What’s it been a month and what 10 days? Hell who’s counting? I have been preoccupied with some vital shit, I forgot to blog. How are all my folks doing? I miss yall soooooo. The pep talk I once got from this blog had a way of brightening my day!
Okay let me bring yall up to speed! The summer session is over, well almost, I have finals this weekend so all yall prayer warriors, talk to God on my behalf. A quick shout out to all my folks who celebrated their birthday, Remi, Kunmbi, Oyin Derin, Denrele, Dewunmi, Sir Niyo and Oh lest I forget the man that gave me life…Happy Birthday Daddy!
A few bad news…I am broke! My car is worth $4grand and I owe $8grand on the piece of shit! My hair is nappy and I can’t figure out what to do with it and I have a paper on Saturday on College Algebra and I don’t know jack! And the baddest of all the news…. I am still single! I am sure you are like so what? Well my ass will be 26 in 18 days!!!
Okay enough bad news, now the good news!
I haven’t been sick in months! I am getting ‘A’s in all my other classes (except College Algebra) I just washed my car, Derin arrives in the morning, my account is positive and the best news of all…. I am HIV NEGETIVE! Yes you read right! The latter brings me to the next topic of discussion, Have you been tested?
Okay so the other day right, some chick asked me to buy fucking life insurance, which pretty much goes against my selfish beliefs (no one should benefit from my death) but this girl just graduated and her first job is with New York Life so I decided to indulge her and do something unselfish in the process. She ended the application process by collecting some of my saliva and she handed me HIV paper work to educate me on the process. Until that moment, I had not realized how ignorant I had been. I had never been tested for HIV because I secretly thought I was immune to the disease, besides, I must have been tested when I had my child and again during my splenectomy and moreover, I have never heard of anyone I knew personal or otherwise that had the virus. After the girl left I started wondering What if? My ifs drove me to go get tested, I found a lab that provided results within 24hours of testing so I dished out $49 and got the test. This was a Friday, I had to wait till the following Monday to get my results. By HIS grace I am Negative, but those 3 days were the longest in my entire life! I was scared shitless! Not of the thought of dying but of the shame that came with the dreaded disease! I have a newfound appreciation for the term “safe sex”. A lot of ignorant people associate the HIV virus with promiscuity but the truth of the matter is if you have ever had unprotected sex you can contract the disease. I employ you all to get tested, it was scary but in relation to the piece of mind afterwards, it was well worth it.
All right, I am bored already from this depressing topic; lets see what else has been cooking in my kitchen…. My dearest cousin Derin is coming to town, she is having her first child in about a month! My girl, Imade just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and Bisola is due any minute now! These heifers have been busy!!! Funmi and Victoria and Fela in no particular order, are getting married in the next three months. Omolayo is Funmi’s little bride…stay tuned for pictures.
