Hahaha... so I only just blogged about Banky W a few days ago and now he's gone and done an Umbrella 'Remix' as sung by Rihanna. In regards to the original song, I always liked the beat but that was about it... Plus that woman's humongous forehead is just so damn distracting.
So anyhoo, I guess Banky W celebrates his Naija(Nigerian) roots in this song by talking about how he reps Naija regardless of where he is, be it Yankee(America) or Jand(England)... and other places 'near or far'. Then the bridge is pretty much saying we all rep Naija regardless of our places of origin (Kaduna, Anambra etc etc).
The song is cute and back in Naija I would have called it slightly razz with the whole Ebute Metta thing. It's also quite creative as there are some word plays e.g. You can cross rivers in Calabar... Calabar is the capital of Cross Rivers state. You can so rock down in Abuja... Aso Rock is located in Abuja.
The ending is kinda corny with the whole unity/wazobia thing but I guess every song should have a message.
But it's catchy and even though the lyrics are very simple and repetitive, it's still a fun rendition... and it's not like it's supposed to be taken seriously. I guess this is what happens when Banky is just playing (read: procrastinating) in the studio.
Here's the song: Ebute Metta

Follow me...
... why do I love the songs that aren't singles? I think I love Usher more than I realized. This is Follow Me from his Confession's album. This is just a clip of his performance on tour.
Thursday, June 21, 2007
Can't believe I never posted this...
... in my blog. But it's all about Banky W. Some might know him from his underground hit, "My Regret," but I believe he's promoting his new song, "Capable." It's still R&B but it's got a Naija(Nigerian) flavor.
Capable This is a fanmade video, by the way.
My Regret Official video
Majekodumni is another song off his upcoming album. It also has a Naija flavor and the video is fanmade. Majekodunmi means "Don't hurt me" in Yoruba.

I need to write something...
... just anything! Something! Anything! Otherwise, I'll end up abandoning this story and I don't want to because the end is so damn cute! Too bad I'll have to write about 30 chapters to get there first. GRRRRRRRR
Plus, I'm way too distracted by Queen of the Game. The drama is pretty damn good and fast paced. Plus the male lead is too sexy for words. I want to have a 'conversation' with him. Yum.

Same girl... by R.Kelly and Usher
I don't know why there's so much hoopla about this song... not that special. And the video is even dumber.
Tell me where...
So I was just thinking of creating a soundtrack to go with the new story I am working on called, "The Consequences of You and Me."
Anyhoo, so I really wanted to add this song I absolutely adore but it just doesn't fit the storyline. Oh well...
It's called "Tell Me Where" off Tevin Campbell's "Back to the World" album and it's just awesome. I love Tevin.

I love this song... and the movie of the same name but since youtube decided to delete my account, I've reuploaded it elsewhere and this time I've added subs. :)
Let's make love underneath a waterfall...
I don't know why I love these sexual songs... what's wrong with me? :D
But this is one of my fav songs off Joe's "My Name Is Joe" album.
It's called, 563 (Joe)

Although I constantly...
... have mixed feelings about posting on Soompi, I think that one great thing that has come out of it is discovering that I love writing YA fiction.
I've always loved High School movies and all that great stuff but when I think back to all I've written, even though I've pretty much liked all I've come up with, I think I've probably loved the YA stuff a tad more.
Or maybe not loved it more but found them easier to write? So I wonder if this is about laziness or about enjoying it more. I don't know.
But when I think of my multi-chap The O.C. fics, The Search for Seth Cohen was probably the most fun to write. And it was the only YA one.
When I think of the stories I wrote for NE, A Christmas At Home was the most fun to write.
And as per the Soompi stuff, I don't know... lol, they were all fun to write. So yeah, maybe YA is where it's at for me. So with this new self-discovery, hopefully, I'll find it in me to start working on my new story. I already anticipate having a lot of fun writing it, but the fun begins in the middle where the story really takes off. I guess I'm being a bit lazy about writing the intro.
That's probably what I miss most about writing fanfiction because with original fiction, you have to come up with a background and all that great stuff. I love to just jump in and write all the good stuff.
Bleh. I am so lazy.

Me too. And remember what I told you about MSN messenger? I’m sure it’s already downloaded on your school computer. Sign up now!

Gosh, could you be more boring? How about something more creative like chinoreject@hotmail.com? Why does it have to look all grown-up and responsible? Anyway, I’m sure you guessed that mine is pinkpainter@hotmail.com. I’ll add you now.

Chinoreject@hotmail.com? Anna, you’re really not as funny as you think. Besides, I didn’t know email addresses were supposed to be exciting. What does pinkpainter mean anyway? You don’t even want to know what I’m picturing right now.

I bet it’s something dirty. And don’t. Pinkpainter for many reasons:
1) I think the world would be a much better place if everyone could "think pink."
2) It’s kind of a play on Pink Panther. I love cartoons and I’m an artist so, PinkPainter.
Anyway, gatta go now – it’s time to learn about enzymes and other irrelevant things.
P.S.
I am too as funny as I think.

