rock and roll vagabond
After twenty seconds the girl re-enters the room and turns on the light. She looks back and calls through the door.)
Girl: I’ll just have a word with Roger about it. See how he feels.
(There are noises off. She turns and faces the man.)
Girl: There was an extremely good crowd in tonight.
Man: Almost a sell-out.
Girl: That’s not bad for a Thursday.
Man: If it had been better advertised there would have been a full-house. (laughs.)
(They walk to each other and embrace passionately.)
Girl: You were really good tonight. You even convinced me that you were an aging rocker.
Man: I feel I am growing into the part. You were pretty good yourself.
Girl: I forgot the words a few times and had to improvise. I don’t think anybody noticed.
Man: I did but I don’t think it made any difference. It was close enough to the original.
(Man takes off his wig and reveals his natural hair.)
Man: It feels good to take that off. It makes my scalp itch. The talcum powder doesn’t help very much.
(They kiss again.)
Girl: You look dishier without it. I don’t really fancy you much when you’re wearing the wig. You’re sexier without it.
Man: Who could possible fancy a man with long, grey, straggly hair? It’s beyond me.
Girl: Oh. I forgot. Peter wants to know if we want to go out for a meal and a few drinks.
Man: I don’t know. I’m feeling a bit tired.
Girl: We won’t stay late. He wants to talk to me about another play he’s directing in the West End. He thinks there’s a role that I am totally suited for. It’s a lead. Peter thinks it’s going to be a hit and will probably transfer to New York at some time. It’s a big opportunity for me.
Man: Is there anything in it for me?
Girl: He didn’t mention you but he could probably find you something. It won’t be a leading role but it’ll be work.
Man: I don’t think I want to go back to supporting parts unless it’s Shakespeare. For the privilege of speaking the Bard’s words I would take any role with pride. Even a non-speaking role.
Girl: You really come from the old-school of acting. I prefer the modern things, written by people who are still living. So? Are we going with Peter? Wendy will be there. Maybe John will come.
Man: I don’t fancy a crowd of people tonight.
Girl: It’s not a crowd. There will only be four or five of us. Peter knows a good restaurant just a few minutes from the theatre. They do wonderful scallops.
Man: I’m not really hungry right now. I need to relax for a while before I eat.
Girl: So just come for a couple drinks.
Man: I told you. I’m feeling a bit tired tonight. If today was Saturday and Sunday was a day off then I’d be more than ready but tomorrow we’ve got two shows. You haven’t forgotten the Friday matinee, have you?
Girl: No. It doesn’t have to be a late night. Just a quick meal and a couple of drinks, that’s all.
Man: With Peter it’s never just a couple drinks and he suffers with insomnia so he doesn’t care what time he goes to bed. He told me he only sleeps three hours a night. Not me. I need my eight hours or I can’t function properly during the day.
Girl: So? What do you want to do?
Man: I thought we could pick up a takeaway and then go back to our room. There’s a good bottle of Bourgogne in my suitcase. Maybe there’s something on the television. I’d like to relax with a good film. Preferably something in black and white.
Girl: I don’t know what you see in those old films. I think they’re boring.
Man: Some of the best films ever were made in black and white.
Girl: Sorry. I grew up with colour. I’ve never known anything else.
Man: You don’t know what you’re missing.
Girl: So? Do I tell Peter we’re coming?
Man: No. Not tonight. Why don’t you go and you can join me back at the hotel when you’ve finished. I’ll warm your side of the bed.
Girl: I’m not going without you.
Man: Why ever not? Peter wants to talk with you, not me. I think he fancies you.
Girl: Don’t be silly.
Man: I’m not being silly. I’ve seen the way he looks at you. He leers.
Girl: He leers? What on earth are you talking about? We have a professional relationship. He’s the director...I’m an actress. That’s all. He doesn’t fancy me. He knows I’m with you.
Man: I know what men are like. He’s no different. You’re young, beautiful and sexy. All men fancy you.
Girl: Well, he doesn’t. I would have noticed.
Man: Go if you want to but I’m going back to the hotel and put my feet up. You have a key to the room, haven’t you?
Girl: Yes, but I’m not going without you.
Man: Go! We’re not joined at the hip. Go out and have a good time. I’m not going.
Girl: You never want to go anywhere.
Man: That’s not true.
Girl: It is. All you ever want to do is go back to your room and sit around doing nothing until it’s time for bed.
Man: I said we could get a takeaway and watch the television. There’s bound to be something we want to see.
Girl: I’d rather go out for a decent meal.
Man: I told you to go if that’s what you really want to do.
Girl: And I said that I’m not going without you.
Man: I would rather you went or else I’m not going to hear the end of it. You’ll remind me all the time of how I never want to go anywhere and you’ll tell me how boring I am.
Girl: I’ve never said that you were boring.
Man: But you’ve insinuated it. You didn’t have to tell me.
Girl: You’re not boring. I find you incredibly interesting. You’ve done so much and been to so many places but tonight all I’m asking is that you’ll come out for a drink. That’s all.
Man: Sorry. I’m going to have to say no.
Girl: Alright then. I’ll go by myself. I really want to talk to Peter about that part. When this run is over I’ll be unemployed, or ‘resting’, as you put it and I need to line something up. I can’t afford not to work.
Man: Me neither but tonight I want to forget about work and just relax.
Girl: OK. You do that. Do you want me to bring you anything back?
Man: No. I’ll pick up a takeaway.
Girl: So I’ll go then. Are you sure you don’t want to come?
Man: I’m sure. You go and have a good time with Peter and I’ll see you when you get back.
Girl: You’re not jealous, are you? You sound like you are.
Man: Jealous of Peter? Of course not. He’s not your type.
Girl: Type? What is my type?
Man: Someone like me, I hope.
Girl: Yes. You’re my type.
Man: I’ll come and say goodnight to the others.
Girl: I’ll try not to be too late. I hope you’re still awake when I get back.
(She embraces him passionately and then they walk out the door and turn the light out. The stage is in darkness.)

