The mind of Engineer_AYO

hey my people, this is a public service announcement. i should have done this long ago but i was busy battling some oloshious fellow under the name virgin nigeria(VN). i'll keep it simple and straight forward. IF YOU KNOW ANYONE GOING TO NIGERIA ANYTIME THIS MONTH FROM THE STATES, PLEASE HELEP ME CONTACT THEM TO CHECK THEIR FLIGHT INFO FOR ANY CHANGES. idiotic VN cancelled and changed my flight on me without notifying me, i only found out that they did such when i called to do the runaround of trying to change my flight. now as it stands i'm missing my highschool reunion which is one of the reasons i decided to go to naija in the first place. im staying in london for twice days(my aunt and my cousins are happy with that by the way, instead of staying a few hours im now staying a few days) i doubt if a lot of people have found out that their flights might be leaving days late or might be leaving from a totally different airport. yeah they might arrive at heathrow and depart for ...

We have a society where there are spelt out consequences for every crime/offence you can think of. Some crimes/offences even have more than one consequence just for effects or better still to drive the message home. But depending on how some are committed, the laws broken are interpreted differently thus the consequence is interpreted differently. Heck, a few of us might have contested a traffic ticket or two even though we knew the very moment we got pulled over that we were wrong. We notice the officer spelt our name wrong, got the color of our car wrong (its dark green but he wrote down black), got the time and place wrong, and we choose to fight the ticket due to that fact. Yes, if you get your story perfected you would probably come out tops in traffic court. Are you wondering what I’m up to yet? Read on… I was running around the internet while taking a break from working today and I came across some article on msnbc. It’s a story about women drugged and raped yet the jury still c...

Long post caution why do we always try to fry our cake and bake it too? this is the story of the EX, why is it ok to make us break down and then she turns around and wants to be friends. while being friends is sometimes a good thing, why has she been singing some darn "i miss you" song in my ears lately. lil past into: we were friends for a minute. while we were friends i was in another relationfish at the time. she knew all about it and how i had handled the previous relationship. she knew how i could treat her with respect and how i could care for her and all. maibe that was wat made her want more. so anyway, when i became a free agent again, she had stated that she gbadun-ed my ringtone and all that good stuff.(NO i am not the next best thing after sliced bread) i had initially refused, talk about a girl asking a guy out and him saying no. lol. my initialy no had been bcos i didnt want to put myself on the line so soon after the past breakdown. anyway, after a while my No ...

DAWN.... today will soon be the past then tomorrow will be today time slips away so fast so make each moment pay because you can't recover lost time there is no return to yesterday life doesn't always rhyme and the future is a new day lost time is gone the past has no replay today is a new dawn a chance to go a new way REST IN PEACE PATA PATA

the stomping is over, the unlimited fliers being sent to me asking me to vote for Mr. A over Mr. B is no more. no more, who are you voting for? vote for Mr. Man. ok? Barack Obama has been elected the 44th president of "These United States". But me being the engineer that i am, i have opted to doctor some of the facts from this election cycle. im not against obama, im not sure why i have decided to attend this school of thought but one thing is sure, i've been thinking these things for a minute. i dont know if its boredom or my love for viewing things different (thinking outside of outside the box) that has prompted this blog entry. but whatever it is got me thinking good. would i have voted for McCain if he hadnt picked Sarah Palin? would i still have voted obama if his VP pick had been someone like Palin? would i have voted democrat if the nominee had been a Biden or a Clinton? Would i have voted for McCain if McCain/Palin hadn't started spilling verbal constipation...

can someone please help me pick up my jaw, and shed a tear or 20 for the world we live in. read on to find out why. my eyes have seen things, my ears have heard things, i know the world is on a moral downward spiral. i've had myself believe that things are not as bad as i might think. but am i wrong. they say grown men dont cry but i just shed a tear, for our world has mutated into something i can't put my finger on. i say mutated because i dont believe good old evolution could have been responsible for this. u might wonder where all this is coming from. what in the world could make engineerAyo shed a tear a 3. u'll find out at the end of the post. my friend sent me a clip on youtube and my jaw dropped i'll need a fork lift or a crane to raise it back into place. watch the youtube clip below and make sure u swear for whoever didnt do a good job at educating the kids in the video. help me formulate somn special for the adults present and didnt stop the madness u r about ...

