Where's that any Wally called Kara?

I have way too much work at the moment but all will be well....April 3oth 4.30pm is when my exciting life begins! SOOOOOOOO much has happened since my last post with the random photograph but I will update whoever is reading this at a later date.

For the moment I will leave you with the menacing picture below...Where's Wally was fun but at times it used to really freak me out! For example, this picture is called 'Department Store'.......I like to shop but this is just a complete and utter Nightmare on Oxford Street type bizness!!! NAH BRUV!

[Click the picture to enlarge]

Anyway, I'm back to being Maya Arulpragasam....go figure skating....

*I am* Hood and BOOM BOOM POW!



Oh, and how sick is Fergie's verse on the new Black Eyed Peas track???!!!!! I will post my thoughts on that later!

Crayola will be MINE!

I'm stressed. I have too many essays to complete in the last four weeks of my prison sentence.

Uni is bad. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

I'm typing this while my brother considers whether he should pick the blue pencil over the burgundy one.

I watch him colour in his Power Rangers characters. He holds the picture up, 'hmmm', more contemplating.

The pencil is now down to the last grain and my hairs stand on end due to the horrible sound it makes.

I love watching my brother stress over keeping every pencil stroke within the lines. I used to be the same.

Picking the right colour for the saber is his biggest stress right now. Right now I would gladly trade in my essays for a colouring book. If only he knew that those 'fun times' running, aimlessly, in the playground will soon be a distant memory ......he'd probably use those crayola's for firewood.

That's it. I'm getting a colouring book.

I wanna blog like crazy but I can't because of my work. Just four weeks and I shall be all over this like flies on dog crap. Amber on Kanye. Or Christina Milian on....whoever. [Note: I love Ms. Milian - she's so cute!]

And someone asked me why I'm not blogging as much as I did before. Let's be real, I'm not friggin Kanye he may have the status to employ a team of ghostbloggers. I don't.

*I am* ......Huh! Oh and Proper

I like silly...sometimes silly is good

I'm watching TV AND trying to do work [not a good combo right?] so my lengthy post about the past few days is on hold [as usual].

I saw this video and it cracked me up. Simple as [no time for my usual critique]

Put the issue of domestic abuse aside....most comedians joke about very sensitive issues that are offensive so please take that into consideration.

Domestic abuse = Bad

Silly parodies = Good

RIHANNA gets REVENGE on Chris Brown and BEATS HIS ASS!!!!!

Insight to Inspire

I am supposed to be doing my work so I cannot do a proper post but I wanted to remind forgetful-self on here for visual effect.
We had to talk about a photographer and their work today in my photojournalism class [I found that out just before I arrived to the lecture.....late as usual....and without any work] however, I wasn't the only one because two people contributed out of the whole class. A few awkward silences later, a supposedly cute photo of a baby with multiple menacing dolls that look like something out of Chuckie's OWN nightmares are being shone in our faces......so I close my eyes out of fear...then close 'em longer out of boredom/the desire to picture myself at the beach.....

So the only eager one who did the homework decides to subject us to yet another painfully, depressing photo-story. This photo-story shows every step of [....actually I cannot remember the photographer's name] mother AND father dying of cancer. Literally, dying. He took photos of EVERYTHING!!! Even when the couple found out one of them had cancer - he had taken photos of them crying and hugging each other. I found this brave,yet exploitive documentation of such a private event ZZZzzzzzz......I fell into a daysleep....blinked and saw that the dude also took photos of when his mother and father died on their hospital beds. Mouths open, tubes sticking out of them, with their eyes open and no concern of their camera-toting son. This was tooo sad to watch as I'm already sad enough as it is in uni!

Suddenly a flash of this MJ-esque pose brightened up my day.....and kept my eyes from crossing paths. I won't say much now but I shall post more on the wonder behind this photograph in a hot minute [month].



*I am* SOOOOOOO TIREDDDDD and Proper

New Shoes!

