My brother and I had just gotten admission, I was to
study Mass Communication and he was to study Engineering. On the day we were to
leave the house my mum called us, “Beware of Girls” she told me, and she turned
to my brother “You have to Endure”.
We
didn’t understand the meaning of the advice until my 3rd year in the
university, when I have lost count of how many girls I have called my
girlfriend; those that broke my heart and those I crushed theirs. Am not even
sure the one currently with me will last the next few days.
On the
other hand, my brother was beginning to understand the advice; his once nice
carved hair which was now bald was an evidence of his endurance. His rumpled
clothes and unkempt room which he always left for an early morning class were
signs that he was enduring.
He had
become a nerd, always buried in books; he now substituted parties for night
class. Girls I see as ugly, are the ones he sees as beautiful, those I try to
manage their little beauty became his Angels. The environment had taken effect
on him just like it did on me.
Before
now, all I could do was having secret crush on girls without having the courage
to say Hi, but now I can not only make them blush, I can also make them wet.
CD’s to
me back then in high school meant Compact Disk, but now I can tell the quality,
color and size of any kind of ‘Johnnies’, Durex would be better than Gold
Circle if you were going for the cheap ones.
I was
proud that I enjoyed school, but am not sure that school enjoyed me, my brother
was proud that school enjoyed him, but he wasn’t sure he enjoyed school.
Whichever way, we all enjoyed. The question of who enjoyed better
depends on the way you see enjoyment. School and knowledge are like Condom and
sex; no condom, no sex, for those who seek protection.
