MUSIC HEAD




Ok so exams have got me not blogging and after exams I wanna challenge myself to complete two novels in 5weeks, so I apologize in advance.
Today tho was fun at church as usual, and I get home and my dad calls and we are just gisting and laffing and thinking throwback stuff
Which kinda got me into this playlist thing, so I'm going to just put in all up on here and I hope you guys experienced these songs when you were kids and it makes you recall, dancing chairs, dancing competitions and stuff!














Omg, i danced to this song in high school!

I miss Aaliyah!

N the song that made Destiny's Child(if you do not believe, listen to the original song)



Ok, gotta stop here, but if you like this playlist lemmi know, n i cud do this more often, after writing I love music and if I dont stop now, I'll have a page full!
##Best wishes to all writing exams!
Hope I made you dance!

Be-ing

I wish the skies would darken and the sun fall asleep
I wish the thunder screams for me
and the skies cry my tears
I wish you'd go away and never come back
Yes, go away and dont look back
I wish I could go into yesterday and yank you out
I wish I never met you
I feel a chill up to my spine
and I know its not the winds outside
Its the tears i refuse to cry over you
the hurt I refuse to acknowledge
The shabby life you have left me with
What once used to be called happy
What once used to be called love
all gone in the twinkle of an eye
I wish I could go into yesterday and yank you out
I wish the rain would fall and cry the tears I refuse to cry

'It's not you, it's me!"- A.K.A The Break-up!

Its twitters fault! that's all I can say, I haven't blogged cus I have been twitting, and I do not know if its tweeting or twitting!
But I'm back, the semester is almost done! I cant wait to continue writing my second novel, "something Blue"
Ever heard the line, 'It's not you, It's me'?. I think in its own capacity its actually a very true statement, albeit not what you would like to hear at the time its being said, but I've used it a couple of times and meant it!
The Break up!
I find them interesting, and I hurt for those people who've had nasty break-ups, like pele!
Its sad, I hate it when guys or girls who used to be in love and send every text with 'hey baby' and 'sweetie' suddenly turn and act that cus ur experiencing a low ur suddenly as foul as a skunk!
Like c'mon now!
Ive heard of horrible break ups, like Godzilla boyfriends and girlfriends!
Why do people break up even? I dont understand anymore, it seems as though relationships have turned to flavors of ice cream! Every time you go to the store you want to try a new one!
I dont get break ups, funny cus I have broken up wiv a number of ppl, so before I come across sounding like a hypocrite i'll explain why.
I either broke up with them because as friends we were chill but if we ventured to relationship, it was just funny and awkward!cus we wer like brother n sister, broke up again, cus we wer too similar, damn, like thinking bout it makes me want to pull my hair, I'm happy go lucky, get excited bout stuff, n he was too, can u imagine both of us gisting bout our day, "no hunnie, shush, lemmi talk!" and interrupting during conversations! yo, i was created to marry a quiet man, freal! and then again, cus we or rather I was moving far away and at that time, long distance relationships? ow heck naw!!
And in some instances it was me and not them!It really was! I just wasnt a that place where if we continued, the way we were, on, two, three years down the line and they asked me to marry them, I couldnt say yes! I just dindt see them that way and to be honest I decided then that thats how I'll take all my relationships.
You know, sometimes ppl end up in relationships simply because! He is there, he likes me, oh well, and then sometime later you think, oh this isnt fair, i really dont care, and so lets wrap this up! its not fair to the other party. They actually liked you from green light and they find it hard to understand the sudden conscience hunt.
And then bad enuf as it is some of these ppl go off! Like get soo irritated during break ups like this person wasnt once the love of your life, or someone you even slightly tolerated and I dont get that, and I hear ppl say(when they wanna start a new relationship) 'well my ex said the same thing you're saying but he hurt me so bad and now I cant trust you!" and that pisses me off!
I think the only thing that I cannot tolerate is infidelity, like I dont know, there best be a good excuse, like rape or sm! lmao, but I just cant, I think its disrespectful and I am a huge respect person, so I couldnt, wouldnt , I dont know!
Do you think im irrational?!
HAve you ever used it before, or even had a Godzilla kinda break up
P.s some ppl need that Godzilla kind of break up tho, like c'mon naw, they stalk you and things! You ever had a stalker before?
Shoot, Ive had one of my near relationships just become something else, like there was nothing I dint say, this guy wouldnt free me, until I ended up not picking his calls, not replying anything, just cut him out, n that ....STILL didnt work! lol
lemmi know what you think!

