“Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read”

“Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read” I totally disagree with this statement. It is important for the “rock journalists” to know their music.

My opinion is that I think it is harder to be a rock journalist. Firstly the journalist must be fond of rock music. Rock stars is a culture on its own, people must love rock music to understand the culture of rock stars. Rock journalists must be part of this unique culture. They must report to the public about the music and through the articles they explain actually the culture to the public. Most youngsters understand the culture of rock stars. I believe they enjoy articles of rock journalists. The media must cater for the young people as well; why not write about the things they are interested?

Rock journalists, must know the different rock star groups, they must know the different types of instruments they use. In every song, there is a message. Rock stars do have a message in their music, and in my opinion I don’t think a plain journalist would be able to see the message, understand the message and to write about the message in the song.

What motivates me?

The key to staying motivated is to understand and align your values with your objectives. But many people have no idea what their values are.Know where you come from and where you going.We didn’t take a class in this at school, and I don’t remember there being a major in “Life Values” when I was graduating from university. Your employer may not have much interest in helping you align your life values in case you leave (although this is changing).  A quick and simple way to find your values is to stop and think about your childhood. What? Yes, that’s right, start thinking about the activities you did as a child that you loved to do.

Spend a few minutes to write down a list. You may need to ask your parents to help you remember. It’s a fun way to spend some time and will help you get in touch with some of those long lost motivators. Enjoy it!

10 most unexpected consequences of being online.

·      Someone hacking into your account pretending to be you up-dating your status.

·      When you don’t have time to chat people take it the wrong way and then get offended.

·      Seeing pictures from your past that someone has been hiding and my do you look so ugly.

·      You find that your future boss is online as someone else and is/has been spying on you.

·      Blind date some people’s profile is not the truth.

·      Meeting someone from your past and you just can’t seem to get the bad memories off your mind.

·      Finding out disappointing information about someone who you thought was your friend.

·      Misunderstandings during conversations because there is no face to face interaction.

·      Accidently sending a wrong message to the wrong recipient.

·      Vulnerability when chatting to someone else.

Someone in Life

Sometimes  in life,
You  find a special friend;

Someone who changes your life
Just by  being part of it.

Someone who makes you laugh
Until you can't  stop;

Someone who makes you believe
That there really is good  in the world.

Someone who convinces you
That there really is  an unlocked door
Just waiting for you to open it..

This is  Forever Friendship.

This is the sacred RED ROSE. 

Every day is a good day

Every day is a good day, that’s how life is supposed to be, or that’s how we would like to be.  Well I’d like to inform you that life is not bad, it is just filled with bad people who do bad thing, and they can make you victims of circumstances. And even if you are already a victim, there is always a chance for you to start all over again.

While we are in high school, we are being told that we can become anything that we want to become, we tend to believe it for that period of time then it is swept out of our minds when we are exposed to things that will make us look cool or make us become part of a social group.

We all have the urge and want to belong to a certain superior entity, and we would do almost anything to belong to the group. At most times, the sacrifice is at the expense of our health or future. Yes we can still become someone or something, even though we have massed up in the past or present times.

The elephant in the room

Elephants  will fill you with fear. They are astonishing creatures. The African elephant is the largest living land mammal, larger than its Asian relative - the sheer bulk is astonishing in itself - but there's so much more to this magnificent pachyderm.

One of the greatest privileges of my life was seeing elephants in the wild at Tsavo East National Park in Kenya. We travelled for hours over dusty savannah, arriving at a waterhole in the late afternoon and were rewarded with the breathtaking vision of a herd of elephants, silhouetted against the setting sun.

Elephants are highly intelligent, gregarious and capable of emotions we associate with humans: they even appear to grieve over dead companions. That tear-jerking scene from Dumbo where Dumbo's mother strokes him with her trunk through the bars of her cage was no Disney licence. We stood and watched the herd touching and caressing one another and entwining their trunks. Female elephants, of course, are famously attentive mothers and look after any vulnerable members of their herd and form family groups that span several generations.

It is better to practice a little than to talk a lot!

Actions speak louder than word, better said than done…and I can go on and on. I also like the saying under promise and over deliver rather than overpromise and under deliver.

In ordinary life, especially at work you will find people that will blow you away with their perfect little presentations of what they will be doing with your little department and where they will take you and how much value you will get out of it…just to find out that words will not get a lot of work done. You can have to most wonderful ideas and proposals but if you’re not able to implement, manage and control, it will means nothing. Words of advice, if you do not know how to get the job done that you’re so marvellously dreamt up, surround you with people you can.

