Playing in the big league




L.A.Z.Y!! That's my excuse for taking so long to write anything for the past 2 months.I have had so much to say but  so little motivation to just put it out there.I have had so many "i don't feel like it" moments when i just don't feel like writing anything.But the lazy spell was finally broken a few days ago when i heard a really old song (it's not that old ,like 16years ago ).
I honestly got goosebumps listening to it... a rap song with classical music in it!I don't know if am the only person who experiences this, but i can always trace the timeline of my life according to songs that i used to hear at a that particular point in my life.Just give me a song and the events of my life will easily come flashing through my mind .These songs are like a time-machine for me, always taking me back to everything and anything that's considered a memory.
Enough about my special time-travelling skills,let me talk about what this song did to me! I was hooked on just 4 simple lines of this song,



"life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big heart
some of us gotta run a little faster cause we gotta later start
but I'd be a fool to surrender 
when I know I can be a contender"

Coolio:"C u when i get there"
 The song is like a collection of stories told through a rap and the classical piece in it just "kills" me with the violins!!!Even though am not doing  a review about the song i would give it a 9 out of 10(justsaying). 
I kept thinking about these words until i wrote this down:
Life is like playing in the big leagues.
The expecatations, 
hopes,dreams,goals, 
disappointments,sacrifice, the succeses and failures are all part of the game.
The rules are simple;keep living and you will be halfway to winning the game.
Everyone plays a different postion in the team,  
everyone has their own unique values to add to the world. 
And in every game there will always be an opposing team, and therefore with life it's inevitable to face all sorts of setbacks and opposition.All it takes to finally win the game is to keep playing,don't just play the game, play it with heart!It's a big league, so play it with a big heart.

The Man That Made Me Believe In Impossibilities

How do I write about a man whose loud presence can’t be ignored? How do I begin to describe a man whose life should be written down in volumes of books, a man whose battles and achievements could literally make you wonder why you have never tried out that daredevil in you? A man whose blind faith and roaring spirit will leave you believing that anything is possible, as long as you just do it! I have never written down anything much about my father, mostly because words won’t do him justice and because you need to experience him to actually know who he is. He is tough, he is loud, he is sharp and witty, he never gives up and he is simply my papa. I know I will never get it right when it comes to the adjectives that could describe papa, mostly because he is more than words. He’s the man who’s taught me to live in the moment, because we can’t really trust the future. A man who’s taught me to be witty, because sometimes you have to outdo the book smarts to survive. A man who’s ta...

The good,the bad the ugly…the beautiful years of my life!

Happy new year!!!Two weeks down the line, and I still can’t predict how my 2013 will go down. I bet that’s the exciting part about new years( except from the annoying fact that I still   keep writing down the dates as 2012). Took me a while to write my first 2013 post,mostly cause I   had a cliché   idea of writing something about fresh starts,but I won’t take that turn.New year means a lot of things not just new beginnings, it’s also about rolling with the days as they come even when everything seems to stay the same, year in year out. Above all I can’t deny the fact that am alive, who knows what could have happened and nothing makes my heart more grateful   to my God for that blessing. So my first post this year is a lyrical piece written and   dedicated to my 2012 memories and 2013 ‘s unpredictable events. Two decades,that’s how long    I waited for you… If I could wait this long,then what could   possibly go wrong? I knew so...

Start Acting, Stop Typing

June, how I've waited for you! 23 days down with  30 minutes to spew out my thoughts to the world. Here we go... I never like to talk about my life in here, instead I only add the bits I feel would implicate me less in this era of  'hey guys, welcome to my channel'. As much as I want to keep things mysterious to spice up my online persona, I feel like a lot can go wrong with an audience that hides behind screens. I would rather take my chances on being as evasive as possible. Yes, I'm admitting  to my cowardice.  However, I will defend my stance by saying that whatever thoughts I type in here, are rarely inspired by my own life. Rather, they have everything to do with how I perceive the world (people/places/things/ANYTHING)  around me. That's the inspiration. What I hide  is under lock and key in  a mind vault labelled "PRIVATE, for Yvette's crazy thoughts only". The world around me and how I would like to change it through the words I share is wh...
