Free gas in my hood!!!
My gas tank was almost empty so I made a quick stop at the gas station this morning, I figured I’d fill my tank because I absolutely hate stopping for gas. I noticed that pump was fueling but the money gauge was not moving, then it moved a bit to 3 cents the 6 then gradually it moved until I the gas stopped pumping at 45 cents!!! Da hell? I got in my car and watched as the gauge indicated I had a full tank! Am I on some local punked or something? I was baffled, I was also extremely late and I watched in awe as the folks around me pumped their gas and drove off exclaiming that some miracle had happened. The attendant in the store could barely speak English and he watched culelessly as some amebo oyinbo woman tried to explain him what was going on.
Okay so I filled my gas with 50 cents, I should be happy but I feel like a bloody thief! I wonder how long its gona take for them MOFO’s to figure out there is something wrong with their gas pump!! Wait o! I hope we don’t get charged once they figure it out!
I am charging $10 for the address of this gas station...holla at me !
The Odds are against me but pile up enough Odds and you are Even. The inevitability of my ability to consistently overcome overwhelms me. As do the magnificence of God's grace towards me and mine. I marvel at my proximity to my destiny. I am astounded that Can't, Won't and Later disrupt my journey to greatness. A conscious decision is mine to make and christen them Can, Will and Now! My reflection gazes back at me with another challenge at hand, procrastination hinders my reaching my destination. Don't tell me where I should go till you walk in my shoes. Yesterdays mistakes are for tomorrows amends, yet I ponder on them like the hand of time changes? Mediocrity has become a comfort zone and I have turned obstacles into road-blocks rather than stepping-stones, I find myself compromising my integrity as I try to maintain the status quo. How easy it is to condemn me and defame my character, when you really should commend me, and applaud my efforts. Intimidated by my confidence, you misconstrue it as arrogance, I know who I am.... A strong, black-diamond in the rough, a female soldier, a Queen amongst her peers.. now who the hell are you?
