A quest for fame! - Who doesn't wanna be famous?

Ever since I can remember, I've alwways wanted to be on TV. ( That sounded like the generic answer to "Why do you wanna be on TV" LOL ) I think much of it has to do with the fact that I have successfully managed to spend a whole lotta time watching the damn thing. I was exposed to a whole lot of mediocrity on TV and always felt that I could do better.

Well, it doesn't seem like this dream is too out of reach now. It seems every other music show on TV is looking for new presenters.

I'm convinced this is my chance. My time to shine!

Ever since the first ad for presenters aired on SABC1's LIVE, I've bee trying and trying to register on their Ning based social network. No idea why the thing always kept giving me errors. But it did. Each and every time. No matter what time of day. And the errors were always the same. Either something's missing, or they're experiencing a high volume of entries.
Look:

Anywho, I've since given up on that avenue. And just this morning, I was getting bored with watching the news when I decided to check out some music videos on Channel O. And the first thing that came up was an ad for new presenters for one of their shows called O-Access.

Currently, the show's hosted by Nonhle Thema. I guess they want somebody to help her out or something. I mean, it can't be easy travelling all over the world interviewing high profile celebrities. I can understand. Not relate. Understand. I'll relate when I'm the one doing it. :)

This brings me to the question: "who is best suited for this job but me?"

And subsequently, that then leads to the answer (in the words of Keith Sweat): "Nobody baby!"

I'ma do this!

See you on the flip side!

Deuces!

The rebirth

Can't believe this is what my life has come to.

Ok. That's a bit of a melodramatic opening line...

Let's try again...

So this is it. Make or break time. (muuuch better)

I told myself that at some point in my life I'd return to school and study something in the creative industry. Not because I think it's gonna be easy, but because I wouldn't mind spending 3 years of my life studying something I am passionate about.

One thing I didn't anticipate was what I'm faced with at this very moment. I have to draw or paint something (anything) before I can be considered for admission.

This is no problem for me. I know I can draw. Even though I don't remember the last time I actually drew something.

I'm not worried about actually doing it. I'm not worried about what the end result is gonna look like. I'm not worried about ho little time I have. Actually... I'm not worried at all. I'm gonna do this. Even if I have to submit a page with one blob in the center!

Just got back from buying some drawing pads, pencils, an eraser and a sharper. All the tools I used to rely heavily on back in school when I used to draw during my downtime.

Come to think of it, back in the day I used to only draw when I had nothing better to do. On those days when I wanted to be alone with just me, my pencil and my music. Not a lot has changed since then, seeing that I still do pretty much the same thing, only difference is that I've come to rely so much on clicking and double-clicking that I have somehow lost the connection I used to have with paper. I guess this is my chance to rekindle that bond. See if the spark still exists.

There's no other way to do it but to do it to it!

Biiiiiiig mistake!

So this morning, after several unsuccessful attempts to log on to the interwebs. The network connection at work finally came about and to my surprise (or maybe I should say delight) all websites were open.

I noticed this when I could see Flickr-linked pictures on my website (http://27-degrees.com/). Needless to say, I jumped straight from that site to Flickr.com to see if it really is open. And well, you guessed it, it was. I smiled like a maniac!

Went straight to Twitter, and caught up with the rest of the social networld!

So I've been trying to update my Twitter page but that doesn't work, so either way it's still cool.

Obviously I also came to my blog and updated. OBVIOUSLY!

Biiiiig mistake on your side Mr Government-proxy-firewall-thingy person!

Deuces!