dream vacations
HOMEPAGE
PRODUCTS
VACATIONS WEALTH CLUB
ENJOY LUXURY VACATIONS EVERY YEAR FOR 5 YEARS
Have you ever gone on a vacation, ever taken a break off the hustles and bustles of everyday life to retreat and refire, have you ever seen the world around you in its splendour and awesomeness or maybe you have and need to do more!
We live in a part of the world where men do not see the essence of taking a break, we believe we need to keep working until one day we drop and die forgetting to learn that there is a time to work and a time to rest!
Quickly. . . I need to open your eyes to the benefits of taking a quality time off on vacation to an exotic location:
Live Longer
A State University of New York survey found that men who took annual vacations reduced their risk of death by 20 percent. Men who didn't take any vacations in five years had the highest death rate and incidence of heart disease than any other men surveyed.
Recapture your childhood
When was the last time you went out and play? I mean really play without worry of someone i.e. your boss calling or interrupting you. Real vacations let you recapture that feeling of childlike exploratory freedom. You can wake up when you want, go to sleep when you want, and eat what you want. Most importantly, you can have fun without worrying about the consequence on work back home.
Find Creative Inspiration
Most of the year, we live on a schedule. We eat at the same restaurants, see the same people, and experience the same environment. This monotony reduces the opportunities for inspiration and for new ways of thinking. By traveling to a foreign environment, we put ourselves in an uncomfortable situation, and allow our brains to think differently.
Don't Just Visit. . . Take a Vacation!
Vacation Wealth Club has been put together to offer its members a comprehensive vacation package once every year for 5 years of their membership. It offers them a chance to live longer, recapture their childhood and rekindle their creative imagination by placing them on the exotic laps of luxury as they travel seeing the world.

