The day I meet the coolest guy on planet Earth...

Enough said.

Talking To Strangers

i used to think that my inability to start random conversations with strangers will one day be the death of me. well, not anymore. turns out that it was a good thing after all when last week while waiting for a friend for lunch by the campus rear gate, against everything i've ever stood for, i walked up to a complete stranger (a-6-feet-tall-nice-looking-african-guy) who was at that moment, smoking a mild 7 cigarette with his fingers tapping rhythmically on the virtual qwerty keypad of his htc smartphone and said 'hi'. nothing fancy. just a simple 'hi' with a smile on my lips and never for a moment in my life it occur to me that the word 'hi' can prompt such destructive and perpetual catastrophic effect on the soul of a 19 year old...


there was once a time where i don't even look at the crowd of people walking to/from class as i passed them by back in college. it would be an exceptional sight to see me lifting my head off the ground even just for a second and by all means, if someone got that on still photography, it would sell like hell. some would argue that da vinci perhaps painted a different version of the mona lisa on the ground and i was preoccupied in search of that piece of fine lost art that i haven't had the time to lift my head up and catch a glimpse of the world. some say im just shy.. wtf?


truth is, i just don't talk much. reason? i piss people off the moment i start talking. its an unusual yet stupefying ability that God let me have in order to make the world a better place :)


now. time has changed. as a law student in the making, i need to talk more and converse into random conversations with random people more and by all means, piss more people off at the same time too...for im a multitasker. i talk and piss people off the same time :)


anyway, the conversation below is exactly what happened next after i said 'hi'...


Guy : Hey man. Wassup? How are you doing man? *insert deep african accent*
Me : Im doing great. What about you? .... *went on for a moment*
Guy : Blaaa Blaaaa Blaaaa
Me : Blaaa Blaaa Blaaa
....
....
....
....
and finally,
Guy : Hey my friend, do you think it is possible if I borrow 3000 bucks from you? I need to pay for my tuition fees to the university and my account is having a minor problem at the moment. The international exchange rate is not....err err steady, at the moment so they can't process my account yet. So my friend, what do you say?
Me : Errr... 3000 bucks in Zimbabwean dollars? 






never a dull moment
