All wrapped up in my favorite rubber !

Let's take the road before us and sing a chorus.. or two

Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

We'll frolick and play, the eskimo way

In our winter wonderland

Leave the neighbors seeking answers..

"Do you hear what I hear?"

As we deck the halls will all sorts of holly

Fa La La La La La La La La La !!

It's beginning to look a lot like christmas now, init?

'Oboshie, aden wo expecte something different anaa?'..

Don't mind me, I'm just an inappropriate heediot.. tomorrow, tomorrow, i'll write something worth reading.

Green Green Grasses, Kweku Ananse Story

I have given up on grasses green

For never have I experienced it first hand

For i have always been just okay

Only been just ordinary
Greener pastures? Hear-say! Hear-say, I say!

I have given up on grasses green

Because clearly, I was born in a desert

I am just a grain of sand blending in

With no hope of ever seeing a lawn

I am always just okay

You see, some of us were never meant to see green

Seems my life got the memo, Keep off the grass!!

That some feet are made for walking on pavements

And so they walk till they tire

Then they stray unto the street, not the grass

And God forbid that they get knocked over

By a passing bus or truck, heck, even a bicycle

Noooo, definitely not a Limo

Noooo, that would be too cool

For those to whom green is just a tale

Happy Cyber Monday!!

I wrote this on Thanksgiving day, can you imagine? But I didn't want to post it, cos I felt like it might be a little inappropriate for the occasion.

You Paint Me

Cos you have a sweet sinful smile. I'm in trouble. Cos you turn me upside down and around and around


There's color in my cheeks

Eeeek!!! There it is again

Creeping slowly and spreading

Spreading all over

I'm all red, I'm all hot

Every single inch of me

Burns for you

Certainly, I've got the hots for you

Suddenly, I want to be good for you

All the darkness, all the black, out the window

Because I want to be pure, white as snow, for you

Because you make me yellow as the sun

Yellow as the sun, I say

And occasionally you make me green

Green, and a different kinda red

When you turn on your charm, for anyone but me

And when that happens, when that happens

Insecurities creep in, and all is grey

And I wonder when that day will come

When you will paint me blue

Just like everyone else who has been here

Only for the next stranger to ask, yet again

Honey, is blue your favorite color?

Only for me to reply..

'No, No, No.. It's the painters' favorite!!'

                                                                         S.H.E.L.S

I see how things can turn red, yellow, green, white whatever, but when ish hits the fan, and you become blue, dun ever turn black .. bitterness can eat your soul, dun let it. Toodles guyyys!!

For You, You've turned me yellow jello. lol

Baggage

Baggage baggage baggage

Don't we all travel with them?

Even if its simply hand-baggage

Who would you be without it?

Ever wondered? I certainly have

Heck, sometimes you just sigh

Cos you have so much baggage

You even have to pay extra

Just to keep holding on to it

Yet without it, You'd be saving a lot

And traveling a whole lot lighter

Yet there are some things that we keep

Things that only hold us down

Why? Just so that occasionally we can do what?

Go through all the old 'stuff'

Attempt to wear them, use them, admire them?

Watch them with contempt? Spit on them?

Pack and re-pack, yet throwing nothing away

Like a compulsive hoarder

You hold on to that which you will never need

Like a masochist

You hold on to that which hurts

So what? There was a iceberg, that seemed so small at first

Yet it was so big it destroyed your mighty ship

And down you went sliding into the dark cold waters

Now you use your suitcase as some sort of raft

Holding on, waiting for someone to save you

If only you could let go, then you could swim to the shore

Look! Its only half a mile away, you can do it!

Papa taught you how to swim, remember?

Before the water gets too cold

Before you freeze to death

You and your baggage

'RIP to the girl you used to know. Her days are over ... you say you got baggage, well I'm packed too.' Drake

The Bullish Recovery

I really had no plans

Whatever, whenever was fine with me

I had no investment plan

Long-term goals, short-term, no idea

Now somehow I find myself in a bind

I am buying into an idea

I seem to have found the perfect bond

And it is not some sub-prime junk

And the only rating that matters is mine

No speculation necessary to leave me moody

Because its more than just a hunch

Mr. Top-Notch-Ass has proven himself an Asset

The kind you keep in your portfolio

The bullish type that kicks all your other options out

The type that makes itself available to only you

And asks that you take the risk and invest in only One

The Key

The Heart

The Promise

The return

Dividends

Over Time

~ Hi folks!!


To You, thanks for the much needed mental stimulation.

Feel Better

If I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better 

Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all

If I tell you I want to make you smile
If I tell you I want to sooth ur pain

If I tell you I want to calm your fears
Would you let me close enough to do so
Would you let me kiss you where it hurts

And where do I kiss? Where does it hurt?

