Anele.
Today had quite a bit of potential, but, the Universe had other plans.
Trying to send a Whatsapp text to my father, i type in ‘da’ and the first name that pops up is Anele Dandala. It stuck out especially today becasue with the number came an image. So i ask myself “HOW MANY PILLS DID I TAKE?!?! HOW AM I TRIPPING SO EARLY!”
How is she updating her whatsapp from the other side?!
When my mind came back I sent the image to her cousin to ask if she knows this person using the number and she said she’s never seen her in her life. Then we discovered that, mtn actually gives your num’ber away if it stays inactive for a given amount of time.
Selfish. Inconsiderate, cunts.
I don’t know whether to delete the contact or what. And it’s her unveiling this Saturday…
Aint this some shit!

Lupe Fiasco - Bitch Bad [Music Video]
[Intro]Yeah, I say
Bitch bad, woman good, lady better
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
[Verse 1]Now imagine there's a shorty, maybe five maybe four
Ridin' 'round with his mama listening to the radio
And a song comes on and a not far off from being born
Doesn't know the difference between right and wrong
Now I ain't trying to make it too complex
But let's just say shorty has an undeveloped context
About the perception of women these days
His mama sings along and this what she says
"Niggas, I'm a bad bitch, and I'm that bitch
Something that's far above average"
And maybe other rhyming words like cabbage and savage
And baby carriage and other things that match it
Couple of things are happenin' here
First he's relatin' the word "bitch" with his mama - comma
And because she's relatin' to herself, his most important source of help
And mental health, he may skew respect for dishonor
[Hook]Bitch bad, woman good
Lady better, they misunderstood
(I'm killin' these bitches)
Uh, tell 'em
Bitch bad, woman good
Lady better, they misunderstood
They misunderstood
[Verse 2]
Yeah, now imagine a group of little girls nine through twelve
On the internet watchin' videos listenin' to songs by themselves
It doesn't really matter if they have parental clearance
They understand the internet better than their parents
Now being the internet, the content's probably uncensored
They're young, so they're malleable and probably unmentored
A complicated combination, maybe with no relevance
Until that intelligence meets their favorite singer's preference
"Bad bitches, bad bitches, bad bitches
That's all I want and all I like in life is bad bitches, bad bitches"
Now let's say that they less concerned with him
And more with the video girl acquiescent to his whims
Ah, the plot thickens
High heels, long hair, fat booty, slim
Reality check, I'm not trippin'
They don't see a paid actress, just what makes a bad bitch
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Disclaimer: this rhymer, Lupe, is not usin' "bitch" as a lesson
But as a psychological weapon
To set in your mind and really mess with your conceptions
Discretions, reflections, it's clever misdirection
Cause, while I was rappin' they was growin' up fast
Nobody stepped in to ever slow 'em up, gasp
Sure enough, in this little world
The little boy meets one of those little girls
And he thinks she a bad bitch and she thinks she a bad bitch
He thinks disrespectfully, she thinks of that sexually
She got the wrong idea, he don't wanna fuck her
He think she's bad at bein' a bitch, like his mother
Momma never dressed like that, come out the house hot mess like that
Ass, titties, breasts like that, all out to impress like that
Just like that, you see the fruit of the confusion
He caught in a reality, she caught in an illusion
Bad mean good to her, she really nice and smart
But bad mean bad to him, bitch don't play your part
But bitch still bad to her if you say it the wrong way
But she think she a bitch, what a double entendre
[Hook]
[Outro: MDMA]
Bitch bad, woman good, lady better
They misunderstood
You're misunderstood (I'm killin' these bitches)Bitch bad, woman good, lady better
Greatest mother hoood (I'm killin' these bitches)
A Prayer for Reassurance
Help us, O Lord
To live one day at a time.
Ley your grace be sufficient for today.
Let me not be anxious about tomorrow.
Let me rest in the arms of your love in time and eternity
Blessed by your goodness.
Now and forever.
Amen.
Prescription.
I wanna describe drugs. And how they make me feel.
When your face starts numbing...
And you lose feeling in your knees.
Your vision starts getting blurry and all sounds fade into the background.
A blackness starts swallowing you up.
A tingling sensation.
All over your body.
Like.
Eruption.
Explosion.
O.
August 27, 2012
I know what you wore, in your bed. I can still taste my tears, the dust. Your laugh haunts my sleep. It's a difficult thing I'm going through. With my ill luck, I don't understand why my friend had to be taken away from me too. I've built, coushins and padded walls,to fall onto when it gets too hard. I've also stayed in this padded area so long, the doors have jammed. I don't know the intensity of the pain. I feel, the watered down pain. The pain I live with daily. The real pain jabs at me from time to time, that's when my world seems to crash around me. It's numbing. Sometimes I think my heart would stop, from pain.
Reckless Love
You are reckless with your penis...
(She's got the whole wide world in her juicy fruit / He's got the whole wide world in his pants / He wrapped the whole wide world in a wedding band / Then put the whole wide world on her hands / She's got the whole wide world in her hands / He's got the whole wide world in his hands)
Yet you remain reckless with your penis.
Ayesha Says
Hijabs, hoodies, afros, locks
Teddy bear, liquor bottle shrines, rocks
Tanks, prayer rugs, church pews, Mexican corn stands
Blood, sweat, and tears, police batons
Gas masks and bullets create graffiti on corners
Murals that salute freedom or death for liberty
Be it Inglewood or Egypt, Bedstuy or Baghdad
Syria or Liberia, the west bank or the west side of Chicago
Where food and liquor stores still occupy the block
While police and community watchmen justify why they shot
Emmit Till and Malice Green, Rekia Boyd and Trayvon Martin
Better not wear that hoodie while shopping for a carton
Or whatever they sellin’ in your food desert
Cause your soul is dessert and will be dissected and consumed
On the Fox evening news while we sing the blues
The new Jim Crow caged bird sings
Cause he’s tired of occupying his misery and of our marching
He wanna fly to a higher consciousness
But his school on academic probation
They gave him medicine, diagnosed him with a felony and mental retardation
So he refuses to cease the firin’, nobody’s hirin’
In Illinois, 67 is the new age when you retirin’
Class lines have blurred, those who used to have, have not
Pensions bein’ snatched
Those who never have keep their hands stretched
Social services being cut
Sterilization clinics giving out pills to numb the womb
Young girls referring to their vaginas as tombs
Thinkin’ protests are temporary and trendy
Well rock a t-shirt and carry a poster
And two weeks later it’s back to normal
But they say times are changin’
The revolution is becoming second nature, causes are combining
People carrying torches, hope burning from their hands
Attaching explosive devices ‘cause they keep stealing their lands
In the name of freedom
Hijabs, hoodies, afros, locks
Teddy bear, liquor bottle shrines, rocks
Tanks, prayer rugs, church pews, Mexican corn stands
Blood, sweat, and tears, police batons
Gas masks and bullets create graffiti on corners

