Hetox songs


By now you know just how much i love music. If i wasn't a teacher i would really love to be a song writer. the thing about music is that there is always a song for everything your are going through.

Today i have collected a few of my favourite songs to help you get through that bad break-up. These songs are to be listened to in the loudest volume possible. Feel free to sing your lungs out and hope your neighbour don't call NEMA on your behind. Get that girl/boy out of your system. P.S. Whatever you do don't do what the lyrics say just vent... and if possible cry a river then afterwards have a warm bath and then ice cream and see how your world will change after the nap.lol

1. I will survive- Gloria Gaynor
Every one knows this one. You have to listen it loud and do a little dance especially at the chorus which i know most of us know.

2. Its not right but its okay- Whitney Houston
You should watch the music video and see the facial expression on whitney's face, its almost like Jimmy Gathu's on the "acha mpango wa kando" ad. Hilarious! and she has decided to go goth on this one(dressed in all black) and notice there's no man in the video.

3Before he cheats - Carrie Underwood
Carrie sings of what shes gonna to the mans cheating ass after she finds out. The music video is hilarious, but dont go scratching whats-his-face's car. The money you will use to fix will cost you your savings.lol

4. Kerosene - Miranda Lambert
this song is meant to help you vent. The one day you are allowed to vent and wallow in self pity and self loathing. As my pastor normally says "you visit anger and pain but don't overstay your welcome". Tomorrow u gotta wake up dust your self and f-ing get on that horse already.

...i started smoking cigarrttes theres nothing left to do...
...i am giving up on love coz love has given up on me...

don't internalize these words though!sawa?

5.You oughta know- Alanis Morrisette
This is especially good when your lover as moved with a fine chiq and your effing jealous. So you decide to attack her too but whatever you do never confront her coz maybe she doesn't know he is a no-good, two-timing,lying-cheating..ok you get my drift.
You just admit how his going away broke you and just vent. Watch the the video and be inspired to vent.lol

6.I should have cheated - Keisha Cole
When you suspect him of cheating and he just switches everything on you. He changes and says you cheated to avoid being confronted.
A friend of mine confronted her hubby and was whipped almost half to deff, and yes they are still together.jerk!
This is especially appropriate when after you have caught him but you don't intend to leave just yet.lol

7.Irreplaceable - Beyonce
This is dedicated to you who is dating a guy who has no job. I wouldn't call it dating though, more like babysitting.lol. So now you got your senses back and you now he gotta go.

I especially love when she removes his jacket and necklace funny.lol

8.separated - Usher

...If love was a bird, you and I couldnt have wings...
...If love is the Bible, you and i are lost in sin...

beautiful words!This is perfect when you have agreed to separate and go your way coz clearly it ain't working.Feel free to cry during the chorus. I know i did.lol

9.You had me- Joss Stone

...instead of making money you took mine...
..make your mistakes on your on your own time..

Again for you who is dating the broke ninja.lol. I love how she packs her bags and leaves the looser a note(in the music video of course) She calls her girlfriend to crash at her place. This is why you should never dump your girls when you got a new beau.

10.Hate(I really don't like you) - Plain white T's
This is for the guys who have lost the chiq they loved. Its okay you can cry in the bathroom no one has to know.lol.

...hate is a strong word..but i really dont like you...

11.Fuck you - Eamon

..fuck you, you hoe..i dont want you back..

come on say it loud.lol. Look out for the reply to the song(Fuck you right back.hilarious)

12.Ur so gay - Katy Perry
...ur so gay and you dont even like boys...
...you walk around like you're oh so debonair, you pull em down and there's nothing
there...

Its just a mean song to help you get out that anger.Whatever you do, don't drunk dial him and say these words tihihihi.

13.Hit the free way - Toni Braxton
How could i forget her? she has the loveliest of voices. This song is when you have decided after receiving a lot of bull from your now not so significant other. You're not really mad because you saw it coming. You actually feel sorry for the cheater's ass. he has realised what he did was wrong after you have run out of second chances.

...maybe in some other life i'll see you again...

14.Fighter - Christina Aguilera
I admire her perspective on breakups.How she can look at a breakup positively, while i am always busy baying for someone's blood.lol.

...makes me that much stronger, makes me work a lil bit harder,
...makes me that much wiser, thanks for making me a fighter,
...makes me run a lil bit faster,makes my skin a lil bit thicker,

15. Survivor - Destinys Child
This is especially for that ex who made you feel like you can't do anything without him...Like the sunrises and sets in his eyes... like without him you are nothing. Then you need this song to re affirm what your mama taught you. Yous a survivor and you will make it.word!

I love in the beginning how the singers are shipwrecked with tattered clothes because that's how breakups feel like...ship wreck!

16. Since you've been gone - Kelly Clarkson
For when you are in a toxic relationship but you don't see it. After he's left that's when you realize how dysfunctional the two of you were. Now you don't feel so bad, your a bit relieved. now you know what you don't want in a man.lol

17.Pray for you - Jason and The long road to love
Again the singer is just venting and he makes the kinda prayer that God of course wont listen to.
...i pray your breaks go out when your running down a hill...
he's basically being blasphemous.lol. Its amazing what loss of love can make you say.

