Happy new month

Its July already! May God bless you abundantly this month. I have only a few months left here in Sweden, before I move again. The next move won't be so scary because now I know (or remember) what to expect in a strange place without friends or family but I won't be with any of my colleagues or friends so that's a bit more daunting.

I'm trying to give my blog some sort of structure. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays will be for three different kinds of posts and the last Friday of the month will be a bumper monthly edition of Blogsville Gist. Yes...No? I know I have been slacking. So starting next Monday my new regime begins. Also I intend to get a new camera in August, so watch out for the revival of my photoblog and I pray my camera lasts longer this time.

London has experienced some attempted terror attacks over the weekend, thank God it hasn't been a disaster or as bad as it could have been. Blogsville Idol is over. Congratulations to Dscribe!! Congratulations to Calabargirl on her first race!! Check out London Buki's Mummy mondays. Happy Birthday Cheetera thunder cat!

I was bored yesterday so I decided to take a walk to the waterfront not far from my house. I sat on a bench and just watched the world go by, picked up my pen and a pad and tried to write about it

Pass me by

The bridge on the water, to my left
Sunbathers on the grass, to my right
Traffic blocked by trees, a stones throw behind
The river, calm, grey, a stones throw ahead of me

Green shorts jogging...short shorts
Pink sleeve and blue sleeve...lovers intertwined
Grey Jacket sleeve around black Pancho....elderly
Red sexy heels and black classy shoes...brisk, must be late
Squeaky trainers...must be wet
Green buggy pushed by hairy arms in brown sleeves...
Shaggy black dog...growling
Blonde, blonde and blonde...giggling
Baggy pants, skinny jeans
Yellow bicycle...medium speed
Sailing boat...yellow cross on a blue flag

Gentle breeze, with a slight chill
Water breaking on the rocks at the bank
Peace, calm, serenity.

Song playing: Sam bori bobo by Saucekid. IT'S NAIJAAAAAAAA! For you...Samboribobo ;)

It's always nice to sit and watch d world in pass in slow motion. You can actually see the beauty in little tins u walk by everyday and also feel the love in nature's gift we often let slip our eyes. Goodluck as u prepare for ur new location.

TMinx said...

@Nyemoni, Same you and your family 'Moni!
@LB, er not this time, lol
@LB, don't let me wosee (how is it spelt) you! I tried to make you listen to it two months ago but you would rather listen to King Sunny Ade. As for being famous, you are just so silly :).
@nikkisab, its not for a few months yet but thanks :). It was nice to just be an observer.

I need to try that sometime, slow down, not always in a rush. Im pretty amazed how you were able to convey what you saw with what you felt about it. And yes I am talking about the same poem you wrote. I wonder where the next stop is, I hope its closer to my end.lol. The end is indeed in sight, give or take many months..lol. but Im glad you are definately making the best of it. I need to take a leaf out of your book.

I too need to go get me a camera. But since Im quite rubbish at taking picture, I wonder what I will take. Whenever I vist Places I only take pictures of roof and buildings, can u imagine. You would think Im an architect. I remember my trip to Gausau, I ended up with like 200 pictures of different building and snow..lol..

anyhows, happy new monthe too. And stay blessed.

Boorish Male said...

that song is funny!samboribobo..LAWL

Track Title: 3x5 (three by five)
Artist: John Mayer
Album: Room for squares
Track No.: 8

This song totally encapsulates what realy transpires within the human mind while being transfixed by enchanting sights of nature and her miniature offsprings. It explains why this unknown beauty can only be experienced physically, with the EYES, but hardly with words, illustrations, pictorials, or even a thousand pixel snap shots.
Its a brilliant brillant one, so please please give it a listen, Everyone!

@ im a babe..

That's what Hiphop is all about. Its the Culture. The trend is almost identical with that of the american hip-hopers as well. They come fresh with dirt from their slumbs in the burbs straight to the mic, and all you can hear is how they have thousand dollar diamonds for breakfast, sleep in ruthlessly priced mobils, and command respect everywhere else they may find their sorry asses, its the lifestyle, one which mostly thrives on Fantacies, cloudy dreams, mirage ideologies and illuminated illusions, its always been that way.
So sweets, if you thirst for truths, take a spin on inspirational/gospel stuff, i bet they come in rap genres these days.
