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!

Script My Life: Unhealthy Relationship Tropes & Takeaways

Let art offer you introsp ect and choose a different imitation of life! Honestly, I wanted to 'sing my life' with Summer Walker's, 'Still not over it." For those who understand my eclectic. For the ladies of R&B, I love Kehlani, Teyana Taylor, Jhené Aiko, SZA, Queen Naija, and Summer Walker. Summer is a whole lot of mess, but hella talented. Her music speaks to my millennial soul. But I watched "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" with my sisters. Have you ever had a group of black women watch and assess a movie? As Amanda Seales once said, it's giving you an interactive experience. So many views on the plot. Honestly, though, I really need new flicks to watch! I had an "aha!" moment and decided to dig through my flicks. And due to my constant frustration with certain characters, here are the unhealthy relationship tropes and takeaways from each watch. Helen in a Diary of a Mad Black Woman Of course, this was the top of my list. Have I ever ment...

Are You Miss Bare Minimum?

You are worth the ICE! Intention. Commitment. Effort. Y'all, this is my proof of life. It's been a minute. It's been a tumultuous season, and I guess that I'm not the only one. I am glad though, that I am here to pour out and into you. You've always understood me. And then P!nk's 'Mizunderstood' becomes a backtrack to this conversation. But that's a conversation for another day. A nous allez! Bonjour, bonjour mes amies! Comment allez-vous? I'm taking it one day at a time. Picture this: you’re on a date, and instead of engaging in conversation, your date is glued to his phone, replying to texts that are definitely not from you. Or maybe he’s the ‘textationship’ king, flooding your screen with emojis but never making time for an actual face-to-face meeting. Now this is a good one, he's the convenience pro who gets to see you and spend time with you within his vicinity, and not outside his capacity. Now what do we call that *taps head thinking*...

Script My Life: Jane, Jane, Carrie!

Some stories are best watched as they play out... Ever watched a movie or TV series and relate to a character? How many parts of the plot line would you have loved to be part of your life? Filmmakers have managed to tap into our subconscious to draw emotions towards their films. There are certain characters that have become memorable with fans. We often quote them, use film analogies to explain real life and even play out the plot ourselves. Relating film to real life has become a common feature on this blog. We called it Script My Life, of which many of you are a fan of. To date the most viewed posts are the 'SML' for 'Madea's Family Reunion' and 'Why Did I Get Married?'. All I can say is thank you. We continue to bridge screenplays to our real lives today. Television series often bring various storylines in different genres. When I was young, I had an obsession with medical/hospital drama. Teen dramas became my thing during my early 20s. Remember...

MTV VMA Review: Missy Elliott, Supa Dupa Fly!

Yaaaas queen! Joy overwhelmed me by just watching Missy Elliott's MTV VMA performance. It's been 16 years since Missy last performed at the VMAs. That year, Missy was joined by Nelly Furtado and Timbaland, as they proved to us what genius looks like. Missy opened her performance with her latest single, "Throw It Back" before throwing fans back to her hits from yesteryear. She performed a medley that included 'The Rain', 'Get Ur Freak On', 'One Minute Man', 'Pass that Dutch' and 'Lose Control'. With each performance the 4-time Grammy winner invoked looks from each music video. She also reunited with dancer, actress and singer, Alyson Stoner, who remains a superb dancer. For those who aren't in the know, Alyson started dancing for Missy when she was a little girl. She became a staple in most of Missy's music videos. In 2015, Alyson paid tribute to the legend with a viral video of Missy's greatest hits. Missy...

The Slow Burn

Stop trying to control everything and start experiencing the slow burn. Hello, single ladies! Comment ça va mes amies? "Je suis bien! Gather around; today we are having coffee and tea. I'll get my dose of caffeine as usual. I'm so inspired by the previous article. The inspiration came from the last few paragraphs, where I wrote about the slow burn. I remember the movie, "I Want You Back." The character Emma tells Peter that he's attractive, and she would date him, despite the fact that he is a slow burner. And then Kacey Musgraves' "Slow Burn" starts playing in my head. ("I'm alright with a slow burn"). As I decided to rewrite the scripts for my "love story," the last part challenged me. Do you remember what Kat Valdez said in "Marry Me"? If you want something different, you have to do something different. So, you make a different decision. I thought long and hard about that statement. I believe that I'm ...
