-> a little bit of PMS and EMO-ness for ya'll <-

Doesn't everyone just want someone?.......

There is so much outside pressure and personal yearning to find someone. A person you can hold, someone you can't get enough of, someone you enjoy spending time with. Someone you get along with so much you think they must be nothing but an amazing extension of your own being, but at the same time they're someone totally different and amazing, so much so you can't get enough of them. A person who you can spend all day hanging out with, and after you say good bye their image is imprinted in your mind all night, where you wake up in the morning and cant wait to hear from them or see them again (yes, I felt this way once). I think maybe everyone's got someone, it's just a matter of whether or not they find that particular person and how soon.

Right??.... but what if? What if you're fine on your own? Is it a crime?

Seriously, society and its norms... eish, how depro! What’s so wrong in fixing myself before I allow others in? I want to be sorted on my own, get rid of all the baggage (if I have of course LOL) before I introduce some guy into this little world of mine.  And then, some folk still look at me all weird, like I'm on cheap crack ,haha, when I tell them I'm awesome on my own haha. And have yet to meet Mr Right. What’s so wrong with that? Don’t you just hate it when your family or even friends tell you, “ ooh you're getting old, its time to make a plan. When is the boyfriend/girlfriend coming along?” Shouldn’t it be up to you? Why is it their problem?

Here’s something a very wise friend taught me:

A couple, is 2 things. 1+1 = 2 right? Not 0.5 + 1.

Two whole things make up a couple. So the way I see it, you cant have one fully functioned person in a relationship only. With the other one being “broken” or with baggage. You need 2. TWEE. TRES. Nii whole things. Irrespective of the fact that some people say “ Ya but maybe I can fix him, or he is my savior, he will fix me.” Sorry but it doesn’t work that way! Trust me, I've been the “ I can fix him” girl. Initially it all catches up to you. Call me what you wish, a hater, perfectionist or even a cynic. The fact of the matter is, it should be your business and yours alone whether or not you want someone in your life. PERIOD! (no pun intended) So here's to all the happy single folk out there. Screw the rest! Like Kesha sings “We R who we R” (^___^)

As for me, say la vie → “la vie” bwahahahahahaha

FOOd for Thought

bwahahahaha JOKE OF THE MONTH!!!!

MUSIC IS MY SOUL (M.I.M.S)

No this has absolutely nothing to do with the artist LOL.  (Song currently playing Jamie Cullum – If I ruled the world)

As I'm sitting here, going through my hard-drive, looking for things to delete, I just saw that 123GB is occupied with Music ONLY :) Says a lot about a person no? This is music I've collected ever since I can remember. When I was little, I can remember my dad, granpa and brother watching sport on tele, and I will be sitting by the hi-fi with my earphones :) Either listening to the radio or yes, you guessed it, old school LP's hehehe. Music as old as Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and a classical favourite, Tchaikovsky. I guess the seed was planted there already hehe. People tend to say I'm weird when it comes to my choice of music, then there’s others who compliments me on my great taste of music (pretty chuffed with myself) One things for sure, if it weren’t for music, I would probably be dead or some random person drifting aimlessly around this place we call earth.

I can babble on an on about my favourite artists, bands, songs etc, thing is, there is waaay to many to mention and not just that, I basically like any and all types of music. Yes even country :P So the list will be endless, and not to sound like a prude, but I highly doubt many of you will know who the fook I'm talking about. Music has been my saviour, motivator, cheering me up when ever I'm down and out. My mom always complains when I turn up the volume while I'm busy cleaning or doing something constructive LOL. But funny enough, when I play music from her “time” , she doesn’t say a thing, and even tend to sing along hehe. The best person to listen music with is most probably my brother. He   taught me most of the things I know when it comes to the Rock, Rap, Hip Hop and the Acoustic era. I must say, out of all the genres my most favourite has to be House (whether Electro or African), shortly followed by Dubstep & Drum and Base (a.k.a Jungle) and lastly  Rock (whether Alternative, Emo, Thrash, Metal anything with an electric guitar basically :D)

So to honour my love for music, I went and got a tattoo on my forearm hehe. Crazy, I know, but I loooove it!!!

