So near to SCI FI, I can almost… taste it.

Wow November 2009 and its nearly 2010, its ridiculous to think how fast this year has gone by, just the other day I was going on about how much I was enjoying my new career opportunity at i5… Now its near the end of another great year and I am celebrating in another new exciting career opportunity at Sandbox Projects. When did we begin to be so particular in our career choices and how often we changed that path?

Strange but true especially in the IT industry, we seem to chop and change quite often and then as far as trends go you move into consulting which is essentially your own business where you work for someone else on a daily basis.  A bit bizarre if you ask me :)

Other than that little history lesson, its time for some new photo’s of my place, with all the wood new practically stripped of paint and some of the wood is sanded and treated… still a long way to go that’s for sure:

Waves of Change

So the new year is coming up, 2009, wow!  Talk about the future, maybe when the world cup comes to South Africa we might actually have flying cars, just kidding.

I have already started doing a hell of a lot different this year and I intend to continue with this good change in my life.  Some of the things that were a real challenge for me are already starting to come right.  A great example of this is how I manage money, really not good at managing money at all.

Focusing on work is also something that is a challenge being such a day dreamer, I sometimes find myself daydreaming too long about the big picture out there that i loose track of the small little things which also count.  I am finding ways over the last six months which help me focus more so this upcoming year is really going to a roaring success for me in terms of my work.

Just to end off id like to wish everyone all the best for the new year, mines going to be so awesome its not even funny and I hope that you and your loved ones have a pretty swell time in 2009… Cheers.

Awesome-ness!!!

So last year a lot of people are aware that I invested a lot of my time into unemployment, I made a decision to go over seas and take a big risk at a chance to work there. In the end things didn’t go according to the initial plan but the idea is not totally out my mind yet. I am still keen to work in other countries.

I did however have an awesome holiday, have a look through some of my pictures on the travel page.

In February this year I started working at a great company, I interviewed last year November for the job and finally got into the career of my dreams recently.

Things are going very well, I’m motivated and I’m loving the work, what more could one really ask for now?

Pickle your Pickle

Trust me when i tell you its really easy to find the respect for someone who has self respect, up for a challenge?
Take the time to find some respect and perhaps a little empathy for someone with no self respect…

Shadduppa your Facebook – I agree big time.

So just a moment ago a good friend of mine sent me this online article regarding the blocking of Facebook sites in business… i am thinking that this obviously comes from the users who are using these social networking sites. The thing that surprises me the most is that the people who seem to be complaining work at the bank… WHAT A CHEAK!

I mean are you people at the banks really so blinded by your need to communicate on the internet, banks specifically have very strict policies regarding the use of the internet and with valid reason.

South Africa is the number one credit card fraud country in the world, why is that? our criminals are smarter than theres? i doubt it. It’s more a case of the people working within these credit card companies giving information to the criminals. Like the machines to copy people cards, or manual transactions being done without the use of supervisor cards and even worse WITH the supervisor card.

Come now people. get a grip, wake up and smell something, dont complain about something that protects you from others.

this includes, investment business, government tender contractors, etc etc. just try and think past yourself, for once.

Know Yourself

I had a very hair raising experience recently which didn’t scare me, but it sent me somewhere i was scared to go for a very long time. This place is in you’re heart…

My best friend saved my life the other day, literally, by mear seconds, I was so busy getting lost in my feelings I was completely oblivious to the world i didn’t have a clue where i was i was off somewhere else completely. He managed to just pinch my shirt with his fingers in time to pull me out of the way or i would have been gone, for good it was undeniable i needed to think about things clearly.

I was extremely emotional from that point on, i was battling to find where i had been when this event occured and i just could not find it. I lay in bed thinking and crying for a day or so and things started to get clearer and clearer. It was really something unbelievable to me, i was identifying emotions which i had no clue about, things that had been troubling me for a very long time.

Things about my relationship with my Mother and about my brother dying… things i thought were all in order and in the realm of normal emotional experience. Clearly i could not have been more wrong about myself. People sometimes admire who I am inside and think that I am a specific type of person… I am not sure they are correct all the time. In a way it is really strange because how could they know who I am if I haven’t been true to me?

Things to Think about

Alot of people are at a point in their life where they have a lot of stuff to think about, in my case its been the relationship with my Mother and the relationship i had with my late Brother but for a while i have also been thinking about this, the parts of the Lyrics in Block Quotes:

Mass Destruction (No Roots)
[CHORUS]
Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber

Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether you’re Soaraway Sun or BBC 1

Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruct

You coulda Caucasian or a poor Asian

Racism is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether inflation or globalization

Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

My dad came into my room holding his hat
I knew he was leaving,
He sat on my bed told me some facts.

Son, I have the duty, calling on me
You and your sister be brave my little soldier
And don’t forget all I told ya
Your the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss

Then I had to say goodbye
In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I’m only a kid
Certain things can’t be hid
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold

I said, momma it will be alright
When daddy comes home, tonight

[CHORUS]
Whether Halliburton, Enron or anyone

Greed is a weapon of mass destruction

Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction (x3)

The skin under my chin is exploding again.
I’m getting stress from some other children
I’m holding it in.
We taking sides like a politician
And if i get friction we get to fighting.

I’ll defend my dad he’s the best of all men
and whatever he’s doing he’s doing the right thing.

It’s frightening, but it makes me mad,
Why do all of these people seem to hate my dad?
And if that ain’t enough now i get these spots.
I go to sleep every night with my stomache in knots
And what’s more, i can hear momma next door

Explore the radio for reports of war.
And all we ever seem to do is hide the tears.
Seems like daddy been gone for years.
But he was right, now i’m geared up for the fight
and he would be proud of me.

[CHORUS]
Whether Halliburton, Enron or anyone

Greed is a weapon of mass destruction

We need to find the courage

Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction (x3)

My story stops here, lets be clear.
This scenario is happening everywhere.
And you ain’t going to nirvana or far-vana,
you’re coming right back here to live out your karma.
With even more drama than previously, seriously.
Just how many centuries have we been
waiting for someone else to make us free?
And we refuse to see
that people overseas suffer just like we:
Bad leadership and ego’s unfettered and free
Who feed on the people they’re supposed to lead
I don’t need good people to pray and wait
For the lord to make it all straight.
There’s only now, do it right.
‘Cos I don’t want your daddy, leaving home tonight

[CHORUS]
Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone

Greed is a weapon of mass destruction

Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction (x3)

If you really can’t understand what Maxi Jazz is trying to say here thats a really sad thing.
