Do you ever feel like your dreams are merely a continuation of your ‘real’ life? Like you wake up from sleep in your dream only to realize that you are also awake in reality. No? Well sometimes I do, happens mostly when I’m dead tired. This morning was one of those mornings, traffic in the whole of Lagos last night was horrendous, got in at half 11 and went straight to bed.
Luckily this morning is a public holiday, it’s the day the super-hero of the Christian religion was killed (or choose to die) ’cause his Dad asked him to in order to save humanity or what not.
*eyes open* *reaches for phone like every normal adult in this generation* Morning ritual usually consists of saying good morning to my significant other, this time she had woken up before me so it was more of a response. Thoughts about what the day is going to look like flood my head. Get up, arrange dirty clothes, pack ’em. Grab laptop, head out and off visit the parental unit.
There’s a parade on the way, looks like a church is out portraying the final moments of Jesus’ life. I like it, they put some sort of ‘African’ twist to it, no Roman soldiers, instead a couple of mean looking African warrior look-a-likes with shields made from the baskets and make-shift spears.
Home.
Mother is always excited to see her baby, food is already made. *hugs momma* *heads straight to the kitchen.*
Ah! Nothing like a home cooked meal. I’m too full to move but all that laundry is staring at me, so I get to it. By the time I’m done, I promise I’m never wearing clothes again. If society cannot stand me in the buff then so be it.
The sun has gone down, thankful for that. Weather has been all over the place (Global warming isn’t a myth). All this rest is necessary, the weekend is packed with alcohol and friends and HER and some more alcohol.
If this piece feels disjointed, don’t fret, that exactly how it always is in my head.

About @Yilz: Still in the process of creating myself, unfortunately that takes a whole lifetime so you’ll have to wait. I’d like to think I’m a simple guy, I value love, family and friendship. I think music and the arts are our greatest achievements but I also have a soft spot for Science and Technology. These days, talks of an afterlife and eternity no longer scare me or give me any sort of hope. I believe in living this one life the best way I can and not waste any moment on such frivolities.
