Random Musings: Clearly I Am Not Just A Fat Ass

Lately I find myself listening to different genres of music. From rock, pop, country, jazz and and and. So I have just being a music whore trying to find the one I'm most comfortable with. 
Of all the genres of music I have been experimenting lately, Soul tops my list. Now Soul is believed to be music for only mature minds, whatever that means! I have even been told that you need to be of a certain age group to understand the message that lies in soul music. Honestly, I couldn't disagree more. 



Jill Scott is not only a soulful poet, a great song-writer and a beautiful songstress.
She is a spoken word artist, a soul singer and an actress.

Womanifesto is a track in her 2011 album, Light in the Sun.

My colleague at work concluded that he was probably sexting his bae and couldn't be bothered about the stupid rally anyways. He probably couldn't wait to jet off to meet his bae already. I was amazed at her thought and I argued that he was probably tweeting about the rally, checking updates and reading news online. She disagreed o! She said the average black man is a cheat as long as he has roots from Africa. So I allowed her continue, and she explained that she had heard so many reasons why men cheat and she can only blame the girlfriends or wives. This reminded me of a friend (Tomiwa) that became a serial cheat overnight. His reason.... h...

Click on this link  LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY Honestly, I wasn't hypnotized in any way neither was I under a spell of some sort, at least thats what I tell anyone that asks. But was I? A question I keep asking myself till date, I hope at the end of this,you might be able to give me an answer. Story begins..... We drove off to somewhere in Coates Str, EbuteMetta,Lagos Mainland to be precise.We got off the car and made an agreement not to expose the source of the money to the baba, we would tell him that we found the money in a land we plan to buy in Agbara, Lagos.