Two months back, I bought a pair of magenta suede shoes from New Look for a friend's birthday but whilst putting them into a gift box, I started to realise I was never going to hold them again. They weren't my shoes.

As I sat and watched the shoes being unwrapped, everyone at the table groaned, "Awwww - those are so nice! I'd definitley rock those!". I totally agreed and had a brain chat.....'Yes I would rock those too....but they were the last pair in the shop I got them from....now I've missed my chance....'.

So the next week, every New Look in London got a visit from me and I frantically searched online. I was also told there was a blue pair.....A BLUE PAIR!!!!! Now I am obsessed with blue suede so I was even more upset.

Fast forward to this week, my friend who goes to uni in a far away land outside of London [and always keeps her eyes open for things I want] FOUND THE MAGENTA SHOES!!!!! I couldn't believe it....my size was the last pair.....then she told me they even had the blue pair!!!!!AND - wait for it...they were in the SALE!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!

She asked which colour I wanted and a mental reminder of the past two weeks popped up: two new shoes, a new pair of kicks, earrings, a t-shirt, restaurant bills, library fines, unpaid rent....'Hmmm, which ones should I have......[cue photos of me in pyjama bottoms....]

...BOTH, please!'

*I am* Angry I didn't do any work today and Proper

Wasted: Why do I always break stuff? Good stuff!

Everytime I go out, I dance.....and me and my dudes dance HARD-D! Trust Me!

So hard that I keep breaking my damn earrings!!!! Literally, I'll be like 'THAT'S MY SONG!' and with one flick of my hair - a earring will go flying. I'm just surprised that I always find them....but then they do say: 'If you love someone[my earrings], let them go and if it's meant to be, they will come back.....I dunno if that was correct but it makes sense to me!

First up, the Valentines Day massacre......

My vintage Chanel [fake but still vintage] earrings flew off whilst I was skanking out on the dancefloor on Valentines day@ Work It [this was the same night I nearly lost my Mum's vintage brooch!]. Me being toooo excited about the song and all pocket-less in my all-in-one bodysuit, I decided to put them in my plimsolls. Big mistake.

By the end of the night, they were not as gold as they used to be, a few little diamante's fell out....oh and the clasps had snapped of the back of both of them to finish 'em off real good! But, I'm gonna fix these soon because I love them, dearly.

The above photo, from a previous post, was not me trying to be quirky.....my hands are covering my Chanel-less ears because I HATE taking photos without earrings!!! I shall remix Sisqo's 'Incomplete' for this one...

"Without earrings, my face is incompleeeeeeete...."

Oh and is doesn't stop there....here are some more gold earrings broken/separated/turned silver after one wear.....

• 
  
  The shell earrings at the top are supposed to be attached to the rope buttons....


• 
  
  The Egyptian ones on the left below the Chanel's were gold and turned silver after 5hours of dancing....


• 
  
  I think my heart diamond got...actually NO...it wasn't because I was dancing! I'm sure I broke them when I tipped over the jewellery stand from my shelf and it smashed all over the floor! [scatty loser]


• 
  
  The rope hoops flew off whilst I was doing the Single Ladies dance at a party....I had an audience haha so when it flew off I was like "whatever"! Beyonce dropped down a flight of stairs head first so why should an earring stop me huh?

I really miss the heart diamond ones though......*wipes tear*

YouTube Flash: Beyonce 'Videophone' Dance

Apparently, some of the dancers in this video are from Beyonce's tour so it's not just any old dancers on road. I thought it was a well made fan video but obviously Bee's dancers must really like this song to do a unofficial video for it!

Oh and AMBER ROSE makes an appearance in shades, a tutu and those red leggings, again!

Enjoy...

The Mystery Woman in the Chris Brown Drama is......

HIS MANAGER!!!!

Yes, his 40 year-old manager, Tina Davis, has been named as the woman who sent him 'that' text message before Rhianna backhanded his lanky ass.

