Just another rant like post...By Mutabaruka aka Other Me

I search for Nirvana…


I thirst for freedom...

I long for the truth…

I pray for peace...

I live for happyness...
I believe in Kismet…

I won't grant her full control however...




I strive for 'perfecto'.

I know there'll be blocks...

I aim to climb them.

I shall woo serenity until she's mine.

I shall not wrestle insanity…

I pick my battles carefully and wisely.

I shall stalk Nirvana still...



I will assist in anchoring mediocrity at the bottom of the sea...

I shall ignore eccentricity, afterall, she and I are one.

I shall take joy...She is my betrothed.

I shall embrace knowledge.

I shall embrace knowledge in its entirety.

I shall wrestle with love, knock it down and make it my slave for evermore.

I shall want Nirvana still…





I shall live for Happiness

I shall live for the moment.

I shall stare fear down till it cowers and runs.

I shall try not to give in to pride...

I shall not be enslaved by Ire...or avarice…

As for Nirvana...I still yearn for her...

Even though I know she'll be elusive...forevermore…

Me: Really? Who’s she?

He:  “Oh! Some downright cute chick I met yesterday at the Matriculation Ceremony…”

….who’s smitten…Not by you…

 He: “I know what you’re thinking…October Rush, eh? Trust me. It’s nothing like that…”

…and the Son Of a Bitch is gonna give you a blow by blow account of it…

He: "…I mean…She’s something that girl…"

Tuesday afternoon tea gone sour…

He: “Wow wow! Don’t give me the look, please…I’m not breaking up with Abi because of this girl…Our 
break-up was gonna happen anyway…I just put a date to it is all…”

Son of a…!

Me: “Interesting…”

He: “Yeah! It’s not like we have a “great” relationship here…it’s just sex…”

TMI. TMI.

Me: “Err…Why are you telling me….these things?

He: “Because I find talking to you sooooo easy …”

EUREKA!! He found someone to talk to…FUCK YOU, Strawberry Lips!

“…and I like you…a lot...”

Huh?

He: “..And your eyes…I can’t stop thinking about them…”
Me: “Err…wait… weren’t we were talking  about your soon to be girlfriend…and your soon to be ex??”

"...Feather light…The kiss i'd fantasized and  dreamt about, FINALLY happens…No prior info…No major eye contact like in the Daggam movies and Novels i'd so depended on to school you on these matters…Nothing! Goshies!!! Mesmer has nothing on this feeling,…Melting bones… Lips locked…Toes curling…Then common sense comes up for air…

“What…What…You…Ehrm…”

“I kissed you…and I’d gladly go again….This is officially our first kiss (Insert Light chuckle) Over tea…In my parents’ house…(Insert Big grin)

 “The violent taketh by force…”

Gosshh...You’re retarded, Virgo...
 “What did you say…?“

Me: “What are you laughing at..?
