friday night...stooping to conquer!

this is what my friday night was about, candles and music, a couple of reading, random picture taking(of the tables and chairs and my toenails...lol)phone calls...

i love candles, haven't done the whole meditation thing in ages, i started doing it when i was advised to start yoga to help with the hyper-mobility thingy, i couldn't care less with the yoga but i loved the calmness i felt.

so when i knew my night was going to be indoors, i looked in my drawer for candles but couldn't find any...i had used them all up and kept telling myself i'd get more. luckily i found some in a freebie pack i got from a 'true love magazine' workshop, two vanilla scented candles, i looked in an old hamper and there was one giant candle in it. just three but they did it for me. i love to light as many as i can, close my eyes and listen to some soothing music, norah jones, frank sinatra, micheal jackson, al greene, enya...a lil jazz(in no particular order)...you get the drift. and maybe a glass of wine,


most times i'm lying backwards on the exercise ball(which we never use for the real thing lol')
decided i wanted to take a picture of it...twas too dark so you wouldn't notice the stack of chocolate and my food craze of the moment, cheese and yogurt...yeap, cheese and yogurt, dont ask, i have no idea why my body wants the combination so bad.

this candle lit moments are usually my thinking moments.
my thought this day was 'quit the bullshit' and yes i know better and imma quit the bullshit, i ain't no super woman, i might do the whole Micheal jackson styled spin whenever i take one of those quizzes that ranks me as an 'independent woman at the top of her game', yes destinys child independent woman has been my theme song since forever, but beyonce sure got a man despite her Independence.time to smell the coffee here, i cant be jonsing while shes chilling.

so i'm stepping down from my throne of self sufficiency, i'm stooping down to conquer or rather i'm stooping down to let myself be conquered. i'm not going on a man hunt, no. i'll just make myself an easy prey(okay this doesn't sound right.) lets see, i'll just let my trail an easy one to track(whatever that means, you get the drift) leaving my mind open to possibilities(that's better said)
i'm tired of having lots of 'boyfriends', i want a BOYFRIEND! i want to go out for dinner with one of my own not 'one who wants to be' or 'one whos just a good friend"..lol.i could still be a power girl and be taken care of yeah? i can still stand on my own and yet have someone to lean on.....see i'm scared of love and the whole idea, i'm scared that i might end up discovering that i am human and not really a 'fantasy queen' who can fade out situations and jump into another imagery, my heart would eventually get broken because it ain't an illusion as i've imagined,and I'll be devastated, cos when i love it'd be one hell of a love i'm sure, so why the hell would he break my fragile heart?....maybe they thought of me when they said 'tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all'
my spirit is so willing but my body is weak.

so y'all get ready for the initial public offer of Fantasy queen, this conversion to a public limited company was reached after series of deliberations. offer open from now to when i get my mind back. first come basis considered here. juveniles. joint smoking, scrubs and lazy out of work losers would be disqualified. applicants must be able to respect privacy, understand 'no hold hands' phases etc, and oh, applicants must also cover their own insurance as company might as seems appropriate decide to go private again.lol okay I'm crazy selling myself off like some under priced stock..lol
that's what happens when i'm holed in on a Friday night.
wish me luck as i wait patiently to be conquered!

  21. Honey the man will walk right into your life....i do know what you mean about waiting. Waiting it seems is necessary for the right end result.

    Love the post, spoke volumes to me

    ReplyDelete
  22. @ afrobabe, *hint,hint* is that a cue for FQ to be first, ehn?...lol

    hmm, FQ, i totally relate with u on this post.
    the IPO idea is not bad jare, just make sure the price is high, cuz what men get easy, they dont value. that said, what's the price per unit?...lol

    ReplyDelete
  23. FQ I can see by your actions that you are a bold entrepreneur to have chosen the midst of a credit crunch to launch your IPO. You know you can always seek private equity or even sovereign fund agencies.

    As for love, you love, you win some, lose some, hearts that break can also mend. As my home girl Alanis Morrisette put it "You live, You love, You learn".

    Good luck.

    ReplyDelete
  24. @atutu: my percentage?
    you just send in your application. It's going to be free and fair...i hink. Application forms are running out fast!

    @FQ: you dont trust me completely? I'm heartbroken *sob*
