Hi, my name is .................. and i have anger issues!

If i were a member of a support group like say "Anger Anonymous" ;-), This would have been my opening line.



I have gotten angrier over the years i think! and my outlet for it is on the road to other road users who "annoy me". I know there is an underlying issue of which this anger is the product, but its one of those "Cuando seas mia" thingys that you can do nothing about really.



Generally my RA, "Road Anger" as i choose to call it, is getting out of hand and almost got me into trouble with some thug like area boys on an Okada one day. I so wasn't thinking when i did the 'YOU ARE MAD" thing with my hand and they stopped and started saying stuff, had to apologise immediately in the name of self preservation.



When RA happens, i say all sorts of unprintable stuff and i motion with my hand as well! after the area boy incidence, i kinda ditched the hand thing for when it's absolutely necesary and when the person on the recieving end looks harmless.

Don't get me wrong, RA is only for deserving people who, drive on the road like they are on a go cart, switching lanes at will or for those who just flash their full lights in your eyes when it is absolutely unnecessary, or those who think they can do a quick one and get in front of you while you are on top speed, not to mention the ones who cross the road and make you almost run them over! and the list goes on and on and on!



Do i really need to do this? the answer is no! then why do i do it? it's just an outlet for me, plus i have become soooo used to it. i have tried to stop this sooooooo many times, but it has eluded me! Now i am so so serious about it, will definately make a bigger effort.



So i am giving myself a 30 day challenge! 30 days on the road without any RA! if i slip for one day, then i start all over again until i get it right. wish me luck!

The day after Feb 14th

Somebody anyone! who detests okadas like i do? geez!!!!!!!! i cannot stand them. Most annoying part is that they are now like bees on lagos roads. Was soooo irritated driving all the way to work and back today because they were just coming at me in all directions! If i could have one wish come true, i would ban all okada riders from Lagos. Most annoying part is that they are like a necessary evil!

So it's a monday again and i had to pull myself out of bed this moring and head to work, even though i did not have the will to............ had a fun morning though. Enjoyed almost an hour of male bashing (Sorry Guys, i couldn't help myself) before i hit my desk. Had a really boring day by the way. This is like "day uncountable" in my string of bad days, so really hoping sunny days are just around the corner for me.

maybe i need to see a shrink, maybe i don't! kinda unsure about that. i have been toying with the idea for almost 4 years now, so maybe i don't if i could avoid it for this long.

Saw the soopy "Love Actually" yesterday. love it! love it! love it!

dunno what this blog is turning into especially with this post. Think it's becoming like my e-diary or something. Activated a twitter account yesterday by the way and deactivated it today. Think i am done with the likes of Hi-Five, Facebook and twitter. besides i think Twitter is soooooooooo boring. Seriously! i can tweet anything i want? duh....... so can i on my blog!

feel a headache coming on, especially with the thought of having to go to work tomorrow.

By the way, who thinks the new "we are the world for Haiti" is cool? i know i do. saw the video on youtube and it was sooo cool. especially how they incorporated rap into it. I even teared up when i got to Michael Jackson's part!