surrender and release
thoughts of the complexities of life made me want to post this today,saw a movie yesterday night(dont know the name),but in the movie,there was this scene about a dying man that was in a coma,in his mind he saw himself on the hospital bed with a guy by his side eating a burger,and he asked the man whether this was heaven because though he was still on the hospital bed with all the tubes and gadgets attached to him,the place kindof looked different.
the man ignored him at first,continued eating his meal and then suddenly turned to him asked him sarcastically and i quote"so now you believe in the afterlife,in heaven,hell and God.well sorry to disappoint you but i work for the other side,its really funny to see you guys on earth worry yourself's to death about mundane things like the colour of your hair,getting fat,groceries and stock exchange numbers,instead of the important things like loving God and your neighbours.but when you are just a few minuites from eternal life you start wondering...well its too late to wonder now"
Then he grabs the man by the hand and begins to walk away from the light into the darkness.
Try not to get a heart attack by trying too hard,just do the best you can,cos someday it will all end and hopefully we will all be the wiser for it

stay home and wash your hair
on my way to work this morning,i met my neighbour outside,she was sitting on a couch in her balcony and we exchanged pleasantries as we always do,she is a work from home business woman and has no fixed office hours,she looked at me and said"ninnie its a relief that i dont have to go anywhere early today"
i smiled and shook my head...."lucky you," i replied
"yea,i ll just stay home and wash my hair,put on a dvd and relax"
As i drove off to work i realised that in all the years,that i had been working i had never taken out time,infact it hadnt ever crossed my mind to take time out to do something as mundane as stay home and wash my hair,and i kinnda realise that i am somehow missing out on the simple pleasures of life....not really the washing my hair part cos i dont think i l do anyone a favour except of course my scalp,but just relaxing,letting my hair down and just relaxing
well...that has definately got to change ,i am not so far away from 35 anymore and i dont wanna look back and see the best years of my life wasted and for nothing...
i have an adventurous spiritand il be damned if i let my life pass me by without so much as an "ahhh'moment
here is my tip of the week,since we are talking hair
Do You Know The Different Black Hair Types?
There are three main types of black hair; wavy, curly and kinky. I’m a coily type 4a. What are you?
Don’t waste your time and money on hair products and tools that won’t work for you. Take a minute to figure out which one of the unique black hair types you have and let that guide you to the products, tools and techniques that work best for your hair.
Look at the characteristics of each hair type to figure out which one you have.
Remember, this is for your hair in its natural state, so if you’re relaxed look at your new growth to decide.
Type 2 - Wavy Hair
Characteristics
Also known as type 2 hair, wavy hair commonly has these features.
- Soft or deep waves and little to no curl.
- Coarse and stays close to the scalp in long "s" shaped curves.
- Doesn't usually have a lot of body.
Care Tips for Wavy Hair
- Invest in a good boar bristle brush to keep your waves smooth.
- Use a light moisturizing hair gel to add definition to your waves.
- Deep condition regularly and use a moisturizing leave-in.
Type 3 - Curly Hair
Characteristics
Also known as type 3 hair, curly hair has a unique texture.
- Fine and soft "q" shaped pattern.
- Doesn't have a lot of sheen.
- Has lots of body.
- Straightens when wet and curls as it dries.
Care Tips for Curly Hair
- Only use wide tooth combs. The wider the better.
- Use deep conditioner every time you shampoo.
- Use leave-In conditioner daily.
- To reduce frizz don’t brush your hair.
- Don’t use towels to dry your hair. Air dry or blow dry on medium with a diffuser attachment instead.
Type 4 - Coily / Kinky Hair
Characteristics
Also known as type 4 hair, it’s the most highly textured of all the black hair types.
- Very tightly curled and wiry.
- Driest of all the types.
- 4a hair has a looser 'coil'. Strands have a spiral shape.
- 4b hair has a tighter 'kink'. Strands have a zig-zag shape like the letter "z".
- Most fragile of the types.
Care Tips for Coily / Kinky Hair
- Comb and detangle your hair when it's wet and coated with conditioner.
- Always use a wide tooth comb, your fingers or a hair pick to detangle.
- Deep condition your hair with protein and moisture to keep your it healthy and strong.
- Use a daily moisturizing leave-in.

