A Saying

The Calm Before The Storm

I always wondered what people meant by that saying the calm before the storm. Cause quite frankly who knows when the storm is going to start or end in the first place so how can they use this saying or term and amazingly it would make sense at the time of it being said.

Well as dippy as i am and can be i think i have come up with what i think is explanation for the saying. For example for the past few weeks i was contemplating ending a long term and very long distance relationship and i thought that was the calm cause i wasnt sure whether i should do it or not. So when i eventually made my mind up and did it, when he realised that it was over he blew up. So actually my contemplation of the break up was the calm before and the storm was his reaction to the break up. Am i right?

Anyways i thought that storm would never end but it has recently started calming down again and things are actually better now then it was last week and the week before. So right now my point is i finally know what the calm before the storm is and it was definately worth it cause i now think its great being single.......

Enough of my rant now, think its time to get back to work (which i never do anyways, lol)

Break Up

Have you ever just gone through a time in your life where you faced with the task of having to break up with someone? You end up wondering is it the right thing to do or is it the wrong thing to do. Yet you firmly believe that a break up is essential and you feel its the only thing to do.

Right so you end up doing it, whats the feeling you get once youve done it? maybe you feel shocked cause you cant believe you actually went through with it or do you feel relieved that its all over? So then a few weeks down the line you realise "ok well i think i made a mistake", what is it you do?

Point of the matter is, you always sit down and think what would be best or what the right thing to do as far as relationship, life and even work is concerned but is that really the right thing to do or are you just tryna convince yourself that its the right thing to do? You face different challenges everyday that has you thinking is this right or is this wrong. i think that a person shouldnt just says is this right or is this wrong.i say ride the wave and see whats at the end of it, maybe its a good ride maybe its not but you wont know until you actually try it!!!!!

2007

Its a brand new year

Like everyone else with a new year comes new ways, new thoughts and just new things. Yet so many things has been left undone from the last year. So what does one do? either you finish unfinished business or you just forget it and start new things. But will the new things however work and fall into place with the unfinished business? i doubt it!!

Well like everyone else i to have unfinished business and decided that this year will bring tons and tons of new developments and thoughts. Maybe move companies, maybe meet new people and the one most ladies constantly promise they will do maybe lose some weight (i think thats the hardest thing to do btw).

Just a thought, dont look at tomorrow as a struggle but look at tomorrow as a new lease on life, If finishing unfinished business is what is on your mind then maybe its there for a reason, to finish it. Who knows a great reward may come from that or a learning curve could come from it. Dont dodge what life has to throw at you but take the hit and work your way through it.

Anyhoooosss enough of my rant and rave, have an enjoyable 2007!!!!!

Yellow Brick Road

Eminem - Yellow Brick Road

[Intro]
What we have to do is deal with it when these idividuals are young enough. If you wish to be
saved, not in a religious sense but not to constitute what this country at times calls if or
which over. We seem to be approaching an age of the gross. We all have this idea that we should
move up from our parents station and each generation should do a little bit better.

[Verse 1- Eminem]
Come on, let's cut the bullshit enough
Let's get it started, let's start addressing this issue and open it up
Let's take this shit back to bassmint
And we can disscuss statements thats made on this tape
And its whole origin of the music that we all know and love
The music that we all enjoy the music you all accuse me of tryna destroy
Let's rewind it to 89 when I was a boy on the east side of Detroit
Crossin 8 Mile in the border in the hate territory
I'd like to share a story, this is my story and cant no body tell it for me
You will well inform me, I am well aware that I don't belong here
You've made that perfectly clear, I get my ass kicked damn near everywhere
>From Bel-Air shopping center just for stopping in there
>From the black side all the way to the white side
Okay there's a bright side a day that I might slide
You may call it a past I call it haulin my ass
Through that patch of grass over them railroad tracks
Oh them railroad tracks, them old railroad tracks
Them good old notorious oh well known tracks

[Chorus x2]
Come on lets go back
Follow the yellow brick road as we go on another episode
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
I once used to call home sweet home

[Verse 2- Eminem]
I roam the streets so much they call me a drifter
Sometimes I stick up a thumb just to hitch hike
Just to get picked up to get me a lift to 8 mile and van dike
And steal a god damn bike from somebody's backyard
And drop it off at the park that was the half way mark
To meet Kim had to walk back to her mama's them dramas after dark
To sneak me in the house when I'm kicked out my mom's
Thats about the time I first met Proof when poof he'd carry on the set
Set eyes born in and out some flyers, he was doin some talent shows
At center line, I had told him to stop by and check this out sometime
He looked at me like I'm out my mind shook his head like white boys dont know how to rhyme
I spit out a line and rhymed birthday with first place
And we both had the same rhymes that sound alike
We was on the same shit that Big Daddy Kane shit with compound syllables sound combined
From that day we was down to ride somehow we knew we'd meet again somewhere down the line

