I know I said I would post a picture of my girlfriend here when she finally materialises (LOL) but for some reason, I just can't bring myself to doing it. I have no idea why...
Bear with me please...
haha!
Filled with an undisclosed amount of awesome!

Allow me to just shift off-topic a little: I had always promised myself that when I finally do get myself a girlfriend I would spoil her with all the things I think my girlfriend should have. Simple things, killa one-of-a-kind type of things.So I saw this killa handbag made out of an old vynil LP. (I don't actually know what it's really called, just that I'm from a generation of tapes, CDs and MP3s.) And in keeping with the pledge of getting spilling my sense of style over to my girlfriend (LOL), I bought her this:
The main reason for this being, I like to believe I'm a pretty original guy, I don't always like what the majority loves, I have my own taste in things, be they decorative or otherwise. I just love having things that you wouldn't find easily. I buy things where people wouldn't expect me to. Buy at prices people wouldn't expect me to. And armed with that, I am able to have things most people wouldn't normally have.
Now that I've got that out of the way...
I'm not too sure why, but when I saw it, she was the first person I thought
I should buy it for. So I did.
Turns out parking is also not much of a priority. I spoke to a coupl of people (literally 2), about migrating from the busy Jozi life to the more toned down Cape Town state of mind.
I might not be a South African
But I’m black, my skin is the same as yours
My colour is the same as yours
My genes are African, nothing but African
When your leaders were beaten by whites
I was there to shelter them
I was patient with them
I offered them food, shelter,
Most of all, I offered them protection
I might be a South African
I can’t speak Zulu, cause I’m Vhenda
I can’t speak Zulu, cause I’m Shangaan
I don’t know what an elbow is in Zulu
As much as you don’t know it in my language
Since when was Zulu the only South African language?
Yes……………I’m not from Gauteng
I was not born here, but I’m South African
Where should I go if you beat me
I’m not beating your father, mother, brother or sister who works at my area in the mines
I’m not calling them makwerekwere though they can’t speak my language.
I might be dark in complexion
I might have the foreigners looks
I might have the foreigners body structure
Now I am scared to go to the only place that I call home
I’m scared of working down the street without my ID
Whites wanted me to do that centuries ago
Now you, my black brother is acting white
Why should you Black South Africans do this?
What makes you think that you better than me?
Who told you that I’m responsible for your unemployment?
Who told you that I’m less human
If I need to go back to Vhenda...let all the Zulus go back to KZN
Let all the Tswana’s go back to Botswana
Let all the Sotho’s go back to Lesotho
Let all the Ndebele’s go back to Kwandebele
Let all the Xhosa’s go back to Eastern Cape
Yes... let all the Swati’s go back to Swaziland
Is this not ignorance?
Your unemployment is your responsibility
Use your intellect
Get up and work
Let education empower you
Seek humanity
Before 1994 you blamed whites
Now you are blaming me
Who are you going to blame after chasing me away?
Who are you going to blame after killing me?
For what it’s worth...
I’m sorry I was not born here
I’m sorry I can’t speak Zulu
I’m sorry for being too dark for your Joburg
I’m sorry for cleaning the toilets you don’t want to clean
I’m sorry for doing your garden
I’m sorry for repairing your shoes
I’m sorry for protecting your leaders while they were in Exile
Yes... what you call Exile...is my country
And most of all... I’m sorry for building South African infrastructure
Please my brothers let there be peace and prosperity amongst black African people.
