Food for thought.

It's morning and I'm sitting in the Canoe office, there's only 3 of us here so far but I enjoy the silence of the office at times like these. A lot has been on my mind lately, things like "Rihanna needs to sit her hoe ass down" and "Just because the American economy is about to combust doesn't ordain that this is the end of the world, it just means it's time for us little countries to make some motherfucking MONEY"

My thought processes vary greatly, I have my incredibly shallow moments, closely followed by my uber deep ones.

The igbo helps along with that as well.

But I would like to touch on the second thought.

So all the big money makers are failing, and because they're failing and because they've been the big money makers for centuries now the planet seems to be under the impression that the end of them means the end of everything, and I have to encapsulate the fact that this is not at all true.

When I left Atlanta, I was basically a broke college student, up to my neck in fucking college loan payments, barely had any extra cash (which may be due to the fact that I spent it all on clothes and shoes but we aren't talking about that) and honestly, really and truely felt all the talks about the recession, I mean it's different being the only broke one, but then when you look up and realize that almost everyone around you is just as broke is quite scary. I honestly, FELT the recession, so when I boarded the plane to my home I expected the same view back home.

But honestly? We are not falling apart. We are no broker than we were, we are richer though. A lot of things are being built here, all these high rise apartments, and hotels, even the Prince of Saudi Arabia is building here. Money is always being spent, I see at least 10 brand new Ranger Rovers on a bad day. I never saw that many in Atlanta, at least not in 1 day.

All these prophecies of doom and destruction just cause the white man is going broke doesn't mean a damn thing here, because all those white boys stealing money from the failing companies are going to come invest it here. They're going to run to countries like Ghana. And imagine, say if Coca Cola completely fails.

What happens?

Our dependance on that product is eradicated of course, but Coca Cola isn't the only soft drink company in the world. It is the largest to be sure, but there is ALWAYS something to replace it.

It's simply time for a new age, a new distribution of the power you have been hoarding for hundreds of years now.

America is not the entire world. Europe is not the entire world. There are hundreds, if not thousands of countries on the planet.

Just step down gracefully and accept the change.

And think about moving to Africa.

....is the world ending?!

Christian Lacroix files for BANKRUPTCY!!!

Oh my dayz. we're completely astounded. Our stomach is totally in knots and we're about to start bawling, he is such a brilliant talent to see his house of fashion go down this route doesn't give us much hope for the future. 

So we are officially begging Kanye West to get one of his girlfriends to start rocking Christian Lacroix, (It's so fucking Amber) and bring him back up to float. 

We need Christian Lacroix in our fashion industry future. Kanye you owe us that much after that debacle at the last fashion week. 

You embarrassing little...

Oh Naija...

Nigeria rebels promise an all out war...again. 

In your entire history of fighting these people who exactly have you helped Mr. Nigeria Oil Rebels, you haven't helped your own country that's for sure, in fact you've killed hundreds of native Nigerian people in your attempt to  "free" the country and you've done this while being amazing un fabulous all the mother fucking while. 

Nigga shit!

Franki!!!

Power hungry cops.

Fucking crazy cop kicks an already surrendered man in the head.

Give a man a little power and it all goes to their fucking heads. The government isn't fucking God, and it's time people began to realize this shit. 

Totally fucking unnecessary!

I understand where he's coming from but uh...I want to see the pictures. Get a little insight on what my hard earned tax dollars are doing. That pic above is a teaser and is incredibly disturbing. 

When is this going to end?

Dear Kim Jong-ll


So you feel disrespected huh? You ain't the big bad on the greasy streets anymore? That swine flu shit is taking all your spotlight?

We have some words for you. 

Here at FrankiSayz we believe in the timeless statement;
"You betta check yo self fo you wreck yo self"
And we think you should too. That includes you Mr. "I'm probably dead but I'mma talk shit anyways cause I'm a spoilt little brat that cries at night when I'm not on CNN's front page news" 

Now you've been talking shit for a minute against America, FrankiSayz isn't a particular fan of this country either but hey, our president's black, and it's gotten to the point where it's a straight up boy who cried wolf situation. I used to be scared shitless of your crazy ass, but after 9 years of quaking in my ankle boots, I see you for what you are, a shunned American stan, like a bitter Beyonce stan but worse.

"Increased nuclear activity, refuse to talk, blah blah blah blah blah"

Real recognize real Kim Jong-Ill and you looking v.e.r.y. unfamiliar right now. 

Love,

Franki xx.

P.S - Where you get them shades at son?
