Enjoy... Ruminate... Chuckle

Humans can be a stubborn bunch. We are at times stuck, unshakable and adamant in our opinions, most likely forcing it down the throats of others who may have contrary views. As admirable as staying firm in one's beliefs can be, it can also be annoyingly overbearing when others are not allowed to have or air opinions.

Conflicts and wars usually start off when pigheads decide they can’t just chill and hear each other out. We hear all sort of ridiculous stories everyday where people are killed because of religious, racial, political and even football views. Being a believer of dialogue I wonder why seating down to talk isn’t a default mode for us every time.

I read a short and funny story a while back about Individual perspective written by Douglas Adams titled 'Cookies' and it made me wonder what would have happened if people in this story didn’t keep their cool.

I am coming home

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming

Diddy - Dirty Money - Coming Home Ft. Skylar Grey

The last post before this one was in 2013 and had an Arnold Schwarzenegger photo labelled ‘I am back’ ... I thought of giving this post three years later that title but ‘I am back’ is not profound enough, I mean it has been THREE years.

*sigh*

Two months in summary

I’m back !!!!!

I swear I didn't abandon the blog. I got a bit caught up with life. I had to help plan a wedding, then had a bit of accommodation panic … then business panic … then school panic… then alumni start up panic (long story).  What I am trying to say is I have been super busy. It has been the longest four months ever but that is no excuse. My apologies.

It’s just February but you’d think it is July with all that has happened this year.

'Sex and the City' and 'The Carrie's Diaries'

For those who don't know 'The Carrie's Diaries' is an 80's set dramedy which chronicles the adolescent years of Carrie Bradshaw. A 16-year-old Carrie interns in New York City, where a run-in with a chic style editor sparks the future columnist’s warm and fuzzy feelings about Manhattan.

As an ardent 'Sex and the City' fan, I look forward to watching the prequel 'The Carrie's Diaries' which is premiering early next year although I am a tad worried if it will last more than a season with the way series are being scrapped these days. I hope it comes with a bit of the appeal of 'Sex and the City' with the tale of friendship, love and shoes too. Loads of them J

Horror Movie Kids - Then and Now

I understand the power of make up and costume but Samara from the movie "The Ring" is probably the scariest character I have ever seen. There was a time I used to say no movie scares me. That was before I saw "The Ring". That girl was creepy as hell. You'll be shocked to see what she looks like now. Continue to see what some horror movie kids of the the past look like now.

Designer To Watch Out For - Ibitein Thompson

Ibitein Thompson

Ibitein Thompson is a powerhouse of talent and drive. As a finalist at the MTN Lagos Fashion and Design Week 2011, she showcased her fresh, unique and vivacious designs on the runway.

Her signature style is intricate coral beading and her confidence enhancing designs hold the woman’s physique as the highest priority incorporating the use of fabrics and vibrant colours to create a carefree playfulness and elegant pieces that will take a woman through any style demand.

Definitely a designer to watch out for. Check out her website here. Some of her designs after the break. Kizzez.

African Skank - JJC

JJC's African skank video is fun and super entertaining. Lots of cameo appearances and dance steps from across Africa. Watch out for Ali Baba, Denrele Edun, Goldie, Weird MC, DJ Sose, Gbenro Ajibade,  Tunde Ednut, Kaffy and Kate Henshaw. Kate Henshaw killed the Etighi dance step. Love eeeett.

Watch the video after the break.  Now, lemme see you do the African skank. :)

Gangnam Style - Psy

I am so late on this but I don't care at all. heehee. Had to post this.

So 'Gangnam style' seems to be the rage of the moment. I saw this video for the first time like two weeks ago. The video is quite silly, but it is so entertaining.

Who Knew? Eddie Murphy Sang

Who knew that Eddie Murphy was a recording artist at any time in his life? I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE!!! But I just found out (thank you Wikipedia).

Apparently Edward Regan "Eddie" Murphy was quite successful as a pop artiste in the 80s and early 90s. As a solo artiste, he had two hit singles, his highest-charting LP, 1985′s ‘How Could it Be’, which peaked at #26 on the Billboard 200 and "Party All the Time" (which was produced by Rick James). "Party All the Time" was Murphy’s lone top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The track climbed to #2 on the lineup in 1985 and was ranked as the #7 most successful hit at the end of 1986.

Well I saw the "Party all the time" video. Groovy. Shoulder pads and weird looking  hair all over the place. Rick James had blond weave on. Reminded me of the old Miami vice movie. lol. The video was nice though. And Eddie Murphy was really cute. Not bad at all.