hazy weather today
this is going to make travelling horrible because flights and cars are going to have a difficult time getting people whare the should be on time...........
oh!well,heres to all the travellers today and throughout this weird haze, to pls listen to the weather people and be safe.
heard CNN and BBC warned of acid rain in nigeria...
there goes the outdoor plans of a million or so nigerians
but the truth is the rumours(and they are )are just that,so it is safe to say that while you still need an umbrella when it rains,one rainy day between the 21st and 28th isnt the skin cancer killer we should all be avoiding.

true wife confessions:the new internet sensations
well,well,well.............i have come across so many blogs about women who are the perfect wives,mothers and business people and i wonder,truely that do these women ever fall short of this perfect life at some point or the other in their lives????/
its kind of scary to think that i could not love my husband anymore,or that i can resent his behaviour sometimes and i shudder to think after wanting marriage for so long and wanting kids for even longer that i can feel resentment for BEING a wife and a mother,till i read this article and then i thought well there are some people that are feeling like i do sometimes...dosent make it right though,just makes me feel a little more human and less like the devil

"thank you mummy"
just the other day i came across an article that kinna teaches us to teach our kids to say thank you
hope it helps..................
Top 5 Ways to Teach Children to Say Thank You by Ray Nadeau
in Family / Parenting (submitted 2010-03-15)
Thank children for thanking other people. You can keep small treats, such as a candy or small toy to be given in private when you notice that your child has done a good job of thanking others.
Have children count in their head how many times they were able to thank people for different things and report back in the car after an event. It will help in their manners and help their memory and counting skills as well.
Sometimes adults can get so busy in other things that they forget to listen for a thank you. Discipline yourself to expect a thank you from your children. Don't be in such a rush that you forget the importance of manners in the home.
When they are still very young, make sure that children sign and send all their own thank you cards for birthday, Christmas or other gifts. This will create a great habit for later in life.
Show children thank you notes or gifts you are sending out, or bring children along when you are delivering a thank you. Modeling how you thank your friends and family will help them to thank their friends as well. FOR MORE INFO http://raymondrules.com

when do i let it go
last night i was really in need of a cuddle and just being held,but bill and i(my husband),had a fight a while back and he still hadnt said he was sorry and so i wasnt really speaking to him,like i normally would,much more cuddle or be romantic with him...........and well since he didnt seem to mind,i was going to pretend like i didnt mind as well.so there we were watching the news together after dinner, with naomi running and playing like she always does when we are both home together(she was esctatic) and talking in monosyllables.
when all i wanted to do was go lie beside him on the couch and have him hold me tight,i just sat stiffly i might add,on the other side of the room munching mangoes and complaing how i wished i could just go into labour and get it over with
and today it really makes me wonder,cos i had a horrible day at work and needed some consoling,why didnt i just forgive him(even though he didnt deserve it just yet) and let myself get a warm embrace at least i know i would have slept better...........................................................

potty training issues
i happen to have a long day at work and was really extra,extra tired.after i had given her her afternoon bath and changed her into fresh clothes,she went about playing and 5 mins later...i began to percieve the dudu smell
it was horrible,i was too tired to shout,felt more like crying actually and this thus led to a 5 time change of clothes and panties
read my lips ppl five times...change
it was horrible
any tips about how to do this will be richly appreciated,i have tried begging,threatening,taking away her dolls,
but nothing seems to work
when i ask her "mama will you like to weewee or pupu"she gets really angry and shouts a big no and raises her fingers as though to warn me to leave her alone
oh!well,the hubby is usally noticeably absent from all the theatrics,,,,,,,,,,,,,hmm

scared stiff
this weekend wasnt the greatest i have had,we have decided that we should move to a new house,well cos the landlord says he kinnda wants his house back,which really sucks becos the local govt,only just started tarring our road,which has been a nightmare since we moved into the property four years ago.
anyway the sad news kinnda put us all on the the edge and there was a lot of snapping and short answers to questions etc
went for my ANC as usual on saturday,only to be told by the doctor that my baby has a big head and i havent been able to stop thinking about it,even though he says it is nothing to be worried about,i just keep dreaming of a big headed monster tearing through me and its driving me crazy
