"I BET to Differ OR I BEG to Differ"




Whichever phrase is politically correct, who cares?
I saw the Michael Jackson Tribute on the Grammy
And I must say I love it, I'm impressed, for a lot of reasons
I know some people were expecting the typical break dance, pop locking stuff
but like i said earlier that would have been typical of a Michael Jackson tribute
and i don't believe thats all he was about
So thats not all he should be remembered for and that shouldn't be the only way to perform a tribute to him. Michael Jackson was deep, the words of his songs are touching, its good to see that reflect in a performance, especially one to respect the guy.
So Kudos Grammy for being different, for not following the trend, THUMBS UP!

Lola Coker... Betty Crocker?

Am I the new Betty Crocker?
Absolutelty Not!
But I do find my love for cooking to be rather surprising,
For so long, I had been such a perfectionist, scared to make mistakes, to mess up any craft, afraid of what people might say, the criticism that will cripple me. WEIRD RITE?
The people who seem to know me believe "My I dont care" attitude is due to the fact that I really dont care, well for the most part I dont. But when it comes to things that matter and can be graded, I seem to care a whole lot because I dont wanna be a failure.
GET BACK ON TRACK...
Ok so i have been cooking a lot lately and I realize I really love it
Something about filling up people's belly with delight, makes me feel proud of myself
And I'm not gonna stop here, this is just the beginning
AM I GOING TO CULINARY SCHOOL?
Nope, Absolutely not, I cook because i love it, I enjoy it,
Its therapeutic and it makes people satisfied,
I cook to make myself and the people around me happy
I feel like if i start doing it professionally or "SERIOUSLY"
I would start to hate it, the pressure will drain all the joy out of me,
I might resent cooking!
SO WHAT DO I COOK?
A variety, I am a firm believer that "Variety is the spice of life"
And I also grew up with diversity
I love to try new things and this is perfect because i have tried making just about anything that pops into my head, and many more will come, and I will conquer all of them =)
Last night was a successful coconut shrimp dish, Lets see what today will bring ;)

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own even if she never wants
to or needs to…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her
dreams wants to see her in an hour…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …
a youth she’s content to leave behind….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
a past juicy enough that she’s looking forward to
retelling it in her old age….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …..
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black
lace bra…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
one friend who always makes her laugh… and one who
lets her cry…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone
else in her family…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a
recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honored…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
a feeling of control over her destiny…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
how to fall in love without losing herself..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
HOW TO QUIT A JOB,
BREAK UP WITH A LOVER,
AND CONFRONT A FRIEND WITHOUT RUINING THE FRIENDSHIP…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
when to try harder… and WHEN TO WALK AWAY…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
that she can’t change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
that her childhood may not have been perfect…but it’s over…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
what she would and wouldn’t do for love or more…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
how to live alone… even if she doesn’t like it…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
whom she can trust,
whom she can’t,
and why she shouldn’t
take it personally…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
where to go…
be it to her best friend’s kitchen table…
or a charming inn in the woods…
when her soul needs soothing…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
what she can and can’t accomplish in a day…
a month…and a year…

I'm Not Surprised
Not Everything Lasts
I've Broken My Heart So Many Times,
I Stop Keeping Track.
Talk Myself In
I Talk Myself Out
I Get All Worked Up
And Then I Let Myself Down.

I Tried So Very Hard Not To Loose It
I Came Up With A Million Excuses
I Thought I Thought Of Every Possibility

And I Know Someday That It'll All Turn Out
You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid That I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

Mmmmm ....

I Might Have To Wait
I'll Never Give Up
I Guess It's Half Timing
And The Other Half's Luck
Wherever You Are
Whenever It's Right
You Come Out Of Nowhere And Into My Life

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Baby Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Possibility

Mmmmm ......

And Somehow I Know That It Will All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

They Say All's Fair
And In Love And War
But I Won't Need To Fight It
We'll Get It Right
And We'll Be United

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Being In Your Life Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Single Possibility

Mmmm .....

And Someday I Know It'll All Turn Out
And I'll Work To Work It Out
Promise You Kid I'll Give More Than I Get
Than I Get Than I Get Than I Get

Oh You Know It'll All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid To Give So Much More Than I Get
Yeah I Just Haven't Met You Yet

I Just Haven't Met You Yet
Oh Promise You Kid
To Give So Much More Than I Get

I Said Love Love Love Love Love Love Love .....
I Just Haven't Met You Yet
Love Love Love .....
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

* So its one of those days for me I guess, and Now I'm inspired!

My Cliche Intro...

Typically people have an introduction to their blog, this is where you state the ABC of the blog. Well i have been a secret blogger for a while now, and i have decided to create a public blog... WHY? Well i was sitting in my women studies class and some questions started popping into my head and i realized i wanna know what people think. No this is not gonna be a feminist blog, Phew thats a relief isn't it. This blog will raise discussions in various diasporas, i welcome comments, views and opinions but please do so with respect, Thank You!

First discussion topic:
Some may argue that the greatest chefs today are men, but didn't women invent cooking; develop and introduce the world to recipes?

Along the way I decided that "undefination" is a good thing, randomness is a necessity, so this is me, as I am. Life is all about perspective, So this is MINE!
