Escaping The FRIENDZONE



I don't know a lot about other parts of the world but from the little I know on this left side of the bed,where I'm perfectly sandwiched between my pillows,I think I'ma bit Happy about the LOCKDOWN.But since adult life suggests that we tell lies to ourselves, I'd join the host of other adults and pretend to be displeased about the situation.


Imagine!I keep waking up with a RACING mind that can't help but loose TRACK of the number of times I've slept in a day,such a bad athlete (PUN intended).
How much longer do I have to sit within these 
4-WALLS
 that watched my 
3-SQUARE
 meals turn a probability like the 
2-SIDES
 of a coin. How do I live each day 
1-DAY
 at a time?

I'm finally realising how difficult it is to be locked up against your will and this really brings to the lime light the challenges of being locked up anywhere at all. Be it in Prison,at Home, by a wedding band or worst case THE FRIEND ZONE.
 With the similarities between the LOCKDOWN and the FRIEND ZONE,I started to understand the concept of the FRIEND ZONE.

 Here are three concepts of the FRIEND ZONE:

•How much you want to Leave:
For most of us experiencing the lockdown due to COVID-19, a lot of prayers have been made and is being made for it to be lifted, regardless of the consequences of infection.Well same goes for the guy or girl who is in the FRIEND ZONE. Sometimes the desire to Leave is greater than the desire felt towards the "Loved". My gap-tooth friend thinks that:



•How much experience could be gathered:
 Yes I used the "could" word cos not everyone gets that lucky. There's a lot to gather in this zone. In the FRIEND ZONE the "Lover" understands the true behavior of the "Loved". The Loved puts up no false appearance of self,cos obviously she/he isn't trying to impress or get in the Lovers good books. This zone shows you what the Loved could be like without the mushy feeling which makes a lot of people untrue.


•HHH disease/HHL vaccine:
 Another interesting concept of the FRIEND ZONE is what I call the High Hopes High disease (HHH) and sadly enough almost every Lover in the FRIEND ZONE suffers from this disease. He wants to be the
Star in your Skies
Romeo in Disguise
Never saying Good-byes
But you just want to be FRIENDS. That's the HHH disease,when the High Hopes are High. But survival in the FRIEND ZONE entails you get innoculated with the HHL Vaccine (High Hopes Low). This vaccine doesn't kill the ability to have High Hopes,what it simply does is keep it in Check.

   The FRIEND ZONE like any other concentration camp has categories of inmates. Here they are:

✓Brother-To-Me: This category of inmates are more in number than the others.After declaring their intentions,they have the privilege of secrets from the Loved. They are often times the backbone, providing support and encouragement but they never get any farther than that. Why? Because you would always be like a Brother-To-Me.(salty)

✓Just Friends:  I'm of the opinion that most RnB artists one time or the other have found themselves in this category cos they sing so well about it. This category is Like Moses and the Promise land. No matter how hard they try or nice they get,they never get close to the prize. It's like going for a kiss on the Lip but ended up on the cheek. It will end in tears. Now my throat feels more salty

✓Smile and Wave Boys:

This category never declear their intentions,they are silent Lovers that wait for the Loved to decipher the signs. Often times the Loved pretends She hasn't noticed anything ( frequent when the Loved is a female). She can freely tell him about some dude she's crushing on and would ask questions like "what do I do?" And all the Lover can do is SMILE AND WAVE in bitterness.



Heres the good news.Like any building or structure, there is always a blueprint or design. And understanding the blue print ensures easy navigation,so I'd be quick with the blueprint of the FRIEND ZONE.


⚠️ The FRIEND ZONE was designed by the creator (the Loved) to accommodate. So learn to use this feature to your advantage.


⚠️ The FRIEND ZONE was meant for "Two"; the Lover and the Loved. If it truly takes Two to Tango then it's time to play your cards right so you can Checkmate!!

⚠️ The FRIEND ZONE just like any other Zone, it has an entrance and an exit. Often times the exit is also the entrance. I know you watch movies. You can leave the FRIEND ZONE same way you got in. The question now is "How?"


⚠️ The Zone can sometimes be dynamic. It changes or shuffles roles of inmates. Did you ever watch the movie ESCAPE ROOM? Yeah that type of shit. Sometimes in the FRIEND ZONE,the Lover becomes the Loved and the Loved becomes the Lover. Well, I don't know how that works but let's just say the zone has a mind of its own. But for safety reasons in the FRIEND ZONE,I'd advice you keep Off ⚠️ cos
9Eleven Cares ❤️❤️❤️

5 REASONS WHY I DONT WANT TO GET MARRIED

 5 REASONS WHY I DONT WANT TO GET     MARRIED(THE ALTER EGO ISSSUE)    A couple of weeks back I was on my way to Metropolitan Supermarket where I went to get some hair products for my hair. I alighted from the Tricycle popularly know as #KEKE in this part of the world and was about to pay the driver when a feminine voice interposed; "il take care of it". I turned around to find my friend Ruth (real name withheld) standing beside me. To cut the long story short, I learnt that she was going through some crises in her marriage. She couldn't help but show her sadness in form of tears that rolled down her cheeks while she talked. And I was compelled to write something about Marriage.    I questioned more than a couple of people to give me reasons why they wanted to get married. But surprisingly enough some of them never wanted to get married and with legit reasons. Most of their reasons all boiled down to what I'll call the #ALTER_EGO issue. Now before I proceed to giv

