MPV.....my point of view!
Copycat

I recall the time when I got punished during my first week of high school,(form one) for 'copying'.Actually,I was helping a friend draw the Egyptian hieroglyphics for our history homework.(Not such a good idea).Anyway we did our punishment,and my friend and I are still very good friends.

Copying.Something that most of us have probably done,especially in school,with homeworks and assignments.I only did that when I was too lazy to think,(didn't get caught),but I was smart,and preferred to be the author of my own work.Copying is a bad practice. Thou shalt refrain from copying.

People have no respect for "[c]Copyright All Rights Reserved''.I put it on all my work yet I still find other people plagiarizing my stuff,or using,(without my consent),as content for their own work.Seriously??How low can you go?Yes,this is a public forum,but because I have reserved rights to my writing,ne touche pas.(Or at least be decent enough to give me credit for the genius ideas).

There are a lot of 'thieves' in this country.People who steal other people's work.The ones who do not respect that copyright sign.They steal ideas,songs,lyrics,poetry,books,movies etc.Some do not pay for services given towards them,others want freebies,(to be on the guest-list,or jump into shows for free).Cheap!

I am a writer and an artist and I am sick and tired of 'pirates'.(You want to join Jack Sparrow?).People who photocopy original books,burn cds,jump into shows for free,(without the performer's consent),use ideas that are not their own are thieves.(Vanhu vakadaro vanofanirwa kunyara).Y'all removing the authenticity and quality of our work.You are also removing credibility on our career resumes and robbing us of our earnings.This is our livelihood.

Not all of us are cut out to have white collar,or blue collar professions,and wait on an employer to for a wage or salary.So whether it is a local,or international writer,musician,artist,poet,or it is a performance,buy,or pay,i repeat,remove money from your pockets for the original stuff.We get paid by SALES.

I am ORIGINAL.I love to pay for original material.I am not cheap,and unless I am offered a freebie,like being put on another artists guest-list,or VIP,I pay way into a show.

BEWARE OF CHEAP IMITATIONS!

Eldom: Originality is the best quality.

P.S: Always write your own love story.

Ciao!

Single ladies: Wife material

MPV.....my point of view! Single Ladies: Wifen Material *Royal wave*Hey single ladies,your guide is back.The pursuit for Mr Put-A-Ring-On-It is on.Today I would like to make you a get-a-ring-on-it lady. Now following my articles,'Single Ladies Part 3',where I talked about the prince searching for a 'real princess',or 'Queen';and 'Brown Sugar',where the word 'brown sugar' was defined as wifen material,I would like to talk about 'wifey material'.(Whether we are that). How do we single ladies get that ring-on-it,you ask?By being wifey material.My uncle keeps on telling me,'If you want to become Mrs X,you should be a wife.You are a wife before he puts a ring on it'.What he means is that,a man will treat you the way you portray yourself.How,you ask? Ever noticed the difference between a wife and a girlfriend.Now let me break it down for you.A girlfriend usually,takes life in a more leisurely way;unlike a wife,whose focus is mo...

Like A Love Song

The best ever written love song isn't perfect but it works! 'I,I love you like a love song baby,I,I love you like a love song,babe.....',young Selena Gomez singing,and vocalising what we would all take love as...a LOVE song. The love song. Women can only dream about being loved the way Gerald Levert put it,'made to love you', or have 'this love' a la Donell Jones. And I'm not talking about the exaggerated 'catching of grenades','crossing oceans',drinking of lovers' bath waters.But a love that leaves one gasping for air as they try to breathe in,a love that gives one warm fuzzy feelings inside.A love that also stands the test of time,and conquers all. But is the impression we are given by love songs similar to real relationships?Would a man not want to be 'mad' like Ne-yo, or beg you to 'stay' like Tyrese? Some may agree,whilst others would be at the other end of the pole. In the mean time men might find Beyonc...

I Ain't Got My Shit Together

It's okay that I'm not the ideal because I'm a work in progress! I was listening to Brandy's discography and then I resonated with the lyrics to 'Camouflage'. I love the part when she sings, " And God knows I ain't perfect, Tell me who in the world is, All I know is that I'm searching, For somebody to love me with." Yes, then I recall my many arguments with Sagittarius. Always fighting dirty and hitting below the belt. As I have previously highlighted, I asked of him, to step up and meet me halfway. That's what normal people in a relationship do, right? Attempting reverse psychology on me, he would state that I thought of myself as 'perfect'. Whilst I chastised him, not to be condescending, but to make the relationship 'work', but I was the villain. He would be petty and sulk that he's always wrong with me instead of taking responsibility. Sigh! I wish that he chose to understand that I'm far from perfect. I hav...

Before We Lay

“Every father bears a fundamental obligation to do right by their children,” - Barack Obama With the hype and quotes around Michelle Obama’s book, ‘Becoming’, Barack seems to be the ‘ideal man’. Of course he is only human and bound to err, but for purposes of this discussion, his quotes are a point of reference. We live in an age of great access to information whether negative or positive. We are also in a space for more conversation about sexual liberation. In a previous post, I shared about the modern woman owning her sexuality. And I still stand firmly by that stance, because ownership of one’s sexuality also reflects upon other areas of their life. That point was also touched on, when I discussed about celibacy. The point is that we are in charge of what mostly happens in our lives based on our ‘choices’. Part of choice is being responsible and accountable. Responsibility isn’t fun to be honest but it’s necessary especially for maturity. In other parts of our liv...

It’s the Little Things

November is the prelude to the year end, so why not count the things to be grateful for... These days my sister will always be blasting Janet Manyowa’s ‘Grateful’ album. It’s remarkable how timely the album is despite our current challenges in the country. While Americans begin the festive season with ‘Thanksgiving’, I decided to also partake in my own small way. The past few weeks have been tumultuous to say the least. But this thanksgiving I decided to appreciate the least yet best of what I have. A friend of mine shared that ‘a lot can happen in a year’. Initially I didn’t believe him because for a long time I circled around the same place the Israelites in the desert for 40 years. But this year, my fortune changed in all aspects of my life. I was challenged to level up, step out and even grow.  A lot has happened in one year to the extent I have forgotten some things. What I have come to appreciate are the people who have been part of my journey. Gosh, tears f...
