Planking a la Carte!

Image
 My  First Planking  Experience I was first told about PLANKING by an acquaintance of mine. I thought it was rather fascinating as my curiousity was peaked, he then told me to google it. Which I did, and since then I haven't found peace.  The thought of Planking burned a hole in my chest, every-where I looked seemed like a potential plank site. I thought of Planking on my man's gargantuan SUV(don't know why men drive such "tanks", are they going up a mountain inn it? Any-way, talk for another day...), he'll take the picture.. He's used to me and my shenanigans, and basically supports and accepts me just as I am(bless his dear heart).  SO, every-day, the thought grew, till finally, I told him "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" I have to get this out of my system! Grrrr. So I dragged him down the stairs of his home, positioned my-self and he took all the shots even encouraging me to hold positions while he took several more shots using his

ODE TO OMO

This was written for me by Adonis from a previous reality of mine..... Ode to Aiferhaomo With a pair of damaged knees A bleeding heart And a stony stare She came to the World Thirsty for love; afraid of love Barefooted she's been roving the plains of the Great Dessert Since the beginning of time Looking for her own Ithaca Drained from the ages All those hopeless battles she fought Her body scarred from that endless rebellion Against herself And the soulless crowds Eloquent in her silence Compassionate in her cruelty Tender in her roughness Fragile in her rigidity Submissive in her dominance Dominant in her submissiveness Playful in her loftiness Cheerful in her sorrow Sane in her lunacy Ingenious in her triviality Always balancing at the edge of the blade A scared little child with the looks of a hardened warrior Perfect in her immeasurable imperfections A distant apparition of the Afric

Writings in the Sands of Time...

This happened to me some-time in the middle of February, 2011 A guide took me to a very deserted beach with-in the Lekki axis in Lagos State, Nigeria called the Ilasan beach.  It was very quiet, no sound save for the waves beating against the shore-line trying to over-power it with-out success. My guide promptly retreated out of sight as he sensed I did not need his guidance here. Smart fellow. I looked around me and had the feeling that I was the only human standing in the New World waiting to welcome the cross-overs from the Old World. I felt I was the inhabitant of another planet as there was not an iota of civilisation in sight with the exception of a once proud ship whose progress had been abruptly stopped by the First (1st) Battalion of Sand guarding the shore-line. It had been slapped in the face several ways by Mother Nature for daring to enter her territory.  A sorry sight to be-hold, in-deed it was. I looked at the ship and I wondered if it had contained membe

What "image " is GOD..?

The Bible, (according to the book of Genesis) says that God made us in his own image. Ok, fair enough..... But, what "image" is this exactly? Is it the Homo Sapiens? But..... the Homo Sapiens has been in existence for approximately five hundred thousand (500, 000) years. Mean-while, the Earth has been in existence for a little over four and a half (4.55) BILLION years (give or take 1%...). And the Human Race has no known affiliated residence of abode be-sides Earth. So, what image was this "man" that GOD created billions of years ago and what  "image" is GOD then if Humans are fashioned after him be-fore they (humans) came in-to existence? Ok, let us give room for skepticism and presume man did not originate from a single organism.... Good? Ok. Some automatons will say that is not a physical image, but a SPIRITUAL one. Ok. Let us look at this closely.... Let us start from the the Hominoidae; also known as the Grea