I'll leave you in my head. I'll leave you here, and you will live here. We'll drive down the red earth of Kenya. Watch the sun set, into the brown grass. The blue mountains will watch us sleep. Hand in hand. You'll decorate my face with white dots, calamine. I'll make you armbands, with wooden beads.
You will live here.

INDIA
Oh Lord... Where do I even start?! Is my love for Indian food not enough?? The spices... The colours... Saris. It's all so beautiful and I want to experience it all.
The Taj Mahal
Namgyal
Varanasi, the oldest city of India
GREECE
I've always been fascinated by the Greek. Mostly because of their food. Well that's how it started off. Then I saw movies like Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants and Mamma Mia... The beauty!
Santorini Church
EGYPT
I read something once, said something along the lines of 'before exploring other worlds, know your own'. I cannot jump to other countries of other continents without knowing my own...
Alexandria
Sun temples

have not travelled. And I wanna be well-travelled
KENYA
I don't know why I love this place so much. I'm drawn to this country and its people. Maybe it reminds me of my own people, the Xhosa. The people of the Red Earth...
Mombasa
Maasai warriors :)

August, not in a Rush
Women's month drawing to an end, finally. Not that I don't appreciate it - but there've been too many bad news and I can't afford more blues
Bad Mothering
Oh Blogger, sweet sweet Blogger.
If it wasnt for Tumblr's usability, you'd still be the apple of my eye.
Forgive me. I feel like that time I tripped into a dream and fought for dear life to hang on to it. I thought it was my destiny. Little did I know...
I'm back now, my baby.
