Voice for Rent - My crazy moments

Once a guy who was interested in me told me i had a nice voice and i should try singing. I dont need to tell you that i rushed off to do some serious practicing using my phone to record the 'beginnings/makings of a nigerian beyonce'. The song? Dido's 'life for rent'. I must say after i heard myself, i never spoke to the guy again.

Another time, i was adviced by my classmates to run for the office of vice-president of the department, and then i saw my self as the Rice of Nigeria. i was supposed to give a speech in front of the whole class. The morning i was supposed to give a speech, i woke up feeling sick, my friends tried to convince me that i would do well and i'm a 'natural'.... I actually prayed to have a fatal accident on my way to school, when that didnt work, i prayed that war would break out in the country. Needless to say, none of my evil prayers were answered and i found my self in front of the whole class and something happened, i literaly watched my voice run (on two legs) out the door. That was the end of my political career.

And YET another time, my friend and i convinced ourselves, after listening to a number of motivational tapes and reading a couple of books, that we could 'be whatever we wanted to be if only we made the move'. We decided to pool our resources together, and invest in barfs (clothing), we became sales girls. Each time i wanted to sleep or just have some play time, she'd scream 'eat that frog'. The frog being procrastination. Poor frog, or maybe poor procrastination. Imagine being a frog. 4 weeks and a lot of digested frogs later, we were very broke and in serious debt. Dont ask what we did to the motivational tapes and books.

Another time, i ...

Ahhhh, i've had my moments.