I am also considering getting an electric guitar incorporated with one bar of music as well as a few cherry blossoms. But that’s a story for another day ;)

All in all I can say that without music I am nothing. It takes me from strength to strength and at times, guides me. I also get things done simpler and faster and it always puts that kick in my step. No matter what (^_____^) What does music do for you?

R. I. P Nate Dogg

As I woke up this morning, my phone rang. And weirdly enough, my ringtone is Regulators. Unaware of the news, I just went on with my regular day. Until I checked my twitter page, and saw everyone tweeting about his unexplained death.

"Nathaniel Dwayne Hale, who came to fame in the 1990s after debuting on Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, died last night at the age of 41. The singer suffered a stroke in 2008. The cause of death has not yet been released." ( http://music-mix.ew.com/2011/03/16/nate-dogg-snoop-dog/ )

I think the Rap community has truly lost a legend. And that he will be missed. 41 years WOW. So young? I only started listening to him and the oh so famous "Regulators"  when I was in high school. 2000 I think. And all thanks to my brother hehe. After listening to Regulators one afternoon while he was working out, I was hooked. After that, my instant favourites were "Ain't no fun if the homies cant have none" and "Lay Low". I bet Warren G wont be the same after yesterday. Sad but true. Don't you think?

Nonetheless, may he r.i.p and forever be remembered as the true Regulator!

Storm in a DD cup?

As I'm sitting here, browsing the internet for "Grecian Style" dresses. I came across a very interesting article. Now many of you make think, yeah yeah its been said and done already, so my bad for not having cable LOL. But what are some women out there thinking when it comes to breast enhancement surgery.

Take Heidi Montag for instance. The Hills recently started on SABC3. And here's this cute skinny girl. Can basically fit into anything. I remember, I was still watching an episode with my one friend, and she told me, "Shame, Heidi looks so fucked up now." Unaware of what she meant, I just continued watching. Until I finally went to Google LOL. And I must say, DANG this beesh is uggo!

  

Here's Heidi before surgery. I think this is a perfect body. Neat size bewbies and great toned stomach and legs. 

And here ladies and gents, is the after.....

Now obviously some men would love a body like this. But can you say Barbie? I'm all for plastic surgery, don’t get me wrong, but there comes a time when enough should be enough and when shit shouldn’t look as fake as this. Don't you agree? The proportions are unreal, the boobs look fake, not to mention her platinum blond tresses and there's just something wrong with the whole picture. Seriously, if I were Spencer, and we were in bed the morning, I'd chew of my arm if she was lying on it. LOL Like Ludacriss does it bwahahaha.

The point I'm trying to make is, big boobies aren’t as glam as Hollywood makes it out to be. You get back pain, stretch marks, cant wear pretty tops all the time, very seldom go bra-less or strapless and men tend to think your face is down there. Trust me, I know ;) Speaking from DD experience, I would rather have an A cup and wear a Wonder Bra, than pay R400 - R600 on a decent Minimizer Bra at Woolworths. I don’t get why most girls want big breasteses. And its just so sad when they get it to impress men.. What about breast feeding one day? Sometimes the attention is ok I suppose, but not ALL THE TIME :( If you get a boob job for yourself, that’s cool. But if its for your ego, to get attention or even for a guy, I kind of think its pathetic. Why not let it grow the natural way LOL. There are so many tricks out there. But once again we can see, that the media and Hollywood has a very strong influence on such trivial matters. *sigh* I'm beginning to think that nothing good ever comes from that place hakwakwa. Nonetheless, each unto his own I suppose.

Thus we can ask ourselves: Do guys really prefer the women this way? Or is it just a myth? Or are women generally so insecure? One thing is for sure, at the end of the day, everyone’s tits and ass sag. No matter the shape or size. The epidermis stretches over a period. Unless you're an alien LAWL.

