Oh mehn!!!

Ranter

@stillwater



my name still remains , sir rantalot

could you have forgotten so soon.








and goatee gets married


the first time i saw him

i laughed my ass off, then i disliked him(we were 13years)

a lil after that i pretended to tolerate him

2 breaths later,we hung out,then we had mutual friends

by age 15, there was no denying it,goatee was officially my friend

he still walked like a peacock though, and i still did the occasional sniffle at his ways

the youthful #@#%%^^&**(()))*&^%$$##@@ we all did as a crew

his tendency to exaggerate was renowned,but now we dint care, cos when he talked we knew what

to sieve off and what is concrete ,was one of the first people to teach me how to drive, then he fell off my bike

had a few on and on relationships in school,and colorful nicknames we had for all his wannabe girlfriends(note: me i was single oooo)


left school started working

like joke joke he started dating this lovely girl

yesterday i was at his bach eve, today i am writing this from the church

goatee, has betrayed us, thought we said marriage was for sissies? real men dont get married,

or atleast not before our vision 2013, now he has left the crew,and i hear rumblings from other crew members

like one has billed his for January another February yet another may and December's !!

Gosh, whatever happened to honor amongst brothers? vision 2013 is turning sore now

i cant and i refuse to hold the torch alone for that long,i cant recruit new crew men, for the singular reason that i cant take my history back with them,



very unfair i tells you.

enter goatee's mumsy looking radiant in her iro and buba

'Ar--- how are you, its being a long time oo,

you people seem to be enjoying Lagos life

efe wa ile mo

so now, you know you people are all friends and its time for transition

when are we coming for your wedding?'





my plastic smile is intact

my frames protecting

my bloodshot eyes(aftermath of no sleep)

and the words just don't come out of my throat

what do i tell her? vision 2013? that her son dint follow the script?

or that the one i pine for, i havent heard from in 10 days

and suddenly the storm thickens,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,








who says life is not a rant?

awww

lol


you are indeed a silly

na me you dey play violin for?

Awww this is beautiful I loveddddddddddd it

Ahhhh!
Humans
dont we just love the stench of ignorance?
i mean they are so ignorant that when faced with the true value of their ignorance they are too blinded to recognise it
they'lld rather bask in the euphoria of their ignorance than begin to accept that they are actually ignorant!
and there's the select few,
those that see things in the form in which they really are
see things without distractions from any angle
they see things purely in energy in pure undiluted wisdom
if only i belonged to this prestigeous group
but guess what?
i am very happy where i am
as though i may be ignorant
and do not see things purely,
i however do not also suffer from accute psychosis!

stillwater:

Awww this is beautiful I loveddddddddddd it

loved or love??

that is the question

@bluespice

hmm

seems you dont know the blissfulness of ignorance

the writeup had me spinning in circles and then calculating

is she claiming ignorance or just yabbing us ignorant ones.

i had to bring in my ignorance of calculus to play

but ignorantly forgot my Dy'Dx and ended doing additions and subtractions

the bliss of ignorance, to be aware and yet blissfully unaware

to be aware that our lifestyle in lagos,isnt very healthy yet be unperturbed \

the ignoramus isnt always the fool

he just chooses to be unaware








::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;now am more confused then when i started::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

see why i was ranting?
i am/was also confused

ahh now i have some very good reason to rant
"an egomaniac under Nairaland"
now where did i read that?
the writer was right *rolls eyes*

Banned eh.

hehetettehe

A Certifiable Rant.

yes oh and ig itell u the supposed reason
my head should actually be up in flames now in pure undiluted ranting!

FOMCLSH!!

ariblaze:

loved or love??

that is the question

Loved now. Did I tabun

i feel hollow


she dint exactly promise she would call

come to think of it,she dint exactly promise anything

cept of course,that we would have a storm to wade through

ignorantly,i was estatic,atleast because of the 'we' part'

the phone call never comes,she has the number i know,yet to call she doesnt

promised not apply pressure,yet i feel way beyond clueless,i have being rendered

virtually impotent with my inability to get through to her,via mails or phonecalls(the latter because i don't have her new number,or she probably hasnt gotten one yet,but she could still easily have gotten across)

could it just be because of my last mail to her?i wasnt exactly tactful(in all honesty i havent ever been,am the kind of guy who would jump first then worry about my chute later,suffice to say i have gotten a number of bumps due to this approach,but hey i am still kicking)

back to the mail, could it have been because of it?

or can it just be the pressure,or the seemingly pressure that might come from her family front?

really wanted her at goatee's(ref:goatee gets married) wedding with me,but that dint happen

its been 14days at the very least since her last email

should i or should i not mail her?

what would i say?

am thinking about you?i missed hearing from you?

missed your long emails? or your pleasant voice?