Everyone is good at something, and if your’s is to talk your way into getting that job, client or event, you better be clever enough to align you with people who might not be able to follow through on what you promised.It’s rare you find those that can talk the talk and walk the walk.

Feelings follow behaviour

The words 'feelings' and 'behaviour' follow one another. It is just a matter of which one will follow the other one first. Both these two words play a major role in life. Feelings and behaviour can tell us more about people than words. Actions talk, and through actions we see feelings and the way we act, is the way we behave.Behaviour cannot operate alone. The Oxford dictionary defines feelings as a power to feel: mental or physical awareness. Behaviour is the way you behave. Behaviour is linked to our feelings. Every act we do, we do with a reason and with our feelings. It is so easy to let feelings follow behaviour. Behaviour we can see, hear, feel and the moment we observed behaviour... feelings follow.We cannot always control our feelings, but I believe we can control our behaviour. It is not bad to let your feelings follow behaviour, but we must make sure we are always in control of our actions.

Try a cliche

The positive isn’t fluff. It’s real things in your life that you’re actually grateful for, you just tend not to notice. We tend to have a pretty tight focus on what’s wrong with our lives and ourselves for that matter. With that tight a focus, you’re really missing the big picture. Sometimes our minds need a manual focus adjustment to see the real picture.  If you dismiss things immediately if they sound like a cliche, you might be missing some good stuff. Cliches are simply “unoriginal ideas” and that’s fine. There are some good ideas that have been floating around for a while. Try this one on: “Be grateful for what you have.” Yawn, eye-roll, dismiss. Try it. Write down 5 to 7 things you’re glad about every night before you go to sleep for one week. Read all the entries each night. See what happens. It’s best to do right before you turn out the light to go to sleep. Consider what you usually think about as you fall asleep? An assortment of worries or concerns slights from difficult co-workers, things you need to remember… Negativity and chaos, really. If you purposefully inject the positive into your brain (think the movie The Matrix without the big machine and the pain) then the negative worries and concerns get bumped out.

Does he like me or hate me?

I did a fantastic job severing ties with my ex a couple of weeks ago, and while I still feel it was for the best as my sanity was being compromised remaining in a limbo-like friendship, I am now depressed about the fact that it feels like he hates me, and I really can't forsee a way, with how things are now, for us to resume contact in the future, after we have healed.A few weeks ago, I sent him a very nice and reasonable (I thought) email explaining why I couldn't remain friends with him. He replied asking for my number. I emailed back saying that for the reasons I mentioned earlier, I couldn't be friends, and so we shouldn't talk.Not wanting to deal with receiving a phone call from him which I would have to ignore (or not receiving one at all), I then switched off my phone. I turned it back on today, to find a message from him. It was short, he just asked, in an exasperated tone, to call him back. I am not sure when he left it, after the first email or the second.I also blocked him on facebook.

Again, for my sanity (so I can't stalk him), not to make any kind of statement or to be cruel. But, I am afraid he doesn't understand. I'm afraid he is taking this to mean I don't care about him, or I'm doing this in a last-ditch effort to manipulate him somehow. He even joined a group on the facebook, before I blocked him, called Anti-Succubus Coalition - basically a group for guys with jealous, manipulative ex-girlfriends. I am just depressed that after everything we have been through together, the person I care about most, whom I love so much, and who has been such an integral part of the last three years of my life, might be gone forever. I know I did the cutting-out, but I tried to do it in a way that didn't burn bridges. It feels like he's burnt them for me.I fear that I will attempt to get in contact with him a couple of years down the road and he will either ridicule me or not respond at all.

Our greatest strength are our greatest weakness

It's a matter of how we use our strengths, if you use your honesty in the right manner it will be received as you intended. Our strengths and weaknesses is a reflection of who we are as people and even The Rock's greatest strength could be his weakness.

So often it is seen that when people have a certain amount of power they don’t always use it in the most positive way.

My greatest strength is that I am very honest, yet it is also my greatest weakness. Now you might be thinking how on earth can someone be too honest, but the truth is it has got me into trouble plenty of times, I have no poker face so if someone asks me what my thoughts and opinions are on something I tell them the truth.

Another of my greatest strengths and weaknesses is my ability to continuously speak my mind. I am often told I call a spade a shovel and that I have no tact. Even though I know being honest is the best way, I need to know when to bite my tongue and when not to because what I say can often be hurtful and mean without me even realising.