18.So what - Pink
Of course you're not a rock star but it makes good for when you are angry. Just watch the video and see pink being her usual crazy self.

...i am alright and you are a tool!

Just like a pill - Pink
Still on Pink. The lyrics are hilarious. I love how she plays with words.Just as the song suggests, you are in a toxic relationship and instead of changing for the better you're getting worse. You know in your heart its time to vamoose baby!

19. Cheated on me - Gavin Degraw
one of those woiye songs. He knows she is cheating and he doesn't need to be told because all the signs are there. If you loved "i don't wanna be" and "Chariot" you will definitely love this one

...im love sick somewhere tonight..
...i don't need writing on the wall, i have felt it for so long

20.Leave(Get out) - Jojo
I cant believe she was a teenager when she sang this song. The "boys stink" tee left me in stitches. ..and the way she drops the phone? priceless.
Great song to hetox to... have a listen.lol

random

Hi, my name is vicky and i am addicted to you tube.lol
i am trying out how i would introduce myself in youtubeaddicts anonymous meeting. I have been spending alot of time on you tube that i have neglected all other interests including looking for a job seeing as am currently unemployed and my mama keeps wondering nitahmaa lini.

Anyoo Ive been watching the old music versus the new music and one thing i have noticed a lot has changed. During the times of Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker, Marvin Gaye love songs/Baby making songs were a bit decent. Whenever they were referring to sex they would use polite words and none of the lewd language that is all over the modern love songs. I remember someone joking that you have to wear a condom just to listen to some songs.

Don't even get me started on the movies. We have since graduated from simple kisses to full blown nudity. I cant remember the last time i watched a movie with no sex scene. The number of tushies and titties i have seen is enough to drive any one insane. It has reached a point that it doesn't even bother me like it used to.I have come to accept the filth and garbage that my telly has to offer. Its useless fighting it NTV with the censoring, the damage has already been done.

My big worry is that there's no longer the aura of mystery around the relationship between men and women. I mean its all out there. People even talk openly about "self love" without even batting an eyelid like its nothing serious. Now we know what goes on in the bedrooms even the small child knows. No wonder children are experimenting way too early with sex. Nothing is no longer sacred. I see couples taking funny photos of themselves and uploading on all the social networks shamelessly.(and its not funny-hahahaha). They even communicate personal things on there for everyone to see(i don't know if its because they dont have phones) .Things which according to me are meant for the two people... things meant for lovers only.

Thanks to the "openness" our young men have their heads filled with ideas. Now all of a sudden love is not enough...The list now is a bit longer...and it growing by the day. Just being myself is not good enough... Now suddenly they want me to shave the "dirty south", invest in Knee padding while i am at it and assume certain disfiguring position etc.

Thanks to them my head has been filled with ideas of what a man is supposed to be like. I now want flowers, i want doors to be opened, the mans cum-face to be cute and him not to nyira and look like he is having seizures. smh. suddenly i cant stand his natural smell..why when he can buy a scent from the shelves? Now his belt has to match with his shoes, now his shirt has to have cufflinks etc

Whats with all these PDAs anyways. Why cant we all be secretive and save some things for just the one you love and make him/her feel special? Let some things be just for lovers only.

my take on dowry payment/bride price

dowry/brideprice/lobolla/Mahr/Chulo ayie/mahari

A few months ago a lady came forward and announced that she expects the man of her dreams to pay one million as her bride price as she is well educated.(Just when you think we are making progress in the gender equality movement some one comes forward and makes this disgusting proclamations and undo the progress we have made as a society.) There was an uproar in the social networks with people calling her names and she quickly disappeared as fast as she had appeared.

The incident angered the Kenyan Bachelors. I am told there's even a movement (Kenya Dowry Reformation Movement) that seeks to abolish the paying of dowry. This is because some greedy parents are abusing it to enrich themselves. In my village a man was unable to raise the impossible dowry the Bride's parents were asking for. The man went away dejected and the lady committed suicide. so sad!

...and what is this garbage that some parents want compensation for taking their daughter to school as if the grooms parents didn't work equally as hard to educate their son. I remember joking to some guy that "mimi ni mtoto wa wenyewe" and he polite me asked me "kama yeye sio mtoto wa mtu pia". The idea of someone wanting compensation for taking care of their flesh and blood is really appalling and those parents ought to be ashamed of their selves.This mentality has made some men mistreat their wives because they feel like they bought something and can use as they wish.

The only time i will support the payment of dowry is if its used as a way to unite the two families, and also if its not coerced and the groom is given room to give what he is comfortable giving. Its supposed to be a token not a time for the groom to break the bank. Its not a price tag on the woman. I mean if you take all his money what will he use to feed the bride?

Just as the ring symbolizes unity between two people getting married so does the dowry ceremony to the two families. This ceremony gives the groom a chance to really see the family he is getting into and the brides family is able to see that the suitor is able to take care of his wife and the children who are yet to be born.Its a symbol of sincerity and good faith that brings together the two families

I would encourage the ladies too when you go to visit your husband's side carry a token to as a sign of good faith too. No one has to know about it though.lol.
