"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE LEADING LADY IN YOUR OWN LIFE, FOR GODS SAKE!"

I don’t go to sleep to dream…

Sometimes people look at me and all they see is a wishy washy day dreamer, a scattered person with no direction in her life. And I suppose it’s their right to think of me whatever they want. And I will be honest by saying that sometimes I prefer it that way. As a matter of fact the only time I don’t like it is when people don’t take me seriously for that very reason.

I pride myself in the fact that I always try and look deeper than what’s on the surface, as a matter of fact I can’t help looking deeper. So this message is one of slight anger towards people who think they are so intelligent and people who think they can possible know me.

How dare you look at me, and put me into a stereotype. All you see is a girl with long black hair and the Goth label jumps out, and your mind is fixed with some pathetic explanation of how and what gothic people are. You look at my friends and you immediately assume drug addict? When you ask me what my favourite colour is and I answer blue and it just happens to be a complete different colour to when you asked me 5 months earlier you label me liar!!! What gives you the right to look at me when I’m crying and tell me not to cry because I’m manipulating you? How dare you assume that I must be really bad with numbers just because I can paint? What gives you the right deduct that I am a rich snob, just because I choose not to mingle with you and who died gave you the right to think that I’m stupid just because I have nothing to say about your boring topic of conversation.

When did it become the norm to be such and asshole?

To all those people, this is all I have to say: Your narrow-mindedness in life will catch up with you one day, (and as Karma is the biggest bitch known) I will be there to witness how you have locked yourself into a small colour-coded box, surrounded by 50 replicates of one person representative of your whole friendship circle, doing math and wishing you were high just to escape your own reality!!

I am not perfect but I am willing to wage my mothers’ life on the fact that neither are you! I have not stopped planning my perfect life and every morning when I wake up, I am reborn. I have no hopes, and more ambitions. And yes, I have a new favourite colour!!! That’s who I am!!!! I don’t ask anyone else to change so stop putting me into a little category box!

You have so much to say about me, most of it negative, but my granddad always used to say that the tallest trees get the most wind. So sod off!!!!

I don’t go to sleep to dream!!! I live my dreams!

Chicks or Dicks? That is the question…

Now before all the perverts get excited this is only a PG 13 kinda blog.
This has to do with the different dynamics between you and your girlfriends and you and your boy friends. I just had a conversation with one of my friends, who had gotten herself into a bit of pickle…

Here’s the problem, so girl meets boy while out with all her other friends… Boy falls for girl and then all the friends disappear. Now people this happens, I mean, I’ve recycled friends for this very reason so many times, I can’t keep track of who I used to be friends with.

However as we all know relationships fizzle out, the day will come when you have very little to say to one another. And then you start looking around to see where all your friends went and realize that they are gone. And this is where the shit hits the fan… You NEED new friends and you need them rather urgently or you will commit murder or worse try to fabricate conversation with your less than perfect, boring counterpart…
So now that your friends have left and you have no one to talk to or more importantly get drunk with. You start doing stupid things like latch on to the employee everyone has learnt to avoid. It starts all innocently and you just invite her to a braai (I call that the pity Invite) and it all snowballs from there, suddenly she is going on holiday with you, and she is going in her terms…
Now although you don’t have much to say to your BF that still doesn’t give her the right to tart herself out to him, or to display general slag characteristics around you. But alas that is exactly what happens. So now you have to choose chicks or Dicks?

Now ladies, take some advice from me, and never ever form “Desperation Friendships” they’re dangerous, and these people are usually leaches!!!! Friendship is like every other thing in life, and this is how you should weigh it up. If it (whatever IT might be) doesn’t add to life positively then chuck it, you will be wasting your time, money and energy, and you might even be wasting your tears. And I am off the opinion that tears should be saved for special occasions only, like the birth of your child or the day your daughter gets married.

And that is all I have to say on the subject.

Compliments to SA MUSIC!!!!!

Ok, so the very select few who know me in person will know that I love music. Now people in saying that I realize that there are very few people out there that take the stance that they hate music… But I love music. I think that if I wasn’t also a talented sports person, music studies would have taken a preference. And in my defense I can also add that I only date musicians.

Now, my favourite bands include the brilliant Pearl Jam, Collective Soul, Radiohead and Tool amongst others. And I am very selective when it comes to selecting CD’s. I would however like to say that I think SA music has outperformed the International performers as of late. I mean OMG… It blows my mind how talented these people are. I must admit that after Fetish broke up and moved away, I thought we were all doomed. And it’s needless to say that it’s not like my favourite bands come to Sunny SA often and I was dreading nights at home with the light off and the CD player on full volume pretending to be at one of their concerts.

I am glad to announce that with likes of Parlotones, Josie Field( whom I joined at the Radium on Sat) Prime Circle, Niemand, Wonderboom, Louise Carver and Harris Tweed I will no longer have to annoy my neighbours with my loud music.
Seriously people, I am in awe, I am dumbstruck. These people are amazing!!! They are competing in an international arena! Like I said I went to the Radium Beer Hall on Sat to support Josie. And this girl is amazing. Her voice range is incredible and well her stage presence is absolutely towering! I am a fan.
I really think that SA peeps can really get behind their own homegrown bands and start supporting these people!!!!!
Anyways, Thanx to Josie Field for a brilliant CD and the nice note on the one I bought! Looking to catch you again soon!!!