This isn't a shock to me, as there were previous rumours about the relationship between Chris Breezy and Davis a few years back. Erm, yes, these rumours were around the time he was SIXTEEN years old and she was...........OLD. Apparently, he was in 'love' with her but his mother, Joyce Hawkins, was not at all happy and wanted the whole thing to end before it got out in the media.

However, Brown and Davis denied the whole thing ever happened. I wonder what's going to happen now......if she is questioned in court, she will probably get done for statutory rape! She will probably lose her job managing the the pot of gold that is Chris Brown and humble herself listening to demos at her old Def Jam A&R job haha!

[L-R: Davis, Brown and Tiny....I mean, Chris Brown's Mum ]

Just for the sake of it, here is a random video of some guy pretending to be Daddy Yankee prank calling Tina 'Cradle-snatching' Davis. I have a weakness for prank calls.....I haven't done one in a while actually....hmmmm...

This video is actually funny so listen to it all the way through to the end when he switches on her....

My favourite part: "Lemme talk to Usher.....F*** Chris Brown - that small time n***a", JOKES!

Kara invented the REMIX: Lady KarKar

Whilst I eat more food during this tumultuous time of dissertations and essays I have been subjected to Lady Gaga 'Just Dance' on repeat because of some girly-wirly girl on campus. Oh and someone used some of my milk .....and some of my spoons have gone missing - thieving campus dudes!!!

I am a cereal fanatic so this annoys me the most: There are always approx. EIGHT BOXES of cereal in my room as I live on cereals!

Anyways, I thought this was a good representation of my current state....

Lady KarKar 'Just Eat' Lyrics

[Verse]

I've had a little bit too much, much,

All of my essays have built up (have built up now),

How do I spell my name, can't find notes for essays,

Where are my spoons, they took my milk, milk,

What's....go....ing on in the world,

(I don't remember be-cause I'm stressed by my journalist course),

Keep it cool - that's what Mum always says,

(But when I'm a-lone I heard junk food telling me),

[Chorus]

JUST EAT!

U gotta be on K - to go uni!

JUST EAT!

Send that pasta baby and those donuts!

JUST EAT!

Gonna be okay....just just

JUST EAT

EAT

EAT

JUST-Just-EAT!

*I am* Watching Eastenders online and Proper

She tried to play me, I got all crazy and things just wasn't the same: Sentence-Word

Someone's auntie tried to boy me today!...Actually, she DID boy me! [for those who don't know 'to boy, is to disrespect' ;)]

As I proceeded to drag myself to the till point with some trainers, a swimming costume and a weird polo dress, something familiar caught my eye.....someone's auntie had picked up these brilliantly-trashy Moschino leggings I wanted!!!

So I said: "HEY - those are the leggings iiiiii wanted!" [obviously]


I stalked nearby, as you do, and watched her movements.

She look at them like,*African Voice* 'Hmmm okay....maybe these will be okay for me I'm not sure...'. [You know that face your auntie does, kinda like a fish or Ciara's dancing mouth, when she's checking out whether the real leather Fendi bag in that 'Asian man shop' is actually real....yes - because they would really sell Fendi in the 'Asian man shop'].

So these leggings are now being abusively, stretched to see if there is enough give for her auntie-legs and I'm like, "Okay this is getting too ridiculous now - she obviously does want them that much if she's pondering and stretching!"


Anyway, ignoring my shyness, I decided to SWOOP down on her like a security guard and blurted out:

"Excuse-me-are-you-buying-those-for-definite-cos-I-want-em."

If done right, it should sound like one word, 'sentence-word', here's why:

• Because it's all one word the urgency sounds intimidating your voice should be as sweet as candy


• The multi function of the 'sentence-word' means they can't get a word in edge ways and you will sound a lil crazy so it gives the impression that if they say 'oh but I really want it', you won't let it go and probably start crying whilst, slyly, taking refuge in the left leg of the leggings to wipe away the tears....