Your hands, Your neck, Your lips or Your tears

Born like sisters to this world
In a town where blood ties are only blood
If you never say your name out loud to anyone
They can never ever call you by it

If i had that penny worth more than precious stones

The one that could pay for your thoughts

Would you tell me what you were thinking
Would you let me into that private space
If I told you I would understand
Would you pretend that you cannot hear?
Would you pretend that I am not here?

You're getting sadder, getting sadder

Getting sadder, getting sadder
And I don't understand

And I don't understand 

No matter the degrees of separation
I can still feel your pain
I see the tears you try so hard to hide
The silence echos louder than you think
You hide in your own world, lose yourself in deep thought
Because you were placed in a scary, selfish, arrogant world
Now you feel invisible, ordinary .. nothing .. dead

But if I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all


Will you show me where it hurts?
And will I just be kissing the surface?
Will I have to get inside of you?
Will I have to kiss your thoughts?
Will I have to kiss your dreams?
Will I have to kiss your heart?
Do I have the permanent fix?

Anything at all
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all... 

If it hurts all over, then I'm all over you
If it hurts in those dark, uncharted parts of you
Those not-particularly-scenic parts of you
Those almost-totally-unheard-of parts of you
The parts I'm eager to know .. and explore
The trail that runs deep into your thoughts, your soul
In that little corner of your heart, I want to plant a kiss


But if I kiss you where it's sore ..


Let me
Let's see

Get Well Soon

Feel Better

#1 Inspiration: 'Better' by Regina Spektor. I love her. (The words in black are her lyrics, the rest are mine)

#2 Inspiration: Conversations I've had over the past few days, things I see around me, stories.. and mostly my imagination.

For You :) Hope you like it. Begin To Hope.

Trick or Treat

I admit I have a sweet tooth

And you're unbelievably sweet

I have a soft spot for you

And its not just because you are eye candy

I'd hate to think you're all about looks

I'd like to think you taste good as well

I guess I'll find out at the end of October

If you're a trick

Or a treat

Lolol.. People have just been giving me pressure to blog.. sigh, i'm uninspired.. so I start chatting rubbish.

For you, 'trick or treat'..lmaaaooo, because you asked.

Blindness : The Dark

Blindness:

Loss or absence of the ability to perceive visual images

It's right in front of you!!

Why can't you see??!!

They kept screaming at her

Thinking she most certainly must be a moron

For there is no other logical explanation

For no one can possibly be that blind

.. That naive, that trusting, that deluded

Stupid, Fool, Idiot

I'm scared of the dark

I hate being the blind one

Groping for that which I cannot see

Throwing darts in the dark

And wishing on a star that I do not miss

So I avoid the unknown

Yet we live in a world of the unknown

And we are all blind, or atleast a little bit

Sometimes we have to grope around in the dark

Other times we just have to throw the darts and wish..

You cannot avoid the unknown if you live in it

You just need to make sure you are not alone in the dark

Everyone has people who care about them

Realizing you were never alone.. Knowing the people who truly care
Gives you a head start

Some people can't see at all

Some see only what they want to see

Some see what they have been avoiding

Some see what has been there all along

And some just count themselves lucky

Because they can see clearly now

With a little help from their other four senses

In this strange, dark world

Perceive:

To become aware of, know or identify by means of the senses

Defn: Dictionary.com

You were never alone, just listen through the silence, you'll hear someone else breathing, someone else whispering, someone else listening, someone else moving, someone else sniffing ..

Beat without Bass

What's a beat without bass

And what's a song without a beat

What's love-making without a climax

And what's a climax without a plot

What's a video game without Player 2

And what's a player without the game

What's college without a fraternity

And what's a fraternity without parties

What's consumer spending without credit

And what's a market without the consumer

What's a sonnet without the rhyme scheme

And what's a poem without a theme

I'm not saying I'm nothing without you

I'm saying with you I'm all that


... and so much more

No one gets out alive anyway

"Never take life too seriously. No one gets out alive anyway."

Something broke
Something that can never be fixed

Something was stolen
Something that will never be returned

Something left

Something that will never come back

Something haunts
Something that needs to rest

And there is someone somewhere
Desperately trying to believe in a fair world

And the universe heaves a huge sigh
For the world and its inhabitants..
.. Never played fair


~ Just a few things i've been discussing..
If you kill, must you be killed? Is that fair? What are the religious implications? social implications?
Taking some1s life is a big deal though, and I think it is punishable by death. Why should you live when you deprived someone of life? What is your excuse, seriously? Bad upbringing? poverty?  But how does a murderer's death affect his/her innocent family members? Is it really alright for the victim's family to scream for blood? It gets complicated easily, doesn't it? I don't have the answers, but killing someone is a big deal, when its intentional.

