The Back of My head is BORING!

One day, after my brother cutting my hair, I was reviewing the job he did when I discovered HOW BORING THE BACK OF MY HEAD IS.
So I tried something new!
NO its not a division sign, some random lines, or ancient lettering; its a smiley face!
I came up with this idea, drew it and my brother cut it into my head.
That's one sure way to turn the back of a boring head, into a conversation piece


Its actually pretty funny how many people actually pay attention to the back of your day and how the people you expect to pay you extra attention, don't.
My grandmother just recently discovered I had ear rings after I've had them for 3 WHOLE WEEKS and I LIVE WITH HER. And when she did notice this, she thought I had forgot to brush the back if my hair. LOL!

Ananasi The Spider Warrior.

In the beginning, all tales and stories belonged to Nyame, the Sky God. But Kwaku Anansi, the spider, yearned to be the owner of all the stories known in the world, and he went to Nyame where he found Nyame, some Mmoboro, Onini and Osebo and offered to buy them.

The Sky God said: "I am willing to sell the stories, but the price is high. Many people have come to me offering to buy, but the price was too high for them. Rich and powerful families have not been able to pay. Do you think you can do it?"

Before Anansi could even reply the Mmoboro, Onini and Osebo brust into laughter.

“He couldn’t even try to get even one of the things you want, we have all tried, and Osebo was the only one to get the closet and he couldn’t get the third thing.” Said Onini.

Anansi, whose eyes had not moved passed the Sky God replied: "I can do it. What is the price?"

"My price is three things," the Sky God said. "I must first five cups of Mmoboro, the bee’s honey. I must then have the rattle of Onini, the great rattle snake. I must then have the spots of Osebo, the leopard. For these thing I will sell you the right to tell all the stories."

Before Anansi could answer the Osebo said slapped Anansi to the side and said: “Such a tiny, weak being such as you clearly cannot accomplish such a vast take, you are a mere spider.”

Anansi said: "I will bring them." As he walked way the Mmoboro, Onini and Osebo laughed uncontrollably as the doubted and ridiculed him.

Time passed. And just about all had been forgotten; accept for what Ananasi’s plan to get the stories. One Wednesday afternoon, he came up with plan to achieve his goals, prove those who doubted him wrong and teach those same a valuable life lesson. He first cut a gourd from a vine and made a small hole in it. He took a large bowl and filled it with water. He went to the tree where the hornets lived. He poured some of the water over himself, so that he was dripping. He threw some water over the bees, so that they too were dripping. Then he put the bowl on his head, as thought to protect himself from a storm, and called out to the bees: "Are you foolish people? Why do you stay in the rain that is falling?"

The hornets answered: "Where shall we go?"

"Go here, in this dry gourd," Anansi told them.

The bees thanked him and flew into the gourd through the small hole. When the last of them had entered, Anansi plugged the hole with a ball of grass, saying: "Oh, yes, but you are really foolish people!"

He then went up to their hive and retrieved five cups of honey. He took his five cups of honey and the gourd full of hornets to Nyame, the Sky God.

“I brought the first thing on your list, and som.” The Sky God, humored, accepted them. He said: "There are two more things."

Anansi returned to the forest and cut a long bamboo pole and some strong vines. Then he walked toward the house of Onini, the python, talking to himself. He seemed to be talking about an argument with his wife. He said: "My wife is wrong. I say he is longer and stronger. My wife says he is shorter and weaker. I give him more respect. She gives him less respect. Is she right or am I right? I am right, he is longer. I am right, he is stronger."

When Onini, the python, heard Anansi talking to himself, he said: "Why are you arguing this way with yourself?"

The spider replied: "Ah, I have had a dispute with my wife. She says you are shorter and weaker than this bamboo pole. I say you are longer and stronger."

Onini said: "It's useless and silly to argue when you can find out the truth. Bring the pole and we will measure."

So Anansi laid the pole on the ground, and the python came and stretched himself out beside it.

"You seem a little short," Anansi said.

The python stretched further.

"A little more," Anansi said.

"I can stretch no more," Onini said.

"When you stretch at one end, you get shorter at the other end," Anansi said. "Let me tie you at the front so you don't slip."

He tied Onini's head to the pole. Then he went to the other end and tied the tail to the pole. He wrapped the vine all around Onini, until the python couldn't move.

"Onini," Anansi said, "it turns out that my wife was right and I was wrong. You are shorter than the pole and weaker. My opinion wasn't as good as my wife's. But you were even more foolish than I, and you are now my prisoner."

Anansi then snipped the rattle off Onini, strapped it to his back and carried it along with the rattles snake to Nyame, the Sky God, who accepted and chuckled tremendously. He then said: "There is one thing more."

The spots Osebo, the leopard, was next. Anansi went into the forest and dug a deep pit where the leopard liked to walk. He covered it with small branches and leaves and put dust on it, so that it was impossible to tell where the pit was. Anansi went away and hid. When Osebo came prowling in the black of night, he stepped into the trap Anansi had prepared and fell to the bottom. Anansi heard the sound of the leopard falling and he said: "Ah, Osebo, you are half-foolish!"

When morning came, Anansi went to the pit and saw the leopard there.

"Osebo," he asked, "what are you doing in this hole?"

"I have fallen into a trap," Osebo said. "Help me out."

"I would gladly help you," Anansi said. "But I'm sure that if I bring you out, I will have no thanks for it. You will get hungry, and later on you will be wanting to eat me and my children."

"I promise it won't happen!" Osebo said.

"Very well. Since you promise it, I will take you out," Anansi said.

He bent a tall green tree toward the ground, so that it's top was over the pit, and he tied it that way. Then he tied a rope to the top of the tree and dropped the other end of it into the pit.

"Tie this to your tail," he said.

Osebo tied the rope to his tail.

"Is it well tied?" Anansi asked.

"Yes, it is well tied," the leopard said.

"In that case," Anansi said, "you are not merely half-foolish, you are all-foolish."

And he took his knife and cut the other rope, the one that held the tree bowed to the ground. The tree straightened up with a snap, pulling Osebo out of the hole. He hung in the air head downward, twisting and turning. As he twisted and turned, he got so dizzy that Anansi had no trouble tying the leopard's feet with vines. He then skinned Osebo, leaving not one spot to bare him from the cold.

Anansi took the many spots and naked, dizzy leopard, all tied up, to Nyame, the Sky God, saying: "Here is the third thing. Now I have paid the price."

Nyame laughed with roaring laughter. Then said to him: "Kwaku Anansi, great warriors and chiefs have tried, but they have been unable to do it. Not only have you done it, but you have proven the fools who doubted you, wrong and now they all gravel at your feet. The lesson you’ve taught my children of the jungle, is why I will give you the stories and my respect. You are also now, living proof that no matter how vast a task may seem, no matter what size you are, it can be completed. Whenever a man tells a story of how he accomplished a vast task at which he was doubted, he will be known as an Ananasi warrior, after you"
