The keys to my heart?

Its Friday..which means, one can indulge themselves in as many shenanigans as time would allow. How a quiz on animals can result in telling what's going on in my system is puzzling....BUT its Friday afternoon, no need to hurt the brain with all this thinking...

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage something you've always wanted... though you haven't really thought about it.

In this moment, you think of love as something you don't need. You just feel like flirting around and playing right now.

Truly random musings

Bombs are going down over some parts of middle east and parts of Africa, In Turkey there is a fight for secularisation(dont know if that is a real word), Putin is putting his feet down over the US in Russia, the fight against Mungiki is on in Kenya, Global warming discussions and how to save our planet are ensuing even in China and then.......there is the Vodka battles currently going on in Europe. I tell you man, human beings are incredible and the world would be soo boring without this diversity of thought. Thankfully I'm allergic to that stuff..hic!:)

Why is it that Oxymoron is not the definition for someone who is stupidly high or low on Oxygen?

The other day we saw an advertisement for anti bacterial keypads. We thought it was a random joke until only now I have googled and found that it is not just a concept but a ...properly patended idea. So now we can get bacteria from our own keypads..what about the mice(plural of mouse ofcourse), and the screen..I mean, apparently there are no limits to the creativity of man...I am highly highly amused by all this.

Musicality

Now then, I find myself immensely drawn to all things musical...well at least most things musical...soulful sounds that I'm highly recommending to one and all are as follows;

This is one fine album. This girl has soulful sound that makes you think of great names like Lauryn Hill, Erica Badu, Alicia Keys, Indiana Arie, Jill Scott...e.t.c Best part for me as well is her ability to put into song and words emotions/thoughts/ideas et al that come across the mind from time to time. Plus we have had enuff lyrics from men on girls and NOW here is one dame who gives us lyrics we already had and puts them into a delicious package.I'm having a debate on what's my fav tune in this album so in no particular order, the list would;
a) Tell me what we're gonna do now (for putting one's cards on the table and waiting for the other party to say their piece )
b) Bad habit(that self-denial thingie when we know what we want but cant say it?)
c) Proper nice
d) Bruised but not broken (awesome post break up song)
e) Arms of my baby (seriously makes one want to be in the arms of one nice person)
...Ok so I could go on and on but wont...its obvious I DIG IT!

And then there is this delicious child who started singing in church(like many great artists of our time and before and I guess to come) If you havent heard this one by now, you needs to bring sexy back into your music collection with this baby...

I dont have any favourite on this one....I DIG EM ALL!!!

Ahhh...have waited a while to post that one:)..

Random musings

Its been too long indeed and this come back is going to be majorly random so buckle up..
Yesterday I was browsing through a Kenyan local daily and came across an article that made me want to break something.Apparently now, x numbers after I am out of the system, they are working on an alternative syllabus that allows students to pick subjects that they are interested in instead of the mandatory subjects that were slammed on us. What this directly translated to for me was it means I can now opt random stuff like Physics out(one of the most random subjects in my opinion) and stick with the kool stuff like Bio. Now why is it that this realistion took so long to get here? Seriously? We grew up stuck in a system where you had to take a certain number of subjects even if you hate them or dont get them.My dream of being a doctor was flushed down the lavatories of physics and pythagoras theorems which have no direct bearing on my life(I think)..seriously, think about it, when did you ever find yourself going, 'hey mum, dont sit on that side of theboat because pythagoras said....' OR 'kids, tommorow I shall mix the H2O with the Carbonmonablabla with a splashing of (whatever the chemical formula of eggs is) and voila we shall have pancakes!'....My point=make education practical. Something that I'm glad is finally going to happen. If I dream of being a pilot, allow significant amount of time in the curriculum to have me hanging around hangers and cockpits and yes the lwas of gravity would be useful for this guys BUT if all I want to be in life is a music producer, what does Pythagoras or the law of bouyancy have to do with my ability to churn out a tune?! Enuff already..I'm truly looking forward to the new curriculum..seeing as its in my career interest to orient myself with all things educational...A sigh of relief is being breathed here by this soul..big ups to the guys behind this manouver and hoping it does take off...
What's that they say, render to the the scientists what is Pythagoras's and to the artisitic minds what is Picasso's!
