WORDS FOR THE WISE

THE VALUE OF TODAY
It's common to hear sayings like in 5 years time, I will be this or I will be that. Such sayings are nice but the big question is what are you doing today to become that in 5 years time.
Consider TODAY as a Farmland that will produce a harvest(future) that you sow.
Don't be a what will be, will be person. The best way to PREDICT your FUTURE is to  CREATE IT.
Value today for without it there will be no tomorrow,
Yesterday is gone and will never come again,
Today you can be what you couldn't become yesterday,
Tomorrow is just another today.

So my own words to you out there (yes you) HE WHO HAS EARS LET HIM HEAR AND HE WHO IS WHOLE LET HIM DO.

STEPPING INTO YOUR SHOES.

Guys yes we judge you by your shoes and how you to choose to wear them. So next time you feel like putting those running shoes on, keep this tips in mind.

1. Dressing shoes come in a whole lot of style and colour. These include derbies, oxfords. They are dressy to be worn with suits or sometimes chinos. DO NOT for the love of humanity pair them with jeans please.

2. Less dressy shoes like loafers and moccasins. They can be paired with chinos, khakis, corduroy pants and designer jeans.

3. Sneakers. Guys, if sneakers was human it would sue you all to court for all the hurt and abuse. They are mostly worn with jeans and less formal trousers.

4. Boots. How you were boots mostly depend on your line of duty and the weather; say for instance on a rainy day. Can be paired with jeans or corduroy.

5. Sandals. Yep they go just fine with our Nigerian attire and shorts too. Please don't pair them with jeans or a suit. Never a suit. Unless you're my great grandfather.

And as a bonus; For shoes to go with shorts, keep these in mind.

And...

Finally these rules are pretty much basic but pending on the varied style of each type of shoe and the trend, these rules can be bent a bit. So for more suggestions, I'll simply say, 'ask Google'.

I have missed this place

I've missed y'all. But now I'm back and I'm here to stay.

So keep a date with me everyday. Kisses...

DRUGS MEET ART

I found this article online and I just had to share. It was way too intriguing not to.
It read thus;

"The world is a crazy place! People do all sorts of things, and this artist took that a step further!

Bryan Lewis Saunders is an artist who specializes in Self Images. He’s drawn over 8000 of them. In 1995, he got a thought – about how drug-affected brains work. He got a brainwave of trying it out himself, and as a result, he’s had a small level of permanent brain damage, and spent months in hospitals and de-addiction centers.

But not before he completed the series. Each of these images was drawn under the influence of the mentioned drug.

Stay away from Drugs, people. These are quite terrifying!"

So basically the following are pictures of how he sees himself as influenced by each respective drug.

#1. Absinthe 

 #2. Cocaine

 #3. Crystal Meth

#4. Heroin

#5. Hash

#6. Marijuana

#7. Morphine

#8. Valium

#9. Xanax

So ever thought of doing drugs, think again. This things aren't cool.

Movie Moments.

2014 is over halfway gone and so I decided to look up some of the movie favorites.
Here are the top 10 so far of 2014.

#1: The Grand Budapest Hotel.

I haven't  seen this movie but something about it tells me I'm gonna like it. I hope it is worth all the hullabaloo.

#2: The LEGO Movie.

I grew up knowing LEGO as a toy and now it's a movie. Okay * shrugs*. That's all my thoughts on it.

#3: Jodorowsky's Dune.

That name sha. It perks my curiosity though. I can't wait to see it.

#4: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Yay! Finally a movie I've seen makes it to the list. Need I mention I love superhero.

#5: Only Lovers Left Alive

Hmmm. Okay now. Creepy name, 'creepier' photo.

#6: Noah

There's  something about Russell Crowe that just fit these kind of films. Don't you think so. I have this feeling that if Noah was to comeback to life, this is exactly what he would look like. Anyway I can't wait to see it as well.

#7: Night Moves

Okay. I'm curious about this one too.

#8: Edge of Tomorrow

I think this theme has been over flogged  this past years. I mean, think about oblivion, pometheus... the list g.oes on. I hope they are gonna thrill us with a different dimension this time.

#9: Stranger By The Lake

Okay! I "comment my reserve"

#10: 300. Rise of an Empire

I remember watching the original 300 a couple of years back and it left me so heartbroken. I felt like I needed some closure. Well this movie didn't really give me the closure I sought but it gave me a lot of comfort.
And the list is done. Is there any movie freak out there who has seen all 10.
Let me know what you think if you've seen any.
Meanwhile I have this list courtesy of http://time.com/2823520/best-movies-of-2014-so-far/
