THIS IS US




 In order to clarify any confusion, my previous post ended in an enigma. I was going to write some more but I didn’t want to go on and on and then begin to yarn and you become bored, more importantly I wanted to found out people’s views on the topic.  
Anyways, moving on… I was on the search for new series to watch, (it’s not like I have finished the ones I have oh, lol) because in this rave of social media, very good series are rare. Plus, I have had my share of good, bad and ugly series. Usually my process for selecting series (I love series) goes like this:
1.      The Title, it has to be catchy, probably one of the reasons I started “How To Get Away With Murder and You’re the worst”
2.      In the event that number one isn’t available, Referral. Someone has got to have hyped, or be psyched about it. (I didn’t even start Game of Thrones till season 2) And trust me not just anyone. Lots of people have various ideas on what is nice. *side eye*
3.      The online reviews and ratings; I mean if one person thinks a particular series is shit, I may have a rethink and give it the benefit of the doubt; but if lots of people are upset and ranting about how much time and MBs they’ve wasted, then its shit.
4.      Weirdly, the cover photos, posters, and sometimes the cast; probably because I can’t be bothered about the directors and producers. (Like who checks the credit *rolling my eye*)
5.      Which brings me to how I decided to watch this particular series “This is Us”. I had searched a couple of new series, read up on the synopsis, but this particular one just caught my attention. It just warmed my heart and I decided to give it a shot. You can say that point number five is Randomly warming my heart. Lol.

So I downloaded it, and trust me it is beautiful. Most series are clichéd, although we love them, or should I say I love them lol. The writer and director (yeah I said director, lol) have beautiful minds.
It has a lesson to be learnt on the irony of life. “You can take the sourest lemon life has to offer and turn it into something resembling a lemonade”
I’m not going to spoil it for you, naah, there would be no spoilers. Just take time to watch it. I hope you enjoyed the pilot as much as I did. And I hope the series continues to be beautiful.  

With love,
TheInspiredCutiee 😘

Emma Gonzalez

I am usually all for honesty; I wrote this piece for one the blogs I feature in, but apparently it couldn’t fly because it didn’t centre on an African, (which is good, we got to celebrate Africa). ‘No worries', I said to myself, 'I wrote it, Emma Gonzalez inspires me, so, ama share it here'… While valentine’s festivities for the year was in the air, students of Majory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida were experiencing the most memorable days of their youthful lives; a fellow student of the above named school went on a rage and killed seventeen people. Seventeen lives were lost because one unstable person had his hands on a weapon of destruction. This event is not just a traumatic one for those involved, but more of an uproar; come on, its rational for anyone in this situation to be livid. Having seen clips of the incident, watched the town hall meeting aired by CNN, read tributes, speeches, and the ever trending hashtags #WeCallBS #NotAgain, it’s amazi...

Star Struck!

Hmmm… My people, na so I see my celebrity crushes… Na so I stand at attention Na so my mouth no gree move Na so I just dey look Chai! My brain no even boot to take picture… Na so I dull! Ha-ha! I wrote this poem on the spur of writing this post. I should actually give you the gist… Scene 1 I needed to use the ATM, so, I decided to go the nearest one around my office, I said to myself ‘this won’t take time, no need to carry phone’, that’s how I left my phone in the office oh. I got to the ATM, there were a couple of people, so I joined the queue, that’s how a black jeep rolled into the parking lot. Enter Nathaniel Bassey… I opened my eyes with surprise, (if you read my posts, you know Nathaniel is BAE!) and began to wonder why no one was screaming and acting all giddy. ‘Is the ATM working’ he asked. ME!!! He spoke to ME!!! I couldn’t even answer I just shook my head because I was too mesmerised. God bless you, I am...

Society and one of its ills

This post started off as a rant, but then I decided why just rant? Critic the ill, but also share lessons you’ve amassed overtime. Remember, this month is the month of purpose, why rant and not have a purpose? I usually say, ‘everyone has an opinion, all it takes to be swayed to the other side – is good argument. Daz all! I can start a movement on ‘School should be optional, because these days an individual can ‘’blow’’ without the four walls of a classroom’, yes I’ll have followers, but then TeamEducationForAll would rise and protest with their POV, and then the debate would begin. *yawn* it is an endless vicious cycle. Today’s rant is all about Single. Singleness. Single persons. Single not in a relationship. Who dictates social media? People! Societies are made of people. It is funny that social media has a way of dragging one down ehn, but then again, its social media, we still need her (yes, social media is female), ironically I read three different articles...
