of role models and inspiration

okay, so i've been asked more than once in the past week, what email address my readers can use to reach me. i perfectly appreciate that one or two blog posts may be off the mark and you may not want to say that in the comment section and would rather drop me a silent line on your thoughts. so, being the democratic believer (having seen what happened to mubarak et al), i have decided to create a dedicated email account to this blog:

simplyoroquesview@gmail.com

and i hope to get an avalanche of mails...but those who know me beyond the blog, drop me lines all the time and ask me weird questions like the one below:

"when you write with dripping sarcasm and unpopular opinion, are you inspired by any persons living or dead?"

what i'd really like to say in response to that would be: "now look here missy, you really need to get your blood pressure checked or some other random stuff that will keep you the heck busy. i mean like seriously? you actually sat down and coined that one up? wow, you give the word 'boredom' a new definition..." etc. however, like hillary clinton, i'll keep my fake smile plastered on my face irregardless of my personal thoughts, give my most endearing fake laugh, pretend like its a question on advanced physics and actually attempt to give a real answer.

and so, yes i am inspired by people but they are are neither living nor dead. they're actually incapable of living or dying and so maybe i shouldn't call them people, but lets stick to the script shall we? [insert fake laugh here]. i am most influenced by the 3 characters immediately below and anyone who has had the misfortune of encountering these three would agree that they are the epitome of rude ill-mannered unconventional lazy sarcastic things to walk the face of the earth...and to impact it the most. the shock factor that they bring has made them unmissable and the inconvenient truth that they utter would make Al Gore look like a cheap chinese plagiarist.

 

there you go! admittedly, i have a bias for eric cartman because he swears like a sailor and taught me how to use "Gaddamnit" so fluently. so yeah, i hope that clears the air for you my dearest reader and please dont hesitate to ask me virtually anything. as always, i cannot guarantee that you will like the response but in the words of eric cartman "its a gaddamn world for the hippies", so hey.

see y'all around peeps.

nigeria and the needless debate

okay so usually, i avoid topics bordering on religion, politics and sexuality...but this one is hard to ignore (and as fearless blogger, i must bite the bullet). i woke up this morning and my timeline was full of comments castigating the bloody waste of time and tax payers money that is the the new anti-same sex marriage law. the nigerian senate passed it into law a few days ago (14 years imprisonment etc). the honest truth is that everyone is cautious about this topic because it is like holding palm oil while wearing white. no matter what side of the fence you're on in terms of your sexual preference, you are bound to get stained if you as much as say the wrong thing on the matter - and anything you say can and will be wrong. if you disagree with the new law, you're clearly an undercover gay person and if you agree with the new law openly, you're a shameless homophobe. i guess this explains why interestingly, all of the people i know who are vocal against the new law - o...

awards my big black...er...foot!

i'm hard pressed not to write about the nigerin blog awards but (i) it wont be fair to all my readers and people who took the time to vote for this blog (ii) i still don't understand my mental state when i decided to participate in it and (iii) i'm as bitter as a older wives meeting a new wife for the first time. to cut a morbid story short: i did not win a damn acknowledgement (much less an award). after all my toiling, having to degrade myself to the point of begging for votes from people who i really never wanted to know about my blog or read the contents thereof, after making people i hold in extreme high regard leave their daily activities and set out to vote for something so trivial, and aafter i waited ages for the darn result to be announced, i still didn't win a matchstick. i know there is something called graciously accepting the results of a competition when it doesn't go your way, but please. i'll probably never have a reason to spew out the diat...

a thousand words...

...this is Lagos Nigeria, in 2010 with the tons of LASTMA traffic officers who jump into the cars of law abiding citizens as soon as they inadvertently miss a turning. We went over the entire stretch of 3rd mainland bridge this morning driving behind this 12th wonder of the world. thank God for Blackberry, otherwise i don't know how i could have described this to y'all...or if anyone would have believed me. i guess they are right when they say that a picture does indeed say a thousand words. see y'all peeps!
