Hip Hop

There are points at which my mind wanders everywhere and this is just one of those days. It keeps popping out unexpected questions to me like what would i do if i was king for one day? Hmmmmm! That is subject to debate of another time because the list is endless, Eish! I aint no greedy! Another creepy question it lead me to was what if i was a millionaire over night? I mean it all depends from which country i was to be a millionaire....yes that is crucial. The point is simply,I love it when my mind escapes to that point where it is just me, fantasy land. It is like the most peaceful and satisfactory place to be. No one else is allowed to live in my fantasy land other than me. Welcome to my mind!


I will tell you the cause of me snapping back to my world at this point and hour of the day.I am sitting on the couch idly crunching away some pop corns i had made for guests who never made it, the problem with such guests is that they waste your time and productivity. They do not call to cancel their dates but they never make it all together. Now that am thinking about it, none of them made it and am beginning to think "conspiracy".They conspired against me and they had it all figured out........... Brats! Am glad they never made it anyway. I am sitting there doing nothing and then my mind wanders, no visualizes,let me get the better term. You see wandering means aimlessly,but my mine wanders aim fully. Is there even such a word? Can you actually believe that I am dating Brad Pitt? What do you mean the movie star??? Of course the movie star. There is only one Brad Pitt in the world,and if there is any other they are copy cats. So am dating Mr.Pitt on this very moment,do not die of jealous, he just happened to dump Angelinna Jollie right in front of my very face and took off with me! Yeah right! You see,this is the power of fantasy,the power of mind wandering and it gets better when you get to like share it with the rest of mankind.I am not expelling the fact that 10% of them will dismiss and even laugh,this is when you wonder what is so amusing?The reality is that all these are events and events take place! It does not matter where they take place from so Shut Up and stop laughing!


My point is,the power of imagination can make it reality. If you visualize something for so long,it actually becomes a reality.I am not saying that i would get to date Brad Pitt, Ah Yew! He is just not my type. What?? You want to know what my type is? The type of man i would date has not yet been born and Brad Pitt is out of my league, Way out of it! Don't get me twisted! I have been writing since i was 13 years old. Can you actually believe that i don't even have any kind of material published???? I wonder where iI have been.I have dreams and imaginations pf being a best seller one of the damn fine days. I will get there.I can not explain what is stopping me but the time is just not right. Just the other day i had the pleasure of meeting Ishmael Berger, former Sierra Leone war child and best selling author and i was dying of envy. No no, envy from admiration. Don't get me wrong, i just want to write and let the world appreciate my art work. Its not about the fame and the money, even though they will always be part of it,but the inspiration behind it and watching the world embrace my creativity,my art with grammar and words, with of course my power of mind at the steering wheel. This will be like the corner stone and height of it all. Just where i would want to be. You see in life it is not always about luck but about finding one self. I always tell my little girl that there is no beter feeling in the world other than achieving one's child hood dreams. Its more like marrying the boy or girl you had a crush on when you were like 13 years old. It feels like winning an award or trophy. Talking of crushes, I once had the opportunity of dating this guy i had a crush on while i was 13 at 23. can you believe this nigga had a crush on me too??? For that long he had wanted me and he just never knew what to say??? Amazing Life! Why didn't he just walk over and say to me "hey i like you?" I personally still don't understand it but those are just details. Me and Hip Hop,never quite stayed in the relationship. I discovered that he had a bad breath and ............... any way that was not the main cause of the break up.I discovered that i just could not stand this guy i had fantasies of for like forever....Does forever ever exist??????? You tell me!!

Myldongo Press: TODAY!!!!

Myldongo Press: TODAY!!!!: "I wondered what next for me????? Its like the world suddenly froze for a minute or so before i could get out of my stupor. I wok..."

TODAY!!!!

I wondered what next for me????? Its like the world suddenly froze  for a minute or so before i could get out of my stupor.  I woke up this morning feeling a little bit ish-ish. I could not explain what it was, i was, feeling any way but whatever it was made me determined to pull through it. Can you believe that i cleaned the entire house??? I could not believe it either, not that i do not do any chores, but I hate doing this particular one. It makes me sick!!! "Maybe i am dying today"! just a thought.

