The ability to pretend that nothing happened (with a straight face) and still be confused (yourself) as to whether it actually did happen.

Twenty seven years old, business background for schooling /tech level, but accidentally got into academic administration at a tertiary institution and been stuck doing that since 2002. It wasn’t a complete waste of time as it gave me insights into many opportunities and gave me lots of experience – but the challenge is no longer and the passion just simply does not lie there any more.
For a while now, I frequented live gigs, Checking out artists perform their music live, I was taking pictures of artists, informing people of their gigs on various social networking websites, just always staying on top of happenings in the music industry. Even after the gig, I’d write up a review sometimes, upload my pictures, link it to the event that was created etc.
I even went to extent of learning bbcode to be able to update the biography’s on last.fm (wasn’t that hard).
Gradually this became my passion and people started recognising it and showing an interest in the promo type work that it is I was doing (apparently it’s called specialist marketing according to Paul).
I started looking into the possibility of actually doing this as a career and most importantly, I wanted to be able to survive and maintain myself still, if I were to resign from the admin position.
Thing that probably made me stay on in the interim, is my fear that the industry was small which meant little room for entering into it and that the artists needing the exposure wouldn’t have the money to pay me to do their promos. So I paused the resignation and just barely sticking out the stress, overload of work, and really trying hard to actually get the oomph to wake up in the morning to go to that place. › Continue reading

I really don’t know what it is with me, but I find it hard to part with my body parts after it clearly has no more purpose and has been detached from my body.
Well small body parts not limbs (yet..lol)
I do remember keeping all the following as listed below:
- extracted teeth (at least two)
- my dreadlocks that I cut off in 2001, I still have a few of these that I kept
- my first grey hair, framed in a frame and says “my first grey hair” LOLs
- my tonsils (it was in a surgical liquid – I got it like that from the doctors that operated
No, I don’t keep my toe nails, snotties, hair I clean out from my brush, eye etter, ear wax, plaque on my teeth – that’s just disgusting!
But then I ask myself, is keeping all the others bulleted above then not just as disgusting too?
This post in my opinion is disgusting but please understand, it is just me trying to gage if I’m a weirdo or not – cause now I just got a new tooth today that obviously, I brought home – (it was extracted). The thought just crossed my mind and so I just had to ask around. . .

The world is filled with so many convincing, lying, story-telling, false people! Today was yet another reminder of how wary one should be of those who claim to be your friend, they act nice and behind your back, they talk crap about you.
Shame on my landlord’s husband for convincing her that I lost my keys and that he lent his to me. I have two sets of keys and two remote controls since the day I moved in here back in 2003.
So I rock up at their house as I was asked to go see them to check out the new lease and to swap remote controls but I just thought they needed my remote specifically as the remote has four buttons. She also mentioned in her email to me that they were short of one remote which led me to believe that they definitely needed a spare one to open and close the garage. I only use two of the buttons but the other two could possibly be linked to the garage for them to use.
Get there, and I am suddenly attacked › Continue reading

@ch00n’s car was being moody all weekend so we couldn’t go anywhere. Today we just HAD to do something about not having transport. Like an angel, my landlord came down and suggested we go out for lunch – he drove. We had to sit through a really torturous slow drive that normally takes us 15 minutes get to, but took us nearly 45 minutes today. Sigh, how we missed being mobile today.
What made it worse, there is construction taking place on almost all of Cape Town’s freeways. We were all hungry and decided it would be quicker to take the N1 highway to Pizza Grill King (PGK) in Goodwood. › Continue reading

Made a new last.FM image chart using the chart builder. The my recently played tracks can be seen in a chart style and updated automatically. The purpose was to have a image chart inserted as html onto the sidebar of this site; instead of a plain rss on as previously.

If there’s one household chore that is my pet hate, it’s doing the dishes.
I was chatting to a friend on-line telling him about how I spent most of my Saturday washing up my dishes; I have already washed up three racks of dishes and there’s still more!!! also dried up those three racks full of dishes and packed it away. *proud moment*
Thank goodness it rained today, else I would have been out again and again not done the dishes. Or maybe it rained because I done the dishes?

My first ever contract mobile phone … *daydreaming* . . . ah yes!
October 2007, I will never forget the day I saw my ex with this exact phone and me saying “Aw it’s cute, I also want that” .. SUCKER! Cause two weeks after signing, I already hated the damn phone but it was too late.
As the two year contractual period draws to a close, so too does the functionality that was once, in this Samsung D900i , pesty piece of telephonic device, that I SO despise. *excuse the anger*

As the annual New York African Film Festival draws to a close, I realise I have not blogged about this nor congratulated a friend who’s film premiered at the festival this year.
The 16th annual film festival, was held 08 to 15 April 2009 and will continue again from 22 to 25 May 2009.
The 2009 New York African Film Festival, presented under the banner “Africa in Transition,” takes an introspective journey across the African continent with films that create a vision of Africa’s future through a deconstruction of its past.
It has been 15 years since South Africa’s first all-race democratic elections. In mid-April of this year, South Africa will go to the polls for the fourth time since the end of Apartheid.
With Nelson Mandela long retired, a new generation of leaders governs the country and grapples to maintain the grand ideals that drove the struggle against Apartheid. It is both the best of times, and the most challenging of times!
The films in this year’s New York African Film Festival speak to these challenges.
The Prodigal Son (U.S. Premiere)
Kurt Orderson, South Africa , 2008; 64m. In English and Caribbean Patois.
