Music, Lyrics And Everything Else......


My best friend told me that break- up songs are the best songs in the world.

Believe me, he is right.

I guess it’s the fact that we can identify with the words and emotions of the singer.Well, I’m assuming only those of us with 1st hand experience agree with me.

Meanwhile being able to indulge in music while working rocks!

Lately I find myself listening to the words (Well, Googling the lyrics to most of them * smiley with a big grin*) and loving the logic behind some of the songs.

Take for instance Jay-z’s “Off that” from The Blue Print 3.

Jay raps about "your tomorrow being his yesterday"

I'm so tomorrow,
The Audemars are yesterday,
Which means you’re on time delay,
So even if I slow it doooown,
My sound is fast forward

(Uhm, Audemars makes watches...get the time delay logic?)

Meaning ……. “Whatever you’re about to discover we off that” And “you can’t bring the future back

I like a guy who has confidence in his achievements.

Mariah’s lyrics in “Up out my Face” cracks me up!

She sings about her breaking and giving the guy the boot.

“It's not chipped

We’re not cracked

Oh, we're shattered………..

It gets bad.

“Cause when I break, I break, I break

And no super glue can fix this”(huh?)

Then it gets worse

“When I break, I break, I break

Not even a welder and a builder could rebuild this

When I break, I break, I break

Not even a nail technician with a whole lot of gel and acrylic

Can fix this”- (LOL)

Then this…

“When I break, I break

If we were two Lego blocks

Even the Harvard University graduating class of 2010

Couldn’t put us back together again”- (Ouch!)

Totally hilarious, and I must say this song has grown on me.



Ever wonder what kids get up to these days?

A two year old child who was rated the slowest in development amongst his peers turned out to be the first child to make a 3 word sentence to his nursery teacher.

Go away…….Bitch

I know right.


Three weeks ago my 12 year old cousin poured water into the oil compartment of their generator.

Last week she dimmed it fit to find herself in her dad’s car cooling off, no thanks to the current heat situation in Lagos.

A few minutes later, there was no wall between their house and their neighbours .

She said “The car jumped”

I wonder how an automatic car jumps.


Yesterday, her sister misplaced the keys to their mum’s car

It was found in the freezer.

*Rolls Eyes*

That's what kids have been up too.


Have a Fab week People.....Hopefully some of us have only four working days this week.

Woo Hoo!

~A Little Light Is all I Need~




So this post started out on an entirely different note. In fact it was going to be a copy and paste post (Which I will do, another day), but that’s out the window now, thanks to the song that I’m currently listening to. On repeat.

LOVE

A word that comes and goes

But few people really know

What it means to Love Somebody

LOVE

Though the tears may fade away

I’m so glad your Love will Stay

‘cos I love you.

And you showed me Jesus

“What it really means to Love”

It gets deeper.

The nights that I’ve cried you Love me

When I should have died you Love me

I’ll Never know why you love me

(But I’m grateful Jesus)

When all hope is gone you Love me

You gave me a song that you Love me.

Now I can go on, ‘cos you Love me


And Now I know what it really means to LOVE.


Music and the events in one’s life. I remember Crying and trembling while singing this song at the top of my voice repeatedly in the bathroom after a huge fight with my ex. He had hit me- and of course the only person I turned in the bathroom was Jesus. I told myself love wasn’t outside the bathroom door- It was in me, Through Jesus. I didn’t need his fake love. *hissss

So I’ve been moody in the last two days, coupled with the fact that I’m having my allergy on another level.

But tomorrow is Friday.

And with some light from Kirk and Angie.

I say "Damn the mood!"

My Sunshine has come and there’s No more rain in my clouds, ‘’cos I’m all cried out!- Go Angie!

In My Head.....


Driving behind a bus with a sticker that says


"EDITIOR WANTED?........For your books, Magazines, Newspaper. Call......"

Yah......And you can't spell editor.
I hope people I know never come across anything you have to edit.

Caught up with an old pal on IM.
He freaked me out.
He'd like to marry me.
Ummmh......dude I've known you for 8years.
Where on earth did that come from?


I got a suprise on sunday.
The Mister got me a sexy gadget.
I'm about to become a CrackB addict.

Perfect Birthday gift if you ask me.
But my birthday is not until another 10days.
Now I'm excited!

I've always wondered why they say "For better or for worse"
Not anymore.

My ex called.

He went to pay for his girlfriend's engagement ring.
But he broke down.
Says the ring was for the wrong girl.
It's a tad bit late now...........I'm gone.

I'm ready for change.......

I'm not Scared anymore.......

Music is indeed good medicince for your soul.

Listening to:

"Let's stay together, Loving you whether, the
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
"
                                                                - Al Green 

Shona, Funms, Kookie and Ms Jayla put me in the zone..........

Tweet Friday Girls!

Suga J & B......


*Random (Song(s)) Post

Phewww!

The real world is trying to suck me in, trying to steal my Mojo, Never............I Defy it!

 People are All the same

And we only get judged by what we do

                                                                                                                       ~Sugababes

Work has been crazy, and life crazier. Suffered a serious case of insomnia last night.....

So bad, I did the dishes at 1:50 am, cleaned the kitchen- ipod in ear, washed  random things, arranged clothes, picked out my outfit for work.....went back to bed and still no sleep.......Ipod still plugged in and the time is now 4:38am, Lying down- music drowning my soul. I would have to get up for work at 6:10am.......It's amazing the songs you connect with at such odd hours- And why does the Ipod skip the everyday songs at this time of the night?

So Just like a Pill- by Pink begins to play........

I haven't moved from the spot where you left me
This must be a bad trip
All of the other pills, they were different
Maybe I should get some help

I can't stay on your life support, there's a
shortage in the switch,
I can't stay on your morphine, cause its making me
itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again but shes
being a little bitch,
I think I'll get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Stead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me
ill
                                                                       
~Pink


This song has my ex written all over it. Last week was his birthday, and Nope I didn't play Miss Nice. No phone call, No text and No email. I'm Not on FaceBook and neither is he so scratch that too.

Life is really funny and strange.........you share the world with someone for as long as 6 years, you think the world revolves around only the two of you, and then a couple of months down the line, you don't even have the person's phone number.

You move on...........And find out there's another world out there, way better than what you had.

I have a hard time understanding some things in life, it has to do with the human race and how the think or process right from wrong, or even worse, how they don't have a line separating right from wrong knowing fully well that every action they take affects the next person.

The fact that my lines are clear doesn't mean others should have clear lines, right?- Wrong.

B finds her way through my earphones and steals my heart with this song, since sleep has refuse to find me.

Me myself and i
That's all i got in the end
That's what i found out 
And it ain't no need to cry
I took a vow that from now on

I'm gonna be my own best friend

Me myself and i
I know that i will never disappoint myself
I must have cried a thousand times
All the ladies if you feel me
Help me sing it now
I can't regret all the times spent with you
you hurt me
But i learned a lot along the way
After all the rain
You'll see the sun come out again
I know that i will never disappoint myself

                                                          ~Beyonce

At the end of the day, we only have ourselves. Our happiness lies in our own hands, Don't expect someone else to make you happy. (Married folks are exempted.......I think*)
