Conversations...

“I have the deepest affection for intellectual conversations. The ability to just sit and talk. About love, about life, about anything, about everything. To sit under the moon with all the time in the world, the full-speed train that is our lives slowing to a crawl. Bound by no obligations, barred by no human limitations. To speak without regret or fear of consequence. To talk for hours about what’s really important in life.”

I remember having countless conversations like this in college... with Trish.. Jack... Jenny and Salman... I haven't had one in quite awhile sighsss....  my brain is sooo yearning for this kind of stimulating conversation... this has to happen... perhaps..this summer... with a glass of wine... outside my balcony... if you are game let me know:)

Cowards

There is this "thing" that dangles beneath the surface of wariness

They are called Cowards depending on the wrath of fallen hearts

They continuously collect Countless demonstrations of leveled thoughts

Collectively binding them to levy you into that world of depression

Scrunched in between opposing dichotomies

Wrinkled beneath fine features

They thrust the very notions of your insecurities

Simultaneously pushing them forward to become your deepest desires

Yet they are seldom followed

Last to realize the power of time

They somehow forget the vigor of the mind :)

One of the reasons I started this blog.... AMAZING MUSIC

When I heard this song. "Where You Are" by my favorite artist Gavin DeGraw from his new album Sweeter,.... my heart was literally touched... an indescribable feeling.. In short.... It took my breath away:) The simplicity and elegance of the lyrics...the candid manner in how he conveyed his emotions and the depth ... .. sigh.. nothing short of brilliant. Hope you all enjoy it:)

Quoting my Ace Boo John... "this is one of those 'good melt your heart songs....'"....Here is the link to the song on his album..its the second to last song...

Soliloquy

TORRID LOVE

Torrid love

Blinded by the lasting darkness

Surrounded by the dual nature of emotions

While chained to the fortress of lies

Gently pushing through the never ending storm

Yet limited in perspective…
The sordid thoughts of a new beginning

Flooded with images of your burned past

Failing presence

Heart wrenching silence

The lost souls of torrid love

THEMES OF LIFE

For the time being your life is centered on this theme

Counterproductive … no counterintuitive…

Fabricated … ultimately turned into self

Classily reclined

Finely finished

Tragedies that behooved you

For the time being your life is centered on this theme

Lost in those experiences

Blinded by those flashing lights

Transient movements

A permanent stay

Glasses broken…

Shattered to reflect parts of the hidden theme

For the time being your life is centered on this them

Confusion amassed with peace

Slightly falling

The inability to expect

Broken promises

Fleeted dreams

For the time being our lives are centered on this theme

Why You're Not Married

I haven't blogged in quite awhile...due to major major transitions in my life.. but that would be another story/blog for another day lol... This article was sent to me by my partner and CEO of "Men of Distinction" our multicultural matchmaking business... (once again another story for a different blog) .. The article is a definite must read.. I can relate to many of the theories proposed in this article of why moi and many other women are not married... I do disagree with some of the writer's points... but for the most part.. she speaks Truth...And of course, If you are one of those women who know or have decided that you never ever want to get married.. then.. I guess this article doesn't apply to you.. however..read it anyway.. you might be enlightened...:)

ENJOY and lemme know what you think...

Thoughts.....

Some people do not understand the concept of just living..the inanity of not being bound by someone else's concept of life.... BUT as a friend once told me… my words… movements…. thoughts… this very sentence I write are inherently norms… rules.. unconscious restrictions… and well… whether I like it or not.. I AM bound by someone else's concept of life… society has annexed MY “supposed free will… my free flowing ideas and made it a norm… or classified it as unusual absurdity…*shrug* whatever the category… my thoughts are not really my own… and I’m a product of this world..or society.. as everyone else is.... SHIT to that… I’ll keep trying to come up with MY concept/way OF LIVING… my “self utopia” … what's the harm in trying:) 

Anywho...I have to share this amazing music…Animal by Mikke Snow... kinda goes with my random thoughts lol… the intro is phenomenal

More Flavour....

yes yes... I know ..I can't, for some reason, get enough of this guy... Here are my top Flavour songs that are currently on 'constant replay' on my ipod... netbook... phone..lol... disregard the words to the songs... you probably won't understand it.. just listen to how he sings in the Igbo language...

Flavour- Orobo (listen to the igbo when it gets to 2:17 of the song... amazingness..)

Flavour- Adamma

Flavour- Ashawo (this song is particularly degrading.. but erm again..the way he sings it in Igbo .. sigh)

my love for Igbo Songs Started with this Song....

I Heart Flavour N'abania... my addiction to songs in the Igbo language started with Osondi Owendi..... .I remember playing this song out and my sister banning it from ever being played in our apartment again.. lol.. :)
