Yo peeps! So.... I'm not a prodigal son but it's been ten years already and I'm not one to dwell on the past especially regarding the death of a loved one hence I simply choose to let it slide like it's nothing because in the real sense it's actually nothing considering the time interval between then and now.
What exactly am I talking about? It's quite simple; today is the 10th of December- coincidentally today makes it ten years since my Dad got kaboomed from this plane of existence, ten years ago- the 10th of December in the year 2011.
I remember how quickly it happened, it was like "an action movie where the main character was killed off; viewers got displeased and hated the director forever for not letting things go in the direction they wanted". One moment he was with us and the next he was no more; we were all anticipating Christmas in a big way, it was meant to be the best christmas ever the following Christmas (es) was meant to be even better considering our financial status- I mean we didn't have everything like people thought but we had enough and sometimes more than enough that we were envied here and there and so many wanted to be like us.... we were the perfect family
Oh...those good old days passed by so fast, now it's all memories and nothing more.
I still remember my Dad's face but barely considering it's a face I haven't seen in ten years, I do not intend to remind myself by stating at his picture because it's basically pointless. In fact I do not think we have any of his pictures anymore for complicated reasons which I do not intend to explain.
"Death is reflective of the fact that life itself is pointless and we'd never catch the wind no matter how hard we try".
How quickly time flies; the dead is forgotten much faster than expected, he died, promises were made by his Brothers- "do not worry we're gonna stand by you and bla bla" all lies spoken from the tip of their tongue just to make themselves look special and big. Time showed us how filthy and pathetic they were; story for another day.
Filthy coincidence
It's 10 years today since Dad left coincidentally today is also the convocation ceremony of my university- my convocation; I'm officially a graduate from the department of Physics and Electronics. Weird sh*t is my school is located at Ondo state but I'm currently in lagos (Lagos sweet home) as I do not intend to attend. No amount of force in the universe can force me into attending this weird ceremony because I consider it pointless and an absolute waste of time for me. I already told my colleague @Success.1 I wouldn't be attending, he should go take some pictures and have some fun, meet a hookup babe and make out maybe....
"It's my convocation today but will not attend, it's just a one day thing and doesn't matter"..
I only intend to point out the filthy coincidence of my convocation with the ten years yada yada of my Dad. His wife (my mom) also passed away six years after- the 17th of December 2017 hence it would be four Years since her passing in seven days time. What a sad world of filthy coincidence... one moment you're happy and the next you're trying to relax then you simply get caught in a war, an unending war of nothingness.
Rest in peace Mom and Dad; I want to forget your face, I want to forget you existed, I'm tired of seeing them in my dreams- I want to forget you ever existed because it's pointless remembering as we're never going to meet again.
Life in the end is nothing but fleeting, transient and an infinite amount of events leading to nothingness.
If @Lucifer01 was here we'd do play the PC version of cricket since he mentioned it in his article yesterday, while I'd show @Olasquare who's boss by circling the finish line twice before he even gets a chance to begin (Need for speed).
I wanna take @bmjc98 to the beach for celebration and as a special form of thank you to her (just me and you)- I hope her boyfriend wouldnt get jealous; don't worry I'm a gentle man.
Toddles!
