Valentine's Hangover

I am probably the unluckiest man on the planet, not extremely but yoh, people are very unlucky out there. They say, it's a jungle out there!
I'm unlucky ONLY in this doro Valentine's sh*. Other aspects of life I'm quite lucky. Like lucky being single and all. I hear that while I was busy watching that old Percy Jackson movie, on my phone, my supposedly crush and future Valentine's date was busy posting photos on Instagram with her significant other.

I don't know what you think about that but I'm quite sure, that St. Valentine did not die for these kind of scenes. I understand the fact that 14th Feb was not meant for romantic kind of love only, even brotherly, family and societal. Bromance can also be celebrated on this lovely day. No?

I tried to figure out the main reasons why I was watching Percy Jackson, alone. Well at least why I was not getting some on Saturday
First, I think Percy, (not Percy Jackson)you seriously cast a spell on me or something. Imagine from that time, I have not been able to create any creative pick up line. I have just been traumatized, seriously I don't even know. I can't even think straight when I think about your name. When I think about you, I have to listen to dorobucci to bring me back to life, back to my senses. I just have one thing to say to you, rather a song to " say" to you, Adelle's Rolling in the deep. 

Speaking of pick up lines, I was walking in town the other day after school. Then I walked past this click of friends who were probably KEMU students, because they seemed really comfortable around that area code of KEMU towers. I really was not eavesdropping but I just got to hear this talk, " Imagine I just had to stop her and tell her I know her from IG." The pals were like "for real?" , "yeah man, I just had to" he answered enthusiastically.
There are so many things wrong with this dude, I won't even say what Njoki Chege said about Kenyan men on Instagram. But that's none of my business. My issue with all this, is that if these are the pick up lines of today, I do not belong to this world anymore. I lived ages ago. So what happens to those beautiful girls who are not on Instagram? And that also means we men who are not in IG do not have pick up lines. Sad story.

Ladies, you know we love you, sorry I have to say this. When I say I like you I mean it, when I don't say, it does not mean I don't, so no need to push it because there is a probability I do not. (I have a feeling I should shut up) But one more thing, I enjoy beautiful company and good music. In beautiful there is blonde, they can go together, and they can also go individually.
Work hard for beautiful to have prominence. If I start a conversation with you, I do not want to hear your lame boyfriend stories, I just want a mature conversation, get rid of the blonde. A world can't just revolve around one person can it? We would have one two many worlds then. 

Why I was alone on Saturday.

As I write this, I'm still trying to get over the many movies I've watched this weekend, Monday here we come!

Grow Yourself

A guy walks in to a lingerie store to buy his wife some. He feels so embarrassed in the store. He is so uneasy. The harsh white florescent bulbs that give him that judging glare. And do the sales people make it easier for him? So Roy Raymond goes home thinking; Can men buy their partners lingerie without being embarrassed?
He realized there was this gap or opportunity and went ahead to create Victoria Secret. A departmental store where men could buy their wives lingerie comfortably without feeling weird or embarrassed. Roy just began with $80000, and the company is currently worth $5 billion. And which lady doesn't love Victoria Secret products?

And it's not just him who created a giant company just by seeing opportunities, there is this guy Ferruccio Lamborghini. This guy' s story is interesting and PR people should be keen on this one.

Ferruccio Lamborghini is a guy who liked cars, loved cars . Fast cars, he owned Fiats, and Mercedes... the fast cars of that time. He loved maserati but he did not like the way it was heavy and was not very fast.

His favourite car however was the Ferrari. "Lamborghini thought Ferrari's cars were good, but too noisy and rough to be proper road cars, categorizing them as repurposed track cars with poorly built interiors."
He also found the clutches to be inferior and required frequent trips to the garage, where the Ferrari technicians would take the car and rebuild it in secrecy, to the annoyance of Lamborghini.

Lamborghini raised these concerns to the aftersales service; he even went ahead and brought this up with Enzo Ferrari( founder of Ferrari) but was dismissed by the pride filled businessman.
Lamborghini went ahead to modify one of his own Ferrari which even out did the ones in stock in terms of performance.

It is after this that Lamborghini got the urge to build an automobile that could meet his needs. That ladies and gentlemen; is why we have Lamborghini hybrid cars.

These two men made me realize that life is not just about whining and complaints, it is all about seeing a gap and filling it. Seeing an opportunity and juicing it all its worth.
Use every opportunity to grow yourself to the next level.
Next time you complain about dial a delivery delaying the pizza, just think about a quicker delivery service you could create.

It's all in the mind, how you view it; a half filled bottle, is it half empty or half full. But think of it, a half full bottle is more desirable to fill to the brim, but a half empty bottle is much easier to be emptied.
