IM me!!!

When I was in High school I had a crush on this pretty young lady who was in the same class as I. Shy as I was all I did was stare at her beauty hours on end. Everyone in the classroom knew that I had a crush. I wrote love letters that never made it to her. Rehearsed proposing to her all the time but I never made it to the stage. Then came our final year fortunately I got with her and a dance at the farewell party. A few years down the line my little brother goes through the same thing. Beauty has tamed the beast but fortunately for him all he has to do is get the lady's contact and chat his way to her heart. This is the new age Mass Communication has a whole new meaning. The words email and internet are commonly used. In South Africa there are over 39 million mobile subscribers which is 80% of the population. The days of visiting friends and making phone calls have come to an end.

These cages

I visited the Zoo this Sunday such a beautiful sight. I came to realise how beautiful nature is. There are many kinds/species of animals which fascinates me. Big and small it was a lovely outing. People were there with their families, couples also featured and the kids really had fun as they were running around all over the place. The mood is wonderful with people Braaing, drinking and having a good time. It’s also educative for the kids in that they learn about real life animals and ways in which to take care of them.

There other thing that i noticed, is that even though this is the only way some of us will ever get to see the king of the jungle from such a close distance. That these animals were caged they looked so lifeless. Wild Animals are meant to be in the wild. They have become objects they are not living the life they are meant to be living. I then started thinking that we are also caged. We have locked ourselves up behind social bars, financial bars, Religious bars and so forth. For most of us life has become a routine. We are trapped and caged in our own lives. Our lives full potential is not achieved. This is the situation as it is all under heaven (all animals us included) Conform to the same thing being enslaved. But then again the Animals at the Zoo didn't enslave themselves we put them there. Break the bars and relieve yourself from slavery. You have enslaved yourself you hold the key. You only have one chance one lifetime don't waste it.

I am generation now

This weekend was a Crazy one. First weekend of spring came with a bang. It’s now post the World Cup and i believe that the spirit is still alive. Business owners are loving it. Even after the recession people are spending like nobody's business "excuse the pun". I am from a small town called Atteridgeville west of Pretoria the Capital of South Africa. You could feel that the mood had changed to emulate the season spring, which is all about brightness and Colour. One thing that stuck on my mind this weekend was the way that the generation that comes after us live. As i roamed the street i saw teenagers from the ages of 10 to 18, running around with beer bottles and cooler boxes. Young girls were dressed inappropriately to say the least. My heart was broken at the realisation that our parents were right we are the lost generation. These are the leaders of tomorrow Politicians, Doctors and Policemen of our future. We are disgraced by their unthoughtful actions. How are they representing the youth of South Africa? I am disgusted i don't even know how to express my anger.

I am 24 years of age which technically means i still fall under the youth of today. A Politician, Doctor or Policeman of the future. Instead of pointing fingers at the younger generation for their actions. What am i doing to motivate them otherwise? What am i doing to uplift my community? If i myself am not contributing anything into my community than i am no better than they are. The lost generation is a title that suits me best. I am now the power is in my hands. The future lies in me. Let’s find our generation and leave a legacy that would make this world a better place.

I write her

She has soft lips but harsh words,
Intellect that strains my nerves, beautiful and sexy at the same time Oh!! Yes the girl is mine.
At her, i like her better yet i love her even better i write her.
Soft beautiful soft skin, whatever i am thinking right now has to be a sin, Amen an then some. Every time i see her my whole body shakes, but when she touches me only one part shakes. Her face to me is like Facebook i can't wait to update my status, I can't wait to check my notifications to see if there is any Poking between us. She tweets my Love i tweet hers, she is the trendy topic and has been for years and years. I write her beauty, i write her serenity, i write her humility. I have written her but my pen is still full of ink, there so much more to write but it seems more beautiful to think...........

Social Networking does privacy mean anything there?

I have been on Facebook for the past 2-3 years. It has been a platform for me to voice out my feelings in real-time. Sharing thought, pictures and links was all it was about then. Some people have met though Facebook or have been reunited with long lost friends. My friendship list has topped the 750 mark. Which i guess most will say i am an addict. As Technology evolved so did all these social networking sites conform to keep up. The internet is big now the life source to many businesses, Organizations, Individuals etc. Only one problem always prevails does privacy exist on the internet. I am not referring to fraudulent schemes (Phishing, spamming etc). I am referring to our status updates, picture sharing and blogging, Can you really say whatever you want to say without being scrutinized. Through my experience with my 750 friends and 200 followers. I have realised that it's not possible. My girlfriend of two years has not yet been bitten by the Social network bug. For the past few months i was using these Social networking sites for seeking advice about our relationship. Only to find that all my status updates, comments, Likes and dislikes were being flooded to my girlfriend, which led to World War 3. We survived the war fortunately but that has made me realise that Privacy does not exist in these realms. In the news a few days ago a certain lady was being prosecuted for posting pictures of herself while she was in there army. This proves that freedom is not as free as we perceive it be aware of what u say, post or share. Social networking sites are for us to be socially active, discuss Social events, places and people do not i repeat DO NOT mistaken it for your Journal or diary.

My new Blogpost

My writing is my second nature. Thinking is my first nature i live in my imagination. My thoughts are my home, my thoughts are my hopes and my thoughts are what i would love reality to be. I always ask myself is it possible to be able to decode communication in the human mind. How wonderful would that be. Firstly we would be able to correct any errors. We could Delete bad memories, Load new or updated version of our software(emotions, talents and the whole Operating system). Life would be so blissful life would be so great but then we would not be unique we would all be labeled under one name. we would still discriminate each other as some people would Macintosh and others Microsoft. Most people would not be able to afford those upgrades. I write straight from my head because most of the time i can feel, sense, live and breathe the words but i can't put them to paper. This Blog will be all about how i see the world. Inform, Educate and Entertain will be my main focus as i am an aspiring writer i would gladly welcome your comments hope you enjoy.
