rants of an IT fly girl

so i have just completed my first 24 hours stretch working on some illustrations I don't feel tired but my voice has gone completely deep got a cup of ovaltine to send me to bed... it has been real. I have youtube keeping me company, hence the title of my post, the Olmeca Tequila ad just came up Anyone watched the olympics? Me being the sports fan watched a couple of games then i 2 weeks ago i got tied into the illustrations i have been working on and life happened too I love you Brasil regardless of bad press and other nonsense but somehow I kept going back to Beijing...this time it is for real, I promise myself to be in Japan come 2020 I will be team Naruto there too Here's to tonight's rain..., this morning's rain, my laptop battery at 5%, the cool ting that is Wacom and a great week ahead... smooches

I am so excited, yes you know how i went on about being in Brazil this season... well i am so far from Brazil as I type. To be honest being a Nigerian in Lagos at this moment and these olympic tales have been *sigh* chaos, being a Brazilian in Brazil now sounds like even more chaos. I say this as the honorary brazilian i like to think i am :) tales of strandedness and the lack of proper planning, tales of teargas and demonstrations *sigh* again zapping all that olympics happiness i tell you... I am still excited... glad for the 'dream time' - landed, played and succeeded... opening ceremony in a few... I still think Beijing's was a thrill, loved London 2012, and honestly twas a good time to be in London lemme go back to London 2012, cancelled trains, alternative bus routes, construction woes... and then the olympics and then after the olympics and things just went by O Brasilia, please make this work, obrigado! here's to an amazing games season, to joys...

When you take a moment to think about life in general, it feels like your heart is about to lift mount Everest! You may think in parts, the weight is still err weighty Life is bitter sweet sometimes, totally sweet sometimes, wholesomely bitter sometimes too. This issue of killing people - Black, Dark skin, of African heritage didn't begin today, or even in this century. The rot goes a long long way and the fact that society has unashamedly pushed down this race/class of people has made it even worse off. My heart goes out to families who have been thrown into deep dark mourning because of trigger happy men. They need divine comfort When did Black lives stop mattering that people need to be reminded now that Black lives matter? This is heavy... The other day at Taruwa, M.I said there is an agenda against black people, i began to ponder on why he said so... current events hav pushed these thots i am penning down The slave Era preached these messages 1. Black, Dark sk...

I went to the harbour town of Portsmouth about 2 weeks ago. It dawned on me that I'd love to travel the world in 80 days. You know see the sunrise in Bolivia and the sun set in Georgia Europe. Get beaten by the heavy rains in Abidjan, snowed in in Alaska. See butterflies in Vancouver, smell perfumes in Marrakech street markets, speak with a random fellow aircraft passenger... The list goes on... In Portsmouth, I spoke briefly with a couple who gave me an unpaid history of the Jutland battle while we stood on the queue at the 100th year anniversary opening event. I wandered briefly around the town and Emily led me thru to Cascades shopping centre. I loved the Sherlock Holmes exhibition best. I love the life of the adventurer not because I am restless, but because life's too short to experience the world from just a little part of it. Ps: I found that book in a bookshop kinda opposite Greenwich station Ps again: travel my friends, there is a reason the ear...

There is still some good left in this world... I needed ginger, the best thing that happens to all my smoothies, so I decided to head to where I can get ginger from. I'm back in Lagos btw.  I was also hoping to get it by the road side...  Basically this was what happened.  I parked next to a guy selling garden eggs, groundnuts and usoji out of a wheelbarrow. Beckoned to him and asked if he sold ginger turns out he didn't and asked how much I wanted. What he did next was amazing. He asked  the guy selling oranges to watch his goods and told me he will go into the market to get some for me.  He got me the ginger. He crossed the road, went into the market and bought me ginger... It has been a series of random acts of kindness for the past couple of days There is still some good left in this world where people take the lives of others simply because of wicked thoughts, mindsets and ideas Good wins Ps: Always glad about the June rains and corn 

The shooting of the Gorilla has got me. I went to see Show Boat last night and i was thumped up to type all about it this morning. But the shooting of the gorilla still has me.... This has absolutely nothing to do with human rights, animal rights or any other rights, it seems the gorilla was killed by a trigger happy zoo official and although no punishment can bring back the poor beast's life, the event can't be swept under some bridge somewhere. If the gorilla was going to attack the boy, things will have been a lot different. That gorilla did not attack the boy. Animals have feelings too Life is unfair some times...

I am sitting on my bed after the day's work, issues and just being the passing day. I am reading a book on the pod, and lots of thots run thru my mind this moment i am thankful for my friend... I realise i actually never say how much he is appreciated. So we have the most cray cray arguments but then we have the most amazing conversations ever. A total information cube he is, and I have tons and tons to learn from him. Oh well... past memories fuelled my current thots funny how that happens. I also realised how Lagos is really really causing me to lose my smile. What's with the mahd heat tho? The world we know is changing, anyone notice how time really flies by each day? sometimes i am simply afraid...