[Chorus x2]
Come on lets go back
Follow the yellow brick road as we go on another episode
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
I once used to call home sweet home

[Verse 3- Eminem]
My first year in 9th grade, can't forget that day at school
It was cool till your man MC Sham came through
And said that Boom was the brain cuz the clan makes troops
It was rumors but man god damned they flew
Musta been true because man we done banned they shoes
I had the new ones the Cool J, Ice land swayed too
And we just through them in the trash like they yesterday's news
Guess who came through next, X clam debut
Professor X and glorious exists in a state of red, black, and green
With a key sissies now with this bein a new trend
We don't fit in crackas is out with Cactus albums
Blackness is in, African symbols and medallions
Represents black power and we ain't know what it meant
Me and my man Howard and would go to the mall with 'em
All over our necks like we're showin 'em off not knowin at all
We was bein laughed at you ain't even half black
You ain't supposed to have that homie let me grab that
And that Flavor Flave clock we gon' have to snatch that
All I remember is meetin back at Manix's basement
Sayin how we hate this, our races wit dope the x clan take this
Which reminds me back in 89 me and Kim broke up for the first time
She was tryna two time me and there was this black girl
At our school who thought I was cool cuz I rapped so she was kinda eyein me
And oh the irony guess what her name was ain't even gon' say it plus
The same color hair as hers was and blue contacts and a pair of jugs
The bombest god damn girl in our whole school if I could pull it
Not only would I become more popular but I would be able to piss Kim off at the same time
But it backfired I was supposed to dump her but she dumped me for this black guy
And thats the last I ever seen or heard or spoke to the oh foolish pride girl
But I've heard people say they heard the tape and it ain't that bad
But it was I singled out a whole race and for that apologize
I was wrong cuz no matter what color a girl is she still a (bitch?)

[Chorus x2]
Come on lets go back
Follow the yellow brick road as we go on another episode
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
I once used to call home sweet home

One thing always helps

Whats this all about?

Have you ever had one thing in your life that you could always turn to whenever your down or whenever your nervous or excited or just need to sit down and think?

I tend to find myself seeking comfort from one thing when it comes to all the abovementioned instances. Amazingly enough that one thing that comforts me comes in a form of a song. I sit and ask myself what relevance this one song has in my life and never come up with the proper answer but whenever i feel down, nervous, excited or whatever different moods there are, i always tend to think of that one song.

Sings for the Moment - Eminem

If you have listened to this song you will realise that its not the person that does it, it has nothing to do with the genre it is in. What it has to do with is the fact that the song portray's something in everyones life. Even though most people dont like to admit it but take 4minutes of your life find this song, sit down and listen to it and you will sit there and start thinking "Hey that reminds me of myself"

Well at the end of the day just do or go to the one thing that will always help you get through certain emotions and moods. do that to seek comfort and feel better or stronger cause it helps. If youd like to share my comforter go ahead i dont mind!!!!!!!

The ICE effect

The Run Around

This weekend was a blast infact i havent had so much fun for quite a while. My friends and i had a sleep over and at 21h00pm myself and a friend decided that the sleep over was just not doing it for us. So what we did was go on a while goose chase looking for the perfect pub....

I always promised my friend that if he finishes school i would take him out for a night and this year he is doing his final exam for Grade.12, so because im a person of my word i do as i say. We went looking for a good place to go and we couldnt find a place until we stumbled across the new ICE LOUNGE we have down here in cape town.

So i decided that, that will be the venue for the night and what a venue it turned out to be. The lounge is made of nothing but ice. you get given the standard poncho as it is freezing in that place. It took about 60 tons of ice to make that lounge and they got a few paint artists to do some kick ass creations on the wall and then iced it in. But as the night went on and after about our 4th cocktail each the party started rocking, music loud, people all over and just plain and pure capetonian fun. we ended up leaving the lounge at about 1h00am quite spritely and cheery and ended the night off with a couple of blizzards.

Ever get the chance to walk the streets of Cape Town, the new ICE LOUNGE is the place to be, guarenteed fun all round. But see to it that the company you go with is fun and not boring. I have already received a call from my friend saying that we have to go to the ICE LOUNGE again on saturday...hmmmmmmmm will have to see
