Head over heels...

Date: 14th June, 2010
Time: 11.47pm
Location: Joseph Hall, Covenant University
#nowplaying- R&B songs...

Have you ever scoped someone for so long...lets say 3 years?
How do you feel, especially when you know that you can only scope but you cannot actually have the person.
It is now VERY difficult to get the person out of your mind. It is like the person is stuck in your mind and you cannot get the person out of your mind...
Do old people have crushes? Do they fall head over heels in LIKE with somebody? If they don't I really want to get old... Maybe as you grow older priorities change? Maybe you learn how to get over crushes and puppy love...
Hmmmn
I really can't wait to stop crushing on people... especially the ones that NEVER notice you... I need a girlfriend so bad right now...
Relationships. Like. Love. Crush. Puppy love.
Get a grip, Harry. All things work together... please... shorty is too fine and just passed...
God help me

This is just me pouring out my thoughts... sorry they are disorganized...

Random Discussions: Is the Oil Boom of 1970 the cause of Nigeria's problems?

Hey y'all...

How are you guys doing? I am OK..doing great... My project is almost done... Hallelujah!!! You don't know how happy I am....

Anyways, the above question came up in class today and I agree that it is the cause of our problems but this chic said that it is not the cause and that without oil, our nation will be messed up like some other nations... so I have come here to ask for your opinion. I am just a young guy and what do I know? Will appreciate it deeply if you comment...

Please when you are done can you check Anani Speaks... I got something that YOU need to read there... it is a personal testimony...

Trotcha!

Lesson learnt...

HOLA!!!

How are y’all doing this beautiful Monday? It is so good to be back as it has been a very long weekend…  So much work had to be done and I just thank God for his grace that was so sufficient…
I don’t have much to say today but I want to share what God revealed to me during the weekend. After the whole Jaiye incident and many more relationship stories, I have learnt one thing… no one can love you like God does. It might sound cliché but it is the truth. I mean, we search and search and search and in the end, we get disappointed. It makes me wonder if the search is worth it. The second thing I learnt is that do not enter a relationship without dealing with your insecurity issues. Know your worth in God's eyes, know how He sees you and understand that it is only in God you are complete.

There is a poem on Anani Speaks that clearly talks about this. Also, there is a word from Max Lucado at The Eden Project and there is an important information that YOU need to see at the Kiss and Tell blog. Special thanks to Good Naija Girl for. shouting me out on her blog. I consider it a rare privilege Also, to everyone who commented on the last post, thank you and God bless you load...

Have an amazing week...

Trotcha
