KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

In a mdern era, most of us human beings have sought the comforting luxury of an uncultured and uneducated lifestyle. We don't realise that in order to maintain our basic functions of existence e.g EAT! we would need money and to get money we would need...all together now kiddies-KNOWLEDGE!

Now I know what you're thinking-'What the hell is this chick on about?' I am actually making a very valid point. After all. if we as human beings don't take it unto ourselves to learn more about this planet, then we'll be screwed! I mean, look at Obama. If he were a leering idiot with buck teeth and a 12 o'clock shadow WITHOUT a degree or at least some obvious moments of general knowledge, then he wouldn't be president now would he?

Well that was long-winded sentence...

My point mostly is that we should just pay attention in class! It doesn't matter if you're gonna become a rugby player when you grow up-you still might need the stuff you learn in class today. I'm not saying that right in the middle of a game the centre-forward aks you to calculate the amount of right angles used in a standard defense tactic! The thing is-there's a bunch of stuff I learn in school that I'll probably NEVER use again in my lifetime but heck-I still gotta learn it.

Who knows...perhaps calculating the amount of right-angles might help you impress your future spouse or something like that... :P

MY TWO-CENTS...ON BLACKBERRY

In my opinion, I honestly CANNOT STAND blackberries! To some, a Blackberry is a high-end sexy phone. It can be translated as a modern miracle what with its quirky keypad, handiness and sleek-look. I have to admit that perhaps when the Blackberry was first released in 1999-there wasn't a huge following back then. However as years progressed, a huge cult following ensued-mostly by businessmen, rich teenagers and the Kardashians. Of course the hipster demographic has skewed more towards the Apple.Inc brand.

I'm not sure about the rest of the world but here in Botswana, Blacberries are quite cheap-at around P2000, whereas the widely hyped iPhone is priced at P5000. It was more I'm sure but my mum says differently. Anyway, I'm really not a fan of the excessive amount of buttons on these blasted contraptions. Why Blackberry saw fit to add a button for every letter and symbol known to man! I have only been using touchscreens since 2010 when my uncle in Boston sent me the 1st generation iPod Touch (or 'iTouch'). Hence saying that I am more comfortable from using a touchscreen and I actually forgot how to use a regular classic iPod! :P

With all this in mind, which is better-the Blackberry or the iPhone. It's a strong debate and its mostly an argument between the businessmen and the hipsters. My final two-cents...BLACKBERRIES SUCK AND APPLE RULES!!

'FIX YOU' - COLDPLAY

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/coldplay-lyrics/fix-you-lyrics.html ]
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

HIATUS...

I have to express my deepest apologies to all those of you who MIGHT have missed me. As you might not know-I am only 15 years old and had to endure a terrible loss this month-my best friend Aabilwe Modise passed away recently on the 4th of July 2012. She died from stomach cancer...

Aabi was a sweet, good-natured and gorgeous girl. She was always smiling and could make you swallow your pride with her vast amounts of knowledge. She was an avid reader and always had her nose stuck in a book. I remember the first day we met, we had an in-depth conversation about dissecting a frog...I knew that we would be friends forever.

Aabi LOVED singing and she the most beautiful lilting voice you ever heard! I recall singing 'Bad Romance' with her during Math-much to the displeasure of our peers. She wrote stories too! She had this little book where she would write down short introductions and prologues but she could never finish them.

Aabi was practically my sister-we were bonded at the hip. I felt a piece of my heart tear away when she died and it was the most painful thing that I could ever imagine. In memory of her, I will post the lyrics of 'Fix You' by Coldplay-her favorite band.

May her soul rest in peace...

FOREVER ALONE!

LOVE SUCKS!

SO, let us celebrate the rage face of the week...FOREVER ALONE!

In light of my recent proclamation of my hatred towards humanity, I have decided to be an asshole and completely write off all my romantic endeavours for the future!

See, this is my strategy. I will swear off my crush for the rest of the year and completely write off men in general. Not that I have ANY intention of being all 'Lesbigay' on you guys. However, I can say that the female compassion offered by my friends is much more appealing than all that fake crap I'm getting from those saggy-pants wearing meatheads shuffling around my school. I swear, if I see another pair of boxers or briefs from some skinny-jean wearing dude, I'm gonna go all BlackNinja on their asses!

Aside from my tyrade, please take note that for most of the week I will be fully analysing my poor social life and ultimately deciding that I may as well kill myself...

I also feel rather akward when a friend professes their 'love' for someone that I used to have a crush on and I KNOW for a fact that my crush actually liked them...

I FEEL UNLOVED!

So, let us celebrate our 'RAGE FACE OF THE WEEK'-FOREVER ALONE!

A RANDOM POST

Out of the dark recesses of my twisted mind, a dark shadowy figure lurks. It has been stalking around my mind for the past couple of months...hiding...lurking...stalking...waiting. I can feel it slowly prodding at the insides of my head; scratching...gnawing...searching for a way out. I force it back in, letting it growl and rage in anger. I know what it wants, and it WON'T get it! I stand up and shove aside my swivel chair, proclaiming, "YOU WILL NEVER CONTROL ME-YOU BEAST FROM WITHIN!"

Finally, after stabbiong myself several times with a lead pencil, I decide to get back to work on my latest breakthrough blog post...Only to find that the creature has gotten it's way again...DAMN!
