um...random(?)

Okay... So what to write about? hmm... I know I said I had a lot to talk about/get off my chest. But I haven't got the time to divulge. Got shits, I mean, stuff to do (gotta watch my potty mouth.. i'm starting to cuss too much) and plus I'm not in the mood/disposition to 'bare' my soul, so today i'm just going to 'coast' and write about nothing (too important)

So.... Has anyone seen Erykah Badu's ' Window Seat' video?? Dang that woman has got a booty on her...lol (sue me, i'm an 'ass girl', I am fascinated by and appreciate a good 'dunk' and she's got an awesome one) but seriously though, if you look beyond the nudity and try to get the message that she is trying to communicate, she's actually spot on. People do not readily accept individuality and they tend to adopt popular/conventional thought/belief and take it as it is given, with out taking the time out to think if it actually is right/wrong for them. Most human beings are confined to a box, and seldom exercise their right to thing outside of it.

Don't get me wrong, I think 'Group think', (the topic of the video), can be a good thing... imagine a world in which there were no laws/rules and people were allowed to do as they pleased/thought right... I mean, if everyone was like me (lol) the world would be a MUCH better place, it'd almost be like heaven on earth... But the reality is that there are a lot of twisted, psycho people out there, people whose moral compasses' are screwed and who would more likely than not fuck things up (Hitler/Bin Laden/etc)

People should not conform, they should exercise their creativity in ways that would help, not destroy or damage the world. I have been called a 'rebel' (lol-imagine, lil' ol' me..) because I refuse to do as told/expected (mostly cos i don't see the point/agree..lol.. other times cos i just can't be bothered) But i'm like, it's my life, i should be able to live it how i want, you know, without people judging my every move/decision.... Sure I may fuck up every now and then (okay most of the time..lol) I do appreciate it when people who truly love/care for me call me out on my bullshit- as in I'd probably be more screwed up without y'all.. but at the same time some people are just useless, with hurtful intentions... these people can like to.... yea. lol

So back to the video/song.... I think it takes major balls to strip like that, for real. and i applaud Ms. Badu for that. She's also very talented and shot the video in one shot, no retakes. My only 'qualm' is that she did it in the same place that JFK was like assassinated, and that might have been a tad disrespectful.. but i get it all the same. I love her though, been a fan ever since I can remember, and have you heard the woman speak, like in interviews and such? she really knows her stuff, no surprise her songs actually do say something and make sense..

Anyways, I'm out.. (this post was longer than i had anticipated for it to be).. need to go catch up on sleep now..lol. I will post a video of one of my fav. Badu songs.. 'Bag Lady'... I'm sure I will 'dissect' the song in a later post.. Oh and 'Tyrone' is another good song... Anyways, Enjoy!

*the very sexy 'rebel'*

oao

random... just for laughs...

Okay, I know, I haven't written in a bit... you know the drill, i'm sorry... life happens/happened... blah, blah.. i'm getting tired of my own excuses..*sighs* but oh well.. The real reason this time is that I've been in a mood (what's new, huh?lol) and haven't been assed to put nothing up... It sucks, I know.. But I'm learning to get over myself.. and not take things and people too seriously.. Anyways, I came across this (see below) recently, and it made me smile.. Hope it makes you smile too. :-D

(ps: promise, promise, promise to put something up tomorrow. I promise. Got some stuff on my chest that I gotta let out..hehe.xxx)

Here are some signs that you may not find anywhere else in the world except in Africa.



1. In a restaurant in Zambia:
'Open seven days a week and weekends.'
(May be in Zambia, a week has nine days!)

2. On the grounds of a private school in South Africa:
'No trespassing without permission.'
(Would it still be trespassing then?)

3. On a window of a Nigerian shop:
'Why go elsewhere to be cheated when you can come here?'
(Talk of freedom of choice of where to be cheated from!!!)

4. On a poster in Ghana:
'Are you an adult who cannot read? If so, we can help.'
(And how did they expect the person to read this?)

5. In a hotel in Mozambique:
'Visitors are expected to complain at the office between the hours of 9.00 am and 11.00am daily.'
(No complaint.. I am no whiner!!)

6. On a river in the Democratic Republic of Congo:
'Take note: When this sign is submerged, the river is impassable.'
(My foot!!! I won’t be able to read it when it is under water.)

7. In a Zimbabwean restaurant:
'Customers who find our waitresses rude ought to see the manager.'
(Who has the problem here??)

8. A sign seen on a hand dryer in a Lesotho public toilet:
'Risk of electric shock - Do not activate with wet hands.'
(No comment!!)

9. In a Botswana jewellers shop:
'Ears pierced while you wait..'
(No, I will collect my ears upon returning from the next shop!!!)

10. On one of the buildings of a Sierra Leone hospital:
'Mental Health Prevention Centre.'
(Risky! If mental health were prevented, tell me, would that nation not be full of lunatics??!! !)

11. In a maternity ward of a clinic in Tanzania:
'No children allowed!'
(Where should they be born?)

12. In a cemetery in Uganda:
'Persons are prohibited from picking flowers from any but their
graves'.
(Spooky!!)

13. In a Malawi hotel:
'It is forbidden to steal towels please. If you are not a person to
do such a thing, please don't read this notice.'
(Where in the world is stealing not forbidden?? By the way, I
have already read it though it's none of my business!!)

14. A sign posted in an Algerian tourist camping park:
'It is strictly forbidden on our camping site that people of
different sex, for instance a man and woman, live together
in one tent unless they are married to each other for that
purpose.'
(Some purposes are difficult to comprehend!! )

15. In a Namibian nightclub:
'Ladies are not allowed to have children in the bar.'
(Do men have children?)

16. In a photo studio in Chitungwiza ( Zimbabwe ):
'Photos taken while you wait '
(Ouch!!! Can I leave my face and collect the
photo later?)

Talk of reasoning!
