No sense Sensation

Suddenly everyone in town or rather music lovers all over the world are "Konvicted". Yes, its AKON everwhere!! Be it headphones while jogging or a cool party with friends-if its Akon your sure to have everyone grooving. Msn,yahoo or orkut,nicknames or personal messages are sure to have Konvict with all the extra $*$#!ss
Me being a self confessed 'serious' music listener (the ones with good beats and extra good lyrics) find myself tapping my feet to everything playing under the title 'Akon'. At a recent party I actually saw the DJ asking people if they wanted to hear something besides Akon as every second song requested was... you know what!!
A Senegalese African, AKON moved to the United States when he was seven. His family is headed by legendary percussionist and jazz musician Mor Thiam, whose expertise for playing the Djembe, a traditional African drum, has been touted as "unrivaled".
Whatever it is,but one things for sure, this dynamic singer/songwriter/producer's music (nonsense though it may be) is simply just lovable! AKON's personal appeal and ability to reach a listener with his distinctive vocals and a relaxed singing style is whats taking him places.
And now I'm off for a drive with friends and its sure to be Akon all the way:)

Destination Next

With the head held high and sky being the limit
I follow the path that is less trodden
Onward through this journey of life
I travel alone in this crowd of millions.

I plan, I decide, on the turns of my life
And for a moment do believe
That this ship of my life I can guide
And steer it through to the other side.

But everytime I put my plan to action
Deeming my ships on clear waters
A sudden storm pours out of heaven
And ship wrecked I'm tossed on a new land.

Thus my life alters with each new turn
And to reach my destination,I shall always yearn.

However,on each new turn of my journey
I'v seen a land I had never seen before
And thus the experience that life brings
Is something I'm greatful for, above all things.

For to reach the top is what I aspire
But what keeps me eager and wanting to live
Is the thought that though lost I may be
There is always a newer land to see.
