what's hap!

This is not the life you wished for or hoped to live, but hey, this is the real world. This one goes into the life of a typical young man and how he grapples with his newly assumed responsilbility; being a man! You know the drill, kindly leave your comments below. ******************************************************************************** I'm not the kid I used to be. I'm a grown man with beards now, the stakes are higher. As I aim for the highbrow I keep getting stuck in the mire, and reality is threatening to drown me. They give me so much nightmares that every night feels like halloween; mama says she's tired of working, papa says he needs to retire and my younger ones keep looking up to me like I'm the Eiffel Tower. All eyes are on me and me alone! I pick up the reins of my life and try to ride as fast as I can, to my destiny in far away la-la land. I strive so hard but they say it's not good enough. Even my girlfriend that is supposed to be understanding...

Not everyone is disciplined enough to say their morning prayer and I am not excluded. Some of us check twitter first thing in the morning, some reach for the refridgerator to grab a bite and some call their heart throbs.

I'd like to know the number one thig on your morning routine so kindly leave them in the comment box after enjoying this short piece. ******************************************************************************** I woke up on my bed, perspiring like I had been walking on a thread, with memories of the previous day constituting the nightmares that kept flashing through my memory like lightning; grumbling and rumbling from my deep subconscious like thunder. It had not all gone as I quite expeceted after all I had invested. The smile I woke up with didn't waste much time in contorting into a frown as I thought about what the day might be like. Quick...

From my faint knowledge of business studies, i remember something called shorthand. It is a form of writing that has some special notations and signs that makes writing so short once properly mastered. I guess it was invented for stenographers that have to scribble three thousand words in three minutes! Jeez, that was a little exaggerated, but it was a make-shift writing style that is to be converted later to conventional longhand. It is very formal and recognised. There is however another form of shorthand that has gained so much ground in a very short while. It has got appeal, very stylish, witty and can be found in the informal setting of young people around the world. It's got so much acclaim that even the older ones donot want to be left behind. I might have to switch to it once in a while during the course of this write up. I suspect my hands  might get weary from typing long words. I stand to be corrected, but i think i started with the advent of internet and...
