VOTE FOR MIMI!!!!!!!!!!!!! laspapi, u just have to!!
p.s i cant do this meme just yet, since you said you have tagged everyone reading..i have something else on my mind...(trying not to sound like a frog)
I love sting too.
Will do the tag soon :-)
Noooooo! Why did I read?!
Laspapi, get in touch, did you see my mail? Need your opinion, a.s.a.p!
ok, ~mimi~, you have my vote. Take honey and rest the voice. rooting for you.
@ nilla- He sings great songs. Expecting to see the tag.
@ idemili- you're tagged, girl!
@ waffy- wharrraaappen?
I cannot believe i didnt make the must be met list, lolol:D I think Ellen is really cool, funny chic. Jamie Foxx has a nice swagger, even though i'll never kiss him even if i'm paid to, God forgive me:D I havent finished shawshank redemption, but i read the book. Heard the pianist was really good. What's the full name for Bande, maybe i'll steal it, i heard a new one this weekend "Bowofade", love it. I've never seen Saturday night live, i dont know why. Very nice, i'll try to come up with mine later.
The shawshank redemption is a powerful movie. It speaks about holding unto who you are regardless of what the world around would have you believe. Many people conform too easily. Tim Robbins was in prison for many years but he was not a ciminal and refused to become a prisoner.
It also reminds me of the story of a baby elephant chained to a pole. As it grew older it became conditions that the scope of its movement could only be limited to the length of the rope. When eventually the rope was removed, the now grown elephant made no attempt to venture beyond the scope of the rope.
Gloria Estefan, eh? Interessant.
Will do this, some time.
omosewa, you know you're on my list. All these people are after you.
Shawshank Redemption, The Pianist...Great, great movies. Bande is "Olubande", my older sister... Never heard it before or after, either.
@ Dupe- I like your analogy. I heard a story of gnats locked up in a jam jar. They could only jump as far as the lid. When the cover was finally removed, they'd been conditioned to jump only so far.
@ r- Do it!
Now i am off to do this....FInally a meme..I remember CI5...wow....
good girl, uzo, and your poetry is amazing. It would stand anywhere.
me likey very muchy
Laspapi - Done it! Well, ish ish. Seriously, I couldn't come up with some sevens. But the one's I could come up with, I did.
