I know you've got a little life in you left...

It's been such a long while since I have been here.

Not from lack of want or desire but maybe lack of creativity.

And maybe overestimation of my need to document my M journey. Which is still ongoing by the way, nipple reconstruction and asymmetry coming up next month.

To be honest I am not sure I want to be here...writing this eve. I have no topic in mind, no burning issue to document or ramble about.

But here I am typing, in the dark, on my iPad, listening to a playlist on Spotify...Maxwell currently up...This Woman's Work...if you couldn't tell by my post title.

Listened to Arrested Development a lil while ago, Mr Wendal & Everyday People....classics...whatever happened to them by the way? Fantastic lyrics with fantastic tunes.

On that note, whatever happened to music? I find my iPod and other portable music devices filled with playlists consisting of old tunes, old classics. For crying out loud, I've got Gladys Knight & the Pips and Nina Simone on one of my playlists.

And is there any current hip hop tune as beautiful, yes beautiful, as The Message or Rappers Delight? I think not!

I have also been listening to a lot of Fela. I know the Naija music scene is hot right now but I am not a fan of music simply consisting of hot beats with very little, if any, conscious lyrical content. Of course I am sure there are some exceptions...when you find them, do let me know.

Give me Fela, the two Victors (Olaiya & Uwaifo) every damn time.

So Groove Theory's Tell Me just came on...lordy I love this song. Someone I could sing this to right now but that's another blog post.

And on that note...it's goodnight & God bless x

P.S - feels quite nice to be back writing even when said writing is just a stream of consciousness.
