Pammy's Random Thoughts For The Week

Okay, this week has been kinda okay. Abeg, I no go disappear from blogger but I will try to keep my own personal stories out of this. How did they track me down? Well, seriously, if you have some of my info and you add two and two together, it is very easy to find me on blog ville. Sad but true.

Anyhoos,I really had nothing to share apart from my random thoughts:

1) Why do men need so much space in the subway? Okay, this happened on Monday (president's day), I got on the subway to make it in to meet friends in the city and there was a three way seat in the train. This girl was squeezing herself in one corner, while brother man had his leg wide open to cover two seats. I jejely told him to move make I sit down jare. He moved but he still left his legs wide open. I decided to look at other seats and I noticed the same thing - women squeezing themselves, Men having their legs wide open. What is up with that? Why do you think that is the case?

2) Why do women need so many shoes???? Okay, I remember back in the day, a good friend of mine could not let one week pass before buying a pair of shoes - I thought she was cuckoo but it seems that a lot of women suffer from that same ailment, myself included. Okay, Wednesday, I was coming home and I noticed a pair of SILVER nice shoes with heels in a store. I found myself transported into the shoe store, before I knew it, there I was cat walking with the shoes, with the shop owners saying yeah girl, you can walk it. As I put my hand in my wallet to bring out my card, God just stopped me with a, "are you sure you need an extra pair of shoes?". I was instantly healed and I realized that I did not need one. But seriously, what is it about shoes? When we feel depressed - shopping(shoes in particular), when we need a boost of endorphin (shopping = shoes) na wetin?????


3) This random thought was brought about by pyoo waters blog, as well as someone sending me that said BBC article mentioned in her blog. Why do we as women seem to get upset when men do that tss tsss tsss sound at us BUT we know that when we got up that morning - we dressed to impress. That jeans had to accentuate the accentuatables, the shirt had to ensure that the "lolo" a la Meiway showed in a very beautiful way. So are women just confused? I know I get upset but I have been asking myself that question.

4) What is African Music? This was brought about by a discussion on Sunday with someone based in the UK. I was playing some music by some African artist and he told me that music was not African music. Personally, I feel that present day younger people are erasing that line of only certain percussion instruments being played by a man in certain garbs with women often times semi clad being African music, they are opening the doors and allowing other influences into their music. Is that music still African? Or are they corrupted? So what is the new African Music?

5)Is it so wrong to have a chenene? I described in an earlier post from last year. A chenene is a no nonsense black woman, who has no problems speaking her mind with the associated eye rolling, finger snapping and neck twisting. I confess to bringing out that part of my personality twice. My sister was around at both times and she was AMAZED but I got MY way. So, what is wrong with ms chenene, I ask again??

6) I was talking to this woman the other day and her story just simply amazed me. I know that I talk about taking risks all the time. But normally, when I mention risk - I mean calculated risks in which you have a back up plan. This artist had an immeasurable amount of courage that she was able to move from her comfort zone to a place in which she knew almost no one and still create a name for herself. Seriously, I have been like WOW since I spoke to her. Can I do it? I don't know. Most Importantly can you? Read more about her by clicking here.
