coz we are living, in a material world...

After an interesting discussion yesterday afternoon. I couldn't help but post this. Since when do material things define who we are?

Ek mean maar. Hier in die Paarl is 'n hele paar mense wat dink hulle belongings maak vir hulle kwai. Someone asked me the other day, "Since when do our cars make us awesome?" Afrikaans vertaling: Van waaneer af maak wat jy ry, vir jou beter as ander? Ek kan my net so verkyk. Eks jammer, but ek gaan nie sand vreet net om ander mense te impress nie. Why buy a car with an instalment of a house's just to prove to idiots who don't even give a flying fuck about you, that you're the shit? LOL madness I tell you. 

By all means. If you can afford it. Go for it. But do it for the right reasons. Not impress people. And don't make the car an extension of your ego. That is soooo 2000-and-LAME! 

Simply put. Material possessions, and status never mattered to me. Want as jy nie nou van my gaan hou nie, gaan jy nooit. Simply put, others's opinion doesn't matter to me. In the wise words of PDivvy aka Peter DeVilliers,"I am who I am and I don't give a damn."  

So jy kan maar jou flashy kar ry, en maak asof jy die shit is, (btw why would I wana be a piece of manure?) dit maak nie van jou 'n beter mens nie. Nog minder maak dit jou beter as ek ;)

Gin wonder meer en meer mense vertrek uit die Paarl uit, want die mentaliteit van die mensies hier gaan my verstand te bowe. Small pond mentality I tell you!

Keep it real bitches!!
