    ALÁJÒÓTÀ Roll out gongs into the ears of Àyánwálé, to rip out the phantasm of drowsiness that perches on him I say: Roll out gongs into the ears of Àyánwálé; lift him like the wind does to the helpless leaf, and set his drums in motion for today's ritual!   Àyánwálé, like the hunter fills his gun for the day's hunt, swearing to never miss his shot at any slothful antelope, let your drums spark my weary bones intto action! Like the fight between brutal bulls, punishing the earth in a frenzy violence, let them cause my legs to wrestle with the earth!   Ayánwálé, roll out drums into my buttocks, and let them shed the pains that have heaped on my body from the day's toil! I say: roll out drums into my buttocks, and let me dance the dance of the mother hen in her roosting shed, gyrating her body to the distance sound of ìyáàlù!   Let me dance the dance of   the happy monkey, twacking his chest to th...

  DADDY's LITTLE GIRL   I still remember the fear in her eyes when I asked why she walked with her legs open. I swear,I thought it was an infection,I bought drugs upon drugs,I took it with regrettable levity.          That Saturday morning my baby girl was so unusually quiet, I mean I needed that sometimes but it was different. She laid on the couch,mopping aimlessly at the chandelier. What could an eight year old girl could possibly be thinking of? I called her to me, she stood up and started walking towards me but really slow. This was getting too much and though it was inappropriate,I laid her down and asked her to spread her legs.          I could not shout, no, I didn't want to scare her the more. The red fresh sore I saw down there spread visible goosebumps all over my body, I wanted to throw up, I wanted to shout, but all those feelings translated into tears. I carried her, kissed her ...

  YOUR LIFE HERE AND LATER IN THE THEATRE. I am so excited to bring to you the list of skills , traits, and qualities of personality by Dr. Louis E. Catron that are usually well-developed in individuals who complete four years of undergraduate theatre study. Take special note of them. They are more extensive and important than perhaps you recognize. Stay close. 1.       Oral Communication Skills Many students find that theatre helps them develop the confidence that's essential to speaking clearly, lucidly, and thoughtfully. Acting onstage teaches you how to be comfortable speaking in front of large audiences, and some of your theatre classes will give you additional experience talking to groups. Furthermore, your work on crews has taught you that clear, precise, and well-organized oral communications are best. Oral communication skills are so important to some employers that they often send management trainees to special workshops. You already hav...

                                                         BOOTY CALL   ( A short story ) It's summer and some vacation to unwind and let our head out. I lodged a week in Havana Suites and we were having a block party. Goddamn I spotted this hot chick. She was gonna ghost but trust me I am a handful. As a sharp guy, I made my move with my usual line "hey Santorini". That enough won her spell bound. She smiled and deep inside of me I knew things were gonna turn out pretty fine. I ordered her a bottle of tequila. Another way to sweep her off her feet. Not just a sweet guy but got some talking pocket and fat bank account. We chatted a lil before she told me she needed a stroll. Bruhhhh, I was gonna say that as well. One could say this girl was leading me on. Emi original gangster, I subrscirbed to the idea and strolled towards the karao...