TWITTER BE CURSED

Ok, so I did it
I joined twitter...
shut up! Dont judge me, I know I have commented on ppls postings about how I'll never EVER join, but before you eat me up lemmi explain.
So yesterday, my friend n I r in the lib n then she goes on twitter, n I was like 'nah uh, we'r spose to be studying no twitting'
n she was like , 'hold the phone, are you on twitter?'
n I was like, 'heavens no!'
N she asked why
So I began to elaborate on how I thot it was just a waste of time and silly and not as fun as ppl make it out to be
Little did I know that as I was huffing and puffing she was signing me up for twitter.
When I was done, she scribbled a word on a sheet of paper n I was like 'what is this?'
n she shrugged and replied, 'ur password.'
HA ha ha, i laffed, and said 'no point, I'll never log on'
But to my shame and horror curiosity got the better of me and I logged on, just to see
Just to see
Sob
N now( about 52 hrs later , i have made over a 100 tweets)
Sob
Facebook has lost its shine, I actually want to tweet...
Sob, somebody help me!

TWITTER BE CURSED!!!
Oh by the way, if ur on twitter just leave ur name n ima find u!

Valentine's Day Massacre

Everything's in red!
Hearts and cupids, flowers and pretty pretty things everywhere!
I feel like this is one of those 'Scribbles' moment meets a Nigerian movie commercial
I'm beginning to get tired of the fanfare and noise attached to this day even
Pathetic more is the fact that I have to be at work on that good day.
And I absolutely refuse to write anything romantic this year!!
Every year, I get an influx of mails, people asking me to express their love for them in poetry but every year I never write a poem for my special someone, cus one way or the other I end up single on valentines(and I blame you poem sucking lovers!!), and I have no problem helping people express their love in words, but this year, I'm On Strike! and it feels good, so there you go, if you're in love listen to D'bangs 'Fall in love' and scribble the lyrics down!
Frealz tho
It is my sincere intention to reveal to you, the realities of Valentines day
I don't think Valentines is an evil, I think the commercialization of a beautiful occasion is the evil.
I think its a necessary day to celebrate love, and I'm tired of people saying, well why cant we celebrate our love everyday, psffff!people who say that are either broke, or fear rejection!
I think its important that every couple have a valentines day, not necessarily the 14th, but one day, or days in the year, where you BOTH decide that you are going to be over the top, loving and affectionate(not like you don't already do this, but who are we fooling, with school, work, kids, somehow if that date isn't already preset, you'll never have time for each other.)
But as the world has made a big deal about the 14, then its world love day!
Like world aids day or mother's day, you cant really choose not to participate, you'll just look bad.
And how about the guys?
Am I the only one that doesnt understand why a guy is a jerk if he doesnt go all out, perfumes and candy, poetry and expensive dinners?
Like its not fair, I dont know any store promoting an item for him, unless guys started cuddling ginormous teddy bears and they didnt tell me....no one is promoting the concept of 'him' and the few that do, sell pathetic, tired looking shirts and ties that clearly say, 'ok, ok, just so you wouldn't nag her that you spent so much money, here's a lil sm'
SO what are you up to this valentines?
I want to do something quiet, endlessly romantic, fun, special, and did I say quiet.
I think its the quiet stuff that makes it special, at least for me
DISCLAIMER***: This doesn't mean that if you have gone all out to get me the chocolates and flowers and things that you shouldn't bring it on one knee with a boys to men song playing in the background in a preferably candle lit room(refer to the Keg, Applebees or Red lobster!)
No! I like quiet, but i could do dinner and stuff, that can be worked in!
Just putting it out there!
But I'd much rather a favorite movie of mine or his, even though we've seen it a thousand and one times, and dinner, maybe a poem in there, maybe
Do you know that poetry written by 'non-poets' are the cutest things ever!
Only because its very sincere and honest and lacks all the unnecessary frills poets put on things like 'hips like the dunes of the Sahara' or 'voice like the Nile'..
lol
Lemme know what you guys think..
what are you planning to do this valentines, whats on your wish list?
Do you believe in the Vals day massacre?
Tell Tell!!

