WOYRAM

 I can't stop obsessing over American series. Especially those ones that have to do with crime or mythology. And yes it has everything to do with their special effects. Sometimes I literally pinch myself as a reminder that it is just make believe blood or just some scary costume put together by a bunch of nerds, yep nothing to be scared or disgusted about (nevers works out, still scare myself silly). But I totally raise my hands in awe at the quality of acting, plots, srt designs and costumes (primarily because of Fashion Police> Joan Rivers and co). Joan Rivers is a mad lady. Totally hilarious.
That said, I always seem to find a new series to go insane over and it gets a bit annoying because I am never completely done with a one. Always jumping from one to the other. A bit whorish really. I absolutely blame the creators of "Game of Thrones"making me search all over for series to fill my gaping hole.Ought to sue them really, they should hurry and release the new season.... it is March already. Urgh and that reminds me the director of the movie "The Hobbit" says via his facebook page that the next and final installment in that series will be released next year December. 2014. Hmmm. Face in palm....I can never win the battle. Help!!! Sigh
.Welcome my new love Elementary. 

Let me give you a brief analysis >> Elementary stars Jonny Lee Miller as detective Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson in a modern-day drama about a crime-solving duo that cracks the NYPD's most impossible cases. Following his fall from grace in London and a stint in rehab, eccentric Sherlock escapes to Manhattan where his wealthy father forces him to live with his worst nightmare - a sober companion, Dr. Watson. A successful surgeon until she lost a patient and her license three years ago, Watson views her current job as another opportunity to help people, as well as paying a penance. However, the restless Sherlock is nothing like her previous clients. He informs her that none of her expertise as an addiction specialist applies to him and he's devised his own post-rehab regimen - resuming his work as a police consultant in New York City. Watson has no choice but to accompany her irascible new charge on his jobs. But Sherlock finds her medical background helpful, and Watson realizes she has a knack for playing investigator. Sherlock's police contact, Capt. Tobias "Toby" Gregson (Aidan Quinn), knows from previous experience working with Scotland Yard that Sherlock is brilliant at closing cases, and welcomes him as part of the team. With the mischievous Sherlock Holmes now running free in New York solving crimes, it's simple deduction that he's going to need someone to keep him grounded, and it's elementary that it's a job for Watson.....whew!!
Umm hope I made the synopsis delicious enough to get you interested. (whispering) if it keeps you up at night and late for work every morning, I am innocent of all charges. You are on your own

Anyways, how are you this Sunday? The weather is okay for starters and ohhh surprise surprise I have both light and water at home today. Maybe I shouldn't be talking about that too much I should be grateful, you never know the powers that be might just read this post and decide to withdraw their services. Cough. Lets talk about something else. Umm what is interesting? Ok. Snap. Yes let's talk about Mother's day. It is Mother's day in the UK not in Ghana. Though I must admit I was a bit puzzled when I saw all the Happy Mothers' day messages flowing on Twitter and Facebook. Willing to bet that more than half of the people (cough cough) didn't know that the Mother's day was in abrokyire and not in Ghana, but in an attempt to look current decided to post away. Hahaa. Dont mind me all Mother's day is Mother's day. We cannot celebrate them enough. And the title of the post is my mother's name. Her name is Woyram. It means in I have been blesssed in Ewe. We are twins my mother and I. We look alike save the hair styles, talk alike, very conservative, big fans of Nana Akufo Addo (yes she is full blooded Ewe hahaha) with fiery legendary tempers. Well I decided to write this post about her because of an article I read by China Okasi. She is the founder of Daily Mocha and executive director of Women of Media. The title of the article is African Moms: Be patient with your married daughters. No I am not going to give you a synopsis on this one, I will encourage you to read it by posting the link to the article. Kindly find it posted below.

I read the article and knew that China must have had my mother and I in mind though in the reverse. How?
I remember when I was with child in final year of school (Uni), my mother looked at me squarely in the eye and told me "You are not going to get married because of a child, over my dead body". Ohmyheavens I thought, what she talking about..marriage was my salvation, my last resort to whatever "shame" I thought I was going through. My only way to redemption. But as I roll the years back and forth in my mind, and I realise that was the best gift she ever gave to me. Over her dead body. Because I grew, my mind, my attitude, my convictions just grew. Everything. I became aware of my environment, when I was unsure of my thought processes I just read, everything and anything....now that I think of it I am sure that is where my love for politics and current affairs grew. I simply woke up from the bubble I was in and faced the world head on and this is where I am. I am sure that answers many a question especially my tough as nails attitude. This is who I am. I have been through my personal breaking point, what else can one do to me.
 I love the man I am with, I love the fact that I have his son but I am a better woman now and that will reflect in my choices as his wife and mother to his child. I am in no way saying those who get married because of similar circumstances are doomed, all I am saying is my mother saved me. Marriage is two people for the rest of their lifes, marriage is beyond the counselling, the wedding, the parties, the decor, it is when you close the door and you are left with you and your partner. So yes marriage would have been my escape route to whatever ridicule I thought I was facing, but it would have been my doom route at that time. My mom blessed me with a second chance to rediscover myself. I am sure if any of you knew her and directed her to read this post, she will just roll her eyes and look over her glasses and gently say "Don't mind NaaBia, she wants money for something...tell her she should forget it".  Hahaha....

Interesting world we live in. The journeys we go through. That is another reason I really detest people who act holier than thou. They have no idea that journey God has put us on. Hmmpph.
It is five already. Monday. Ironing for work. I protest absolutely protest that we still have not got any nerd in this century who will make clothes that wash and iron themselves. Who even invented the iron. I ought to go back in time and pinch him. Why didnt he create an iron that we could command to work on its on. Better still iron and give us chocolates at the end of it. Ah. Maybe when rLGs Hope City comes on board.....hahahahahahaaa.(this my mouth)

Time to go.

Bye.

Not amused that I am going to iron.
