When it rains.....it pours..

I've always been quite good at English. No false modesty here, i take pride in being well versed in the language. I'm especially familiar with sayings, slangs, quips and quotes so when i came across the sentence used as this post's heading many years ago, it was a bit baffling at first till i thought it through much later on and came upon a longer version.

"For some people, when it rains, it pours".

The urban dictionary describes it as 

"When something good or bad happens it will happen again in a short period of time or it will get worse"

This is what has been happening to me recently. Permit me to explain.

Now, i've been officially single for a very long time. Yes, really. I don't know whether it's because i'm getting older or what but the truth is that recently, i've started finding it very distracting and tiring to start the whole "chasing after babes" or performing all the crazy rituals associated with wooing Naija babes. (Maybe it's because i haven't found miss right yet). 

Right now, my mind is on the money train and my focus is on trying to get to where i want to be in life and fulfill some crucial life goals for myself. Women, sadly take a back seat right now to this.

Don't get me wrong o....there'll always be a babe or two or three lurking around who you can always call up whenever the fancy catches, but never anything serious at all.

But now ladies and gentlemen, despite all my conscious efforts on no serious relationships yet, my year long single status, f**kbuddies and all,  i find myself entangled with three, yes.. you heard right... three women who (to be scrupulously honest) are making unconscious efforts to breach the fortress and establish residence.

First we have Contestant Number 1 who i met at my cousin's party and in an alcohol fuelled session, i turned on the charm and sweet-tongued my way to her number, address and other details

Some Pros: beautiful as hell, working class, intelligent, 

Some Cons: High maintenance, not sure of her single status

Contestant number two is a colleague of my sister's. We met at Ugo's house and the "relationship" has been mostly phone based.

Some Pros: Beautiful, shy, working class, not high maintenance

Some Cons: Too shy, very religious, will obviously want to wait till marriage.

i gave contestant number three a ride to work one fateful day and its become sort of a ritual for us every monday seeing as she lives close to my pad.

Pros: nice looking, not high maintenance, hardworking

Some cons: Not too classy, lives near my house, self employed and struggling

For me, when it rains, it pours!!
