Living in the music...

I love music...I can't function without it. I don't know where it comes from, but i always have. Perhaps it was my mom's obsession with it...she had it all....with particular bias towards Ms. Flack (aaaah....) or my grandmother's singing, all the time, everywhere, she'd even sing instructions to us...she was always singing....or my late aunt's Brenda Fassie craze...boy did we hear enough of Mabrr...or my youngest aunt's obsession with everything soul!!!! aaah....Sunday mornings.....or my cousins messing with making beats on the computer all the time every day....or my other cousin and his turntables taking Pheli by storm or perhaps my brother's taste in music....wide, varied....great, amazing!

I breathe it ....it oozes through my pores...there's a song for every day, every feeling and I still haven't heard a fraction of all the good music of the world. It irks me to no end....

And so I found a mix cd a good friend made for me the other day which inspired me to go on a crusade to ask people to share what they like with me. A sweet workmate's just given me some suhweet tunes! (noooise)! My bro has promised a banging selection (you rock)! And the buzz has promised me some too (she's got great taste)!!!! And I'm dedicating the whole of Sunday to searching for old classics at the music shop!!! I shall soon have enough to go underground with and hibernate!!!

In my solitude...

I got home last night with no intention of lying on the couch and watching TV...again. So I took my jacket and decided to walk to the coffee shop at the mall for some alone time before a possible movie date with malaveeng, and perhaps a second chance at saying hello to lone sexy cappucino drinking, book wielding, cigarette smoking dude! It was fokken freezing, so you can imagine just how much I wanted to leave the couch and tv situation. I took my book and a notepad, not quite sure how long i'd survive chilling there on my own. I got a seat at "our" table and started reading and reading and thinking and thinking...the world around me dissappeared and I sat there thinking, wow, this is so cool!

Me myself and I getting by, just fine! For the first time, in a long time, I felt just fine being on my own. I ended up coming up with a brilliant idea for the film that's mos def taking us to the next level. I ended up thinking about myself and what it is I want in life. What kind of people I want around me. And what it is I want to do with this life! You gotta love the cheeze!

And so Malaveeng arrived, beeming as usual, and we go watch this movie that she apparantly heard amazing things about. "The Breach" WTF? The cinema at the pensioner's mall is empty! So we start watching this movie and it's really not going anywhere...so we start chatting, because we can....and soon after decide to take our catch up session to a more social space! Viva Gin and Tonic....nice one!

I guess my point's that it's nice to be alone, at times, and comfortable with it but it also feels great to have people to be with! I love mapeeplez!

NOTE TO SUCKER PUNCH: You know i love you and everything, but please bring back my laptop...You are standing in the way of great things! Mnxim!