Something There

There's something sweet and almost kind 

But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined 

But now he's dear and so unsure 

I wonder why I didn't see it there before 

Oh so unkind, just not my kind

That's what I thought

Then something changed

Perhaps it was there all along

And now its cute, well I think so

And now he's sweet, and quite a mess

Whenever we're together he tries to be refined

Its quite funny actually,well I think so

Yet I do more than laugh when he glances at me

She glanced this way, I thought I saw 

And when we touched she didn't shutter at my paw 

No it can't be, I'll just ignore 

But then she's never looked at me that way before 

I don't know what it is about her

Maybe she sees right through me

I get confused, whenever she's near

And for some reason, I no longer can be mean

And for some reason, all I want her to see is me

I should run while I can still feel my legs

But warning signs, we both ignore

Insanity! Oh she does the strangest things to me

And when she looks at me, caution leaves with the wind

New and a bit alarming 

Who'd have ever thought that this could be? 

True that he's no Prince Charming 

But there's something in him that I simply didn't see 

Well, who would have guessed?

We must be nuts

We did not bargain for this

What were we thinking?

No, it can't be!

We'll just ignore

Its so peculiar

There may be something there..

That wasn't there before

Perhaps there's something there..

That was simply hidden

Perhaps we're sane after all

Because there's something there that wasn't there before

                                                                                     s.h.e.l.s.

Perspectives and Perceptions

Photo credit: I found it on flicker, by Lauri Ward. I really like it, thought I'd share it. Somehow it inspired me to write this post for 3 of my friends celebrating their birthdays today.

I've seen it all

All that was meant to stay in the dark

And all that was brought to light

I've seen it all

I've been the silent observer

I've been the one who spoke when no one else could

Sometimes I'm blunt, other times I'm politically correct

I've said it all

I've been there

I've done that

I've felt it all

The pain

The sadness

The hurt

The joy

The euphoria

The passion

I've felt it all

The fights

The drama

The complications

The celebrations

The break-ups

The make-ups

I've definitely seen my fair share

I peer at the world with these eyes of mine

And I take each day as it comes

Knowing that sometimes not everything I see looks good

There's the good, the bad and the ugly

And I've seen it all

But with these two eyes

I have control over my perspective

And my perspective affects my perception

And my perception affects my perspective

So I stay positive

Knowing that there's beauty in every ugly

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LOVES!

W.M. Coleman, K. Adoo, N. Nettey (dang! thats a lot for one day)

Life is a beach, bitchessss!!! 

Friends don't always get along, they don't always agree with each other, and they can down right just piss you off, but one thing is a constant-- their friendship. Friends can give each other crap, but they never treat each other like crap (sheeeee...flow me, flow me... i gAt lyrics..lmao, i'm just a fool chale)

Not with a Fizzle, But with a Bang ! :D

You give me the warm fuzzies

And then you give me hot flashes

You give me butterflies in my tummy

And then a funky feeling in my groin

You give me electricity

And then you give me fire

You give me a lot

But most importantly

You give me You

And we create poetry

You, the skillful poet

Me, the beautiful poem

You write me

And you re-write me

Over and over again

Each time, something new

Each time, something special

Each time, something real

You give me a lot

But most importantly

You give me You

All of you, you give me

I'm officially smitten

Officially and unconditionally

So I'm officially yours

On the record

Its me and you

Jason Mraz- Life Is Wonderful

So since i've been so lazy and uninspired, I decided to share the lyrics of one my fav Jason Mraz songs with you... enjoy :) I love me some Mraz.

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain

Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is meaningful
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle

The learning Disorder

Apparently one should learn from their mistakes

Well then we must have a serious learning disorder

Because we keep making the same mistakes over and over again

But can anyone really blame us?

If some of our mistakes come in different shapes and forms

Every time we think: different scenario, different circumstances

But wait! Different scenario, different circumstances, Same Fool!

Like some sort of cosmic joke, and the gods are against us

The truth so often evades us, and the 'aha!' moment comes too late

Suddenly we see the truth, that perhaps we had once known

The truth, that perhaps we chose to forget

We suddenly realise...

