One day it'll all make sense

I’ve been thinking a lot about songs, and their meanings. One song that struck me was Lyfe Jennings “Let’s stay together”, now I know he meant well, but his delivery was “terrible” to say the least…The song is about him trying to persuade his partner and mother of his children to stay with him and rethink her decision to leave..he had a line that went: “Don’t do it for the kids, do it for me” now he meant “ Don’t do it JUST for the kids, do it coz you love me as well” but poor old Stick Up Lyfe was too caught up in making the song, he comes across as a paedophobic father….like “Forget the kids, stay for me”
Anyway, I’ve been thinking about Beyonce Knowles’ contribution to the English language, or at least the urban-English language. She brought us ‘Bootylicious’ which is a compounding of Booty (the female derriere) and Delicious (yummy!) combined- (Bootylicious- “yummy derriere”, actually a derriere that obviously protrudes and is made up of a well developed and toned Gluteus Maximus) Note: “Badonkadonk” is generally considered to be a step ahead of Bootylicious, meaning- the fact that one is bootylicious does not automatically mean they have a Badonkadonk, but a girl with a Bandonkadonk is bootylicious- u get me?
Beyonce threw out the ‘white media’ infused ‘tight-butt’, which personally I find very disturbing…why would anyone want a ‘tight butt’??
Beyonce, with her second album ‘B’Day’ brought new terms like ‘Freakum Dress’…and no it’s not a salad dressing…it’s actually a compounding of the words ‘Freak’ (to make someone hyped- sexually) and ‘Him’ (pronoun for a dude) combined: Freakum. Therefore a Freakum Dress is a dress a woman (usually) wears that gets the hormones running in her man, causing him to do freaky shit with her. Beyonce also popularized the term ‘ You must not know bout me’ (English trans: I doubt you know me very well) It is now a common saying amongst couples across races…when a boyfriend trips, his girlfriend assumes the position (arms akimbo, or folded, head nodding as she says ‘You must not know bout me’, fingers may be snapped for emphasis)

I just read that my girl Kelly RoRo aka Kelly Rowland, collapsed while performing in Lagos State, Nigeria…that’s some trippy shit I wonder what song she was performing….. “I told ya I was gonna fall like dis *collapses*…crowd goes crazy!!!!!” lol. It’s a shame, she went to my home country and fainted on stage from dehydration…why didn’t she drink water…lol. I love you Kelly!!! I’m gonna get the album too. I hope she didn’t faint early in her performance, coz that would suck for her fans who paid 10 Gs to see her.

Back from the Dead-ish

So...I haven't written a blog since the 22nd of June, not because nothing has happened, believe me a lot has...(shemar moore is gay, Tyler- maybe?, lol) but for real I just lack the motivation. I find myself sleeping late, then waking up at noon, watching scrubs, eastenders, nigerian movies etc. This new 'satellite' aint really all that. When I was told we had it back in England, I was told we had 200+ channels, now 200+ in my head meant 200 different channels, not BBC1 England, BBC1 Wales, BBC1 Scotland, BBC1 Little Island in the sea of the coast of Ireland. We have a plethora of odd channels like teachers tv, Information channel...wtf is an information channel..."Hey we are the information channel, where we give u information" Information!!! "of what??" we also have Audi channel, Muslim Tv and Wedding Tv..which happens to be Laura's favourite...and which happens to also recycle their programs, not like there is a lot of variety anyway...eLove, For Better or for Worse and that's about it...$5000 for ur wedding...everyone panicking, idiots running late when the ceremony is about to begin, but mysteriously finish up and grab a shower and get dressed in time.....Wow! As for me I constantly flip thru the music channels looking for Kelly Rowland ft Eve.
Speaking of Tv, I have recently influenced Daniel and Laura to watch scrubs (Joy is too busy dancing to Jonathan eyyy!*electronic voice*) Laura cannot deny that Scrubs is funnier than anything Madea can concoct...she is yet to admit that she is a fan...but the day she secretly watches Scrubs online is not far off.
What else has been eventful....Well like two days ago, a fuse in the house started tripping...immediately we changed it, it'll blow up..we tried and tried and tried, no respite. Anyway today we discovered that it was out evil kettle that was causing all the palaver. 'Stupid limescale ridden machine', with the electric kettle down, we have to resort to the ghetto method, or rather old school method of boiling water over a fire....i.e. no more hot chocolate for me.
I'll try to keep updating my blog regularly..since I would be a away from my PC during my time in the cradle of civilisation a.k.a Los Village. I will have to keep a diary of my adventures, hopefully my time should be as eventful as the last time I was in Nigeria, where I killed a snake!...Gangsta Boogie!
Anyway, Pops is back from work, I'm done here. If you were expecting something extremely Hilaria then.....keep waiting