gah! it was even better when i got the answering machine




i sound like someone pinning at the very best and a stalker at the very worst she?

am beginning to feel that way,but then again i remember what she said about the storm and i feel

as though, she just needs to get through her personal issues first, her words 'let me know i have enough strength to deal with this'

this being: me,us,her family,the mode of our meeting,and what the world would say of it

hollow i feel, pain is long gone

strength to move on i can't seem to garner

work is a welcome distraction

on 2nd thoughts,maybe i am just the stalker

seeing everything in my minds eye, because thats what i want

i must be getting delusional,gash i need to get my mind straight

get my act right

just googled profile and mindsets of stalkers now,just to confirm we don't have anything in common


i must be losing my mind,or i have lost it already,

the heart i lost ages ago, now the mind follows

she says she stalkers me on nairaland(lol)

maybe i want her to read this, maybe i want her to know this

or maybe not

maybe this is just a rant to confirm am not losing my mind

maybe this is just all a big lie(but i am sure it isnt)

maybe she is as confused as i am

maybe she can't care less

maybe i am a stalker

maybe i am indeed delusional

so many maybes

but one thing am sure about is this:

i feel very very hollow.

stillwater:

Loved now. Did I tabun

you? tabon?

you are incapable my dear

just when you say you loved it

it means you dont love it anymore now

but when you say you love it,its past present and hopefully continous






bluespice and gamine ?

lol

bluspice or bluespice

aha

i think i get it now

who banned you?

whatcha do?

i did not indicate my real country! mchew
*rolls eyes*

the blind two eyed man

am a little short of titles

should i say the sledge hammer

because i certainly feel as though i just got one rammed into me

lol,funny how bluspice's rant about ignorance

and my rejoinder about been blissfully unaware,comes back to bite me in the ass

meeen,talk about being a clueless fool,why dint i guess,afterall it takes all but a minute to change personalities

hmmm,i am at work and for whatever reason since yesterday up on till this moment, the only song playing from my earpiece is whats beef by biggie

but i refuse to let that influence me, even though you don't owe me anything,is it fair that i don't know?

why would i even ask that question,it makes it sound like i think am important

its funny what knowing how a person writes can tell you,

it took one post and that familiar stirring,further investigations left me blown

i wish i can say i see the humor in it,but honestly i don't

well there is absolutely no use fighting the storm

when the person you are rolling shotgun with ,has unstrapped you

the man with two functional eyes and yet remains blind

nagode



:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::i need a smoke:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

hmn. . . intwestink

lmao!
i said it, we are all blissful in our ignorance
yet those that can see thru our ignorance are just suffering from accute psychosis
nywais why do i have the feeling that
blaze n vesucci are either very close or. . . . .

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; I NEED AN, ERR ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

in as much

as i am flattered to be compared with him(saw some of his writeups)

i am sadly not him

am not one for having multiple profiles

know me for who i am,the good, the bad or the ugly



@gamine

wetin do ambulance?

haba, all the ranting, hope everything is ok o

is everything ever really okay with

sons of adam?

the answer my dear ma, is no

some people bottle it up, some people vent it

venting has different avenues

i certainly don't want to be that guy that would snap someday

with my ak 47.:::::::and start target pratice with the objects of my discomfort

nah, thats not me.this page is designed exclusively for me and anyone else

who feels the need to just let it all out


the equilvalent of screaming my lungs out

lol.

ok, i ma drop a rant now.

I'm tired of pretenders

thats one of the worst things i hate in this life

why can't PEOPLE BE STRAIGHT

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

its just not fair, one ends up having secrets and things that just seep the life out of you,

is this a legit rant?

someone would ask me, don't you pretend??

i ask myself, Do i?

Do i pretend? to whom?

for what?

i Act, yes i act, especialy when compelled to

but is it really pretence too


IS THIS RANT LEGIT

kai!

bravo bravo bravo


this

its just not fair, one ends up having secrets and things that just seep the life out of you,

strikes a very painful cord in me

a question?

who suffers,the pretenders or the pretendees(lol,i mean the people pretended to)


and to answer your question yes,its a legit rant

it would get better though if you give a personal experience to it

of course you are allowed to hide behind the disclaimer,or claim the fifth afterwards

if that doesnt work, we have got your back

Gamine:


i Act, yes i act, especially when compelled to

but is it really pretense too

Is it just me or is this a no brainer

Last i checked, acting in any capacity is make believe. Is make believe not a form of pretense ?

@ gamine:

This is not a form of diss or anything like that, its just that your post implies you have the same problem.

Maybe not at the same level as the ones you see in others that you detest, but it's still there nonetheless.

IMO, you need not be defensive about it. It's when its done to extremes that it becomes abhorrent and quite sickening.
