Crazy Thoughts Penned Down

So, I stalked him and read his writings...



I'm intrigued! Now don't judge me...I think having so much free time on social media led me to curious lane. You know like that Ne-Yo, "I just wonder, do you ever...", but I'm not wondering about being an afterthought. But I won't lie, with good editing, grammar corrections, some of the 'blogs' are insightful. Well done! 👏

On the other hand, one of my guy friends wants to gift me with dildo. And he's straight! Should I be reading in between the lines? But then again, we aren't friends like that. But this then challenges the whole celibacy thing that I'm on. Like isn't masturbation a form of sex? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of remaining chaste? But bless him, I won't say no, when I receive the gift.

And then my work is like scrambled eggs...mixed and all over the place. Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm kind of OCD about organisation. To be honest, I get anxious about planning anything major. But I have to organise myself when I'm not being constantly monitored. There's less pressure, and room to plan what fits where in my life. Top of my list, a launch event, book release, a tour and generating income off my skills.

I chose not to try to be deep in this blog. I am not going to bombard you with facts or philosophies. Let's just have a chat about losing a few marbles due to confinement.

I love watching horror movies and thrillers. I'm so annoyed with myself on why I didn't stack up my collection of adrenaline pushing flicks for this period. I'm so behind my movie watching it's sad. What was even sad was how frustrating 'Annabelle Comes Home'. Like, I felt like smacking the curious teenager who unleashed evil in the Warrens' home more than being scared. I was so disappointed by this film. From 'The Conjuring' franchise, this movie takes an 'L'. 'The Nun' takes the cake for the scares, considering that the 'nun' was in 'The Conjuring 2', and apparently the name is sacred. My friends and I researched and found that mentioning the 'demons' name will let lose freaky stuff from the pits of hell. I'm black, I don't play with conjuring things that I don't know.

And then I watched 'The Intruder'. I'm so glad that we are beginning to move away from black stereotype movies. Although, we recycle the same famous black actors, I love how we are breaking into the thriller/suspense genre. I already love how Jordan Peele has explored horror and done well. What I love about the black thriller films is that we see successful, people of colour living the 'American dream' (je ne comprends pas). So far there's 'When the Bough Breaks', 'The Perfect Man', 'Breaking In' and 'No Good Deed' to name but a few. I understand that Megan Goode's character, Annie's clueless nature was meant to make the plot interesting, but what the hell? I was frustrated at how she didn't take hid of her husband's warnings. Even without baby blue eyes Michael Ealy's character, chills would go down my spine by Charlie's behaviour. If you sold us the house, degagé! (Get lost) Sorry guys, spoiler alert! And I realised that I still like white chocolate too! Joseph Sikora (Tommy Eagan in Power), is yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy....

I actually love Justin Bieber's 'Changes' album. He's actually good at the modern R&B, but he's no Jon B. Tbh, they don't make R&B like they used to....just reminded me to create that playlist. I still haven't checked out The Weeknd's new album, 'After Hours'. From reviews, it's a trip...like being high, trip, so I will absolutely love it! The thing with The Weeknd's music there's a certain level of brokenness you should be or have experienced to get it. He's an amazing vocalist hands down, and I absolutely love how he experiments sonically. Oh yeah, love Party Nextdoor's, 'Party Mobile', but not to crazy about the Rihanna feature. Still, Riri, can we please get some new music?

Gosh, I'm actually watching 'Pretty Little Liars', again. Looking at it, stupid show! I can't fathom why these girls cared so much about a 'mean girl'. She was a monster to say the least. Why were twenty somethings Janel Parrish and Shay Mitchell playing teens? I won't even get to Bianca Lawson  who was in her thirties...respect to black that don't crack! I do miss 'Gossip Girl', now that was a great teen TV series. I loved me some Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf!

My eyebrow is still swollen from the fall. The wound has healed but it still throbs, I'm not sure if I can thread my eyebrow. I can't sleep on my left side, which is my favourite position. Anybody been in that position of being in pain and unable to sleep comfortably? You can relate.

Yes, we are just having a conversation about pretty much nothing. After this blog, I need to get back to reading. That will definitely calm my overactive mind.

Plus, we find inspiration for the next blog.

Remember to wash your hands with soap under running water. Stay safe, and stay at home.

P.S. : Always write your own love story!

Ciao!

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 ...

Mother Dearest...Bitter Pill for Mother's Day!

There's no greater heartache than living life motherless. I'm wondering when I will finally rejoice and sing, 'The Storm is Over.' I've never been a good liar, this has been a very rough season. Finding hope in hopelessness is hard. Friends are few in the darkest times, doors are closed, and you feel as if your prayers are hitting a brass heaven; instead of God's ears. Sigh! Mothers day! I love how the commercial buzz around this day prompts many to dig deep into their pockets to repay their mothers. It's not just hallmark cards, but bouquet of flowers, fancy brunch or lunch dates, the huge grocery hampers, and more. Mum, amai, mama , went through a lot to make you the person you are, so she deserves you to give her the world. As one popular entertainer said, she is the one, and probably only person, who will pray for you and your wellbeing from the depths of her heart. Mother's Day is a day to celebrate and honour the women who brought us into this ...

Winter ABC Day 23: 10 Things that You Didn’t Know About Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is a beautiful mess! Forget about Victoria Falls, the country in itself is a wonder. Through all the trials and tribulations, you can still find a people who are loyal to the nation. There is so much to see and experience in Zimbabwe that travel brochures won't show you. I have jotted 10 unknown things about Zimbabwe. Places 1. Mutorashanga Yes we are a landlocked country but guess what, we have great water bodies. Mutorashanga is that place for great afternoon with friends. Carry your swimwear and enjoy the serene natural pools at this place. 2. The Kariba Islands It took the filming of a television show for me to really experience Kariba. Most people speak of the common place on the man-made lake. But did you know that there are sightful islands by Lake Kariba? My favourite was Rhino island. If you are the adventurous type who doesn't mind having elephants and rhinos visit your campsite, then you will love this place. There's even a beach, just be car...

Winter ABC Day 4: 3 Things that I Wish I Could Do Effortlessly

"I wish that  I was a bit taller, I wish that I was a baller," and we continue to wish. Everytime that I have watched Aladdin, I always imagined how much thought I had to put in my wishes. You have only three but the genpime requests to be free. What would you do? That's not our topic for today. In the previous blog, I shared the things that I would do for free. In this blog, I get a little vulnerable. I fair myself as a multi talented young woman. I have seen what I can achieve when I set myself to do something. I am very driven and won't take no for an answer. But if I do, I am working towards a yes. Please do try me! (Smiles) As multi faceted as I am there are still things that I wish that I could excel at. I believe that if I could do these things, I would be further ahead in life. These qualities would change my life financially as well as socially. Apart from wishing that I was 5 ft 6, what could I do better? I share with you, the three things that I wish ...

Winter ABC Day 1: Why Not Start?

"Accept challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory." - George S. Patton Challenge accepted! For the next thirty days in the month of June, I join a plethora of writers in a blogging challenge. The task is to blog every single day about an array of topics. If I'm a blogger and love blogging, where's the challenge? Oh my, where do I even begin. As I commit I will have to overcome the hurdle of high data charges. Currently I am not earning consistent income because I am part of 95% in my country. But I'm also a 'hustler' (wish it sounded as cool as it's meant to be.) I have a river of procrastination to cross because tomorrow isn't a Ronan Keating song. Tomorrow always comes and I put things on hold for tomorrow. And then last but not least, I need to be still during the storm of load shedding. So why do I want to commit to this challenge. The question I'm asking  myself whilst the blogs from this challenge fill up my timel...
