V for Valentines

Yes it's here again , that beautiful wondrous day where wallets come out and swag fills up restaurants , cologne, new clothes
and lets not forget the credit cards, chocolates ,flowers, how big are you going this year . Are you gonna be be with the one you love or
you will be loving the one your with ?

The excitement has dulled down, no one thinks the day is cool anymore , it's just one more day that she gets everything she wants
and ya that's that. I'm not really looking forward to the day personally , I'm gonna hide out at my flat , social media will be assaulted
with all the valentines this and that .
Thinking my chances of scoring a hot girl within the next few days are very high , very high might as well take advantage of this
most loving day of the year , interesting thing to know would be the world-wide stats on violence against woman and children comparing
this day to other holidays , are we less violent on days such as these ?


Question of jealousy may come out , a few tips to survive valentines for all those naughty people

1 Switch off your phone once you meet up with your partner
2 Plan ahead and avoid local places , for when you meet the other person in your life
3 Always bring extra cash just in case
4 Find a dark corner in a restaurant and relax
5 Inform the others you're not gonna be available so they should not try contact you
6 Since it's on a Friday don't drink and drive rather go out for dinner and buy some drinks for later
7 This is a great time to get out of the friend zone , show intention
8 No chatting Allowed going back to point 1 , phone not on silent but OFF!!!

Approval junkies

Just the other day i had 99% positive feed back about a project i did and that 1 person's view ruined the other
99% ,now isn't that funny. Then i remembered something i once read ,
"One does not miss the absence of 1 rose when holding a thousand roses" But it hurts right ,you start ignoring the rest of the
people who acknowledge your work because of 1 person . Why do we do that to ourselves ?

One can say maybe we take that rejection very personal , i mean why does everyone acknowledge it
and that one person just doesn't, period. And why does it even matter .
"Fear or revere me, but please think I'm special." We share an addiction. We're approval junkies.
We're all in it for the slap on the back and the gold watch. The "hip, hip, hoo-fucking-rah." Look at the clever boy
with the badge, polishing his trophy. Shine on, you crazy diamond. Cos we're just monkeys wrapped in suits,
begging for the approval of others " Jake Green from Revolver (2005)

I remember the first time i heard that line , wow it flawed me dead . I mean aren't we ? lets just be honest here , everybody
enjoys a compliment every now and then but when that rejection comes it takes us back to our little corner in the dark.
Looking at the definition, Approval: the belief that something or someone is good or acceptable: a good opinion of someone or
something: permission to do something : acceptance of an idea, action, plan, etc. One can see why we might need peoples approval
but to what extent are we exposing ourselves to these rejections and approvals. I feel somewhat confused between the two ,
can one exist without the other ?

Changing times

Are you ready ?

Maybe its just me but I have this idea in my mind where I go to school , graduate , get a nice job , townhouse and a car. Meet a girl , pay lobola , have 2 kids . Retire at 50 , then start going to alot of funerals and family parties , basically WAIT FOR DEATH !! Sounds horrible right but that's the plan.


Then I got thinking what if I turned the tables around and did the Not so normal thing.
I mean why not go out at my own pace , why not create my own path , why 2 kids , why a town house , why just 1 wife and a nice car , i want a Jet .

I wanna travel the world , learn at least 10 languages . Not attend any funerals or parties and not invite anyone to mine. Maybe that makes me a loner but I'm tired of pretending , aren't you ? I actually want a genuine smile and a laugh , how many of our so called "friends" actually have the capacity to help you out when your in a jam, will even bother calling you back , talking about calling is it me or people just don't call each other these days , we chat "right. The only time a "friend" will call is when they need a favour . I do call my friends , i think . Been without bis for a month now and my phone is really quiet .

So lets go out with a bang, smile, make the call, reply to that massage, don't just say yes to the invite actually attend, switch of your phone and have a conversation with the people you love, enjoy a meal and actually taste the food.
I am ready.

When the lights went off!!
