I GOT THE MIDAS TOUCH!


I like my old school music just as much as I like the new,but there’s something special about the type of music that is decades older than my age!This weekend i cranked the volume up to this song "I GOT THE MIDAS TOUCH"(by  midnight star) the  minute I heard it. And since I like to be sincere, back when I was too young to even put the lyrics of a  song together in order to come up with meaning, I used to hear 
“I got the minus touch” instead of “I got the midas touch” (the beauty of being young n stupid hehe..)I didn’t even bother to know if what I heard made sense or not,but I liked the beat!!I still do!

But since every song always comes with a thought or two from my brain, this one got me thinking about a movie about King Midas and his golden touch.It was this movie that finally cleared up the “minus “ from the “midas” and 9 years later it got me thinking about life in general.Midas  was  mad about his gold, and the more he got it,the more he wanted it.Then one magical day his wish came true but in the end came back to bite him!He ended up with a golden stature in place of his precious  daughter, and  a hungry tummy cause of all the gold-coated food he couldn’t eat!
Sometimes,in life I feel like Midas,we all end up like Midas in some ways.We want things that later on turn into useless gold,and end up wishing we hadn’t wanted them. At first their appeal is irresistible,then soon enough they just become another artifact in our closet of life. But,it should not always be like that,and because I like my stories to end happily ever after, I have learnt that it takes true courage and wisdom to always get what we want,because most times what  we want is not  always what we need.To know the worth and value of what we want is by far the greatest and most powerful way to never get caught up in the regrets of having what we wanted!That’s the only way to uncast the spell of the Midas touch in our own lives!Put a pricetag to what you want,and see whether it’s worth it or not.

The good,the bad the ugly…the beautiful years of my life!

Happy new year!!!Two weeks down the line, and I still can’t predict how my 2013 will go down. I bet that’s the exciting part about new years( except from the annoying fact that I still   keep writing down the dates as 2012). Took me a while to write my first 2013 post,mostly cause I   had a cliché   idea of writing something about fresh starts,but I won’t take that turn.New year means a lot of things not just new beginnings, it’s also about rolling with the days as they come even when everything seems to stay the same, year in year out. Above all I can’t deny the fact that am alive, who knows what could have happened and nothing makes my heart more grateful   to my God for that blessing. So my first post this year is a lyrical piece written and   dedicated to my 2012 memories and 2013 ‘s unpredictable events. Two decades,that’s how long    I waited for you… If I could wait this long,then what could   possibly go wrong? I knew so...

The Man That Made Me Believe In Impossibilities

How do I write about a man whose loud presence can’t be ignored? How do I begin to describe a man whose life should be written down in volumes of books, a man whose battles and achievements could literally make you wonder why you have never tried out that daredevil in you? A man whose blind faith and roaring spirit will leave you believing that anything is possible, as long as you just do it! I have never written down anything much about my father, mostly because words won’t do him justice and because you need to experience him to actually know who he is. He is tough, he is loud, he is sharp and witty, he never gives up and he is simply my papa. I know I will never get it right when it comes to the adjectives that could describe papa, mostly because he is more than words. He’s the man who’s taught me to live in the moment, because we can’t really trust the future. A man who’s taught me to be witty, because sometimes you have to outdo the book smarts to survive. A man who’s ta...

Don't break my heart...

From the moment i loved you, I was afraid to say these words, But deep down i could feel it,and i knew it... Don't break my heart.. Don't tear me apart... With you am happy, That's how i know am lucky.. Without you,i am without me Don't break my heart... Don't tear me apart... Even though i know you will... This is no love poem,or else i'd have poured my whole heart out in my longest post ever!!!But i know how it looks and sounds,it's simply my love poem to this beauty called life...I heard a song this morning by Gym Class Heroes "Get Your A** Back Home" not the best title to a song(i know) but this line kept haunting me all morning "this type of life didn't come with instructions" By now if you reading this and thinking ,"like duh!!who din't know that??" hold onto that thought for just a bit. This is one of the most obvious facts:The  things that life can throws at us,sometimes can...
