Does your mouth stink in the morning? Here's how to get rid of it

Does your mouth stink in the morning? So does mine.

In fact, it stinks so much that the first thing I do in the morning is to rush for my toothbrush. If I accidentally swallow saliva before brushing, I'll experience serious stomach aches.

If for some reason I can't brush, I would have to spit more than a pregnant woman to avoid stomach aches. Also, I don't speak to anyone until I've brushed - not even to my parents. I just nod like a lizard.

The School (Bus) Plane

I had an interesting dream today. In fact, I just awoke from it. I usually forget my dreams but for some reason, I remember this one.

I was walking down the stairs with two young women, both friends of mine. We were talking about important stuff and then the younger woman blurted out, "I want to get married."

Dreaming of better humans

It's 3:25AM and I'm restless.

For the past three hours, I've been half-awake on my bed thinking. I know what to do. Rather, I know what I should be doing but...

3-Step Process to Writing Irresistible Stories

Have you ever participated in a tug of war? Did you enjoy it?

Two rival groups at opposite ends trying to pull each other over a line. As a spectator, how would you feel if one group pulls the other over the line with the very first pull?

13 Crazy Paradoxes of Life

Here are some of life's contradictions - things that just don't make sense but are true. Enjoy

Fela the Controversial Prophet

Fela's style of dressing was Eccentric. He portrayed his Africanness

I love Fela music. I have always wanted to write the lyrics of his songs and translate the non-English words. Maybe I will, maybe not.

I often wonder what the man was like in person. I have watched all the interviews I could find. I have read as much as my eyes could take. Yet, I am unsatisfied. The man in the music seems elusive.

Fela Had Giant Balls

Don't Trust Anyone - Not Even Yourself

People are so deceptive that having a lie detector wouldn't not guarantee that you wouldn't get lied to. Here's an example.

Balance - Life lessons from learning to ride a bike as an Adult

Life is like a scale. It is about degrees, timing and balance. Here's what learning to ride a bicycle as an adult taught me.

All Play and No work makes me miserable

Play without work makes me miserable. Seriously, it does.

Whenever I have fun for an awful long period without working, things go haywire. Comedy clips become less funny, films become uninteresting, and worse, my beloved Japanese anime lose color.

Whenever this happens, I become restless, and get strange headaches. I would play interesting videos but close them within minutes. I would toss aside books after reading a few lines. To calm my restless mind, I would try sleeping more but after a while, sleep would become a chore.

Here is the craziest part.

I want more

"To all who have, more will be given, and they will have more than enough. But everything will be taken away from those who don't have much." - Matthew 25:29

Is it not crazy that banks loan money only to people who don't need it? I can understand why banks act that way though. It's the other things that bug me

No more Mr. Nice Guy

"Men are more ready to repay an injury than a benefit, because gratitude is a burden and revenge a pleasure" -Tacitus

It is good to be good, nice and to say the truth. However, being good, nice and truthful all the time is foolish.

Nice people are taken advantage of all the time. Hence the expression, "Nice guys finish last." I know this from personal experience.

A child who speaks the truth all the time attracts bullies like shit attract flies. For truthful adults, their friends would avoid them like a deadly plague because they can't be trusted with secrets.

Life is confusing

Life is crooked. It's full of paradoxes and contradictions. It really makes life hard for straightforward people like me.

Be nice to strangers - don't speak to strangers. That's the only contradiction I could think of. Luckily, I found two lists of life's contradictions.

Politics in Africa

Politicians are people who are paid to talk, discuss and argue in lieu of solving problems. I wonder what would happen if politicians are paid like modern business executives - according to performance.

Would they still speak politically, hedging their words or would they become blunt and speak their minds at every turn?

PayPal vs Developing Countries

PayPal’s treatment of developing countries is quite interesting. Residents of developing nations can spend their own money through PayPal. However, PayPal does not allow these same people to receive money through its service.

It really is frustrating to people constrained by PayPal's hypocrisy. PayPal makes money from these people when they buy things (credit card processing fees). However, PayPal is not returning the favor.

Troubles, like babies, grow larger by nursing

"Troubles, like babies, grow larger by nursing" -Lady Holland

Babies need care to survive and grow. They have to be fed, bathed, clothed and carried every single day. Without these, they would die of infection or starvation.

Like babies, problems need nursing to survive and grow.
