THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY...WEEE...

The following are signs that you are suffering from a severe case of withdrawal symptoms because you mightta missed out on possible 'love' but it sadly was not meant to be..Caution this piece may be very sad bordering pathetic if you wana be harsh.

1. Listening to his or her favorite music
2.Online stalking
3.Accidentally bumping into him or her
4.Eliminating any percieved competition...actual or imagined

Let us go through them systematically..
Listening to a track he or she  likes...You know you got it bad..really bad.There are moments when all you wanna do is put on your headphones,close your eyes and picture them in your mind..It is a severe case of withdrawal when you suddenly change your taste in music just coz...sad but not too sad,if this symptom stays in the confines of your i pod,go ahead.If this is all you do to have a sense of brief sanity and connection to him or her,its ayt,sad but ayt.This may last a few weeks and bound to fizzle out and may be eliminated with a few minutes of a song you know you like.
Tech has made us all stalkers and snoopers.From facebook to chat rooms to VOIP.You know you got symptom number two when everysingle time out of the 1000 times you log in,you check out their profile,pics,updates,conversations. Double Sad how you keep holding yourself back from retweeting or commenting...harder when you send a relatively long message about how its been a minute only to get a reply days later saying "how are you?sorry for the late reply?"
I think I'll just throw a disclaimer at this point,,you're probably thinking Im coming from an experience point of view,,,well,im not admitting to this but these things happen.
Swiftly moving on,third symptom.The calculated locomotion.You are a strong,enduring and resillient researcher.Sadly,you are suffering a severe case of misguided focus.You put your time and energy into finding out his or her schedule just to bump into them 'accidentally'.You can pull this off a couple of times,making sure you look your best with every encounter.Pointers that you've lost him or her,you get a hi or a hello and his/shez gone,a brief conversation about how he/she didn't see you in class today(don't forget you make a point of selecting the same classes),how work sucks and he doesn't get how you do it (there's so much more you'd do if he/she let you),,Oh well,since you're slowly going down the road of denial,replaying all these encounters and convincing yourself there's something,...the only remedy...quarantine..keep a safe distance and avoid further contamination,be it their killer smile,contagious laughter..(notice how this is bad for you)..
Lastly,the one symptom that shows you are at the final stages of withdrawal from 'love'..The green eyed monster.The manifestations of this symptom are gradual.It starts with simple statements on a possible competitor..(remember,this may be actual or imagined).This is followed by psychological stress,thoughts of possibly never being with him or her weigh on you,happiness evades you, anger takes its place...enter the rebound cycle just to numb it all.Notice how this only hurts you,'your love interest' now looks like the source of your pain.This can only be alleviated and eventually cured if one realizes that being a vile pathetic hater is only gonna make you less attractive and miss out on the 'one'.....Like a friend of mine once updated..heheheeee..Im not looking for the perfect one just the right one..
ok...so you're gonna pull through,pull the covers of sanity over yourself,check your temperature with a  mental thermometer of poise and most of all carry around the true word of acceptance,..chew the bitter herbs,swallow the bitter pill,bite the bullet....
READ RAPIDLY:Insomnia,Fever and Nausea may be experienced.

  1. ...don't be sad,it's no that they "got away"-maybe it's just that they are very shy;and maybe they're just trying to find the right words to suit that one moment when they confess their LOVE to you...

Random thoughts about time

I have a timetable at school that I follow strictly, an organizer with short quotes at the bottom of every page just to have that daily dose of intellectual stimulation, sticky notes on my laptop,wall and course texts...the to do list that never seems to end...O.k so what if I'm a type A.These are the type of people who are overtly active, aggressive,outgoing and most likely to get managerial posts since they make good leaders.On the flip side they are most likely to suffer from stress related illnesses and research shows that most strokes occur among type A personalities.......So yea,i suffer from mild insomnia when I undertake a project whether at school or home and the loss of appetite after a long day and damn those stupid pimples that attack the gap between my brows.Talk about a headlight.In this case it would be glowing red... (I digress ) Even with such great disadvantages of being active every minute of every day,the joy of getting anything done on time or earlier to som...

THIS IS THE TRICKY PART....

 This is a post for the fresh graduate soon to be intern.... I recently sat down with a friend over a bucket of wings.The festive season demanded so. We went on and on about how good it felt to complete school.We rumbled on in between chews,bites and hard swallows on how bad the system was to us. . * and my mind wondered off . *. ..from the teachers that seemed to be mental cases from Mathare with their diabolical and sadistic punishments.The fatal beatings we got to the rare moments we enjoyed outside the really high school gates....(it was always high like we were in prison,though we did refer to it as so). What about the random assessments,weekly revisions,Multiple choice questions?Yuck!!I hated my life..My only solace was the drama club,I would have joined other clubs but I wasn't cool enough.Drama club was a hiding place where my imagination could run wild and the one place I could meet someone beyond the gate,,this being my drama coach...For others it was sports an...

New Year, New Things....Kid yourself all you want

Another year, take a deep breath and tell yourself that you have a new slate. You can right all the wrongs you made and be the best that you can be.Now, please throw away that Self-Help Book, 'How to be a Happier You' and kindly pinch yourself back to reality. You know you surprise me at times, you actually think that a new year is like a rebirth(a new you my toe!). You send motivational messages, sweet and kind words of how lucky you are to be friends. The endless calls and the midnight call you make to that special someone, hugs and kisses..blah blah blah. Huurrrrlll!!! Spare me. Lets face it you have another 12 months to do what you do best...and that is make mistakes, end relationships and friendships, make a poor business decision and be stuck in the same dead end job. Aaawww, I'm giving it to you easy, believe me. You have twelve months to look back at your life and say, damn it! I should have, I would have...well coulda woulda shoulda.... You know its no wonder...
