Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do. Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute.

To be honest i sidnt have all that much to chat about tonight...
I am on watch (which means i am basically working untill i do a final walk around at 10pm - in 25mins and lock up etc). Pretty important considering we had a visitor at 5am this morning...and by visitor i mean idiot thief of the year so far...He stole 20pounds, and walked past 3 laptops, and was then caught!!! what a schmuck!

anyway...was listening to MGMT's 'Time to pretend' and thought i had something to write about, which has now slipped my mind! shit!!!
oh ya...its amazing just how F%#ked up the lyrics to the song are, yet it still gets radio time! What 'weirded' me out even more about it was that it actually resonates with me quite a lot over here!!!
OBVIOUSLY not the whole song, but bits and pieces...such as:

-This is our decision, to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.

-Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do.
Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute

-I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.

-But there's really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew.

So what you all think?
ive left the comfortable (although i was bored out of my skull in my rut i had created in Durbs) life, ventured into a vast unknown, left all my loved ones back home and entered into something i knew absolutely nothing about. Which is extremely fast paced,crazy and experiential! All the time i think back to the comforts etc...but i feel i have to venture forth..'life can always start up anew'!!!

Well that was what was on my mind while i was listening to the song....although the rest is just trippy!!!..for full lyrics

Time to Pretend

Anyways...i was thinking of showing you 2 cool clips that i found....a really amazing performance from 'Ukraine's got talent', and another one by a really interesting street poet by the name of Alex Lamb....an awesome piece about Facebook....SUPERPOKE ME!! ha ha

Super-poke Me

Ukraine's Got Talent

I hope all are well and life is great...heard that there was great weather in Durban over the weekend!!

anyway, i must watch my last episode of season 4 of 'How i met your mother'. gonna be depressed when its finished!!!

ciao
