F.G.G.C: Federal Government Girls' College
Owerri: A city in the state of Imo in the country of Nigeria
Hence, FGGC Owerri. Which is a secondary school (middle/junior/high school). I can totally talk about my nightmare adventure in this school for hours. And hours. And more than likely hours. But that's for another post.
I almost teared up when I remembered the song, "Hosanna in the Highest". *sighs* Such a great song. Back in my boredom days in Naija (nickname for Nigeria), I would fill up a whole notebook with Christian songs and/or Naija gospel music. I'm talking bout the title of the song plus the lyrics. I bought that notebook back with me to the States. But for the love of purple, can't find that mess for nothing. Ugh!
Since I'm on the topic of Christian songs, am I the only person that detest "It's The God in Me"? I'm the only person, aren't I? Daggit. I mean, why Mary Mary had to go the Auto Tune route? The song sounds so desperate to me. And don't get me wrong, I enjoy Mary Mary. Truly. But that song is the pits. And to hear my baby
Ne-Yo is on the remix? Slit my throat now. I'm sure some people are secretly mumbling, "Pagan!" under their breath. It's not allowed.
Since I need to redeem myself here, the Christian song that so speaks to me is, "Jesus is Love" by The Commodores aka Lionel Richie and His Backup Crew. My local radio station usually plays this as their close out song. I try to tune into that station when it happens. It just gets to me. Every damn time. A close 2nd will be "Something About the Name Jesus" by Kirk Franklin and the Family. I wished I knew the singers who actually SANG the song cause as we all know it wasn't no damn Kirk Franklin. I hope he's spreading the wealth. Truly. He doesn't sing. He barely rapped in his only rapping stint that I know of ("Lovely Day"). He just ad libs. Chants. Talk-sing. Sing-talk. Whatever that he does, he does. And to be honest, it quite annoys me. Does anybody know his backstory? How did he manage to attach his name to "And the Family" and make millions from that Family that actually sings? Inquiring minds will like to know, please.
Ooh, a thought has fought it's way outta my brain: I giggle/cringe sometimes when my ipod just played a great song like, "Silver and Gold by *le sigh* Kirk Franklin and the Family, then the next song will be "Kill You" by Eminem. Imagine if this happens when someone's in the car with you. Oh the horror! But there are other times when I like mentally send EPS to my ipod or something. Like we share this relationship that only we can EVER understand. I can be humming what I want the next song to be and BAM! that song comes on. Happens time and time again.
I'm out like popped collars. If I see one more mofo poppin' their collar like this is '06...

If you listen closely you will see God in me sounds like Blame it on the alcohol.
Problem is, I don't wanna listen closely to "It's The God in Me". :o( And are you trying to make me slowly unlove the one song that I can NEVER EVER get tired of? I refuse to believe that gem of "Blame It on the Alcohol" sounds like that...that...mess.
