On Recent Movies



I was watching House MD, a Hollywood medical series and it dawned on me on why older series seem so much better than recent movies. Apart from the actors being into the roles, characters were allowed to have flaws in older series.

Like this House MD, the male lead has no filter, one other guy has a superiority complex going on, the female lead is self righteous, and the other guy is quite selfish. These make their behaviours unique and realistic.

Unlike these days where the characters have to be liberal and should say "all the right woke things." Which rids the individuality and complexity of different characters. I'm certain that House MD series would have been cancelled if it was aired these days but it ran for 8 seasons from 2004-2012. Really surprised I didn't know about it prior to now.

I believe in Football and the impact it has had on my life. For me Football have always been more than just a game to play with friends. To me Football was everything, I had Football posters, Football pillow cases, watched Football movies. My whole life revolved around Football. I’ve been consumed by it since the day I was born. When I was young I was like any other kid except for I have always been short and until about age 11 I was skinny as a twig. These two faults in my genetic make up made it so it was hard for me to do some things I wanted to do. My favorite sport had always been football, but due to my size I did not meet the size requirements to play. So because of that I had to play other sports such as Dodgeball and Relay. Even as a child I knew playing these sports would only make me better, but mainly i just wanted to play football. Even though I was not always motivated to play these sports they had taught me a key element that would be necessary later in football and la

Fiction - The Blue Torch

I got 'it' as a gift from an acquaintance. She was the hurdle in my workplace. I was lucky enough to be interning in the same department where she was the lead manager. I admired her but my ambition was more than the admiration. I wanted a spot in the company and I wanted it badly. It was 3 months into my internship. My ebullient self was then gaining popularity. Thus, I was hopeful, certain even that I would be retained after my 6 months internship was done. I had completed my NYSC and I figured that I should do the internship instead of doing nothing at home. I loved the office environment, it was busy, hectic, serious and I loved the pressure that came with meeting deadlines. That acquaintance, no, at this time, she was only a role model. It was her approval and recommendation that I needed to be retained at the end of the internship. I had become the darling of almost everyone except her, and I was desperate to have her stamp of approval. She was not giving me the time of t

A Chunk on Anything - To Go To School Or Nay?

A couple of months ago, the trend "School na Scam" was really trending online. One might have even thought about dropping out off school with the popularity that the trend got online and offline. Sometimes when people take on to following some certain trends, one can not help but understand why and where they got such from. Nigeria is a country where it's basically survival of the fittest. That is both in literal and in the figurative sense. It's not easy to climb to the top, not only is it not easy, several other factors still drag someone deeper into failure. The state of the country leaves people competing for a particular position starting from the academic level to every other sector of the society. With that, one pays attention to how important academics actually is in shaping the future of a young adult in the Society. How important is academics? It is not all the time that a person succeeds academically, the sad reality is that succeeding academically in N