We should have tried harder

We should have pushed forward

We should have backed down

We should have said something

We should have said nothing

We should have prayed

We should have stayed home

We should have helped

We should have saved

We should have mended that broken relationship

We should have overcome our learning disorder

But we did not... and the cycle goes on

Different scenario, different circumstances

Same old retard

~ Inspiration: I was telling a friend about the different ways i've spent money this summer, and how i'm going to save...and then i was like...oh but i want to do this and that and that...and then I realised, I would always have something (something that's not always smart) to use my money for... meanwhile i hate being broke oh. lol..i'm like a retard, i never learn. We then had a group convo about how people sometimes just don't want to learn. We keep making the same mistakes, just in a diff manner/fashion. It progresses from the very minute things to the really grave/ epic situations, shenanigans and conundrums we concern ourselves with.

When your world falls apart..

Sometimes your world simply comes undone

And everything seems to fall apart

Sometimes it seems like no one cares and no one sees

And everyone goes on doing their business

Sometimes that just makes things worse

And you feel alone though you are surrounded by friends

Sometimes it seems you have made wrong decisions

And your mistakes and miscalculations hurt the ones you love

Sometimes you realise you are not perfect

And you really cannot be that perfect person

Sometimes your dreams simply comes undone

And you are afraid you may be walking on the boulevard of broken dreams

Sometimes the unexpected hits so hard and uncertainty takes over

And your future, your life, your dreams, the ones you love 

Sometimes life gets so complicated, so depressing, so annoying

In times like these there's only one thing to remember

That though you may not know what the future holds

You do know who holds the future

And that is all you will ever need

It is all you will ever need to know

For my friend, I love you mucho.

Just a little pick me up for my readers. Enjoy.

8 Hours of Foreplay

I just had 8 hours of foreplay

With someone I never found attractive

Text messages back and forth

A phone call here and there

Facebook messages

And a video call on skype

I just had 8 hours of foreplay

I just had 8 hours of mind sex

And now I'm trying to fall asleep

.... but I can't

There is such a thing as mental foreplay, and it doesn't always have much to do with flirting. 

Lost Your HEAD??! :D

I was traveling from DC to Philly and was listening to Shaggy's 'Hot Shot' album. I really like that album, bdw. Anyway, I was listening to his song 'Not Fair' ft. Rude, and I just started laughing. I guess I never really paid great attention to the lyrics when I was a kid, lol, well Thank God, I'm sure I would have been disturbed. Anyhu, I got inspired to write a lil sum'n sum'n about the law of reciprocity ;). Excuse my French, will you? I really tried to stay politically correct blah blah.. I really tried, trust me it could have been worse..so dun judge me its all fun and games :D

Boy what have you done for me?
I’ve been going down on you
You not going down on me 

                       (RUDE)

Girl that’s how a rude boy plays 

I don’t have to take you there 

I can please you in other ways 

Across the hall neighbors hear the sound 

Mr. lover Lover in town 

Carpet burns from being on the ground 

Rudy have hot gal a' moan and groan  

"Baby don’t stop""Yeah you like that Simone" 

Champion lover the best pound for pound 

Take you to the clouds without going downtown
(Shaggy)

You do me, I do you

Or is that not how it goes?

You may be some sort of god

Some sort of god between the sheets

And you do take me there

Not every single time

And yes I fake it every now and then

Ya, moaning and groaning-- mmhmm, not hard to fake

Champion lover, the best pound for pound, sure

But dude I think its time for something new

:D

Why? why don’t you just change your ways?
Won’t you open up your mind
Boy we’re living in modern days
                                (RUDE)                                                                             Girl I’m coming from the school

Where if you want the job done right

You have to used the proper tool

You never been love until you’ve been filled

Filled full of pleasure from a rude boy's skill

Passion and ecstasy you know the drill

Full up your cup till your juices spill

Leave the door open just for the thrill

Now we’re at the point where you can’t keep still

Covered in sweat but feeling the chill

That’s the effect of a lover man’s pill

Tell me why you want to tease me

don’t you want to please me

Why you holding back when I know what’s on you mind

(Shaggy)

You do me, I do you 

Or is that not how it goes?

And I don't think you quite get it

Though it really shouldn't be that hard to get

Its not the same feeling, not the same high

So until you learn the law of reciprocity

And get off your strict vegetarian diet

You'll be the pied piper of your own pipe

For you don't do me, I certainly do not do you

We'll both stick to the 'basics' then, shall we?

But dude I'd really love for you to try something new

:D

Hope that gave you a laugh, or atleast made you smile..ok, or shake your head.lol. But yeah, I do have a point, or? Oh and without going into too much detail, may I also add that cleanliness is next to godliness (I'm sure you've heard adults say that so many times), yeah it applies to personal hygiene as well, no one wants to be a fisherman catching ..ermm, what? dead fish? lol..oh and i'd assume that anyone would rather clean a dirty pipe with anything other than their mouth. ok, i'm done here...and yes, shoot me if you want to, I totally just said it. lol
