Need for Speed
I feel the need …… The need for speed.
We all need to work. Its near impossible to go thru life without working. It really does not matter if you are born blessed to a luxurious life or just plain lucky. There was this show that was related to me by a friend. It was about this 16 yr old brat, who has a luxurious life, and I mean like really luxurious, but was whining away about being adopted. It seems like the brat just wouldn’t count the blessings heaped on.
I know you probably think that it does not make up for being adopted but think about the rest of the people out there who were adopted over and over again, or those abused by their adopted parents, or those who have neither or those who have nothing.
Well this is actually digressing from what I am actually supposed to be talking about. What I wanted to highlight here is the rat race. Not that in the work place but the rat race to get to the rat race. I am talking about the highways.
Driving or riding to work seems to be more hazardous these days than it used to be. Its almost impossible to take a drive without seeing some form of mis-adventure. These would include anything from skids, to impacts, to plain ignorance. Thus far I’ve managed to avoid getting into any real accident, However I would no
t be surprised if I were to get into one at any point of time.
Bikers pose a major threat to themselves as well as other users. They seem to be even more of a danger to their own lives at most times. I bike to work daily and even I can’t stand these people. They over take on the wrong side, they tail gate, they speed when they shouldn’t, and they put me in danger.
Drivers are just as bad, worse possibly. They couldn’t bother if there was space to cut in, or if there was an on-coming vehicle, and worse still, they don’t bother to signal when trying to cut in. I would certainly like to relate every single incident where I was put in harms way via their actions but that would take daily updates and time, neither of which I have much privilege of.
In any case this is me just lamenting on me being unfortunate to be a billionaire, who could lounge at home and not have to go to work. I’ll have work come to me instead.
Oh well I’ll keep dreaming for now and hopefully something good will come out of this.
The Thanks We Get
The feeling of being appreciated is one that cannot be replaced easily, or subbed with another form. It’s something that really can hit you deep. Its just one of those things that makes you feel real good. Admit it, even the most hardcore of the hardcore will get all gooey and warm inside when you give them a good old fashioned straight from the heart thank you.
Then again there is the modern day version of the thank you. I believe many of us have been more than lucky enough to receive this version of the thank you. For that matter, I am also pretty sure many of us are just as guilty of giving it away.
This version of the thank you is normally accompanied by a number of tell tale signs. First would be the lack of eye contact, followed by the mumbling of a vague thank you which could easily be mistaken for a fuck you (not that I would be surprised) and sometimes it comes with a “who cares look” on the mutterers face. This is not exhaustive of course, its only a simple guideline. It could easily be accompanied by a host of other signs, but no fear, you would just as easily be able to identify it.
I used to work in the FnB line. It was a whole load of fun. Its something I would gladly take a pay cut to get back into. You see sometimes job and self satisfaction play a more important part in our happiness than monetary satisfaction. Anyways, I once had the chance to save an old man who was choking on a piece of steak.
While the old man was coughing away and turning blue, the rest of the family was panicking. Initially none of us at the outlet paid much attention thinking it was nothing. When it appeared that it could be more than that, I tried the Heimlich maneuver, or at least what I thought would be right based on what I had seen on the telly. Fortunately it worked. I felt good about it, but it would have been really great if the family had shown some form of thanks. Hey I am not talking about monetary nor was I doing it for the glory.
You see its all about appreciation. Think about it. The ball is round, what you pay forward, eventually comes around. Let those who serve, those who help, those who assist, those who are around, let everyone feel appreciated. I know I falter at this and that its easier said than done, but no harm putting in a little more effort now is there.
Druggies, Love 'em, Hate 'em ; Just Shooting for a HIGH
Druggies, the epitome of troubled people. Situated up top on the most hated lists when it comes to crimes of any sorts. Hell even criminals hate druggies. That is pretty weird dont ya think!!?? Its like the pot calling the kettle black.
