Just Right posted on April 28, 2011 - 9:19am

A year or two ago, Queen Lah acted in a movie named Just Right. Yeah, so what??? You might ask if you are not an afficionado of Queen Lah and her career as an entertainer. So in this movie, Queen is a masseuse or sorts for the stars, basketball stars that is. When I say masseuse, I mean she is a physical therapist of sorts for those chaps whose ankles and other body parts are insured for at least 6 figures in the American currency.
She likes this dude, [played by Common-Sense the r(w)apper) and] he is a star player on his team hustling to make the playoffs then he injures his knee mid-season!
I am hard-pressed not to drop the remainder of the plot as I am a story-teller on the B2B-joint. If you want to catch the movie, hola at Mr. Soft aka EddieSoft… he has that shyte all on lock-down!

Every breathe you take… posted on March 8, 2011 - 2:02am

Every breathe you take/ Every move you make
Every bond you break/ Every step you take
I’ll be watching you
Every single day/ Every word you say
Every game you play/ Every night you stay
I’ll be watching you
Baby can’t you see/ You belong to me
My poor heart aches/ With every step you take
Every move you make/ Every vow you break
Every smile you fake/ Every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you
Since you’ve gone I’ve been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it’s you I can’t replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please
O can’t you see/ You belong to me
My poor heart aches / With every step you take
Every move you make/ Every vow you break
Every smile you fake/ Every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you
Every move you make/ Every step you take

Michael_Jack heard it as black or white.
There is no half way| in between| almost made it|
I beg to digress…
You see all this comes about only and only when it really does matter!
And when does it really do matter…???
When ever you deal with someone’s emotions, it matters
Examples aside…
You check out hot shawtie on the phone at the corner looking all snazzy and not bothered by the wind whistling under her skirt… (I can imagine the view, hmmmn!)
You walk up to her to say hi. She sees your intent in your eyes, and tells the person on the phone she’ll call back.
Then you trip over the small stone that you could not see coz you was focusing on her eyes…
You get up calmly, sort out the dust on your clothes, and walk away
It doesn’t matter, or does it?
She calls you back and says…
“hey playa, are you gwan walk away
just like that”

The 2006 World Cup was played in the heart of Europe in deutscheland and was won by the Italian National Football team. It was not a given as the usual suspects involved are what a Muganda would “abananyini” loosely translated as “TheUsualSuspects” in the run up to its across the Rhinelands…

Truth be told, no one ever wants to know how the plumber does his job right?
Or how the accountant makes sure that the auditor and the local tax aithorities are smiling coz he/she has set up the paperwork so smoothly and organized it in such a way to clarify it twice would be an abomination
What i am getting at is another in the truly basiknes plan….
The end of the jigsaw puzzle usually is lauded and given all due props right?
But in between finding the missing link, and the identical pieces of the pie altogether while missing on all those dope hang-out sessions, and chill-out ones too…
Funny though is no matter how hard or diligently you push along, there always is someone who makes this shyte looks so easy and can do it in her sleep…
But then between you and me, we all know that whatever story you mention, the distance taken to become the finished product has no shortcuts whatsoever….

StandingUnder posted on January 26, 2011 - 2:14pm

I have this strong feeling that whoever came up with the word under-standing really meant to say standing-under… Think about it!
Back2basiks i tell you!
The very first time i had a huge argument with erm… anyone be it my former class teacher, my mom+dad, oh shyte, my sister, my supervisor, my client, TheHottnessHerself, or even me’self…
It always came back to same thing…
Standing Under…
I used to always want to be the one who is understood. Always the one who is standing on top of the other person, and i had gained a reputation of being a retaliator with quick facts about relevantly related issues towards the argument…
This was always certain to shut up the other person and made sure that the other person would always take a second before choosing to argue with me!
You see yours truly Basiks was always one to win an argument and not giving a shyte about what the other person was thinking much less feeling!
Huh!

^Camouflage^ posted on November 7, 2010 - 7:07am

I remember a time when we (read EYE) used to wonder how people used to get along with selfish people. Seriously. I do believe that deep down we all have an inherently selfish streak goings on with ourselves, but of course nowhere near the slightly narcissistical-ness of erm… Dr. Gregory House of HouseMD fame…
The reason why i have so aptly titled this joint “camouflage” is coz the other morning i actually saw a Chamillionaire oops, sorry a Chameleone change its colours from an amazingly beautiful green colour to an almost invisible very light borwn in the flesh!
I was privy to the act as i looked left and right and noticed that i was the only stunned individual in the surrounding vicinity that seemed to be awestruck . the little girl playing the roadside dust was busy building a castle with some stones and i was stopped in my tracks by the sight of a chameleone trying to avoid me seeing it..

Mental Obligations posted on November 2, 2010 - 2:02am

I am actually at this stage in my ishy ishy life where the mind is constantly pondering at what happens next…
Seriously…
I have been trying to blog about it for such a long-ish time and realised that there in lies the problem…
TRYING!
Truth be told that being Mr. Back2Basiks ain’t all as sexy as it used to be…
Having nice stuff to write about off the top was a dope experience…
Dropping hilarious joints and getting tonnes of comments (excuse the pun Chanel) is still a nice feeling…
But deep down, the whole ish of actually going B2B does make life a little deeper and sometimes all the more crap if you know what i mean…
You see sometimes you wanna play both sides of the coin, and deep down that opportunity avails itself…
Too bad that this might be the only selfishness that you might ever achieve..
EVER…

The finished product posted on October 26, 2010 - 10:10am

This is always seen as an item that we are spending money on especially since it is EYE who has earned the money and EYE should expect more value than what i pay for…
This sentence came about a few months ago when i had lost my specific blogging keyboard and i was in the middle of a discussion with one of our private initiative clients.
“You see Basiks,” Q started
“the truth about the hustle is that no one ever knows or actually sees you are hustling…”
“most people are only interested in you when you begin to make progres”
Truth be told, Me and Q-man go a long long way back.
We was tight buddies at primary school and when he used to come home to play Super Mario Brothers on the Nintendo NES, and hanging out at their new homes whenever his politically pimped dad was given free-reign to check out some dope properties…