Playing wiv Fire

I'm playing with Fire and I cant stop
I see the flames but its kinda fun!
You know how you strike a match and watch it burn to the tip and quickly shake your hand before it gets to the tip of your fingers?
But has it ever happened that you got so caught up in watching the flames burn that you forgot the plan and it burnt the tip of your finger?
Thats where we are stuck
Having so much fun watching it burn that it just might get to the tip of our fingers before we realize
Listen now!
Not the fire that dances back, giggling as you slide your fingers through it from left to right
Yes, Candle light reciprocates love, yes
you make like a cave with your hands and watch it dance around
with your fingers you sentence it to death
but still this meek, playful candle can turn Judas on you
leave it unwatched, unmonitored and the once playful flames roar up like lions and consume all that you have, maybe you too.
We are playing with fire and we know it!
Tipping dangerously to the edge of the rim
I advice that we stop now, before it consumes us!!!
My patience with Nigeria is beginning to wear
President is missing, is he dead?
We dont know?
How is it possible that we have a president so ill in the first place? Dont they do health checks and things?
Its embarrassing
Nigeria is playing with fire and i wish she'd stop
Theres an extent to how much our neighbourhood, Africa can tolerate or even the rest of the world
President is issuing a statement to BBC when AIT and NTA have not seen his break lights?
Senators are in the news, naked in shrines holding human heads
COMMON NOW!
I'm not sm1 to nag or complain i dont like it, but I'm tired!
Banks in confused state, can you imagine this
A bank exec steals money and runs away, but then the police arrest the poor ppl that worked under him, sayin, 'when he returns with the money, we'll release you'
Thats not fair, but its the system
Governors stashing up their accounts while their state suffers, no education, no amenities, no defence.
My friend always says Nigeria has been molested raped and beaten up
She's in a bad bad bad marriage and even if she got divorced today it would take years of therapy to get her sanity back.
I'm tired of making jokes about the legal system, education, amenities....
Nigeria is playing with fire and I wish she'd stop
Only now did ppl begin to trust her, maybe she's not all 419 after all and e-mail scams
Oh but what happens
Some goat head goes to stash knock out in his underwear!
Now they've added terrorist to her already long list of names
I wish she'd stop
I keep fighting for her, but I'm beginnig to doubt that she wants that
Dehumanizing experiences i face whenever I want to travel, and can I complain?
I wish she'd stop
Religious riots in Jos....
EFCC files Waziri lost
Oil money lost to Oversea Accounts
I wish she'd stop so future generations can have a chance

2010 Only Just started................

So here I am.......
typing up my first post for the year, when i get a phone call that I have been honored on a blog
Can u imagine that?
lil ol me!
which brings me to say :But I only Just started!
I made a copy of the blog only because of this semi-anonymity game that I'm still playing
2010 only just started and I LOVE IT
I made the decision to move the character in my novel to an imaginary town....whoever said writing about what you know is easy, LIED,
The performances for the charity event that I'm organising are awesome!!AWESOME
all but the weather actually in my life.....is AWESOME
I'm excited for the year...and this time I made no resolutions!
Following last year, I made no resolutions, but detailed plans as to how I'd like to accomplish my goals for the year n that worked out beyond my expectations
k...so here's a summary of the story ttyl!!!

"(MMR) is one of the most gifted African Speakers & Writers of our generation.
This ** year old(smile) is a native of Ogun State, Nigeria; and an Undergraduate Student of Marketing of the U of W.
Dont be deceived by her petite stature, (which is probably & literally the smallest thing about her), she is a very friendly, highly opinionated young Lady. Also a trailblazer, high achiever and go-getter.
To her nothing is impossible. Right from middle and high school in VFMC, she was the first & only Day Student Senior Perfect; and an outstanding Scholar.
She is presently the President of The U of W's African Union, and recently dubbed the title of Competent Communicator (CC) by Toastmasters International."
