I must Confess...

I have not been keen on blogging lately. As some of you noticed, its been easier for me to put up snippets of Youtube videos or other random stuff I've found interesting on this space. But on that desire to continue blogging fully, it has evaded me.

So what makes a good blog into a great blog?

1. Is it the copious amounts of random information you're willing to share with potential readers?

2. Is it about how often you're able to post?

3. Is it the amount of personal stories & secrets confesssions you're able to share?

4. Is it the extent of your fabrications; mixing reality with fiction?

5. Or is it your brutal honesty to say what you want UNEDITED?

I ask this final question because sometimes honesty is not always sexy. For instance, you're writing a very sexy story about your weekend with so-so. It starts out looking very steamy. He comes over. You watch a movie. Your foreplay begins. He goes down on you. You go down on him. Then he slips on a condom & slides it in.

In terms of honesty, you feel you should share the real details of your sexcapades. But for sexy-time sake, you forget refuse to include the fact that you've only been seeing this guy for 2 weeks & you're already giving up the pussy tsk tsk: whore!. Or it slips your mind to tell us that while he was riding away, you had already cum 10 mins earlier and wished he'd just cum already. Or to add that the condom broke and now you're screwed because you're not on the pill and you're not even into him like that (um...Plan B to the rescue, ladies).

I'm not going to make this space a revelation of my quite adventurous sexual past. But sometimes it seems to me that sex sells makes a good read. Either way, I have put the past behind me and decided to remain abstinent for as long as it takes, so help me GOD!

So what makes a good blog into a great blog?

I know that we all have different lives & imaginations. You're not just about Sex. Or about Fashion. Or about Politics. Or about Music. You've got so much to talk about.

So my fellow bloggers, why do you blog about what you blog about?

JJC - We are Africans

It has a great beat with potentially controversial lyrics but great song still. I love when that Jamaican dude starts his rap. FIYAAH!

Check it.

NNEKA

This is a photo of Nneka (singer of Heartbeats & Walking) by Salena. [Click here to check out Salena's Myspace]. Nneka appeals to me. She seems real, raw, likable and worth keeping an eye on in this age of new Nigerian/Global music.

Life in the fast lane

My fieldwork is going great. I haven't had the chance to update as much as I wanted. But I've taken the time to check out a few of my favourite blogs. I've even commented on some of them. So not to worry, in my spare time I have been lurking in the shadows of blogville ;)

I bet you're all doing Fabulous! The summer is over - completely unbelievable. 3 months gone down the drains of time. Bet you made the most of it, because I sure did. This hiatus was incredible. I've put up photos on facebook & I'll try to put up a few on here too ;)

So till next time beautiful people, have a great evening.
