Thoughts foreign

I've being thinking, hehehehe................. got ya!! Am not the kind that thinks a lot, which doesn't mean my brain is underutilized but more like.........see thinking not my thing really, and I'll tell you why, it get's in the way of living free. Take an example, you are invited for a party in the middle of the week and you know it's going to rock, then you think (key word here is think), I have to go to work tomorrow!! In a second, you've turned that smile upside down and this could have being avoided if you just put one foot in front of the other boarded that boat went to that beach party, got so fucked up and let future you deal with the consequences. He'll probably be too hangover-ed to regret or care that the boss is pissed at him as the volume of the world has being turned down. He will just walk around, his presence only physical and his mind in Uranus.

Anyway, am trying to figure out what to say today because the things going through my head have yet to be figured out by yours truly, which means foreign things being in my head. Foreign things you ask? Foreign because am not an engineer or a contractor (builder) but I have blueprints of a nice city in my head. Am thinking of a mini-Vegas somewhere in our semi arid areas. 5-Star hotels and casinos, boxing and wrestling arenas, racing tracks for horses, dogs, bikes, cars among other reasons to increase your and my gambling debts. With such businesses in place, everything else will naturally fall in place. That's one thought.

Among other thoughts is, hold up, have you ever thought, if you had a power, which one would you rather have? At first I struggled a lot with this question, mostly between flying, teleporting and reading minds. With flying, I can literally go anywhere without worrying about traffic, physical barriers, which can also be done by teleporting but with flying, there is freedom.
People have always associated flying with freedom with all our superheros having this particular power, except for hulk I think, plus I think it would be really cool. I can imagine Richard Branson telling off a guy (that would be me) because one of his jet is about take off and am like, ''you still use that? What year am I in again?''

With teleporting, it's more of a need than a want. It's 0300 hours and your alcometer is at full tank. Your calculations tell you that between where you are and where you need to be will involve riding a boat which is not immediately available, after which you'll need to walk approximately 5 minutes to your house. On a bad night, the main gate maybe locked from the inside which means calling your neighbor to open it for you since you're too hi' to use the trick only you know (stretching to get to the latch from the space above the door). By the time you reach your door you realize that the security light is busted, and now you have to feel every key, test it in the dark since at your state you are not in a position to hold your keys, phone (for lighting purposes), the padlock and the milk (yes, I do buy milk). You get to the house and the alcometer is now at about 2/3 of the tank which means you're battling the urge to go back to the nearest pub to refill again. If for instance you could teleport, just imagine how convenient it would be, attending all parties I'd be invited to regardless of where they maybe, never being late for appointments or work, even teleporting to take a shit. On the flip side, it means getting zero exercise (considering you'll probably teleport everywhere including the loo), and drunk dials might translate to drunk teleports. On the bright side, I would probably have scratched off most of the things on my to do list before I die i.e.

  1.  Go to Amsterdam.
  2. Visit at least one country in South America.
  3. Slap a cop and snatch his cap
  4. Sex with an A-list actress.
  5. Drink with Jack Sparrow.
  6. Attend a rock concert, preferably Nickelback or Coldplay, but I'd settle for Breaking Benjamin if for some insane reason I find myself running out of time.
  7. Yet to be put down but a committee has being formed to discuss the possibilities.

Reading minds is trickier, which means I would need a lot of self control, anger management and high tolerance for idiocy. It would be weird to walk somewhere order coffee and watch people. That college kid on a coffee date praying that the girl he's trying to impress doesn't order anything above Sh. 500 as it's above his limits while the girl is just thinking why he's trying so hard to impress her coz she already likes him.
Note: If we were more frank to each other, relationships might last longer.
Where were we, reading minds. The upside is no one will ever be able to lie to me, and it will be much easier to give people what they want. I would have genuine friends, women who love me for me, and those who need a quick fix and never call you back. However, even your closest friends have bad days, secrets, and sometimes a low opinion of you. You might be forced to re-evaluate your friendships a lil too many times, and family might be a lil too pretentious for your comfort level.

Walking through walls would be cool too, so would throwing fireballs or speed. So thinking, I think it's bad for me as the head needs fewer things to worry about.

Enough of my ramblings, how about your thoughts.

  7. A buddy of mine actually asked me this q last week n I said I would go with reading minds. People are never gonna b honest, so knowing what someone really wants is a PLUS for me n saves me the hassle of guessing what they want.

  8. I think a power that would allow me to give back to the community would be ideal for me, like the power to heal or help offload their burdens
