You are so Gorgeous, why are you so Gorgeous!!!!

ZOE SALDANA

Dont throw stones, if u dont live in Orania.

the other day i fell victim to an over enthusiatic form of rage, propogated by my pride & brought about by a racial slur from an overweight slightly balding afrikaaner male.

at standard bank, actually just to clear things, (gosh im typing on a keyboard, its taking forever im losing my patience here!) anyway,just to clear things up. *why am i repeating myself*...

i have no particular problem with overweight, slightly balding middle aged white men, no not at all. but if you're gonna swear at me dude, up yours, up yours 39 times & i swear im not even flinching my eyes when  i say this.

the thing is, we black people like being the 'bigger, better people' sorry, not this year, not for me! an eye for an eye, & if you eye me back, ill punch your significant other who attempted to grab my arm & push me outta the line.

wooooooosh!!! what a release, okay i feel much better now :)

on a serious note, if you wanna be racist bro, realocate to Orania bra!

btw, this happend yesterday, he felt the need to swear in afrikaans, I can hear you, & up yours coz i wont take it!

Pride..

Its a brand new day.

Before I start off with my rants, I'd like to pay homeage to Lebo Mathosa. Infact the title of this post is a title of a popular song by the ever dramatic miss Mathosa. Lebo brought hype & funk in music, she practically reinvented pop in the 90s & carved a niche for herself. We will remember her for that golden voice of hers, fearless take on life and her fashion hits and sometimes misses.

On the flipside its a Tuesday, hip hip another day to go be somethung huge out there.

For some exams aere looming and for others er...life goes on  right. GQ held their annual awards I'll previw them on friday, we applaud our public protector for being fearless...now we're just holidng thumbs waiting for our president to do something.

And even though its Spring, it's kinda chilly lately, dress warmly. happy studying, great week to you all, check yal later.