How we learn to be girls

Everybody thinks we'll fall apart. everybody's quick to point their fingers at what,they think is causing the problem.what they don't see is what they won't see my friend.we've all got to learn ourselves

before we can judge some one else.we've all got to learn ourselves,before we can judge some one else.

Just like the holy scripture talks,of a road to redemption in amongst the thorns.The path is beset by ego and greed,and if we don't see then we won't ever be free.we've all got to learn ourselves,before we can judge some one else.we've all got to learn ourselves,before we can judge some one else.Yes we will.

 we've all got to learn ourselves,before we can judge some one else.we've all got to learn ourselves

before we can judge some one else.Along the path we walk we've only got to find.Our own heart own mind, our own heart own mind

The wedding cake in the middle of the road

An obstacle may be a sign to quit too I think. And I don’t mean quit altogether ...We quit that only avenue thought to bring success. We quit the way we’ve been going about things and try another route. That same little avenue for some reason or the other is not … and has not been working so well. Thus, the obstacles for a bit of a wakeup call.

Money…illness….grief… decisions… addictions… life is just full of obstacles that makes you stop in your tracks… stare immobilized at the wedding cake in the middle of the road… with no inkling as to how to handle it. The only guarantee being that the next step will profoundly change the status of things.

So I’m not really referring to those challenges – like “I will not eat chocolate this week” – its more about obstacles that we have no control over. Challenges are often easier to overcome and well within our reach. Obstacles on the other hand present something a little beyond the usual challenge… that unexpected thing we just didn’t foresee.

I think even obstacles have their little purpose in the bigger scheme of things. They force us to go beyond boundaries we never knew we had (the boundary that is). Consider for a moment being diagnosed with some weird virus that’ll have you down for 3 months. This diagnosis will undoubtedly force you to change many aspects of your daily diet and give greater consideration to your general health. In this instance, the obstacle forced you to take greater care in your health.

So being faced with the wedding cake in the middle of the road could just be the best thing that happens to you in a long time.

Not all lies are harmful

One is not obligated to aggressively say that one does not like someone or to be cruel or harsh, but one does have an obligation to the truth in so far as one believes that one sees it. The last state of a liar is worse than the first. Lies can also help protect other people, like say  you have a friend that's ugly and looks gay and she ate her boyfriend[because she happened to eat her boyfriend for some reason] but she's really friendly and nice and u love her family and they love you back and you guys are like best friends and she's like the nicest friend u had and you wouldn’t have lived without her because she saved your life from falling off a cliff or from getting shot[for some reason I don’t know how she can save you but like just imagine]. if you had the urge to be extremely honest and say she's ugly and looks gay and u told other people she ate her boyfriend, then she'd be really sad and u'd lose a friend that helped you live longer and ya know there aren’t good friends like that give up their time from being a star in this new show called Ugly Ashley to save your life from a dangerous cliff.

so yes lies can help a society, keep your friends, and other things. but don't lie too much! because remember, too much of something isn't good. Although I have not been able to keep to this high standard, I have come to believe that it is, in fact, always bad to lie. Most forms of misleading are done for some advantage or from a lack of moral courage. The advantages are usually superficial and the harm profound.

Sometimes one greets in the street or at work someone whom one does not like, "Hi, Tracy, good to see you!" This is a bad thing to do, morally confusing to the Tracy and to oneself. Other lies wind up doing harm to the person lied to and the liar as well, and these internal consequences usually are harder to root out and deal with than the truth.

It is a poor idea to lie to yourself

As we get older we feel the pressure from all angles, family, friends, partners, careers and society.  Why do people lie to themselves though when they aren’t happy? Fear maybe? Choice? Pressure? Who knows, everyone is different.  The one big issue here is that you are lying to yourself.

Many a time we have fooled ourselves by lying about how we feel. It is often easier to lie than show how you really feel. Often this has led to instability and self-distraction. Lying to yourself makes life unbearable, since one has to have a double identity.

It is a poor idea to lie to yourself because this only leads to bigger issues.  Lying to yourself can only mean one thing really, that you are trying to cover up for something without having to deal with it.  However, if you don’t deal with issues, they aren’t going to go away, they will simply sit there until they blow up in your face.  Time will run out at some point and perhaps by then we will either be gavels of the issue or simply too tired and let it take over.  Sometimes when we start lying to ourselves, we start lying to others and it becomes too easy.

