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 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.

Winter ABC Day 6: Thank You Carrie Bradshaw

Who knew that a TV show would be the reason that I intentionally speak my mind? You can learn nothing from television they say. TV makes you dumb! Oh well, maybe so, however one television show was the match for this wildfire. My older sister pulled her hair out when she found out that my young sister and I were watching Sex and the City. Amongst her collection of video cassettes, she had a box set of the guilty pleasure, Sex and the City. The age guide was no under 21; I was 17 and my younger sibling was way too young. You are telling yourself that these adolescents were mischievous, maybe. I believe we were curious and adventurous. I was obsessed with pop culture with the hopes of one day being Lala Vasquez on TRL or hosting E! News. From my collection of People magazine I had read so much about the cast of Sex and the City. There were mentions of the cast members of the hit show in particular Sarah Jessica Parker. SJP as she's affectionately known, played the lead role of ...

Single Ladies: Thank You, Next!

I just had the most vivid dream about my high school crush ! I think I love him! But that's a conversation for another day. Hey single ladies, (Beyoncé wave)! How are you beautiful goddesses? I am fine thank you. The journey is so exciting and evolutionary. To imagine where we started from six years ago to date, the amount of internal change and personal growth. Like you, I'm still single, but I'm now single with a purpose. And I can safely say that I am ready for Mr Put-a-ring-on-it, and the whole shebang - flaws and all. Even my brother's girlfriend affirmed that I am a mature woman ready to settle down. But it's not the narrative for all the single ladies and that's okay! My older sister and I always have these conversations about personal growth and self love. She is a wellness and mental health consultant with a background in psychiatry. I am a work in progress with a nursing background, psychology and psychiatry included. I also use my personal e...

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...

Script My Life: The Kissing Booth

With a show of the hands, how many of you have ended up with your crush? I guess I will see in the comments section below. Reminiscing about the complex, simplicity of high school is funny. When you are a teenager,  your whole life seems to be captured in that time capsule. It seems like an eternity before the reality of growing up hits you. As a grown woman, I still indulge in a high school movie or two. I love how cliché and generic the storylines are. Yet they somewhat relate to what a teen is going through or what I related to, once upon a time. I still love the lessons about being true to yourself à la 'Mean Girls', '10 Things I Hate About You' and most recent, 'Reality High'. Y'all high school is hard! I'm not sure what it's like now with social media and cellphones. Back in my day, bullying was physical, rejection was real and your crush wrote a note, or letter to reciprocate your feelings. Funny story, I'm still 'sort of...
