The revolution has arrived....

---And I am here, the rose that continually grows from stubborn concrete. I only come to make other roses aware of the beautiful petals that they possess. Beautiful blaque roses of Africa. Let us rise and be free---

Before I take this introductory post anywhere else, I have a confession...

I hate blogging! I have never done it and have never had the intention to do so. But alas. The ever so great and thoughtful internet has offered me the platform and I the aspiring writer could possibly not refuse.

The very first line on my google profile reads 'Blogs are over rated' and indeed they are. My extreme distaste in blogs stems from the realization that every Dick, Mary-Anne and Moselantja thinks they have what it takes to become a blogger. And they are entitled to these thoughts, whether it bores any relevance or the potential to change the lives of individuals, well, that I am not too sure about. But hey, I am not here to fight.

I am only here to join in on this global revolution as we march foward with blogsspots filled with rife emotion, prose, poetry, fashion spreads, gossip galore, rambles, psuedo-intellectualism and our most internally clipped thoughts and emotions disguised as tools of democracy hoping to wrap away the exhibitionist natures of the 21st century internet dwellers. We are all here to claim and utilize our freedom of thought, of speech, of being your own self and of showing of---whatever it is that we may.

Kudos to the internet for handing the technologically savvy citizens of the world, a pair of balls to come foward and demand a space where they can finally say, say, say and maybe every now and again be heard or read!

Cheers to the brave hearts that have poured their hearts and souls into these word boxes, planting a similar seed of courage in the rest of us!!


Besides it helping me brush up my writing and coherence skills, my intent with this blog is not yet known to me. I am passionate about a lot of things...spoken word, written word, Africa and its daughters and so these will be the primary issues that I shall test these waters with. But we all know that thought is free-flowing....a lot is bound to spring from these pages. We wait and see. Until next post,


Africa Rising, Peace & Revolution...
