THE BLINDEST BLIND DATE.

Two nights ago,i was sleeping and possibly snoring because i was very tired,and i still must be at work that morning, only to be awoken by my cousin's (whom i share the room with) late night call at around 4:00am.
The problem was not even the call he was making and all the funny absurd things he was saying over the phone,but the person on the other end of the line. He was talking to this girl he never met before, they actually met virtually on this mobile chat called 2go.Funny enough i know the girl ,i have seen her before and  i cant just talk my cous out of the chick.

Now  blind dates are lovely if you never get to see your date,but believe me, majority of the blind dating people have seen or heard about stopped the very day they meet.All of us like the excitment of blind dating it is like openning a christmas present, waiting to be surprised,but unlike a chrismas present ,we most times get shocked.

Mine was a disaster,i met this girl through her sister a couple of years back,her sister was my friend in Abuja and she is pretty,she was into me,but i really was not in moods for flings, so i kept a low profile with her. Then something led to another and i got talking to her sister,and then asked my friend  how her sister looks,she told me she was prettier. So i  shifted attention to the sister,we talked on the phone like mad, then i had to go to Abuja for one reason. This chick kept on calling me from the Airport before i departed and her call was the first i recieved when the plane grounded.

In short we met....................and we never spoke again.I know i was dissapointed,but was she? i will never find out cos i did not want to.
I figured out that day: we all want what is out of our reach,i mean there are zillions of girls and guys we see everyday but most of us prefer to fall in love with those we dont see, we like surprises,we like suspense we like to wonder in exictment what the future holds, yet we want to peep a little into the future to ensure all is well.

All this flashed back into my head in the middle of the night ,while my cous was laughing his heart out on the phone,well his might be one of the exceptions,but to me i think it is a disaster waiting to happen.

Not all blind dates end in a misery anyway,but it is a mystery how much poeple love blind dates,check facebook and all social webs,people just want to hang out with people  they dont have a single clue about,leaving the very good friends behind.

Now my cous will see the girl in about a forth night,i will give you guys the disaster report. Really hope it has a happy ending!

THE ZOO

Our life is so much in order.
Hiding feelings from one another.
Too careful of each other.
our world is like a Zoo.

We have lost our basic instinct.
Taking our existence into extinct.
And we think that makes us distinct.
Our world is like a Zoo.

I want to return to the wild.
Where i wont take life mild.
Into the free air i would glide.
Am getting out of the Zoo.

I dont want to remain the same.
I dont want to be tame.
I will burn my shackles in flames.
Am getting out of the Zoo.
