AFRICANS AND THOSE THINGS CALLED
RESOLUTIONS:
You know how you
are supposed to come up with a list of “resolutions” at the beginning of the
year to try to make yourself a better person?
This year, well I didn’t
come up with a list coz over the past years I have found it challenging to
stick to them. Dad urged me to come up with one, but the problem is, it’s not
easy for me to think of ways to improve myself, because I’m already pretty much
one of the best people I know.
And speaking of
resolutions, even here in my continent of Africa , many people I’ve seen who
come up with them end up even more miserable because they’re indiscipline to
the list and so it remains pieces of suggestions on paper. Crap! What a waste!
One thing though I
noticed right off the bat is that the people in my family are doing a lousy job
sticking to their New Year’s resolutions.
Mom said she was
gonna start going to the gym, but she spent the whole afternoon watching TV.
And dad, poor old
dad, he said he was gonna quit drinking, but after dinner, I caught him in the
garage, drinking on the rocks.
Well, those New Year’s
resolutions didn’t even last a full 24 hours.
