Just Vexing...!

I started putting up notes as an avenue to vent and dammit, that’s what I’m gonna do [doctor’s orders].

I am so sick of seeing thuggy, clueless kids at the Ceddi plaza or the Galleria walking around with Scarface, Don Corleone or Che Guevara on their T-Shirts. I hate to break it to you, but wearing all this does nut make you tough. A rebel or pass a message for a cause. The most irksome is seeing Che Guevara, Ken Saro –Wiwa etc, on a fucking T-shirt worn by people who have no idea who he is.

What's worse, I am so goddamn fucking sick of hearing the phrase "say hello to my little friend" in movies. SAYING THIS PHRASE IS NOT FUCKING FUNNY AND IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU LOOK TOUGH! IT WASN'T FUNNY THE FIRST ONE HUNDRED TIMES, YOU WON'T BE TOUGH THE NEXT ONE HUNDRED TIMES! It's become the most retarded cliché of badly written movies! I'm just sick of it. I don't understand it. I want it to end. It's not cool, it's not a statement, it's just more idiots buying into corporate America's horseshit factory of manufactured icons. By the way, did any of you see actually see the original Scarface movie?

If you write down the word "cool" as "kewl"…die! I mean, you are going out of your way to misspell a word. You're not even shortcutting out of some misguided sense of saving time. I don't understand it. "kewl," when spoken phonetically, doesn't even sound like "cool!" It sounds like "key-yule" and, if that's your intention, it's retarded! I want to rip your tongue out of your mouth for buttfucking the English language with it and for assaulting my eyes every time I see this stupid word scrawled out in print.

We are shunning intelligence in today's society and that's just fucking stupid. :-)

As a teacher’s son, I see this all the time. In today's society, we see intelligence as an undesirable trait. Kids no longer want to be seen as smart because, for some reason, that's something to be ashamed of. In a society that worships the likes of Paris Hilton, Nollywood, Timaya and the Twilight series, I feel very certain that unless this trend is reversed, we will see the end very soon.

What makes me angry is that, while I am no tremendous intellect, I like to think that I'm a smart person and, when I make an observation or deliver a piece of information that people don't know, I receive looks and stares like I'm the idiot for knowing something that the general public does not. Why am I the stupid one for knowing something you don't?

Ladies in particular, really... the stupid act doesn't work. All it makes guys think is, I can totally fuck this bimbo and then dump her. It's not cute, it's goddamn annoying and you can burst into flames when you do it for all I care.

Dudes, keeping it real does not mean keeping it stupid! Read, my brothers, read. And if you won’t, do not act like I should be sorry and ashamed that I’ve applied some effort to enriching my mind. It will not work! I will not dumb it down.

Pidgin English is fine and all, but it is not a suitable permanent replacement for English. If for no other reason, endavour to speak regular English as justification of the money spent on your school fees.
We need to value intelligence again. We need to stop shoving millions of naira into abysmal soccer programs and buy enough goddamn textbooks to go around. We need to stop idolizing morons who get arrested for stealing taxpayer’s money only to be released with an apology or one who doesn't know the difference between FEC and EC of Nigeria.

... Now where the fuck is my chocolate?
