Rest In Peace.

I've always had a feeling of foreboding towards the month of April. For me, April signifies death. Thirteen years ago in April, I lost my baby brother, and his death changed our lives forever. This morning , I woke up to the sad news that I had lost the nicest person I have ever met.Death is so confusing. Sometimes, I wonder, are we meant to mourn or celebrate. Celebrate in the sense that well, this person lived a good life and in the hope that they are going to a better place, or mourn in the sense that we really don't know if they are actually going to a better place.
Like I always say sha, God dey. Here's to all those who have lost anyone in April, may the Almighty grant us succor.
Sansee....RIP!

Ennui.

Had a really topsy-turvy month. I always knew writing was hard, but I never realised how hard. Listening to Jason Derulos' album right now though, and seriously loving it. Breezy, move over!Ha-ha! Winter is still not over, looks like the snow is not planning to melt anytime soon. Sucks! Want spring so bad. Feel really detached from everything around me right now, so I guess I might as well say nothing major is happening in my life right now. Don't even know what sort of post this is.Oh well, I guess I'll just enjoy my alone time with Jason Derulo.Ciao!

26 hours of Fela.

I’m in seventh heaven right now. I just got a whole bunch of Fela albums and recordings, right from his Koola Lobitos days. It’s actually a thrill for me to hear young Felas voice, sounds a bit like young Femi. I’m wondering how I’ll listen to 26 hours of Fela, so . A lot of people are surprised when I tell them I love Fela, the first question is always ‘Do you smoke weed?’ I’ve have never smoked weed, which is why I can’t wait to go to Amsterdam…..legal weed smoking, yay! That aside, I have always loved Fela. I remember when I was a little girl, my future ambition was to be a Fela dancer, my sister and I used to practice shaking our hips. She always used to tell me I wouldn’t make the cut ‘cos of my stiff body, well that dream went down the drain. After that, I decided to take up the saxophone, but that dream never even saw the day of light, I only got as far as the recorder. I was always awed whenever I saw Fela on the sax, I always used to wonder where he got his energy from. Oh wel...

Back to basics……..

School has just resumed. It was a very lovely winter break for me. Surprising in actual fact, because this is like the first winter break in ages I’ve actually not traveled. And I had a blast. Friends came over, and well, we had boatloads of fun. Sadly, it’s all over. Back to work, work and more work. I have to admit, I miss the noisy hell my house has been for a while. It’s like eerily quiet, and I’m wondering how I survived before. But the upside is, I’ve been able to get some ‘me’ time. Cleaned out my room, arranged my wardrobe, planning to do some laundry, and cooked my kinda food. Most importantly, I saw some movies all by myself. Some peeps find it weird that I actually enjoy watching movies all by myself. It’s not like I exactly like to watch alone, it’s more like I’d rather watch alone than watch with someone who doesn’t share my views as per the movie, narrow minded, I know. Which brings up another point, I’m officially making an effort to become a lil' more open minded as...
