Gottfried

~ Gottfried

So I asked my readers/fans/friends to pay tribute to me. Their opinions range from the mundane to the downright ridiculous. Here are the most profound paragraphs that made the cut. Enjoy!

Gottfried is the type of man to knock a passenger in a moving bus and run away after.

Mr. Easy life. He doesn’t like stress at all. Dad was sure he was so lazy, he wouldn’t be able to make it to high school. There were mornings when everyone would be hustling and bustling to get to school, but Ragwo had shut down. His system will remain on hibernate and he’d sleep for at least three days. It was his own way of factory reset though, to be able to continue his journey on mad Earth.

Witty. Funny. Sarcastic as hell. Kind. Honest. Says it as it is. Always open to learning. Loving. A shoulder to lean on when you need it.

Gottfried is like Channel 4; full of independent programs of minority interest. He doesn’t find favor in the eyes of all, but by Christ, he’s splashed like hell. Thriving in the face of conflict and being at peace in the midst of controversy.

Gottfried is a talented, focused, smart, free-thinker. He’s also a bully, likes mild trouble and women codedly. He’s not as open-minded as he’d like to think. He is an arse!

Gottfried’s kind is rare – you know I still ponder on whoever taunts people just so they could be free with him, that was really a great approach to getting into my thick skin. Your sense of humor is one of a kind and that alone is worthy of my time.

I remember I heard of an incident from school, where a message was sent to your mum that you were sick. She hurried down, only to see you in the football field shouting at the top of your voice… “PASS THE BALL!!! PASS THE BALL!” She came closer, then called your name. Legend has it that the look on your face that day has never been seen again!

Dude is brutal in words and calm in actions. Whenever he compliments you, enjoy the nice words while it lasts because you don’t know what the next minute holds. However, deep down in his left auricle, there’s a soft spot that makes you forget how annoying he can be.

Of course, you might not agree with everything. Also if yours didn’t make the cut, feel free to write yours in the comments.

If you still can’t see them, I deleted itπŸ’€

  1. According to his height,his future sounds the same…tall and large… Very optimistic, a visionary, a savage lord,very transparent and does not really know how to encourage..He is scary too but a listener…He just can’t say something nice about you to the end “You’re beautiful but your ear is like ceiling fan”,that’s what I mean…Although he has a lot of his bad side,Gottfried doesn’t do to please and he is a friend to rely on

  4. Annoying and sarcastic to a fault, you have to continuously refresh your sarcasm browser to keep up. And he magnetizes you so much that you hate him as much as you love him.
    He’s also a friend that is there for you, as long as it suits him.

  7. Hmmmmm, Ebuka πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ………
    Your sense of humor is out of this world
    God!!…..You’re sooooo mean! Your words can pierce a soul. So sharp!……sharper than bladeπŸ™„
    I actually used to avoid you, back then in school β€˜cos I couldn’t deal with all that meanness 😒
    I saw you as a bully ( I felt you bully with words and those your mean looks)
    But then, In all of this, I feel you wouldn’t hurt a fly and I also think that you’re an amazing person still …

  8. At first it’s like….. Who is this stand-offish guy? πŸ™„πŸ˜….. Then it’s why is he so intrusive and bothersome? πŸ™„πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ… Then grudgingly… He can be quite funny πŸ˜’πŸ˜„… Is that really how he is or is it just a short lucky spell for him? …. Then woah! His mind is brilliant! πŸ’₯…. And finally, you become convinced that Gottfried is a rich, full package of funniness, depth of mind, undiluted sincerity, variety, soft heartedness (no matter the packaging) and adorableness πŸ˜πŸŒΉπŸ€—

    Cheers to evolving perceptions of ọmọ brother Moh πŸ˜πŸ˜„πŸ˜‚πŸ₯‚

Well Brother, you caught my attention on this site, I am the King of Readers, I read everything, even the fine print, I can pick out a mis-spelt word in a thousand page book, you might find my posts interesting or not, as the case may be, the whole reason I bother to write is to make some new friends,engage in dialog, or discourse as the case may be. I am a Big Fan of Louis H. Lapham’s essay’s………..