“Have a good class?” Ah… humor. I don’t really paint. I mean I paint sometimes, but I’m more of a free hand sketcher. But pinkdrawer just doesn’t have the same ring.
I’m bored, entertain me. Tell me something funny.

You want me to entertain you? Damn, you must really be bored. And I’m sure I’d tell you something funny if Seth wasn’t standing behind me, waiting to use the computer to IM Summer all day long. Oh, did I neglect to tell you that at this very moment, he’s talking to her on the phone? So they are going to spend the rest of the day talking and IMing each other. It’s a little nuts.
P.S.
When do I get to see these drawings?

How many times am I going to tell you that everything is cool? As you know, when I returned from Chino, she was already dating someone else and everything’s been cool since then. What about you, how are you doing?

Okay, something funny. So in soccer practice, this guy and I ran into each other. Although I think it’s more accurate to say he slammed into me. But instead of falling down, I barely moved, while he fell to the ground. It was almost like I was a brickwall or something. It was the weirdest thing.

Firstly, I should have visited bored.com before asking you to entertain me. But about the wall thing, what kind of iron have you been pumping? And how come you’re never on MSN?

He’s doing much better and says he wants to kiss you. Seriously. Uhm, I don’t mean that he wants to seriously kiss you or anything, he’s just grateful.
On another note…
Don’t cry but Swifty is getting neutered this weekend.

He keeps humping every and anything. If he keeps this up, my aunt’s leg is going to have its own puppies. And you know what? I think it’s more humane this way. Swifty is so miserable.

Don’t be silly. Why get it from Seth when you can get it from me?
My private room #: 412 232 9032
My cell # : 412 877 9039
Don’t give my cell # to Seth. He tends to disregard the time difference so after a certain time I turn my ringer off. I knew better than to give him my cell phone # when I finally changed it. And you can call me anytime.

I love Google docs!
Really, I do!
I was looking to .pdf the fics I'd completed on soompi because I really don't like the idea of Word documents floating around because they can be easily manipulated. Anyhoo, I don't have Adobe distiller but you can just upload your documents onto google docs and save as PDF. I LOVE THAT!
Yay! I believe they are working on a powerpoint type program as well. Google really wants to kick Microsoft's ass, doesn't it? lol.

Can someone, somewhere...
... make me write? Lol... I posted my prologue to inspire me to start writing but it aint happening. Hopefully tomorrow *fingers crossed*
I shouldn't have taken a break for like 3 weeks - it's so not good for me. But the good thing is I've finally worked the plot out... well, the beginning and the end. And the middle, I guess, although I haven't yet written them down (on my outline).

lol... so I'm totally going to start a new story...
... I'll probably start writing tomorrow. It'll be a coming-of-age kind of story. YA romance/drama, not really comedic though. I'm pretty excited :D
Monday, June 4, 2007
Hmm... so after having a pity party last night...
... this morning, I went into work and a coworker told me that her husband is a published writer and if I'm interested, I should hook up with him and learn a bit about publishing. Hmm... I think I'll take her up on her offer. I don't know about the long pieces but I wouldn't mind showing him some of the shorter things (after a little tweaking).
Then WFF received two comments today. Not much to some people but a lot to me :D LOL... I guess some people are still reading. So I guess it's not yet time to quit writing. hahaha.

I'm about to go to bed...
... and I really feel like saying sayonara to writing. All I've spent my day doing is examining why the hell I bother to write. Why I waste all that time and energy doing this. What's the pay off? And why do I suck? :( Jeez. I think it's time for me to just quit. I think I'll feel better...
It's funny how I've been writing for a while but have never been as discouraged as I've been this past year. *sigh* I should have just stopped at writing my The O.C. fanfic and the few things I did for NE. At worst, I should have stopped at Finding A Bridge. Wrong Foot First was a huge ass mistake. I never should have written it. I wish I could take it back and delete it from existence but I'm trying not to be my usual self by doing something drastic. I'll try to sleep on it for a week. If I don't feel better, it's chop, chop, chop time!

ARGH!
I feel like starting a new story now and I've already written my outline and worked out the kinks. I guess I'm really just discouraged now. Maybe because I'm not looking forward to all that writing and also to spending all that time writing then seeing it tank and sink after I've finished it. :( Plus for some reason, I feel like there's something really unappealing about my writing. blech.
Maybe I should spend this 'funk' taking a serious look at publishing. A 'life coach' came to work and spoke to us about time management and I guess from her talk, I feel I really need to get off my butt and try to make things happen.
Hopefully the planets will align and something good will happen. *crosses fingers*
EDIT:
I just re-read what I wrote. I think my writing is unappealing but I want to go ahead and look into publishing? WTF? I need my head examined... lol, I think it's just the funk talking. I'll be better in a week or two... I hope. Or maybe I'll finally get my head out of the sand and be realistic about my ability. lol. Whatever, men.