As usual I was punctual.I am not bragging but I am one of the most punctual beings. lets just say that i know the essence of keeping up with time. Do i really??? Well...... those are just details. I sat in the reception and some kind of familiarity came flooding back to me, "the I have been there before kind of feeling". I stared at the floor blankly. What would this day be like ?? a breaking point or a starting point, i could not help bit wonder....... Damn!!!! I hate suspense. Why couldn't God just whisper the future to me? Hold on a minute is there anything like FUTURE??? I have never seen the future in the many years that i have had the privilege to live. Anyway that is not the point, the point is subject of today.

"Number five", I heard a voice. I pulled out of my reverie..... "that was number". I stood up and walked to this room with only two guys,i was the third and damn it felt full. My stomach danced and did a grumble. I instantly became hungry. I had just had a  full cup of coffee,no sorry it was two  cups of them,black and strong, that is how i take it, my coffee of course. I sat down. i forced a smile on my rather serious face,on a different platform you wouldn't dare smile at me. "How are you today Mildred?" Both the judges greeted me with a cheery attitude that made me freak. I had to force the same "cheery"attitude. You see I am not exactly used to smiling or even being all friendly but i just had to pretend because i knew they were faking it too. I mean they were doing there job and were here to judge me,so.........

"Am fine." still smiling,i felt like my face was getting old due to the smiling. I stared away. The glaring,tantalizing pairs of eyes tried to read me.I don't know what was the first impression that i had made and probably would never know but i blushed and looked away. You see the point is that am kind of shy...... Yes i am.... Why are you looking at me with those kind of eyes? Is it a crime to be shy? I think every one is at some point considering when you have like people who are there to rate you or try and analyze who you are.

"I have been a filmmaker in my own world" That was my opening statement.powerful statement indeed but i grew numb when i was asked to elaborate my point...... my head went blank. You see the problem with being a writer is that you can explain yourself well in written words only and thus my failure of words to say. I am not trying to justify me but admitting that I have a weakness. Audible words. So as am sitted here typing my words away,my future lies at stake somewhere. In the hand of two perfect strangers is where a future,as is said, lies in balance........ Auuuuuugh!!! Cant this day be done with already............

LOOK AT ME NOW!

Look at me now, I am giving change a shot and it has been hard,

Look at me now, But the road has not been a smooth one either,

Look at me now, I started right here and hoped it would get somewhere,

How many dark nights have I known?

I am changing, I am changing!

Look at me now, Trying every way that I can to be better

 with every little thing I got,

Look at me, I am hoping to make it, and I know I can now,

Look at me now, because this time I am getting my life right,

Who said I could do it alone?

I am changing, I am changing!      

Walking down that road, there was nothing I could find,

How many friends have I lost along the way?

All these years darkness has made me blind,

But who said I could not be a better brand?

Look at me now I am changing, I am changing!

A BRAND NEW TOMORROW

                      

Take a moment, look around,

Listen to the chilling sounds,

The agony of a ghetto child,

The pain of a battered child,

In this hell that is called a world we live.

Children suffer in the slums,

Parents neglect them everywhere,

Society and world forget they exist

To whom do they turn for their needs?

To whom do they turn today for advice?

Maybe tomorrow,

We shall wake up to see,

A brand new world beginning,

A world that is kind and free,

One that cares for one and all,

Thanks to you Hot Sun Foundation,

Our donors and well wishers,

Our tomorrow has been made better by you,

I smile, while walking , head  held high,

Thanking God and knowing my future has been solidified.

The last stride home

Clearly this is so deep i dont know where to begin. Is there anything like a coincidence in this life???? I think everyone in my life is here with a purpose from the creator.

I begin the story of a young girl struggling to become someone in the community. A decade has passed her by and there has been plenty lost. But Allegra is not the kind of person to loose hope. This is her story:

Allegra sighs,so much has gone on and she is wheather beaten. Of what sense has life been to her? She has had alot going on lately. "Maybe today........,today my sincere prayers shall be answered" She opens the door and the chilly morning crisp wind hit her face lightly. "Hmmmmmmm!" she sighs clutching her hand bag tightly on her shoulder as she closed the door behind her and begun descending on the stairs one by one. She was late again,she checked her watch,five minutes. She hastened her strides.

Ten minutes later she was at the reception of the sales and marketing company. The reception seemed to be crowded, her stomach tightened. The competion seemed to be huge. She scanned the room face full of envy. "One of us is going to take that coveted position." she thought jelously. The reception was full and hot. She could feel her skin burn and itch. A thin line of sweat broke in her fore head...........................
