rants of an IT fly girl

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...

This may sound ridiculous however I am going to talk about it... My sister got me eating beetroots a couple of years ago when our GP complained about our low iron levels. A big kudos to Tesco for hooking us up too. We sort of phased it out of our diet here in Lagos, twas borrowed culture any way Alas!!! *Shakespeare's voice* Beets are grown and sold in Abuja. Today my mom brought a large supply of beetroots. I haven't been this excited since i got my citrus juicer. I honestly believe I don't have to follow some written down smoothie recipes, I just make my things my way and it works for me. My smoothie tonight was made up of a little ginger a little slice of an avocado a celery stalk (soaked in ACV for a couple minutes) one whole medium beetroot orange juice Amazing! or what!!? I am super duper red beet!!! Ps: whenever I have some avocado as part of my dinner, I sleep so well all thru the night. It may just be a remedy for insomnia too. Refined sugar...

I will still say I haven't by any means neglected blogger... Funny things happen on the bus to each Sunday Service i attend, and i 'note to self' i must blog. Sadly this is never the case... this morning's funny story a couple in front of me on the queue, wife in front of husband with zip pretty low husband failed to observe this how!? I do not know Me: bemused, couple squabbles are real... What book are you reading? I am currently reading - you guessed right! - Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice I believe the book should be read once every decade, or more (avid readers) between ages 11 and 20 - Just so you can brag about having read it between ages 21 and 30 - Just so you can say you have a good understanding of how English language was spoken then between ages 31 and 40 - because you will learn a whole lot about flirting in this book don't ask about the other ages... when i get there, i will let you know Ps; it has rained again tonight, here...