• Sentence-word all sounds more like a statement so the person usually gets confused, as to how someone could be so brass and step into their personal shopping space


• Whilst the brassiness of the opening line marinates the person's mind will wonder 'what shall I say that will make me sound non-bitchy/empathetic/genuine


• As they think about this answer they kinda forget why they wanted the item in the first place - NOW YOU'VE GOT 'EM WHERE YOU WANT 'EM!


• The person will start to feel a slight guilt for holding something that now means nothing to them because they have no valid reason for wanting to steal the retail joy from your heart. YES that is what they are now doing...they are STEALING what is rightfully yours!


• Now, as they give you a measly, indefinite answer to test whether you will leave them be, stare intensely in their eyes as if you are the human lie detector....
  
• It usually gets easier from here....they WILL hand over YOUR goods...muahaha...like taking candy from a-

Auntie: "Oh no sorry - I'm buying deesss one"

Me: "But I really want it!?" [alternate plan : Do sad-shocked face]

Auntie: "Hmph - [she does the auntie laugh where they shake off how much you want something - like when you wanted to go to that party...and they don't care who's 'child is going cos you're not GOING!]

Me: "I really do though so if you're not buying it-"

Auntie: "If I see another one [she reverses her trolley away from me] I will let you know."

Me: "Erm?!?" [I look at my friend , confused as to why auntie has walked off when I have finished what I planned to start]

Auntie: "Oh look - anoda one!"

Me: "Awww thanks!" [auntie hands over the new one she found and I continue to thank her...]

Auntie:"No - wait - is that one I gave you too small?

Me: "Huh? [auntie then takes the new one she found from my hands and throws me the one from her shopping trolley - I look at the label ] This is a size 8....[I look at the label again] So what's the one you have?

Auntie: "This is....TEN" [she tries to move swiftly from me, again!]

Me: What! [my friend laughs at me as we both realise that auntie tricked me because she saw that the new one she found and gave to me was bigger!]
Auntie: "But you are young - you got young body [she stretches the leggings with force] this is much better for you [she looks over her shoulder to reverse away from me] its much better..."

Me: "But-"

Auntie: "Ohhh alright! You wait - here - if it doesn't fit - you can have deess one okay?"

Me: "Okay....."

So she boyed me again whilst she shopped for another 15mins whilst I innocently, followed her and tried to shout out 'look at this bargain!' here and there, hoping she would see something in my hands that she liked....that didn't work. I ended up hanging around the changing rooms screwfaced: "THIS IS LONGGGGG! Why is she acting like she's trying dem on? She's got like FIFTY auntie-type clothes she's trying on and my 'young body' leggings....she's only doing this cos she can see that I wanted em!!! She's probably going to wear them for 'yam and plantain' shopping! Why is she BOYING MEEEEE! I'm soooooo-
Auntie: "HEY - You! Here take it!"[standing at the entrance of the changing rooms, with her top halfway on, she hands me the leggings and customers look confused as to why I would want what auntie has]

Trashflash:

The Moral: Sentence- word mate, sentence-word. Never fails.

By the way, I'm sorry my photos always look budget. The uni surroundings are dead and I initially took this to send to a friend as a text message haha! It looks better on the left but hey!

I got this jumper too....and the black bag hanging in the back trying to get some of my attention....I plan to pay off uni fines this week so I don't have no mo' cashmoney woes!

*I am* Hood and Laughing at my superhero/cliched poses

First Joaquin, now John...hmmm...

With people like Joaquin Phoenix jumping on the Hip Hop train, you could say that rap is free for all to board. No tickets are needed, just the courage to board the train. One person who kinda has a ticket, and isn't using it, is John Mayer. John Mayer - the singer....the dude who keeps dumping Jennifer Aniston and taking her back...no? Well, he wins Grammys and makes 'easy listening' hits so I'm sure he doesn't know who your ass is either! Anyways, he's a funny guy. Oh and if you haven't seen this video of him working in the studio with Kanye West, you're three years late as to why he has this imaginary hip hop boarding pass.