"ACRIMONY" the Movie Controversy

   Have you ever asked for a die-hard movie lover and I didn't present myself to you? Well im so much a sucker for movies but about a few weeks ago, I was sucked up in thought after I was done watching the highly controversial movie ACRIMONY. And it dawned on me more like a self realisation that in as much as I can cry when I watch a sober movie, I can equally get very upset.  After much thought I decided to do a review of this movie based on my personal judgement and a few others. Just before I begin to add my own "versy" to the already existing controversy, Here is a a brief synopsis of the movie plot 'ACRIMONY' for the benefit of those who have not seen it yet. As the clearly aggrieved Melinda relates her story to the shrink, the story flashes back to the early days of her relationship with Robert (Antonio Madison, playing the younger version of the character), whom she meets when they're both in college. The young Melinda (Aijona Alexus, who seems

Pick-Up line or FuckedUp line

Okay, today I decided to take a brake from fashion and how we wear what we wear. Reason being that, im beginning to realise that most of us even after appearing appealing to the eyes; fine, overly dressed and with a lot of charisma Actually do not know how to talk. And by talking I meaning having right Pick-up lines or Chyking(like my Nigeria brothers would call it). Cos frankly I think most of you wouldn't have been born if the only line Daddy used was "You are the Sugar in my tea" which tea please? ? #thinking. Let me pause a Sec to explain why I think so: Did you know just about yesterday, out of the 7billion people in the world, in a corner of Uyo Nigeria there was a certain guy who told a girl "Baby im not staring at your boobs, im only using my eyes to find a way into your heart" Prior before now I felt like those lame pick up lines only existed in comedy movies or vocals of Okon Lagos aka Bishop (our Nigerian kevin Hart) but yesterday got me thi

Why We Fall In Love With The Wrong People

There happens to be a lot of uncertainty resulting into questions when it comes to this Falling in love thing. Its either a case of: "Falling in Love is beautiful but what if I'm falling into the wrong hands?" Or "Sometimes the person you fall for isn't ready to catch you." Some other times its: "Bottom line,we never fall for the person we are supposed to".    Now this brings me to the point of interest. Have you ever Wondered why we often fall in Love with the people who don't Love us back? Chase people who don't want us?  I could still recall way back in highschool, I use to have this beautiful seat mate(my young eyes really admired) who really was so into me but I never treated the feeling with any much respect, perhaps cos I was the one being chased? or maybe I wasn't just cutout for any of those childhood dramas. But one amazing thing was 'she never stopped'. This is same case with many of us(men/women). Many

CROCS AND HOW TO WEAR EM!!

CROCS OR NAH! Okay, today I was sitting with my friend and the sister came along. She wanted to go get food and since we were just a bit free at the time we decided to tag along on her request. While we walked down my friend kept saying Hi to almost err one, so there was a repetitive momentary stop we always had to observe to wait for her. While I waited for her with the sister I couldn't help but notice the CROCS she had on. I really don't do well with compliments though but I had I to tell her how nice they looked. Because she wore em neatly and correctly.   Now im not a croc fan, to be earnest enough I dislike them and I even dislike them the more the way some people get to wear them. Now the multi coloured rubber clogs which made way into the light in the year 2002 has been overly abused and in  #LASISI_ELENU'S voice il say "im so upset right now!". How can you wear a shirt buttoned to the neck, wear a coperate pant neatly ironed and shirt neatly tucked i

RoadsideOpinions: One Minute Man

" Says he can go for hours but pops before the toaster does"- Kermit the frog It is no more news that a lot of things are wrong in my country. Ranging from the religious crisis to misappropriation of funds and lack of  intercourse between the three tiers of the government to conceive effective synergy. Which do I talk about and leave the other? Is it the People who frown like they own the vehicle when they order Uber,Opay etc or the ones that look at you like your brain is a vacuum when you try to flag down the Keke (stop that  nonsense)they Ordered from Opay. Well that's not where the problem lies. The major problem my country faces is these people who Keep polluting the peace with a lot of noise about "doing your work Kakaraka as a man" You don't know them? Herbal drugs oooo.  Here's  from me to the ONE MINUTE MAN. You hear things like : " You no go fit do your work as a man" "Every time your wife touch you,you go say you dey

Good thing is im back for better and im back for you ♥.     Now take a close look at this picture and tell me what you noticed.

You never noticed he was wearing a SHIRT ON A SHIRT. YES! That's not a jacket.    You know the shirt on shirt is a style which is quite delicate, meaning that with just a slight error everything gets messy and not nice to behold. There's a thin line between looking cool and looking stuffed up in this kinda style. Wearing a shirt on a shirt is really a rare

RoadSideOpinion: Traffic Bright

"we all hate the traffic but the blogger and the begger disagree"- Wright Elijah There are different reasons as to which a man beats his chest. It could be as a result of cough or he's laughing. Sometimes its an instruction from the pastor to beat your chest reassuringly saying " I know who I am". Which is a clear indication that you really dont know who you are or you lack knowledge of your potentials. But an exception to this is the bus driver who took me out this morning, he clearly knows who he is and wants others to know too. "Adiok ono usoh, do you know who I am!" Yelled   our puny looking driver, his arrogance was backed up by reptive vigorous slams against his chest as he drove his question home. For some reasons which I am yet to discover, the Ibibio insult ( Ibibio translate for it shall not be well with your father) really got the other driver's temper from zero to a hundred. He was about to discharge a few blows to our driver
