Bloggish!!

That's right all you oxford dictionary freaks - BLOGGISH! {its a new word that might make me millions one day - do people that come up with new words get paid?}

Bloggish! That's how I feel every night when I'm lying in bed waiting for sleep to come and rescue me, and every morning in the shower, while brushing me teeth ... actually - every freaking waking moment, and recently every sleeping moment ...

Wondering what bloggish is?



Its the obsession that has run rampage in my life .... what can I blog about today? what can I write about that will get people talking, laughing or even sitting back in their chair in awe of my inspiring words - and then it hits me! the PERFECT topic but then that's it - that's all I have - a topic - a subject line - and I feel defeated yet again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog - well! that doesn't help much does it?! *sigh*

Is blogging a competition? 'My blog is better than your blog" - NEH NEH NEH NEH NEH!

As far as I know a 'blog' is a outlet for the thoughts in your head {which I have MANY of} I just sometimes wish that I had a direct link to my blog through my head - then the words would be coming fast and furious -  I am still amazed at what a 'little' Stephanie Meyer mixed with a touch of Steven King I can be in my head.

But I will try this 'oulet' thing

These are the topics I have had swimming around for awhile now ...

1. Phoenix {could go and on and on and on - *gushing mom*}
2. Mannequins ... those damn skinny mannequins that always look so great no matter what they are wearing
3. Girls that have dark eye lashes but STILL insist on wearing an overdose of mascara
4. Love {is that not done to death already}
5. Hate - mmmm?
6. Religion - {that's a tough one}
7. Sushi vs Gatsby's

OK - that's enough topics for one day - maybe, just maybe I will have more to each that I can actually write about {expect for #1 of course}

I'm out!

Sanity vs Hip Hop!

So ... here I am - jumping on the blogging band wagon (is that one word or two?) - I'm too lazy to check so I'll just leave it as is - this is a blog you know and therefore I can spell like I've never been to school and I can use language that a sailor would be ashamed of... right? Or do I have this blogging thing all wrong?

Either way - let me see if I have a knack for this ...

Everyday I walk to and from work - which is a good 20 minute walk, 20 minutes ALL to myself is bliss you would think but actually its not all that, I spend my time with these damn random thoughts that run through my head - I've even convinced myself once that there is DEFINITELY an alien in my head, there is just no way that one person can think up so much !@$% - shit, I forgot that I'm allowed to swear.

I sometimes have a good giggle at myself at the nonsense that finds its way into my head and every time I shake it off I find myself justifying my thoughts which leads to another rampage of thoughts ... its a vicious cycle ... sigh!

I guess if you cant laugh at yourself then something is wrong ... right?

I want to share something with you... more of a vent session actually...

There is this clothing store on Long Street in Cape Town called Traffic that I walk past every morning and every afternoon and a few minutes before I get there I encourage myself that today is the day I go in and sample some of the clothes that tease me from the store window and I psych myself up so much that I feel like I'm the living (female) version of Rocky ... so, this is it - I'm going in - I walk head up, shoulders back ... deep breath and then I hear it ... the LOUD BLARING hip hop music coming from inside the store and I am immediately repulsed and so, yet again goes another day I am unable to go into Traffic.

I walk away feeling defeated by this noise they call music and  I can feel how smug the music becomes as I walk past ... DAMMIT!

I am all for music 'makes the world go around' but hell, that makes the world want to creep back into itself, so I ask you , do I sacrifice my sanity for clothes I'll 10 to 1 never wear or do I let this ..... 'music' have its way?
