Script My Life: Bruce Almighty

Because we are the creations of the Creators, the port is within us!

*making a crucifix sign*'Dear God.Please cut me some slack. I really need a breakthrough...' *watching out for a lightning bolt*. I will try by all means not to blaspheme.

'I've got the power....'. Power! Something human beings thrive to have. There is power in power. Power is control, influence and to some extent success. And after watching 'Bruce Almighty' over the weekend, I realised that power is powerful.

So in the movie,Jim Carey's character, Bruce, is given 'power' by 'God', (Morgan Freeman). After having things not go his way,this newfound 'power', gave him access to make his life the way he wants it.

How many of us have got real power? How many times have we wished we could really have control over our lives? To possess that power that gives us the 'perfect' life.

The power to live forever. The power to prevent bad things from happening.The power to be the 'perfect 10'. The power to have everything. IDEALISTIC.

Yes,I also desire for that 'power'. I really do need to have control of things in my life.The only control I have is my mind and my actions.Otherwise,I have found myself weak,without any influence,or control of other people's decisions over my life,(e.g jobs,getting paid,opportunities,love,etc)

What if I had divine 'power'.On the other hand, maybe not.In the movie, Bruce,(Jim Carey), realises that being 'God',is not so easy. He kept on hearing many voices in his head of people praying.Imagine if mankind had the 'Godkind' of power? To a certain extent maybe everyone would be happy. But then, maybe the human race would have been wiped out. I know if I got angry or wanted revenge, I would probably throw brimstones of fire at those who have wronged me. Imagine the amount of manipulation people would place on other people.

Nah. Only God should have that kind of power. He definitely knows how to use it,and when to use it. *sigh* I guess all one has to do is hope and pray,that things go their way. The only power we hold, is the power of 'faith'.

Power is a state of mind. Faith begins in the mind, then it is a vision, then it is spoken, and in speaking, faith is affirmed in the mind. Faith=Power.

'Who knows what miracles you can achieve,when you believe...'- When you believe, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.

There is only one God Almighty....

P.S: Always write your own love story.

Ciao!

I'm Ready

Por qué me siento así, mi amor? Lo podemos culpar a Cupido!   Bring on the tissues, and a tub of ice cream, and Amarula cream. Cupid really picked on me and not at the best time. And then 'Stupid Cupid' starts playing. Bonjour single ladies! Forgive me for the dramatic entrance, but I feel like a hopelessly enamoured teenager. Remember  le garçon du chocolat ? Oui. Well, what started off as a crush, has developed into more. Could I be in-love? Umm... But I think that the sparks have fizzled out on his end. Throwing myself on the couch.  Why am I this person, though? Am I setting myself up for possibly another heartbreak after recovering from a not so recent one? Like, le garçon du chocolat lives rent free in my mind, and mostly in my dreams. Am I supposed to feel like this actually? Gosh, I feel so embarrassed with my grown self.   So while, I'm manoeuvring through my emotions, let's talk about starting all over again with a renewed perspective. Gather around ladies,...

Inspired By A Thread

Colour blind is ignorance when all you see is red... ...learn your colours! Oi, you lovely lot! Whaddup, 'ow's it goin'? I’m gettin’ there, innit? Just takin’ me time, you know how it is. A while ago, I scrolled down my timeline, and I came across an interesting thread on X. Actually the responses were wild, but it had me thinking, I would love my readers to share their own experiences. The question was as follows; What was the craziest thing that you've done to investigate a man? Fam, the responses in this thread are worthy of scripts. Don't play with a woman who wants the truth. She has better investigative skills than any intelligence agency. This led me - actually inspired me to share my own personal experiences. My life is so ironical. I like keeping my relationships on the low because my ego can't handle the humiliation if things don't work out. However, drama seems to ensue whenever I decide to allow a male into my space. Of late, I realised that I ...

Script My Life: Bad Hair

My relationship with hair extensions will never be the same! It's spooky season and what a time for all things that make your stomach churn, and eyes pop! For most of this series, I review romantic comedies and dramas. The big screen allows me to live vicariously through stories and characters. I can escape my mundane life and all the imperfections in between. I can be anything that I want, through whichever character that I relate to. Funny enough I love horror and thrillers! I love the adrenalin rush of frightening encounters with the paranormal, or mentally unhinged. Most horrors or thrillers often follow a generic pattern, however there those that take the cup for scares. I will never watch 'The Exorcist' and 'The Nun' again! Apart from being scary, I am not playing with all that supernatural stuff. And here we are, watching Hulu's new flick, 'Bad Hair'. Ever since the trailer, I have been religiously following the interviews. In one interview, the f...

The Case of the Ghost

If you decide to ghost, then stay dead! I'm riled up and thinking WTF? Who the hell does he think he is? Trying to walk out of the tomb like the Messiah! Degage! But I also realised that I wasn't over it. IT! The hurt and humiliation of being ghosted. The humiliation of being relegated to  side  chick.  And the pain of going through loss alone. Who the hell does he think he is ... in my life? After many years, I bumped into him at a recent event. Actually, he called out my name and followed me. I don't know why he thought that he and I were Gucci. For two years, that guy was a poltergeist.He didn't reach out to me to explain his behaviour. He didn't send me a birthday message. No communication. Obviously, out of sight, out of mind.And then he has the nerve to call out my full government name. Honestly, I was inebriated and had no time for his nonsense. But he started saying that he and I needed to talk. He thought that I was his girl. He missed me. I'm literally...

Winter ABC Day 14: 5 Africans Who Inspire Me

I told you that this week is awesome! I love Africa! I love the people even more! I love our diversity in skin tones. I love our various languages that include clicks, coughs and long syllables. Our traditions may differ but they are somewhat intertwined. Africa isn't just the cradle of mankind. It is the stew pot of talent, intelligence and creativity. I procrastinated for a long time about writing about my African inspirations. With this challenge I have the opportunity to take action. My top 5 list includes creatives from various genres of media, arts and entertainment. As a creative myself,  I incline naturally towards those who are like myself. It is true that, 'birds of the same feather, flock together,' and away do I fly with the eagles. Without further due, below are the 5 Africans who inspire me. 1. Bonang Matheba Did you know that Bonang Matheba and I were born a week and a half apart in 1987? Now you know! I live vicariously through queen B!  She is my ...
