I-centric - is the new me!

There is something so complex about 3 words in the dictionary: Me; Myself and I. Such simple words which often cause so much complexity in the human mind.

These are my new words. My new favourite words! Thanks to my recent epiphany I had whilst sipping on the usual Vodka and Appletiser...

Every woman or man needs to experience this. After trying to please everyone else, or more importantly one person in my life for so long I have finally realised that I no longer have to. I have found someone who loves me without me even trying. Who? Me; Myself and I.



I am baffled by my friends and certain family members who have skipped this eventful time in many of our lives. When you realise that the most important person in the world right now is you. Because if I don't work on me, you will only work on me - and I refuse to give you that right. Whoever you are.

This I-centric nature is not easy by no means. I find myself arguing with everyone from my parents to friends and even my dog - fighting for what rightfully belongs to me. The right to be who I am. To be how I am. To do what I like.

Otherwise how else will I know these things. How can I be happy with you, if I cannot be happy just being me? Don't be offended. Don't take it personally - this feeling is really encompassed in the cliche - it isn't you, it is simply me. Me trying to be Me. Loving Me, loving my life, loving my friends and thoroughly loving my freedom.

Hum Dee Dumdy about this, think of the last time you put yourself first. The one time you woke up in the morning and thought, what am I doing today to make myself happy?

Just do it. Just embrace it. Just let everyone else be, and concentrate on that me inside of you. Selfishness is ugly but I-centricness is powerful. Remember the difference. You will need it when you start fighting for what is yours.

;) Excuse me while I go scream " I love me!" at the top of my longs along side the road!!!

It's Friday

I gotta feeling!!! Wooohoooo

I know you feel it. I know you sense it. It is that feeling that tingles down your back on a Friday morning when you awake to the fact that after the next 8 hours of work you are left to your own devices for two whole days.

It is the simple joys of having after work drinks with friends, taking scary pictures at your outings, washing your crazy dog or messy car and chilling with your beloved family.

There is nothing like that feeling. Makes me want to sing and jam to "Thank God it's Friday!".... I wish everyday was called Friday, even if it wasn't. I think it would create a mind change, alter our perceptions and immediately improve our moods knowing that everyday is Friday and realizing that whether tomorrow is Saturday or not, tomorrow my friend is still yours.

So enjoy this blissful joy. Relish the freedom. Dance in the dream. But always remember that the feeling is there for as long as you want it. The memories are yours to be made. The fun and laughter is ours for the sharing.



I don't know about you, but I am feeling the winds of change sweeping through the air. It is time for us to embrace each moment and stop living for the future when there is so much more that "NOW" can be. Especially in your hands. Especially with friends like these. Especially with a family so great. Especially with the possibilities unbound.

Simply put. Let's Live.

Hummmm. Damn right I have a feeling. ;)

Musical reflections on Life

If we are all living in our own movie - like I truly believe we are... Then we all need a sountrack to accompany those troodoosh moments in life. It certainly makes me wonder or wish I could experience life in the good old school days when music really had meaning and wasn't simply the sound of the beat rattling our car windows.

Just for laughs - here are some of my life's soundtracks - feel free to utilize these because I know you going to want to, especially if you are a Soul Music fan like me!!!

For that heartbreaking moment, when you are not feeling that emotional there is nothing like jamming "Let's just Kiss and Say Goodbye", because this song truly encapsulates a mutual ending :(....

Run out of work, bob your head, and grab your sung's as you prep for the evening screaming : I gotta feeling, wooohhoooooooooooo.... Thank you Black Eyed Peas for creating a sound that embraces those nights we leave our pride and names at home in place for some serious misbehavior!

If ever I wanted to meet someone, it would be Tamia, to understand the pain she went through and share my gratitude for getting me through many a break-up. She tops the charts on my "break-up", I need to cry CD, with the ultimate ladies song, I am officially missing you. It is at that moment, when she hits that note ( you know what I'm talking about ), that we often realize we need to either go back, or officially move on sista.

Jamie Jamie... you allow our friends to rag us at odd moments with the new party theme song: Blame it on the Alcohol... lol, after many a wise word has taught us otherwise, you my friend have allowed certain people to embrace the fact that ugly girls need lovin too. ;)



Changes in my life ( had to chuck in a house number )... not just any song, but the song that saw me through some of the hardest withdrawals in my life. From bad lovers to bad habits - we all need changes in our life. This song has taught me to embrace change and remember that I will never leave certain people behind. I feel blessed every time I sing it and realize all over again the many beauties who stuck through all my mud.

Who could leave out the ultimate poet - 2 Pac, because of us who live in the movies we all grew up in a Thug Life and dream of a Thugz Mansion. I take such a deeper meaning out of this, that everyone who works hard to improve themselves deserves a little piece of heaven...

Because there is always a me and you, a partner involved... Marvin Gaye should definitely feature in your life's album. Whether it is Let's Get It on.... Oh baby!!! lol Or Too busy thinking about my baby, many woman dream that the likes of Marvin, Luther, Teddy and Baby Face still existed to woo us off our feet.

Right now, if it is any indication of my life's current status I am constantly jamming those lips like sugar... lol, clearly meaning all emotion has been thrown out the window for now. Second song choice would have to be I know you want me... Hum Deeeeeee