Today, whilst frequenting that MyTube I came across this video of him making a beat on an MPC and acting silly whilst kinda taking the biscuit out of Kanye's style, in a nice way. Either way, the beat sounds alright to me so I wouldn't mind if he did a 'Phoenix'. I'm sure Kanye would back it too!

P.S. ....It seems he is using the exact MPC I have..just thought I'd mention that....haha

Shook One: Facebook Conspiracy

No lies I tell. Truth and nothing but. A minute ago, the security check on facebook read:

'More Ridgeley'

[No, thanks.]

Hmmm....wonder if I like George more? Do I type 'More George'??? Either way, I was violently FORCED to type in each letter, accordingly, just so I could post my damn link. Facebook is getting a bit too political now ain't it?

.....goodnight/good morning/good life *)



*I am* Church Claps and Proper chillin' chow.....

Diss my Dissertation

Apparently, when people are doing essays their breaks consist of walking away from the computer for a second to get a snack, to go to the toilet blah blah....

When I take breaks, it consists of walking away from my laptop....and repeating the same actions towards the tube station, preferably backwards for added effect of total nonchalance as to who I bump into....much like The Verve video but better....

[I stole these pics off my friends as my camera is lost somewhere...or I just can't be bothered to look harder haha!]

Wednesday, March 5th : A friend's 21st meal

Kara's Brain: "Hmm....where's the pound saver menu???"

March 6th 'Ghana Independence' THURSDAY: 'Shopping' and dilly dallying in LDN

Hello Kitty x MAC Launch @ Selfridges...or Harrods....obviously, I weren't bothered where I was - I just wanted to get away from my laptop

Kara's Brain: "Hmmm... maybe if I get the angle right I think I should be able to land head first on the Hello Kitty x Mac stand....."

Hood and Proper x The Sweet and Colourful World of Me x Leopard Print and Lace

I remixed BlackStreet especially for this dude defacing the Hello Kitty brand: 'I like the way you work it - NO DIGNITY!" We all need to put food on our table somehow but DAMN!

The horse whisperer and biatch kassidy

My moustache brings all the boys to the yard!!

The Boneyard scene in the Lion King is a little further to the back of this pic

So that was my break - looks better than that boring leg stretch I usually do! I won't do it again though, too risky...I might just leave uni for good!

Oh and yes - it was Ghana 52nd Independence day on March 6th.....I completely forgot due to my essay stress and forgot to wear something in homage to my homies....so I'ma wear a kente hairclip tomorrow ...if I'm in the mood for hair sticking to my forehead under the spotlights at work!

And after the Ghana Ind. hype at Stratford Rex years ago [where my Mum made me a lovely dress amongst other big preparations and all my friends and family didn't get in but some Nigerian boys from uni did] I shall NEVER go to one ever in the UK. A HUGE HYPE! I will celebrate it IN Ghana from now on!!WOOOO!!!

*I am* Switching Celebrity Deathmatch off cos it's so dry and Proper

Shut. Up.

She needs to shut up on a real!

I'm in my room, trying to get my head around what seems to be the hardest Marx theory ever even though I totally understood it yesterday. I have been stuck on the introduction to my essay just because I keep forgetting the meaning behind the stupid theoryyyyy-aaaAAARRRRRGHHhhh!!!

And this fresh girl from some next country has been talking a load of waste for the past 30mins in the kitchen....I'm not in the kitchen - am I?
I might as well be!
Why is her voice so irritatingly louder than everyone else?
Not only that, but I'm hearing a lot of 'Really....yeah....really.....yeah ....yeah....REALLY...' from the other girls in the kitchen.....OBVIOUSLY THEY DON'T CARE!!!!
Those girls are trapped because they have to cook so this girl is just lapping it up and talking about how boring her lecture was and how tired she was and how boring it is when she's tired in her boring lecture because she doesn't wanna be at her lecture but she doesn't want...SEE HOW BORING IT SOUNDS!!!