thanks NBC

...or is it pilot-driver??? It was 4th of July '07. ChiefO suggested we head out to MD on a one day road trip for his friend's BBQ. I'm like cool. Yeah, I-95 is probably used to seeing Ayo and I do a quick round trip on the same day I'm like who's your friend, he says, "Funmie and a couple of others I met in blogville" I so never visited blogville at the time because I just didn't have patience for it. Anyway, whenever we have to drive back to NY on the same day we aim to leave home at about 4 a.m... never happens because ChiefO wouldn't get up from bed to get ready until I call him that I've arrived to pick him up. (We live on two extremes, I in Long Island and in on Slanting Island, he is closer to NY border so makes sense for me to do the picking/meeting up) And I have to leave L.I at 4a.m because my sprinklers got on at 4.13 a.m and it's a mad race to beat it so I don't get soaked. (funny to watch me racing to the car.. don't ev...

ok IGWE, that some song on Dbanj's latest CD. i dont know how that song is doing me but i've been feeling it a lil too much lately. im scared to listen to it on TRUSPOT cos IT might block it like they did DUDURADIO. maibe i'll just get the CD and rip it onto WMP, they cant block that can they. Igwe - DBanj "IGWE E! IGWE E! IGWE E!" NIGERIAN INDEOENDENCE DAY PARADE NYC 2008 is on saturday, i dont know if i'll be attending yet. but im kinda like 70% on the side of attending. anyway, i'll be sure to get my paparazzi on for y'all to see if i decide to add the remaining 30% to my 70%. hopefully i'll have fun, cos parades tend to get boring after attending 3 yrs straight if i know how to count right. my passies from slanting island are attending. which is kinda why i might be there as well. if u need to know who i am. just simple look for that dude in a gray polo shirt with everyone around him in green. yeah i know im special like that. few yrs back i ...

i'm blogging again, tell a friend. i could rant about OBAMA and McCAINT but im so tired of all the bruhaha i have decided to delete everything politics from my daily diet(i'll see how long that would last) anywho, for those wondering where i've been and what i've been up to. i've been running around the whole northeastern united states. I-95 seems to be my favorite interstate, but even with that, i have really cut back on my MD trips. i remember last year i was in MD so many times some pple actually thot i had finally relocated. u know somn funny though, the times i've gone to MD this year have all been because my mum is around and we've had a few family kinikon to attend which she didnt want to miss. ranging from my uncles surprise 60th birthday parry to family reunion (that i would later talk about). i'd rather endure the driving than have them dis-son or dis-nephew me. im not promising but the next time i go to MD this year, i'll have funmie's...

hey my people. work is kicking my ass, almost to the extent i begining to regret taking my vacation. its like they all joined forces against ur one and only. anyway any over-working fashioned against me na simply beans talk. gist of the week, i was running around on yahoo news the other day and i found this video clip about people going around syphoning gasoline from other peoples cars. i watched the clip with amusement, the first thot was my fellow american are so lagging behind in this great act. i remembered back in naija when my neighbours kids would raid their mum's car every night in their quest to "refill" their own car. and this wasn't around the time when gasoline was scarce, so imagine how they got when gasoline got scarce. i did my own fair share of syphoning, but mine was more for fueling the generator to watch champions league games than anything else. all this really shows how mushed up things have become. imagine costco limiting the number of bags of ri...

my grandma turned 81 yesterday. someone please join me in saying a lil' big prayer for her. i'll be back for the post of the day.

"It is not power that corrupts but fear. fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it" those are the words spoken by Aung San Suu Kyi(political activist) those words are also the only explanation i could give to the shabang thats happening in southern africa today. i know im meant to blog about fun stuff but its hard to ignore the happenings in a certain country thats looking to set new standards for a failed state. anyway, back to fun stuff. is it just me or is there a viral infection spreading in the name of ASA. she has been around for a minute(once upon a time i listened to her songs at work for 10 hrs straight) and due to my binge listening antics, DUDURADIO has been blocked by our IT dept. oooffffing eefffers! i call it a viral infection because even my fellow nigerians who would normally consider speaking yoruba or anything close to it as being local, razzzzz etc are bumping their heads to her s...

"PEACE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GONE, YEEEEEPA! FOR THE ONES NOT YET BORN" Those are the words/lyrics of ASA. On my journeys while dining with princes and scoping princesses. i heard said song and i felt some feelings i hadnt felt for quite a while now. i'm really not the politics junkie that some people might expect but when i see whats happening in this world of ours. i cant help but pitch in my 2 cents.

last time i blogged was like 15million cat years ago. i dont know whats been keeping me from bloging but i think i need to get back to my blogging ways. i've been away dinning with princes, flying with kings and queens (trying to hook up with their daughters) by the way, does anyone know where vera, OFAwhemed, afropinay, funmie, mari, cherub (baltimore gal), stranger's life ati be be lo. all the important ppl on my blog street. anyway i dey go come. make una wait me.
