Simply Perfect!

I agree with Garance, these are simply PERFECT! I love high heels and all the attitude they posess. I've always believed a good pair will make any woman feel like she's got a new set of breasts.

Heaven!

Well, of course heaven looks something like this. Well, for me at least. I know my gal Poppy would agree.

Lyrical Affair: Pete Philly & Perquisite - Time Flies

Haven't you noticed how Time Flies,
Man sometimes I feel old
Haven't you noticed how Time Flies,
Can't believe how much I've grown,
Haven't you noticed how Time Flies,
man sometimes I feel old
Haven't you noticed how Time Flies...

It only seems like yesterday
when I walked in the park
with my boys and I was smoking all of that weed
Rolling papers and a few blunts,
and the sunshine was all that we need
We used to skate, irritate all the neighbours
I swear yo they hated me.
A good day, wasn't a good day,
Unless I land a trick and they'd see it.
Today I reminisce and say,
It was all just fun and games
We used to play then back in the day,
and now I realise that before the day,
I'm old and grey,
I gotta make each day count
cos the amount of the hours is slippin' away

Haven't you noticed how Time Flies,
Man sometimes I feel old
Haven't you noticed how Time Flies,
Can't believe how much I've grown,
Haven't you noticed how Time Flies,
man sometimes I feel old
Haven't you noticed how Time Flies...

I know you've sent me some e-mails
and call me 'bout this an' times
and I haven't been calling you back
But nowadays yo my life's kinda crazy
the tours and the...then I'm back.
I know you had some ups and some downs,
tell me where you been living at
I hope that all your ambitions and your dreams and your hope are still in tact
Yo, just let me know, when you wanna walk through my door
so we can chat and relax just some facts
drinking six packs after that scout for some...oooo
forgot you don't do that no more!
I wish time was a little more slow
but it's not, just come to my spot let the memories flow

Haven't you noticed how Time Flies,
Man sometimes I feel old
Haven't you noticed how Time Flies,
Can't believe how much I've grown,
Haven't you noticed how Time Flies,
man sometimes I feel old
Haven't you noticed how Time Flies...

P.S. I love their music as a group and as solo artists. Check out their work here and here

Lyrical Affair: Jesse Boykins III - When Your Ready


When I'm ready, I will wait for you, when we're steady I will hold you close, against all odds, tell me what are the odds, that you will see me as your lover boo, that you'll know the warmth I have for you, open your eyes, love open them wide

I'll be there, we'll be here, I'll stay near, I'm prepared, when (your) ready, when we're steady

Such a vision that I have for you, how I dream to picture just the two of us
Greatness is near, why drag fate into fear? No point in letting go without holding on.
No point in living life without growing strong, we'll keep things afloat and still rock the boat.

I'll be there, we'll be here, I'll stay here, I'll stay near, I'm prepared, when (you're) ready, when we're steady

Books: Sefi Atta - Everything Good Will Come

I'm loving this book my friend Dawn lent me by Sefi Atta 'Everything Good Will Come'. So much character.

She Said: Laurell K. Hamilton

"Men don't settle down because of the right woman. They settle down because they are finally ready for it. Whatever woman they're dating when they get ready is the one they settle down with, not necessarily the best one or the prettiest, just the one who happened to be on hand when the time got to be right. Unromantic, but still true."

She Said: Anais Nin

"I must be a mermaid. I have no fear of depths and great fear of shallow living"

Once You Lie To Her

  • Once you lie to her & she finds out, she's gonna wonder if you've been lying the whole time.
  • Once you lie to her & she finds out, she's gonna wonder what else are you lying about.
  • Once you lie to her & she finds out, she's no longer going to fully believe anything you say.
  • Once you lie to her & she finds out, she's no longer going to fully trust you.
  • Once you lie to her & she finds out, good luck winning her trust back.

Just Sometimes...

...you need to be super happy with and by yourself. For no apparent reason but the fact that you are still soldiering on.

Happy Monday :)

I Think I Know What We Did Wrong.

This is so..profound!
We loved like two people
who did not know God.
(as if we had not used
every prayer
every surah
every ayah
asking God for
something like this)
subhanallah,
what a shame.

Lyrical Affair: Mos Def - Brown Sugar


Put your neck to it, put your arms and legs next to it
Then put whatever else is left to it
See you're all in (all in) now you about to rock 'em
Got your focus man, now they got a problem
Who you talkin to? son right there
The man in the mirror, I see him quite clear
Do your thing Cav (yeah son)
Work it out dog (work it out)
Open up their minds (open up)
Be about yours (bout yours)
Silence everyone who ever try to doubt yours
Get your mind right (mind right)
Keep your sound raw (sound raw)
Heavy bass man (bass man)
Make it bounce more (bounce more)
Make 'em feel it from to the ceilin to the ground floor

Lent


noun
(in the Christian religion) an annual season of fasting and penitence in preparation for Easter, beginning on Ash Wednesday and lasting 40 weekdays to Easter, observed by Roman Catholic, Anglican, and certain other churches.

So, for the first time I've committed myself to lent. I have never done it before but i'm willing to give it a swing. The following are the things I'm taking a break from:

  • twitter (yeah, I know)
  • alcohol
  • junk food (sweets etc)
Here's to the first year of discipline...for 40 DAYS.

Good luck to myself!

He Said: Toure

"Rock once had an ethos of live fast, die young and leave a beautiful corpse, but those days are long gone. We’re in a more corporate era, where artists are often business savvy and focused on building lasting careers. This year’s Grammys opened with a song by Bruce Springsteen and closed with a performance by Paul McCartney, evidence that longevity is being celebrated. So why are we still seeing singers and rappers dying prematurely of suicide, drug overdose and heart attacks that are suggestive of bodies and minds being mistreated over long periods of time?"

an extract from Toure's article on 'After Whitney Houston, Musicians Say: I'm Afraid'


Double Take: Michael Jackson Impersonator

I wonder if this guy is or was black too.

Girl Crush: Solange

It's her sense of simplicity that gets me all the time. I'm not even going to start with her record spinning and that gorgeous hair.
