ Learning the way they sat. oh geesh, you sure put in work  tongue
Of course I know it's 'ko' and 'ni'. . .I just funkyrized(your lingo) it. hehe
And umm, I don't remember crying when whipped. . .maybe once.  grin
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Ok, my next thought is titled Struggle to be Superhuman

   Everybody knows I have a petite body, I've been known as the 'skinny one' and lotsa names. Sometimes flattering, other times. . not so much as it's intertwined with weakness. And being the fighter that I am, I do not want to be seen as weak because that is something I'm not. I will give some whooping in a fight, best believe that.  grin But that's not the issue. My motivation stemmed from wanting to be perfect, I'm already referred to as a genius by my mates, one of my teachers once called me an 'over achiever' when she learned I wasn't even 16 yet but in the 11th grade - that is not common with Americans but not a biggie where I'm from. I wanted to be more, even when I learned I was the #1 ranked student graduating from my school, it wasn't enough. I also wanted to be prom queen, and yes I did look dope but we sure can't have it all. Thinking of it now, I know there woulda been a hell of animosity towards me before I left the school if I did win prom queen. Like seriously, why should I be the best in everything? If I was these other girls, I would probably feel the same way too. In Jay-z's words, "If I wasn't me, I'll probably hate me too" LOL But how I handle my envy, frustrations, and insecurities differ a great deal from these girls. If you have something I want, I don't go about showing my anger towards you publicly. Rather, I execute my propaganda in a subtle manner, you won't even realize when it hits you. Yes, I'm that bad. LOL

   Back to the struggle, I felt basketball would alleviate some of my fears as a weakling but the truth was that I was never weak to begin with. I'm a strong person for going through everything I've gone thru in life and still keeping my head up. Strength varies - not only physical strength matters although like I said, I whoop backside. I guess it was an innate feeling that playing a "man's" sport would make me seem strong and also "well-rounded" as it is known to Americans. Add that to the fact that most Ivy-league schools like Harvard like these well-rounded students. You gotta be book-smart(4.0 GPA on a scale of 4.0), you also have to be street-smart(sociable, out going, "the jock", the debater, and everything else). I felt like I had to meet these requirements but is that even realistic? We all know that book-smart or not, something gotta give. You just can't win 'em all. One might possess all these characteristics but still not be up to 'par'. Does that then make you weak? your guess is as good as mine.

   Basketball was tough and the only advantage really was my height(I made try-outs due to that) because my shooting was horrible, I gotta be honest to myself. I've never been a tomboy, I'm girlie but I don't take it to the obsessive level and I do try things out of the ordinary, which were originally made for the 'men'. I'm stubborn so who cares? Heck, I already listen to gangsta rap since I was probably 8(thanks to my brother and his friends. funny thing though is that he's currently not into rap as much as I am, what a U-turn!!). Basketball practice was the worst - every single day after school for about 2 hours and being winter season, it gets dark pretty early and with the cold(I got a ride home but still. . . tongue) and having to do Calculus, Humanities, and Science home works when I'm barely awake. I needed a wake-up call ASAP and I made the call myself by quitting basketball albeit reluctantly. I had to study for my SAT's(psh, who doesn't wanna go to Harvard?) but this lady coach preferred that I came to practice, home, and away games yet make it home to study for these SAT's and do home works all at THE SAME TIME. wow!!! what do I look like? However, the most important aspect was proving to myself that I'm not a weakling by giving b-ball a chance. Now, it's my favorite sport in the whole world and now I have several husbands in the NBA(they just don't know it yet, shhh!!!). I also remember making my first free-throw shot at our first game and that was enough to remind me of my prowess and my ability to achieve anything. I decided to embrace my girlie nature in all its glory, knowing that I'm as strong as I want to be.


TO BE CONTINUED------->
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by ravenzord(m): 11:17pm On Aug 26, 2009
Wooow,true confessions. . .I understand tryna go in2 a sport cos U don't want folks 2 think u're weak,I usd 2 get in2 fights a lot back in sec school 4 dat very reason. We all try 2 deal with our fears in different ways,some people tend 2 ignore'em and hope they go away,while some people(like you) try to do something 2 confront d fear and convince demselves and everyone else dat dey were never afraid,cos if U search deep within urself u'l find out you weren't just tryna prove 2 ev'rybody dat u weren't weak,you were also tryna prove it 2 urself. Nw dt I'm thru wit d bullsh*t psychoanalysis,wat's ur height? N I take it u finally succeeded in ur b-balling. So which team re U a fan of? N u hav SEVERAL husbands in d NBA? Hmm. . .freaky,LOL. I think I'da preferred bein d smartest kid in skool 2 bein d finest guy around,nd of course it'd hav bin dope if I coulda bin d 2,but as U said,we can't win'em all. I lyk d title of ur piece BTW,reminds me of dt Five for Fighting song: 'Superman'

Take note of dose quotes of mine,everyone wil be sayin'em years from now,at least U'l b able 2 say U saw'em first,LIMM. Don't U knw d classic 'cool guy' sitting posture? U don't sit up in ur chair,U slouch in it,one hand behind d back of d chair,one leg stretchd out in front of the other,idea is 2 look as bored and nonchalant bout ur surroundings as possible. Funkyrized. . .did I say that? HE HE.

raven i see ur work wink
heya err one else sorry im quite lazy rite now been blogging for 6 hrs str8

okay. . . my thoughts

well, grew up around different crowds at different times cos i was always moving from place to place, so i never really in the true sense of the word had a 'normal' childhood. i mean my relating with 'other' people made me realise i was quite odd and endlessly weird. I settled down for the 6 yrs of secondary school and went full out to be 'normal' listening to hard core rap, trying to talk 'normal', learning pidgin in my final class, doing the whole girly bidness, well, u know the whole 9. Funny enough my efforts never seemed to pan out into the scheme of things, i mean i went thru pretty much the kid with a constant question mark hovering over her head.
gap year was awesome i spent it prett much around friends n travelling actually i had 2 years as my gap year, by the second year i refused to go to college, stalled on my application processes, lied to my folks, did everything i could do to avoid college i guess in my lil world, i was trying to avoid the inevitable.

To be continued
Re: Your Thoughts ,my Thoughts,our Thoughts. by chiogo(f): 11:16pm On Aug 27, 2009
@Ibk, nice. . .I can imagine the whole stereotype thing on your choice of music. I get that sometimes when I mention I'm a rap fan. smiley
People sorta expect every so-called rap fan to be raw, and constantly use profane words, so wrong.

@Bluespice, you have a lot of reading to do grin I moved around a lot myself, maybe not as much as you. went to 3 high schools LOL.
will like to read more of your thoughts.

@ Chiogo: Ehen,I guess dt was a stereotype,xpectd U 2 watch a serial s'pozd 2 be happenin in Boston cos U reside dere, tongue. LMLO means Laughing My Lungs Off (I think).


@ Topic: I read sumfin in a book yesterday n it got me thinking,d writer askd a question n I cn't rmember it exactly but I'ma paraphrase: If U didn't need 2 make money anymore,lik U had dis faraway billionaire uncle who died and willed his whole fortune 2 U,would U keep on doing whatever it is u're doing now? Would U keep working where U are at d moment? Or would U continue study whatever it is U'r studying at d moment? I guess d question is,d'u enjoy what u're doin at d moment or d'u just do it cos it's necessary? Think about it,I'd lyk 2 see ev'ryun's opinion on dis. . .I VILL BE BAAACK.
