The blog of the week award has to go to SkyGuitar’s News Today blog as it always gives me a lift and and a laugh as I read it. I enjoy the with and humor of this blog as well as all the fascinating news and facts that are spread across the pages of this zany blog. A lot of thought and effort has gone into writing this News Blog and why it is different from other news blogs is that is gives such a unique twist to some really col and very unusual news items.
Along with the very unorthodox news stories you will also get tales of regular news stuff but in a very unusual and personal format which makes this bpg such a fantastic read.
I will always visit this blog so I hope SkyGuitar always keeps it going as it is definitely one of my top reads and the latest post I think many of us can identify with as it is to do with the Global Economic Crisis and some doom and gloom bits to make us feel even better lol. If you haven’t already taken a peak at this blog then you should do as soon as you get a minute. You won’t regret it believe me. Oh I have to also apologize to my Lovely readers for being off for a few days but we are busy moving to Vancouver in search for a job and a better life, yes you guessed it because the Economy sucks and Hubby can’t find a job in Toronto! So please visit my fantastic Friend’s blog and make my day.
I am thinking about Valentine’s day and wondering what it all is about.
Well because we are both jobless and nearly running out of all our ready money I said to my Hubby to be that due to the fact that we don’t have any money to buy each other anything and our future is so uncertain I want to treasure every moment we have together and make each moment as precious and alive as possible.
So thi is my gift to my Hubby to be.
1. Never put him down and expose his weaknesses.
2. Never argue with him especially about minor or silly things, if we have some difference we will DISCUSS it.
3. Always consult with him on projects I might want to do as a sign of respect even though he just let’s me get on with it.
4. If things get really bad always to remember him and where ever we are remember that I am always going to be his wife in thought and deed.
5 When times are tough like now not complain but work with him to get the best out of it.
6. Cook him the best meal I can on a budget of five bucks.
7. Be loyal and faithful in thought and deed.
8. Have a good time with free entertainment like singing and dancing to Youtube vids, that’s free.
9. Always be open and honest with him but make sure I compliment hi at least once a day lol.
10.Always keep my chin up and never let anything get us down or between us.
This is my Valentine’s gift to the One I love as I don’t have anything of material value to present on this day.
We have each other and that is all that matters. Sorry I can’t help out some shop owners in this economic climate but my economy has reached melt down lol.
For over a day I couldn’t log in to my Entrecard and didn’t get a reply from support and thought that all my Entre dropping days were over but suddenly I just thought I would try again and there I was logged in to my EntreCard account.
I do hope my Friends will drop by and drop me a card but I will have to now catch up with loads of dropping as the day has gone by and I had to spend half of in resetting passwords because my whole windows was reset due to my not being able to log in to my Gmail. That had a terrible problem with it and it has happened to me twice. I had to twice reset my computer. I still don’t know what that problem is, if it is a virus that affects Google mail. I just don’t have a clue.
I do hope all my Entre Friends won’t forget me as I will start dropping by on them one by one until I reach my lovely three hundred again.
Happy Entre dropping and hope you don’t encounter the problems that I am facing from all corners at the moment. I can tell you straight that the last few weeks life ain’t been fun but all I can do is keep my chin up adn keep writing, even if my whole world falls apart around me, on my own definitely can’t stop it.
Good news though to celebrate having my Entrecard back I am giving away 100 Entrecard credits to 50 special people who read and take up this freebie offer.!! So snap up some free shares and Entrecredits today!
Well it has been a week of rough and tumble so I decided to chill and take time out doing the things I love most like singing. I forgot about the Global Economic Crisis a bit and totally indulged in singing one of my favorite songs which is Mory Kante’s Yeke Yeke which came about about 20 odd year ago but I never had the lyrics then and always wanted to learn how to sing it. I had African musician Friends but they didn’t come from Mali or Senegal but mainly from Central Africa so I never got that chance to sing other African music save in Yoruba or Swahili. I did learn a lot of Rai though as I had Algerian Friends too and Rai was big in France and still is and as many Algerians came to the U.K they brought Rai with them. I am a great Khaled and Mami Fan.
Anyway here is my rendition of Yeke Yeke by Mory Kante and I know it isn’t perfect but it helped me forget my troubles, hope it can bring a smile to you too.
In today’s economic climate it is very difficult to enliven culture and art. I see myself today deriorating culturally because 90% of my thoguht process is now switched on primarily to surviving and keeping a roof over my head.
i see a lot of artists like me who due to financial constraints have had to bury their artistic temperaments in order to do things that are just for general sustenance of the body. I do sometimes wonder though as I was thinking today, what about my sustenance for my Soul? Where is that coming from if I can’t feed it through artistic means?
Well I do have hope, hope and faith in a God that may one day bring me back to being my true self, but who knows if it will ever happen again in this lifetime. I wonder really how many people are drying p like a prune just like me at this very moment in time. How many are dying from the inside. Maybe this is it, the only art I am learning now is the art of dying.
President Barack Obama made a heart felt speech in the White House Prayer Room today when he engaged every one to view their faith as a form not only of developing a personal relationship with God but also that it is a moral obligation as a person of Faith to seek out Social Justice as a cause and develop empathy among one another. By engaging in dialogue he spoke of the intercession of God’s Grace. In other words if we learn to communicate with each other then God will pour down his Divine blessings and Grace on such an auspicious event.
If we truly want God in our lives then we have to develop at least a God like instinct in order to recognize God in all of our actions. How we speak, eat and above all inter act plays a role in the kind of God consciousness we may awaken in ourselves and above all help awaken in others. Empathy and Compassion are the real driving forces behind true or Divine Love. Without these two components Love can not flow through the Heart of Mankind.
It is time now for real change and Obama is helping to catapult real moral change from within the White House to the rest of the World. If any one can really succeed in the pursut of Happiness then it is definitely Barack Obama.
This week I have to ward Betchai as the Blogger of the Week for his wonderful photography that brings color and life into our sometimes Grey and mundane lives. We need to remember Nature as we often get wrapped up in a very plastic and technical world.

I adore this blog and love to visit it as often as I can.
