I enjoy meeting new people especially those from other continents. I find that it brings the other side of the world to life. And goodness knows that besides living by the beach and becoming a rock star DJ/Writer, I wanna see the world…So bad… real bad Michael Jackson!
During this session, something quite profound occurred to me. Whether I think Jozi or any other Akon wannabe is making authentic (South) African music is irrelevant. What rings true is that Jozi is an SA clique and therefore whatever music that they make lies beneath the SA music banner, regardless of my distaste for their obvious steez-bitin’.
SA music is not defined by drums or whatever. SA music does not have to be deep intense, sad and introspective in order to be that. We can also snap our fingers and do the step… we can do it all by ourselves… lol … continue reading this entry.

A dramatic build up often concludes in an equally undramatic anti-climax! You’ll walk away and be on some… That’s it?! Really now? Really?! No… Seriously!
Today was a day of firsts… Let’s start with my first time hosting the 4AM-5AM slot. Dude! I really thought I would be less nervous which in turn turned out to be my biggest challenge (please note that I didn’t say ‘difficulty’. I picked that up from a guest lecturer, the other day. It’s a mere obstacle… A lil hill…) was my anxiety. Self-inflicted n absolutely self-indulgent… It appears that in those moments, I forgot the teachings from A New Earth and Dr Gary Zukav… Nerves amount to selfish energy because it makes the situation only about you. It’s not only about me but also the people listening and being subjected to poor radio because I’m way too self-involved to step out of MY anxiety to give them a decent show… Now I’m feeling like even though I get the above, I’ve gone from selfish to self-pity… Well, either way, there’s no room for egoism! Just Do It!

Paulo Coelho once wrote of
magic moments in his highly acclaimed novel, Down By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept.
It’s a heavy love story focussing on a young woman’s quest for self discovery and more specifically love. He described a
magic moment as that moment when a YES or NO changes your life forever. I feel like these
180 DAYS have been a series of
magic moments in themselves. Which is bad and good. Good because everyday is one hella surprise after another. I can’t say that I’m bored at all. But I also can’t say that I know what’s really going on even on the basics front. It’s almost like having sex with a blindfold on. It’s cool for a bit but after a while, you just wanna know what’s going on… or maybe I’m just one hella control freak! Relaxa tu! But I guess that’s what life really is. a series of decisions that ultimate contribute to the
Butterfly Effect whether you’d like to believe in the weight that a seemingly insignificant action may carry.
