The office boys decided to go out for lunch today. And of course you guess what guys talk about when they amongst themselves . We got into the car , six of us in total . We all decided to have lunch at an indian restaurant somewhere in silver springs. On our way to lunch , we started discussing about the economic recessions and how we all were tidying up our spending Here are excerpts from our discussions [Karthick]: Grocery shopping used to be 120 dollars now it is about 200 dollars. I had to cut back on a couple of things [Doyin] Really [Karthick] I registered my wife for a computer training school , now there is no time for her to attend weddings . She is busy doing one homework or assignment .The more she attends weddings the more she buys clothes and jewelries..And indian women love gold.

Ken Karpmans Story

Image
He graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree and M.B.A., then got a high-paying job as an institutional equity sales trader. He married his dream girl, had two children and traveled the world on expensive vacations. Over the span of Karpman's impressive 20-year career as a trader, he climbed the company ladder, reaching a salary of $750,000 a year. "Life was good, we were making a lot of money -- and why wouldn't this just continue on?" Karpman said. From all appearances, Ken and Stephanie Karpman were living the American dream in Tampa, Fla., nestled in their 4,000-square-foot home that sits on a golf course. "I had no idea what anything cost in a store," he said. "I'd just put it in the cart and buy." Watch the entire video on ABC http://abcnews.go.com/Busi ness/story?id=7111098&page =1

From russia with love...

Went out last night to see a movie director/artist friend of mine , and we spent the all night going over movie scripts and art designs. I envy Ivan alot , he makes probably twice of what i make and does all his work from the basement of his house . With Jazz music playing upstairs , we were busy talking about the CAN film festival competition and what we were submitting for the competition. I asked him about my project and he started complaining about what delayed him to complete my project.. [Ivan] Doyin meen.. i cant focus , too many distractions [Doyin] What do you mean you cant focus, i have paid you the balance , i need this stuff ASAP. [Ivan] my russian girlfriend left me , so i cant focus [Doyin] What did you do ?

I have always thought i could handle anything , i repeat anything without being moved or pressured against my will. I was running low on cash (september 2007). I decided to rent out a room from one of my overglorified bungalow. At least that would help me with the cash flow. Placed an advert on craigslist for someone who is trying to rent a room An average age man called in and scheduled an appointment . He came to look at the room and asked all the regular questions about how much i wanted to collect , what he was allowed to do and the things he would bring along. Eric , quoted all the scriptures available in the bible , he seemed well knowledgeable of the bible , and seemed to be a spiritual person. Well i had no problem with that , all i wanted was no trouble and prompt payment. He told me he was going to move in friday night , i gave him the keys and kept copies of his license and social security. I went partying with the boys that friday night and got home around 2a.m in the morni...

JENIFA

Image
Jenifa still remains the most talked about movie for last year. The plot of a village beauty queen from aiyetoro , who comes to a university campus and is introduced to some unruly acts by friends/colleagues. In terms of comedy lines and portraying the role of a strong typical village girl. I think funke akindele played that role very well. In as much as there were a lot of technical flaws in terms of screen play/writing and lightning/sound. The movie is still a movie to watch .... By the way , it is on youtube.. the entire thing... but dont say i told you so ..

MONEY

Image
I seem to be tired of reading the old king james version of the bible. The words like Thou , Shalt , whou , seems not be exciting to me any longer. So i went to barnes and noble to spice up my bible with a new bible. Bible buying has changed over the years , there are so many variants that one can get lost in the adventure of seeking for the right bible. I stumbled on this bible "MAX LUCADO , Devotional Bible" . I flipped the bible open , very colorful and attractive , but there is still an excerpt from the introduction to the MONEY message that has my mind puzzling ... Here are the excerpts word for word " MONEY If money is the guage of the heat then this study revealed that money is on the heat of most americans. In exchange for the ten million dollars 25 percent would abandon their family 25 percent would abandon the church 23 percent would become prostitute for a week 16 percent would give up their american citizenship 16 percent would leave their spouse 13 percent w...

SOME MOTHERS DO HAVE THEM

Image
I still try to recall how and where i met this tall intimidating guy .His voice sounded more like a revolving rocket that can make an lily hearted person run for cover. It all started one of those early morning sunday services , Pastor Oye was busy preaching his sermon , "YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE" . The usher , seated two couples right behind me , one tall guy and this average height lady. I just pondered in my mind ,what a lovely couple . A tall handsome man and a beautiful lady with her darting black eyes. My mind was already pondering and imagining things , this is a perfect scenario from the "Mills and Boons love series" , i called my brains back to order "Doyin , listen to the message ". The couples were just whispering right behind me , i was a bit upset but kept my composure and pretended as if they were not bothering me. Service ended and i exchanged numbers with the guy and also realized the lady was his cousin. That was how i met Segun. Segun is just d...
