6 quirky things about me

1. I think of depression as some form of excess energy, energy that can be worked away by doing something physical. Since I am not registered with any gym here, walking is a good way to spend the energy. A couple of nights ago, in Cotonou, I did a two hour walk. Some of my friends thought I was crazy when I told them. Coffee also helps.

2. I have paunchophobia. In normal English, this means that I have a fear of developing a paunch. The fear is related to the fact that
a)my father does
b)I love fermented drinks of almost any taste.
Doing anything about it? Not really. I do some sit-ups sometimes.

3) I enjoy watching romantic comedies (I have even watched The Prince and Me. Yea, it is that bad. Don’t worry, I don’t cry when I am, or after, watching them), but I can’t stand mushy mushy love songs. And can you believe this? I read a couple of Mills and Boon romance novels as a teenager.

4) I am not religious, but I think it makes a lot of sense to believe that the world was created by someone. Or who else would one blame for this mess?

5) The next time I return to this world – if re-incarnation is real – I would like to come as a woman, if I had to be human.

6) I am sometimes hopelessly naïve. How else does one account for a post that seeks to invoke the ‘responsibility to protect’ clause, or for a belief that world peace is possible?

    I forgot to mention to that I no longer blog at omodudu. I now blog at mootbox.com. Some hacker guy took over my former blog. Anyway, perfect excuse to move to wp. I will post my response later today. Long time bro.

    Just curious, why would u want to come back as a woman? Women rock, but i’ve never heard a guy say that.

    @Sting.
    Why would I like to come as the same thing? It is like asking me whether I would like to do the same things I have done if I could do them over again. I know how it is to be a guy, wouldn’t it be nice to see how it is to be a woman?
