Lazy Monday

Heyy!!
 
Public Holidays on Mondays are a bliss.
I woke up like 9am, had my bath like 5pm; I have barely moved from one spot sef *smiles sheepishly*

Anyway, I decided to watch this movie 'The Lobster' written and directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. (Yeah if you've seen it, I know I carried last, and if you haven't; hehe jokes on you). It stars Collins Farrell as David (he had to be fat for this character, well not fat but not regular Collins either, lol. P.S: you got to love his accent) and Rachael Weisz as the short sighted woman, and some other actors and actresses.
When someone asked me what the movie was about I said 'its not something to be described in a few words'

What intrigued me and I decided to see it was the caption; An unconventional love story. (Lemme just say that love movies are blehh and too predictable, and this clearly said unconventional). In my opinion the whole movie was unconventional.
I asked myself 'this idea was in someone's mind?'

Heard of Utopian? The movie is dystopian. The city in which single people are given 45 days to find a partner (note: not fall in love) or be turned into an animal.
They are against single people sef. There was a scene where David (Collins Farrell) was standing by himself and a police man asked for his marriage certificate, and because he was single he had to lie that it was in his wife's purse and she was shopping for something. The police man was about to begin the hunt for 'the wife' when she just appeared and was like 'darling sorry for keeping you waiting'. Imagine?!
Biko I don't want to live in a time like that if it ever happens.

I believe the essence of the movie was to expose the pros and cons of being in a relationship and being single.

You don't even want me to start on how the movie ended (lol, see what I did there?). It reminded me of The book in the Fault in our stars -Imperial Affliction by Peter Van Houten .

I guess that's my form of a review.

Well that's just one of the things I did today.
I hope your day was amazing.


With love, theInspiredCutiee 

Sunday Special

FEAR Where can I hide from this scary beast I'm so tired of attending these feasts I have been held bound by your lies  You told me I can't go beyond where I am My whole life I had dreams that would transform the world I saw myself sitting with Kings Dinning with Princes But In reality,all that was on my plate was hate I looked around and saw regret You made me feel comfortable, here on this dinning table Feeding me with stories of how I can't, How I wouldn't be able to! You told me they would laugh at me the moment I opened my mouth to speak That explains why everyone thinks I'm weak I got letters of Invitation from greatness You tore them right before my eyes You took me out once in a while to see your friends,mediocrity, status quo and Impossibility They seemed cool at the time Till I met faith Then I realised my whole life has been a deception All this while I was at the wrong reception Faith took me on a walk and showed me all the things I ...

List

By
As we countdown hours to the end of the year, in every corner there seem to be lists of things that happened this year; they maybe favorite or worsts, or top experiences or things that made history, sha lists. (you get my drift right?). I don't think I have sat down to draw up a 'list' well expect when I was applying for a job and they specifically said give 10 reasons why we should hire you. Yeah that happened. Lol. So I have been thinking, really thinking. A whole lot can happen in a year, emphasis on  'whole lot'. Except you write every detail of what happens daily and not miss a day (I wonder if there are people that are this deep) you are bound to forget some things. The movie 'INSIDE OUT' depicted how our mind works. (If you've seen it; you have an idea of what I'm talking about, if you've not I don't know what you are waiting for) There are too many things that have happened this year for me as an individual, in fact as a...

The SS 4

By
If you’ve been following these series, you know they started off as a rant, but I decided to be inspiring, (as usual, hehe). If you haven’t (where have you been!) – you can read the Kick Off , Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 . I concluded part 3 saying watch out for myth 3… (still watch out!) ‘I thrive on purpose’, ‘I exist because of purpose’, so what then are the things I should be conscious of during this phase? Literally what lessons should I gather from my singleness? This requires a critical look at Genesis 2: 8-17: 1.       Place: God has a purpose for every place He puts me, He wants me to see, learn something before He can show me the next step. For example; He placed me in my family for a reason. Ironically many (myself inclusive) place ourselves and source for a person or people to validate this place we’ve placed ourselves. Even more sadly, many (myself inclusive) fight the place God has placed us. 2.      Pu...
