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!

The Red Season: Breadcrumbs of Love

No matter how broken you are, a meal of love is what you need. For the first time in a long time, I will admit on this platform, I will admit that I cried. I felt humiliated and hurt. Mariah Carey's "Cry" is playing in my head. I keep asking myself why am I this person? Why do I keep scraping for crumbs of love? Am I not enough? And following a recent disappointment, I reverted to a quote that I saw on a certain blog. "You could have the best intentions, you could have the most sincere feelings, and you could be a good woman and you still wouldn't be able to keep a man because the only way to keep a man is if that man wants to be kept by you," Sipho Mbhele. "You could have the best intentions, you could have the most sincere feelings, and you could be a good woman and you still wouldn't be able to keep a man because the only way to keep a man is if that man wants to be kept by you," Sipho Mbhele. Gosh, I'm tired of this circus. The fact

5 Inexpensive Dates in a Bad Economy

If he's making the economy an excuse, swipe left.... A guy who makes too many excuses whilst pursuing you is not worth your time. He will make excuses for not making time for you. More so, for not taking you on a date. A real man makes a plan...all the time! Yes, the economy is atrocious...a complete nightmare! Does that mean that humanity stops? Y'all, we have procreation to continue until the end of time. A season of a recession, shouldn't hinder dates, relationships and the whole nine yards that come with that package. Couples over centuries overcame obstacles such as family feuds, classism, racism, tribalism, religious differences etc. They all found a way around those challenges. Any guy who uses 'in this economy' as an excuse is dropped like a pin. Honestly, such an individual lacks ambition and creativity. I want the flowers, chocolate, and the date. Otherwise...skrrr! You will have to show innovation in your pursuit. If you can't be strategic w

The Writings On The Wall

Thou shall move onto the next! And then 'If You Leave' by Destiny's Child and Next starts to play. Gosh, 'The Writings on the Wall' remains my favourite Destiny's Child album, ever. The concept of the '10 commandments' of relationships. Brilliant! Bonjour, mes amies! Comment ça va? Ça va bien! (Caribbean accent) Your gyal , moi , has been experiencing epiphanies. And a few disappointments, but life is too sweet to be upset. Lick your ice cream and have sweet red wine! I travelled through the blogosphere for inspiration for our topic today. Ironically, I also had a discussion with an acquaintance about a similar topic. There's nothing that I love more than people who brag about their intelligence. Oh, my! People pride themselves on their levels of education, often equating it to intelligence. We assess our value based on having degrees, master's degrees, and doctorates. If only those worked in relationships. I think of David Robson's 'W

Chocolate!

Oogling and drooling as I lust after the delicious,yummy chocolate abs of...gush...Trey Songz in a music video. My male friends look at me as if I'm some perverted male...maybe I am. Sadly as a woman such men are just a mirage in a desert full of pot bellied men.Yes,I said it!I believe I speak on behalf of my sisters,who have been termed 'overambitious',and having high standards in the looks department.We would love to see more abs and less flab. Why our brothers keep mount Everests of flesh I fail to understand.Worse still,men boobs that could hold shares in a dairy company. Who would blame me.I become a pervert because Usher's six-pack makes me want to eat of it,or I'm actually envious of Generations' Queen Moroka having 'Muscle man' Lungile,hold her in his arms.Yes,guilty as charged! What my brothers should understand is most women already have stuffed toys,a new addition in the form of a man is not adorable.A little working out w

Dirty Laundry Diaries: Hurts Like a Mother F***er

My humanity will let me hurt as much as I can and be unapologetic for it… I never thought that I would find myself at this place again. Over the past few years, I learnt the word ‘No’ and embraced my power to reject mediocrity. Be it work, life and even romantic relationships. Sigh! I recently found myself breaking almost every rule of every self-help book that I’ve read. Reading is supposed to empower you with knowledge and also help you with making better life choices! Anyway, I recently had to break it off with some guy because of ‘incorrect assumptions’, when will I ever learn? "In my own rule book, CONSISTENCY is very important." In my own rule book, CONSISTENCY is very important. The moment that there is lack of consistency during the dating period or in a relationship it’s, “Off with his head” (In the voice of the queen of hearts). Sic! But what started off well, ended up like the familiar script that I have writing about for a long time. As Whitney
