Blast from the past


When you chose your friends,
Don't be short -changed by choosing personality over character.
W. Somerset Maydham 1874 -1965


This weekend three things happened, I met Zora, I met Angela & Brian, I met Brian & Tall Frank.

Zora: Not the best looking girl I have ever laid my eyes on, but her confidence did work for her all the way – though the arrogance and rudeness did not work well in her favour. After a few moments of our meeting I was appointed the task to set her up with my ‘white friend’ – DH as for this she informed us how she was going to lose weight so that she would get him to love her and yes she was very serious. Will I do it – hell NO.

Angela & Brian: I looked across the room and there is this dude staring at me like he knew me. Out of courtesy I extend my hand to exchange pleasantries and this dude give me my life history for way before this world took away my innocence. We talked for a while; he tells me Tall Frank is in town. I ask him how he and Angel know each other as the chic was giving me evils and I didn’t want to be trading on dangerous grounds. He explains that his ex boyfriend to her sister. I am uncomfortable, he asks for my number, I give it to him and sketch my others.

Brian and Tall Frank: I get a call Sunday morning, I agree to a meeting. We try to catch up. They are talking about getting laid, being laid, when the best time is to be laid , which man would be impossible for a Ugandan girl to lay (all this while i am thinking this is the kind of conversation I listened to three years ago- I mentally cross them out of my co – circular activates)

I will borrow leaf from Autorose and evaluate my choices(not my friends) and not to being a miss goody two shoes bitch I believe I should take hind of W. Somersetr Maughem’s words don’t you.?

Have a great week people.

Choosing friends should be a careful exercise. I do ocassional evaluation of my so-called friends and I'm able to know who's true and who's a pretense...

Seriously...what were the guys talking about getting laid hoping to achieve?
