Weekend Oasis

Been a long week;

I can't take no mo'.

Waiting impatiently 

For the whistle to blow.

Quiting time

And I go charging out the door.

Monday come round too quickly 

To hang back doin' extra chores.

I don't know

How other people do it

Or what 

It takes to get them through it.

All I know is come the weekend,

My brain gets disconnected.

And in those precious hours

No thoughts

Of work gon' get resurrected.

So, if you feel me

Get in line.

Shake the lead out,

'Cause it's party time.

No need to get

Dressed up to the nines.

Come as you are

And you'll be just fine. 

This life is short 

So let's kick it into high gear.

Not gonna sweat the small stuff,

Ain't got one second to spare.

Loafing

You can't tell me what to do.

Don't even try, 

I won't listen to you.

Today I've a mind to take a break;

Don't care about work, or school,

Or anything else that might be at stake.

I've made my decision;

Hope it's not a sin

Cause, honey child, 

Today

I'm not doing a blessed thing!

Downtime

With the seemingly endless madness of the daily rat race where we run from one obligation to the next, there comes a point when we all need to just stop for a moment and breathe. Just a few minutes where seriousness, responsibility and all the other not-so-fun things that come with being an adult can take a back seat to pure, unadulterated silliness can sometimes make all the difference between staying balanced and having a full-out meltdown.

One of the things I enjoy doing when I have a little downtime is cracking up while watching a good parody- anything from classic sketch shows like In Living Color, MADtv or Saturday Night Live to vloggers like Glozell Green. There's just nothing quite like a bit of comedy to remind you not to take life quite so seriously all the time. I recently came across the Key of Awesome series on Youtube that does some great spoofs so I figured I'd share the laughs. Here are a couple of my favourites (so far).

Adele ft. Angry Birds

Rihanna: We Found Love in a Homeless Place
