I started lovin their songs when I first heard Don't Stop Believin'..twas used as the soundtrack for this movie - The Losers..nd 'Faithfully' was used as the soundtrack for another movie I cnt remember nw and 'Open Arms' in the movie, 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry' ..since then, I got hooked

It is a true saying that no human is perfect..even our holy brothers and sisters may attain heart perfection but they can't attain perfection in the head cuz no one can know everything..

However, we regard our partners as perfect not cuz they haven't got any imperfections but cuz we're so made that those imperfections are tolerable by us.. Hence, my idea of a perfect girl may be very very far from yours.. Most times, we see someone, write the person off totally yet that same 'write off' finds a partner that makes us feel hopelessly inferior..

Inasmuch as I have imperfections, character wise in mind, it even applies to the physical..

Personally, I could tolerate a pilferer, hell, I could even keep my cool and not lose my head if my girl tells me she had a moment of indiscretion with another boy.. But, I'll simply get crazy if my girl lies to me and wht worsens it all is when the girl tries to cover it up.. I just hate dishonesty in any shade..and I have a knack for discovering such acts..just plain intuition.. Sometimes, our partners feel they're just soo smart that they can do something bad and sweep it under the rug and live as if nothing happened... I'm emotional like this cuz this girl just did stuff like this, and she's fussing over me in a bid to cover up instead of just coming out plain.. I'm sincerely irritated.. God dey sha..

Err... So, what's the limit that you can tolerate from your partner?

To every rule there are exceptions.. I'm not at all surprised that one or two people beg to differ from my opinion as stated.. However, what is certain is, ruling out impotence (mental), cuz even if a man is physically impotent, the thoughts of intimacy with his 'friend' must cross his mind, the thots must come and most times it is mutual..the ladies just love living in deception..

freecocoa: Well I disagree cos I have male friends who are really 'just friends'.

all that will change with frequent contact with such 'friends' in seclusion

@didicold..my conscience acted out after the incident oo..while acconpanying her to her hostel I just started acting weird..but she was perfectly normal.. I subtly inquired if she cud remain asleep while sum1 touches her and she said 'no' and when I confessed to her, she was perfectly surprised..she even took it as a joke..that it wasn't possible..well, the sleep mustv been strong

@Uyi Iredia.. We didnt consummate it oo..we remained friends after graduation..lotsa calls and texts but we havent set eyes on each other since then

@mishydoo.. I feel so too now

@chidyhels.. Good times..good times

@abbey2sam.. Therez a way a girl makes her first impression on u and u consider her too sacrosanct to start a relatnshp wt her that wouldn't lead to marriage.. This view will certainly chng in d long run but the 'mistake' of starting off as 'just friends' is already made

@elrony..hehehe.. I believe that at sum point in my epistle I said that I postponed sex dates for a hang out wt her

@190-the-clown.. Everyone needs Jesus.. I'm sure ur nt problem free too

@wackyj1.. I believe it is safe to assume that my blood transforms to kerosene whn I'm with her

This story I want to relate, is the most outstanding of my not-so-proud-of-myself moments..

There was this girl, some while back in school, we'll call her 'C'.. On a certain night, while I was in class reading in my second year, she stepped in with another friend of mine, a boy named 'D' to read too.. After I'd made small talk with D, they sat on the seat I was sitting on and began reading.. This girl, is those kinda girls that boys respect.. I mean, her comportment was just soo perfect that from second year till we graduated, everyone, even fellow girls, called her Lady C.. No boy ever bragged in the hostel about how he touched her or did 'stuff' with her.. She was just that kinda girl..

However, I didnt notice her much then, until that night sitting close to her. Around 2am that night, I asked her to stroll with me that around the school grounds..everyone was feeling sleepy at that time so, she accepted.. We struck a friendship that night as we talked and talked and talked till around 5 when her hostel was opened. It seemed as if we'd known each other for ages..we almost instantly became comfy in each other's company..looking back now, I wish 'twas a relationship and not a friendship that was struck.. Anyway, we got very close, the calls the texts, the 'sweerie', 'darling' and what nots.. There were more night classes, I went to her room, she came to mine, I even later got a room all to myself and she always came visiting, we hung out, more strolls, we quarrelled, fought, then we hug and make up, we told ourselves our deepest secrets..u know, just the classic friendship and as M.I puts it, no forming and no film tricks..

The sweetest part of this friendship was that we never had any intimate engagements, no kissing, no romance..not to mention sex..twas just platonic.. Now, dont get me wrong, this girl isn't the type that dampens the sex urge, if anything, she heightens it..standing at 6ft, moderate frontal endowments, a spanking figure 8, a very voluptuous posterior..and a beautiful face to crown it all up.. As a man I most certainly am, with blood and not kerosene coursing through my veins, I got ideas but I never entertained them..but you can only fight nature for so long..

We kept at it till our final year..we kept other friends of the opposite sex oo.. However, I could postpone a sex date to hang out with her.. She could cancel a hang out with a male friend of hers, if I needed her to and all that.. When my friends come to ask me if we do stuffs, I tell them 'no' and they take it that I'm joking.. I almost socked a buddy of mine in the jaw when he called her a b!tch at her back when he'll call her Lady C normally..well, that's how close we were without the romance...

Until one night, during our final exams..we went to read one night..and while she was sleeping, I simply lost a hold of myself and squeezed her endowments till they screamed blue murder..the fact that I repeatedly did that got me crazy in my saner moments..up until that time I'd bn very proud of how much I could hold myself no matter the temptation..and yet twas with my friend that I lost my head..

Someone might be wondering why I feel soo bad, I mean, I didnt really do 'much'.. I think its just cuz I believed one can be 'just friends' with the opposite sex and maintain physical contact yet, not have any intimate dealings.. I now know that its an aberration..a contradiction to the laws of nature and you can fight nature for so long.. I actually told her sha..but that was after graduation and err, I was forgiven..still felt that I should share anyway..

Thanks for reading my epistle

I've been thinking, the Mbaano people both young and old use 'otuocha' as an ordinary exclamation.. Inasmuch as it sounds expletive and vulgar to an ordinary igbo man, among them, its just a normal thing, now, I'm wondering, what's the idea behind it? Btw, otuocha means 'white v.agina' or 'fair womanliness' whichever u like..

Eg, papa Nkechi, Nkechi your daughter just had an accident oooo!!! All the old men playing draft with papa Nkechi nd even papa Nkechi will shout 'OTUOCHA'!!! Before evn askin where she is..


Abeg, someone from Mbaano..please