It is a poor idea to lie to yourself, it does not lead to any good and at times, can catch you off guard and make you look kinda like an idiot.  Honestly is the key to success, with yourself, with others and with our minds.

The sound of one hand clapping

The sound of one hand clapping is the same as the sound of two hands clapping. In a strained personal relationship, for example, instead of waiting for the other person to make the first move toward reconciliation you could start the process in your own mind, either by purposely creating a better opinion of the other person, or by imagining the two of you getting along with all of your differences. Sorry, you can't control with your imagination what the other person thinks or does (it simply doesn't work), but you can use imagined persuasion just as you might in a face to face meeting. As in any form of persuasion, however, the more your persuasion is based on a benefit to the other person, the more successful it is likely to be.
In a strained global relationship, assuming our theory is valid (which means workable). We might be able to get together even in a smallish group and rethink our relationship with one or both countries involved. Theoretically, of course, it ought to take only one person to make a change. On the other hand, the change of one person's relationship to a country might only produce a very small change, so the more people the better. The thing to remember, in this context, is that you are trying to change how you think or feel about the country, not trying to change the country. It's a subtle but important difference, and it applies to people as well as countries.

Not all who wander are lost

Only the God knows, They’re looking right through you, Straight into the eyes of a dead man
There isn't enough hours in the day, What will be seen, When your world comes crashing down
Staring in the eyes of a gone man.
All of your hopes and dreams, All that's left is, now to nowhere, I believe do anything at all costs
You must believe, Not all who wander are lost, Tied to the tree of sadness, so sadness to you
In front of the man with the dead eyes, With a choir of faith there's still a lot to pay, Not enough hours in the day,time of patience to be paid. So who's left to wonder? In the wake of destruction, get made. All of your hopes and dreams, All that's left is, now to nowhere, I believe, do anything at all costs
You must believe, Not all who wander are lost, Something, somewhere, injects the eye.

 

How do you step from the top of a 100 foot pole?

The journey to this day, “climbing the hundred foot pole”, has been a series of many committed steps to our spiritual path and our chaplaincy training. Ordination, as the poem suggests, is not only reaching this significant summit; it is also the entry point into a deeper possibility.

If at first reading I glimpsed the meaning of “stepping away from the pole,” as a volunteer chaplain at Kaiser Hospital I now appreciate “this step into the vital moment” in a real and personal way.I remember with great clarity the first moment when the vitality of hospital chaplaincy struck me. After shadowing more experienced chaplains, I stood outside the room of the first patient I would see on my own. All I knew was her name and her desire to see a chaplain.

I realized I had no idea of what I would experience as I stepped around the curtain. Would she be well healed and heading home? Would she be incubated? in pain? Unable to speak? Was she full of faith, or of little faith? At that moment I realized I was about to step into a mystery, and I asked myself, “Am I ready to provide heartfelt care?” I had to look from head to heart before taking that step.

What gives me the courage to step around the curtain? In a single word .Gratitude. Every step leading to this pole top, this ordination, every step around the curtain, I am standing on the strong shoulders of all who have walked the path before. Every step of the way supported and inspired: by these brilliant faith traditions, by our wise teachers, and by the love and patience of family and heart friends. Let us all find courage in realizing that no step on a path of heart is ever taken alone.I recall a patient I saw only once; like many visits, it lasted only few minutes. The man was probably about 60, in pain, and concerned that he had been in the hospital four days and did not know what was causing his illness. He was Roman Catholic. When I asked what would be supportive, he grabbed my hand and emphatically said, “Pray with me”.

We are what we do

We are what we do, we are where we are today because of the actions we took yesterday. Everything has a reason. If we are what we eat and we eat what is advertised, then American children are facing death by junk food. Half of all the advertising time on children's television shows is devoted to food ads, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation study of food advertising aimed at kids. And what do the commercials pitch? Candy, cereal, fast-food and other restaurants, soda and other sweetened drinks. Just as surely as the tobacco industry tried for years...
If the new rags take effect in 1993 as planned, such terms as "reduced," "low" and "free" on the labels of processed foods will be strictly defined. "Sodium free," for example, will mean no more than 5 milligrams per serving, "low sodium" no more than 140 grams. "Reduced fat" will mean at least 50 percent less fat than the regular product. The Department of Agriculture will have similar rules for fresh vegetables, fruits, meat and poultry.

