As an Adolescent Child, Leaving the Comfort Zone


Parents would hardly understand just as you won't if your pet ( a cat, if you love cats) of many years is big enough to be undomesticated ( a cat leaves home when it is growing too big). That's a pet. Now imagine how it would feel for your mother who carried you for months unseen and you emerged with tiny-parts that marvelously developed into you. 

At teenage, there's this air of defiance and deviance. Not only to parents but to social standards. That's why upright habits formed at this age is hard to lose and otherwise. 

Your mind to your parents is like a new novel that every chapter holds episodic suspense. They see you developing that independent rationality that marvels them; You of tiny parts years ago.  How do you treat your favorite and most sensational novel that you are yet to fully devour its climactic chapters? You won't want to release it to the world just as your parents seek to have you close.

Anyway, we are prayerfully expected to outlive our parents. Thus every moment with them may be filled with 'wahala' and brouhaha but it's a worthy cost in the nearest future when separation will be compulsory. Thus you should:

Be good now and they will be happy forever. 
Forget that air of independence, my sibling.
Stay as long as you can and pay your dues.

Brentford Beat Blundering Gunner Two Goal To Nil

  The start of EPL came with Arteta still unable to  fumble out of his not-too-convincing career in Arsenal. Brentford came roaring from relegation to beat Arsenal who dream of getting to top four this season. But like their pre-season, a miscarriage of dreams, they fell a goal behind to Brentford through Canos super strike. From that moment forward, Brentford became the Bully, created more chances and Arsenal passed sideways as if the goal post was at the corner flag. Anyways, White white-out on the field, the presence of 50 million bargain wasn't felt. Mari was too casual for a defender. Tierney will soon burn out. Chambers tried his chambers-efforts. Upfront Balogun was starved of direct passes. Pepe will never pepper any defender except when he is in luck. The dude cannot be consistent except he sees a man-manager. Smith is a ball-smith but combined with Xhaka sideways and momentary slip & sleep off, Smith Rowe just rowing to a fruitless breeze. Martinelli needs to man...

Liverpool Laundered Chelsea 2-0

  Lampard's League of Assassins became the victim and were turned into whiff when they met King Klopp's Coven of Wizards. Mane mane-handled them, scoring a brace. Klopp's magic wand turned Timo Werner to Timo Waster. Havertz became Harvard without a degree. Kante could not count any goal. Kepa also was no keeper. Chelsea became ChelShit: as all turned messy.  The game actually started as if Chelsea would be in control for a longer time. Werner squandered two good chances, though his movements were always threatening.  But the real story unveiled after 40+ minutes into the game. Mane got Christensen to foul him. Red card for CB.  The game became only Liverpool's. Magic Mane later got the first goal and also the second which was gifted by Kepa unkempt pass. Jorginho kept jogging but not creating. Zouma tried his best and Tomori as sub was not timorous but the scoreline wasnt palatable.  Lampard has a lot to fix. But he has another league o...

Manchester United Bottled Europe Final, Emery's Emerald Victory for Villareal

In a game, someone must lose and someone wins. At times, draw could be fair. The final was finally played. Game started with Villareal being cautious. They had seen how Red Devil bedevilled Roma. A couple of mistakes, Villareal took the lead & the game changed. Emery guys used the ball more on their feet & their markings were tight press. Then, Red Devil became Lucifer rushing after the leather soul. The equaliser came immediately at the beginning of second half. Cavani converted a sublime close up goal, that revved up hope in the minds of the fans. The usual melee & mouth started, many fans were singing that Man UTD would score three. But Rashford was a rash of misses. Cavani not lucky. Fernandes was wondering why no penalty in the game. After the equaliser, emery took a risk that paid off. He subbed Bacca to choke the Rush of the Red Devil. Bacca came out for Coquelin a known midfield blocker. In that kind of game, with the equaliser, with the kind of mentality Red Devi...