But then again I gotta admit, junkies are a freak of nature with no excuse to be such freaks. Come on disabled people are able to work for a living, people who lose limbs, lives and family are able to get on with living ; and yet these junkies able bodied and well choose not to do so.
Even those on psychiatric medications are able to get on with life, though some may need help being monitored!! But thats… well excuse able and medically certified. But junkies are just plain losers, not wanting to work hard and just wanting to enjoy life. How by shooting a high be it thru the veins or snorting.
I would rather smoke a stick of tobacco then go hunting for some pink elephants!!
Well the news is out … so she’s finally admitted to the fact that everybody knew. I mean for crying out loud, what kind of impact were you hoping to create. This goes out to both of you. Did you expect the public to jump up and down? Run around in circles screaming with joy? Did you expect the government to set off fireworks? Announce a national holiday? Or were you expecting the media to hype things up for you? Which I don’t think they’re doing too well if that’s one of your objectives!!
For that matter if you wanted to keep things so bloody secretive all along, why in the world did you need to call for a press conference? I know that you’re basically a publicity hog, an attention seeker for all your claims that you are not. Please do not try to deny it. It only adds to my theory that you are. After all any attempt to deny it is another shot at gaining publicity.
Before I lose my train of thought and stray to the Land of Forgotten Thoughts, I think I should get some other points out of my head.

Craps!! A distraction at work here just cost me a penny!!
You do realize the for all thy’s holier than thou attitude, it seems that you are no more than a scheming, cunning, conniving home wrecker. To be honest I never really bought into all that hype about you being so saintly. After all there is a saying that not everything bad looks bad. Case to point.
Hmm….. another point I ponder is how much were the young ones paid off to say what they said? Or did they really dislike her already? I shan’t say that that is quite impossible as I believe it truly quite is probable but something tells me that though the surface seems calm , many a shit is being stirred below.
I’m sure she was paid a king’s ransom in order to nullify a complex situation by ensuring that her silence is truly golden. For my senses tell me that should she beg to differ from anything but the trodden trail …. more than just a mere dust will be stirred.
Then again I have to look at it from your side of the story as well. This relationship may have begun only a year or so ago ( which I truly doubt ), but it probably has been in the planning stages for quite sometime. He would have undoubtedly already sowed the seeds for the conquest from the time he laid eyes on you. You are more than likely no less guilty.
Do you honestly think a bunch of people with more choices to see performances than they had underwear, would choose to see a nobody? Well ok maybe they would but definitely not for the material. Probably to get themselves off, off a local dish. Hey I know that I would if I felt like it. Then again who wants to have B-grade entertainment when I could have A-grade material for the same price. Oh puh-lease to all you “I would, I would” lamers. If that were truly so … do you think indie would be indie? SO shut up, Put up and sit down.
Nope grapevine news says that he paid for it and gave them out to the rest. Possibly even paying for some of them to actually attend. Just to highlight another point to case, did you not declare that it actually started then? Aww … how sweet taken in by his gesture to make you feel like a star that you actually aren’t!!!
Anyways, as they say money talks bull shit walks … and for someone who’s parents are supposedly wholesome, what else can I say , but I’m sure they’re bloody proud of a home wrecker for a child.
Those of you who have read my blog, and paid extra attention would/may have noticed that a number of my postings are posted in bulk. The reason behind this is that I would normally write what I need to post or thoughts that come to mind while at work during my breaks and save it before posting it at home.
However in most cases, by the time I actually reach home after all the extra CCA’s, I’m normally too tired to bother or would rather catch up on some of the shows I’ve been missing. This results in me having a number of possible postings all saved up and not posted.
Of course I did have more, but as you may have read, in carrying out this modus operandi, I have lost a whole lot of them when my disc was accidentally overwritten!! Oh well, I guess that is just one of the cons of procrastination and I was the cause of it, I have to bear the consequences.
So apologies for the mass postings and the fact that many of them are more than likely posted in the wrong order that I had them intended. So do carry on reading, and I hope you’ll find some of the articles interesting enough for you to want to link me up!!
