Brain Dump 1

You ever want to write something, but have no idea what to write, and life is just so busy that you can’t even get a moment to think on what you could be writing about? That’s been me for a bit. So instead of putting off the inevitable (because let’s face it, I always come back to my blog) I’ve decided to pretty much use my five minute pomodoro breaks to just brain dump. This may or may not…

White supremacists will purposefully show the worst slums of former colonized spaces and then the best part of colonial architecture and then be like.:

"See these people can't run anything on their own, they need us. If colonialism was so bad, then the nations would look better. Why does every country they touch end up worse than when we leave?"

Quotes to live by…

Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often? One of the first sayings that stuck with me from my childhood days is “a promise is a comfort to a fool”. Continue reading Untitled

5. African and Caribbean Folktales, Myths and Legends, by Wendy Shearer

Owned: No, library Page count: 294 My summary: A collection of folktales, myths, and legends from Africa and the Caribbean; an animal family puts on a headless dance, the leopard gets his spots, a prince climbs to the moon, a clever girl keeps her head, a boy crosses Mami Wata, and a cacique’s daughter falls in love with the wrong man. My rating: 4/5 My commentary:

Okay, full disclosure, I got this out of the junior non-fiction at the library, but I have exactly zero regrets because this was entirely charming. Folk tales! I love folk stories, but most of the folk tales I’m familiar with are from the British Isles, or maybe as far away as Ireland. I remember reading some Anansi stories when I was growing up, but that’s about it. And I want to broaden my horizons a bit! Hence, this book.

I’m not really gonna talk about the content of the individual tales much, because that’s not really what struck me about this book. The stories were told in a manner that’s very accessible to kids, simplistic and folkloric and engaging. Shearer features a lot of different stories from across the Caribbean islands and various African countries, showing a wide diversity in her subject matter, as well as both more traditional and more modern-seeming tales, which I appreciated. It was just really good and really interesting! I don’t really have a lot to say beyond that, other than ‘yay folklore’!

Next up, something completely different, a memoir of a funny woman.

You have all heard the tales of pirates in the seven seas ,but the most famous ones do come from the Caribbean Sea. Never mind the Hollywood versions ,they are just infantile creatures who have no clue as to what real pirates were like. You need to remember that Hollywood is nothing but a brainwashing machine run by the government and now even the Pentagon, they run practically the show and approve or disapprove the flicks that we get to see every year .Having said that it is all just a big mind controlling operation.But getting back to this Black Pearl looking galleon flying the skull and bones black flag which is indeed today a secret society in the dearest US government where many US presidents have been and are members .Which proves that Pirates are very much alive and kicking! Well,folks pirates have been around for millennia under different flags and countries like the British Empire long ago ,the Spanish Empire faithful to the Queen and King ,long ago.The Chinese as well,active today ransacking other countries ocean fauna. And what about the infamous Somalian pirates a new version ,a terrorist one indeed . But think for a moment pirates of my generation Incrusted in the psyche of our childhood like shipworm in the tale of Peter Pan .Haaa! And what about the great Blackbeard? Well , Pirates have always been a pain in stern to most empires,ha. Well, enough for now .Words by Sergio GuymanProust.