I am getting hungrier by the minute and I know I have some Jallof rice, courtesy of my Mum, waiting for me in the fridge but I'm not going in there because I will end up putting on a fake happy face when I really feel like scuffing.

Oh now I'm remembering that African guy SHOUTING down the phone this morning in between hoovering the corridor. Double loudness. I ended up shouting shut up through my door but he didn't hear cos he was too friggin' LOUD!!!

And someone is cooking something that is making my chest feel TIIIIIGHT!!!! I don't know what fish is cooking but the fumes are making me feel like an elephant is sitting on my lungs.

Stupid essay!

*I am* Hood and Going to go NUTS on these people very soon.....

You said what?!

Too much work and no play makes kara a dull boy.

LOL my friend made up a really funny name for one of our lecturers today, Ratdoll. It's funny because it's a private joke. End of. Nah I'm kidding, LOL, it's funny because its one of the most random names I have heard in a long time! Usually people will rearrange a few letters, add a few letters or something. No - my dude decides that the most offensive (but strangley superhero type) name for this person is Ratdoll??!??!? I'm still laughing about this....some crazy people I do know...

*I am* Supposed to be working and Proper BORED

Magnificent. In...deed.

Obviously when Fiddy Cent and everybody started dissing Rick Ross 'Tha Bowss' (or Tha Officer lol) I laughed along with 'em....real HARD! We all like a good laugh don't we?! That being said, I never, NEVER, took Fiddy's side, his lyrics are bogus. Anyway, considering Killa Cam finished their beef with one word (CURRRTISSSS!) he blatantly isn't that good at making good comebacks either so he's basically just some guy who makes money and talks about it whilst his minions lick his bum-bum. [Sorry, I know I always write lame longness about 50 Cent but I am going somewhere with this!]. This random guy does a better Rick-diss video, looking like he out-grew his Village People outfit, [best bits: "I'm trilllaaaaaaa....Bowss...BOWSS!"].

So, Rick Ross has been a little silent, hasn't he? Did Fiddy's bullying get the better of him? Is Rick Rowss lowsst [that was supposed to rhyme but urm...]? Well, in my opinion, he's been away making bangers! Bangers, I tells ya!! Working with the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, the producers behind the smoothness that was 'Maybach Music', Officer Ross and John Legend bring us the magnificent sounds of 'Magnificent'. I love the production on this track with a passion! You may criticise Officer Ricky but you cannot deny that both his gravelly flow and Legend's, equally, throaty wails work well. I won't go into technicalities [I will save that for my beatmaking friends who cannot hang up on me muahaha] but the beat is softly hard! Also, from what I have seen on a few forums I roam, it is not only I who is lusting after the crisp production of 'Magnificent' so I know your ears will enjoy this musical snickers bar.

If that doesn't convince you, whilst listening to 'Magnificent' for the millionth time today, I took on Tha Bowss-type attitude, marched over to some dudes in the uni library and told them to turn their music down because it was louder than mine. Sorry, but it had to be done.

However, the only negative I have about this song is I didn't hear 'WE THA BESSSS'....so much sincerity, in three short words *shakes head in remembrance*.

P.S. Play loud.

P.S.S. [invented because girls never shut up]

I watched this video of Tha Bowss playing 'Magnificent' to Daz Dillinger in the studio and my first thought was he is wayyyyy too comfortable. Shirtless, as usual, in a leather officer chair (clammy+leather=bad combo). Then he has the cheek to hover is ashtray over the mixing desk??? Nah bruv! He might as well be eating KFC off his stomach whilst shaving his armpits too....
