July Book 1 (Adventures of Huckleberry Finn)

I don't know why The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was so difficult to get into. Perhaps I needed to get used to a story without good ol' Tom Sawyer (who does make an appearance later in the book). I did say that The Adventures of Tom Sawyer does have a lot of the n-word floating around. Well... This book does it even more. The story is about Tom helping a runaway slave Jim. He doesn't call Jim anything but the n-word (so disturbing).

 Huck's father has heard of his son's good fortune. So he forcibly takes his son and locks him in a cabin. I'm not certain if Huck's Pap is a drunk, psychotic or both. Whichever one of them it is, he becomes violent and Huck starts to fear for his life. He fakes his own death, escapes and meets up with runaway slave Jim. Jim is trying to make his way to a free state where he will buy back his families freedom. That's when the adventure really begins.

Like I said before, it was difficult to get into. But once I got into, I really enjoyed it. Give it a try, let me know what you think :)

Way Back When (Davina)

Female singers in the 90s dressed in a way I wished my mother would let me dress. But she wasn't having any of that. I love that Blue outfit with the Blue lipstick.

Way Back When (Horace Brown)

90s RnB was cool. I still know all the words to this song.

My dude

I love this guy

Via Tembo Nzuri

Way back when (Make it Happen)

THIS is my Mariah

Foxy Friday

I love...





Ha ha ha but why must (young)Jay and that woman expose us to bad acting at the beginning of this video? Ha ha ha.

FOREVER

This remains one of my favourite songs. The first time I saw this video I was a little kid (about 7 or 8). I couldn't stop looking at her. She was just gorgeous. I just wanted to sing along with her and I didn't even know the song. RIP Whitney. What you gave us is FOREVER!

Way back when (Falling)

Let me just say that this is the first time I hear this bizarre rap at the beginning of the song. I prefer to original. Montell Jordan was everything. 90's RnB was my stuff man. I had THE BIGGEST crush on Montell lmbao.

One of dem days

I'm having an off day. This whole week has felt a little wonky. I just wanna hide out in my room and these migraines have been kicking my ass. I've had 2 this week, which means I have been out of action all week.



Ms Thang was one of my favourite albums when I was younger. It, like many of my albums, was stolen. I loved Monica's sexy tomboy vibes. Her, Brandy and Aaliyah were my girls when I was in my teens.

Everybody are you in the house!

This will forever be MY Mariah. I love ODB and I also love those dancing boys.

Way Back When (Nonchalant)

5'o clock in the morning, where you gonna be?! I really wanted to be a rapper when I was younger because of women like this. You were not cool if you did not know this song mayne. Ha ha ha.

It's Summertime

I used to LOVE this song. Its summer time and its all-shorts-everything type of weather. I used to love Smooth, also loved her song Mindblowing. I used to own that album (Smooth). Aaaah good times!

Ms Patti!!!

Sounds of my childhood. No child growing up in Soweto in the 80s didn't know this song. Love me some Patti!




Shout-out old school Metro fm.They used to play songs like this all day on Sunday.

Remember this?

Every kid in Soweto knew the lyrics to this song. Oh man I still love this song so much. Confession: when people talk about Mariah Carey, this is the one I see in my mind.
