Hello, y'all. Today is another day of randomness. Lol. It's actually a busy day for me, for the most part. Busy days don't really stop my random thoughts from wondering. So, I've got two random piece for you. I hope you enjoy them.

I had this friend back in secondary school. She was my neighbour, gossip mate, partner in crime. We were so close. Everyone in class knew it, and they knew not to to meddle. The friendship continued after secondary school.
Two years ago, it became wobbly, shortly after my dad died. I expected her to be there more. She didn't call as much as I wanted. I didn't tell her when the date for the funeral was fixed, I was angry. She saw the picture on WhatsApp and called. She wasn't happy that I didn't tell her. I was still pissed. She was supposed to be my friend after all. Then, I lost my phone and contacts and that was it. Even after I got a new phone, I could have easily reached her on social media but I didn't. I was still sulking.
One afternoon, I saw her online and decided to say hi. I was going to lash her. But the first thing she said after she said hi was, 'I lost my aunty.' I knew her aunty and her baby in diapers then. She just died. No illness, no nothing. It hit home. My words got stuck in my mouth and my selfishness was forgotten. The week my dad died played vividly infront of me.
See, this life is too short. Too damn short to be dying in silence. Too short to allow selfishness cloud your reasoning. You got something to say to someone? Go ahead and say it. Tell them how much you love them and how much they mean to you. Tell them if they're being an arse. Tell them that this is the reason you can't continue to be in their lives anymore. Tell them how you treasure what you both have. There's no right moment. Nature happens. Life happens. And there's nothing anyone can do about it, no matter how hard we try.

Shortly after I lost my gadgets, before I got new ones, I was at the cyber café. I had some assignments to take care of. There was this guy beside me. He was young, probably in his early twenties. He was there before I came. I bought an hour ticket, sat and noticed that his system was logged out.
'Is the network bad?' I asked him.
He shook his head.
I logged in and got busy. After a while, I noticed that he was fidgeting. He would log in and log out, then do it again after about three or four minutes, while checking to see if anyone had noticed. I began to watch closely, and guess what? He was downloading a video of more than 200MB. I smiled and minded my business.
It wasn't long before one of the workers walked by and caught him. She cancelled the download, logged him out and disconnected the system. Young man went mad and started abusing her. Told her to go and find a better life for herself like her mates, that she's going to die there. When he saw that she wasn't ready to exchange words, he grabbed his bag and left.
You see, I worked in a cyber café. One of the rules was no heavy download of any kind. This young bobo knew the rules but he still went ahead to break it, all the while shinning eyes like a rat. He had his phone there with him. He could have avoided the situation by using that money he spent on the ticket to buy airtime and subscribe. He could have saved himself the embarrassment but no, he preferred stealing and didn't fail to disappoint when he was caught.
Doing the right thing costs nothing, you know. Why do people like doing otherwise, and with clear eyes too? This young man not only lost his money, he also lost the file, and left angry.
Now, where's the fun in that?
