7 things about Jo

7 comments


1.I care about what people (will) think.

This is one of the bad aspects that I am really trying hard to shake off and sometimes I tend to do the opposite and do stuff regardless of what people think or want. And that makes it even worse coz then I end up giving them something to talk about. Bottom line is...I hate it when I feel forced to comply to what others want...but sometimes its a means to an end, and thats when I have to swallow my pride...

2.I am an escapist.

Yes, I have to own up to this. I always find myself procrastinating or doing something else " that is more fun, than what I am supposed to be doing.Example, I am blogging right now, when there are a million other things that I should be doing...like working on my 3d model on skecth-up, or drafting my plans, sections, elevations and perspectives or that 2500 word essay on architectural theories that's due in 2weeks time and I haven't even started on the research!
See, that right there is escapism and am a class -act extermist when it comes to it, but jeez, give a girl a break!Its not last minute yet...see another one of my flaws...

3.Coz I got high...

Now like the Aegeus, I get high on music, even without having had any fuel (pints) to precipitate it.Most of the time when I go out clubbing, I will be the ice -breaker on the dance floor and katika like there is no tomorrow. The best experience I have had so far is this one time when I got to the dance floor and there was house music and rock playing and I just got this humongous music connection with some white dude and we chucked moves for each other that left everyone on the floor gasping for more. At the end of the night we thanked eached other for such a whole-some random experience. I tell you, I can only sum it up as priceless! , and it wasn't even about g.r.i.n.d.i.n.g...,though there was a lot of energy in the air fit to ignite a small fire!

4.I hate gossips.

Everyone who knows me knows that I hate vybing about other people. But I love talking about myself! Am sure that doesn't count. Hakuna kitu kaa gossiping about ya-self au?!

5.I love to keep a low profile.

Like most people, I have an inner wild-child that is always fighting to be unleashed, but those who know me well enough, know that I also like keeping a low profile. This is because I sometimes can be mistaken for being a bit big-headed...lakini when you are a pro like that...i guess you can't help it!But seriously, I try to,...very hard.

6.I refrain from judging people too fast.

I don't judge people by first-impressions.This is a good thing, but sometimes I have been taken for a ride*(seen as gullible) by some people who think that I don't know what they are up to.When their actions start speaking louder than their words, I duly bail out!

7.Philosophy that I live by: I am a work in progress...

As a teenager, I never fully appreciated myself.I had deep self-esteem issues which made me shy away from interactions, or even stand up for myself. But with time all that has changed, and although am still not too outspoken, I know that am a force to reckon with in my own calm and collected premise.I read in between the lines and most of the time I am prudent.

@ Aegeus: You only asked for 7; you only get what you ask for!

Boys Vs. Men and a Little Free-Spiritism

3 comments

This is one of those posts where the pre-conceived ideas are a little murky so its just gonna have to find itself as it unwinds.You know some people are also like that in this day and age, and isn't it a sad affair coz just seem to flow with whatever's happening, go where the wind blows and all- by the way am not talking about free-spirited peeps, at least they know what their purpose in life is! Free-spirits make it their goal to live their life un-inhibited by any kind of constraints and without any moral obligations.-wiki.
One of my girl-friends dropped one of her dudes the other day because he was one of those dudes who was constantly undecisive and always left it up to other people to make up his mind for him. He was not a man, but just a boy...his social life revolved around the boys, they dictated how his day was going to unwind, meanwhile his chille was over there left hanging in the cold.He never usually ever came up with any social activity that was meant to involve only the two of them...so with that said...dude was dropped despite his desperate pleas of, ' I'll change....'
This reminds me of John Legend's song, I can change.." especially these lines,


I'll give up all the places I used to go
Stay out the club
Stay home because I'm with you
I'll give up all those girls that I used to know
They don't compare
Baby I swear it's the truth (you know it's the truth baby)
So I'm through with the women
Yeah that's right.I give up on the pimpin'
Girl I'm gonna repent from my sinnin'
If that's what you want me to do
I'll get right if you want it
Go to church
Get baptized if you want it
Girl you opened my eyes and I'm gonna
Be much better for you
Baby believe me
Baby believe me


Well, the truth of the matter is, a guy can change only if he wants to and not just coz someone else wants him to...so, no matter how good his chic looks like, or how mind-blowing the shag is...he will only change for her if he really loves her.

I also believe that there is always that particular person that's meant for someone, not soulmate, but just their ideal companion...and when they find each other...the world seems to make more sense.

Anyway that aside, and I don't wanna come off as some bitter bitch...but I have refer to "Like A Boy"... on the sole basis that am feeling this ngoma for its bomping, and ciara looks so sa-waah!
Like A Boy Lyrics:
Wish we could switch up the roles
And I could be that...
Tell you I love you
But when you call I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me?...
Like where you be at?Cause I'm out 4 in the morning
On the corna rolling, Doing my own thing...Ohh
What if I?...Had a thing on the side?
Made ya cry?
Would the rules change up?...
Or would they still apply?...
If I played you like a toy?...
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy.

Now that I don't wanna leave the "boys" thinking that this was pure hateration...
I will leave you with a capture of luuuvvvvvvvvvv, and peace!

As I digress much further, coz I can feel some dudes preparing ammo coz of this post, I just found out that I have only 6.16Gb of music to brag about while one of my "buddies", The Aegeus was recently boasting about his "100Gb and still growing collection of music." Naskia ka-waruuuuuu!

Enyewe, am spell-bound. When I kuja back to Kenya, I'm a girl with a mi-shoni: to INVADE your itunes music and 'nyak' all the tunes it has to offer! Aegeus...you have been warneD!

Then again to add insult to injury, I have all the crappy songs the Sister Scissors (band-name derived from a sex-style!) , have to offer to the world, except the one that I love listening to on radio, I don't feel like dancing...

So itunes, here I come! Doo-di-la-ding!