Euphoria

 

SOMEBODY DYING UNDER A MRI

This is actually pretty cool because before you die, your brain releases tons and tons of endorphins that make you feel a range of emotions. This is why when people die, they see things like “a light” and they feel so euphoric.

* Please pray for Japan *

A tsunami warning has been issued for most of the Pacific after a magnitude 8.9 earthquake struck Japan, triggering a deadly 10-metre high tsunami.
Numerous injuries and at least 19 deaths have been reported after the quake struck off Japan's North Eastern coast on Friday afternoon.

The quake caused many injuries, fires and a wall of water across the coast, prompting warnings to people to move to higher ground.
A tsunami warning was put in force for New Zealand just after 8.30pm, when the US tsunami monitoring centre widened a warning to virtually the entire Pacific coast, including Australia and South America.
New Zealand's Civil Defence said a small tsunami was expected to hit here shortly after 6am on Saturday. It warned boaties to shift vessels.

( taken from , http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/asia/4758653/Tsunami-hits-Japan-after-earthquake )

Even though I have not been there YET, everyone knows Japan is real close to my heart. Therefore, I would like to plead with you all, to say a prayer for Japan and its people, as well as the surrounding countries. It is said that the quake has been the largest ever since Dec 04. With a 8.9-magnitude trembler. "When you jump a magnitude from 7 to 8, it's not 10 times stronger, it's a 1000 times stronger," said CNN International meteorologist Ivan Cabrera. "With an ... earthquake that shallow, that close to shore, there will be more than one tsunami."

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRAY AND MAY GOD BE WITH THEM AND GUIDE THEM!

Marvel vs DC

Over the past few weeks, I have become totally obsessed with superheroes. Movies, Series, you name it. I must say, I have always been a fan of Smallville. Followed it up until season 6. Got tired of waiting for Clark Kent to fly. LOL But then, one random day, I got a preview of what season 9 would look like. Thats when I immediately starting watching again and it also kind of saddened me when I heard season 10 is going to be the last. No more hunky Tom Welling buahahaha.

Also, I suddenly felt the urge to see animated movies. For about 2 years I had some on my drive but never even thought of watching it. I then took one day to have a marathon LOL. I watched greats such as The Green Lantern - First Flight (Ryan Reynolds, to star in the remake), Ultimate Avengers 1&2, Batman Under the Red Hood, Justice League - Two Earths.. etc


This got me thinking, in an all-out brawl to the death, to the very last man, who would win: the DC Universe or the Marvel Universe?
 
In one corner, we have the DC Universe, populated with hosts of nigh-invincible super-beings like Superman, Wonderwoman, Doomsday, Batman, Vision and the Green Lantern. These folks have collectively battled through numerous galactic Crises'. Some immortal and indestructible. In the other corner, the Marvel Universe is full of heroes legendary in their own right, but also flawed and mortal. Marvel characters, by design, are a bit more down to earth. Aside from the Hulk, you’d be hard-pressed to find many ultra-powered beings in the Marvel Universe. You do have super-powerful beings like Doctor Strange, Doctor Doom, Magneto, Professor X, Thor, and Galactus easily capable of delivering a hefty blow to Superman and his homies.

But IMO: When all other heroes fail, there is always one being that stands above them all: Superman. Only two weaknesses could be a chink in the Man of Steel’s armor: kryptonite and his innate goodness. [and yes I'm being biased haha]

So who do you think would win? Would you not pay money to see Tony Stark duke it out with Bruce Wayne? Or the Hulk hold a slugfest with Superman?

<-- too legit -->

After having worked with Justice, Mika and other musicians before, Coca-Cola now gets together with the iconic electronic duo Daft Punk on their latest limited edition “Club Coke” bottle. The bottles of course come in gold and silver, just like the helmets that the two are known to wear for all their public appearances. The bottles will come in a limited edition box set. With a release set for beginning of March 2011, you can be sure that these bottles will be hunted down by fans! Hopefully we will get them here in SA. Because I know alotta Daft Punk Homies :P