We are afraid of the wrong things

We are afraid of the wrong things? Are we really? I am legitimately afraid of certain things...like the dark and small spaces. But I think we as humans tend to also be afraid of the wrong things, which even has a control on the way we live.

You know when you getting done to go somewhere, you end up changing your outfit over and over Why? So that you can look better? But for who? We are so afraid of what people are going to say and that they will judge us, but in fact they barley even notice what we wear. And that’s a fact.

We are so afraid to die Why? Because we know that the life that we are leading is not what God approves of. If we lived the right way we should want to die as soon as possible as to avoid being misled onto the wrong path. Be more afraid of how you live your life.

We are so afraid of failure that we actually end up crippling ourselves by putting negative thoughts in our head, a mere self fulfilling prophesy. We will succeed, I say.

We are so afraid to be ourselves that we all living in this pretend world. We are all great its time that you believe it to.

So the lesson in all of this is, stop being afraid of the wrong things and live a real life with legitimate fears like the dark and small spaces.

 

I am not the only dreamer

If a Person doesn't have a Dream, they are dying inside. I have been there, done that. Everyone needs a Dream even if it takes a Life time to fulfill or how farfetched it is. I took me a long time to realize that. Your Friend Always, Big dreams are scary things but, the greater the struggle, the more glorious the triumph. Sometimes I almost forget to dream and then something like this comes along. I do so hope that you will take the time and watch this. It is right around 20 minutes, so make sure you have the time.
I dream of love ...kindness, sharing. I dream of freedom, truth, peace.I dream of touch, healing, caring. It will all come to be one day. The day we all wake up.

I know you share your dream with others. Tell your children, friends. We have to work toward our dreams. I have few dreams and I wish they will come true someday. A dream to see a new place beyond the sea, experiencing different culture, different atmosphere and different faces. A dream to find a new life and share it with a new partner in life. I am a stranger who looking for the other stranger. I'm not really into physical attraction, I don't have specific criteria about finding that stranger, if we have something that bound in the heart that's would be fine. I've found one, but he's leaving me for good. But I'm not giving up. Yes! I am a dreamer, I know that a new stranger is somewhere out there; I can feel that he has the same feeling like I have right now. Waiting for the right moment.

Fish falling from the sky

Fish falling from the sky, everything is possible, in God’s presence anything can happen, even the things you have never think of. Residents of a small outback Australian town have been left speechless after fish began falling from the sky. Hundreds of spangled perch bombarded the 650 residents of Lajamanu, shocking local Christine Balmer, who was walking home when the strange 'weather' started.

She said: 'These fish fell in their hundreds and hundreds all over the place. The locals were running around everywhere picking them up. 'The fish were all alive when they hit the ground so they would have been alive when they were up there flying around the sky.Meterologists say the incident was probably caused by a tornado. It is common for tornados to suck up water and fish from rivers and drop them hundreds of miles away.

What is the colour of the wind?

I may consider it as a serious scientific question, in which case we must first consider "what is wind?".
Wind is the movement of air molecules. Can air molecules have color? If they have color can they have more than one color? Air molecules are colorless. However, air often has other molecules mixed in it (e.g. smoke). These other molecules often have 'color'. Thus, they impart a color to the mixture of air and smoke. If this mixture is 'blowing in the wind', then the air may be perceived to have color.

How high does the sycamore grow, If you cut it down, then you'll never know, And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon, For whether we are white or copper skinned, We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain, We need to paint with all the colors of the wind, All you own is Earth until, You can paint with all the colors of the wind

If I were a boss

If I were a boss I will make sure that everything and every decision the company is taking is not going to inconvenience others. I will leave no stones unturned. I will make every aspect of government purchases and performance transparent. Information on every step of contracts and grants will be posted on the Internet in plain and simple English. We're not going to hide anything behind accounting tricks and bureaucratic doubletalk. Nor will I allow other procurement tricks that divert funds from national priorities. I will expand the use of fixed-price contracts to enforce discipline in the procurement process and ensure that clearly defined requirements are fulfilled, realistic schedules are kept, and costs don't exceed the promised price.

Too often, contractors underbid to 'buy into' a market with little expectation of delivering on schedule and within budget. At the same time, the government's cost estimates are often unrealistic. Fixed-price contracts based on realistic cost estimates with clear, consistent requirements will ensure that the contractor pays for cost overruns, not the taxpayers. We must also limit sole-source contracting and make cost discipline a priority using market competition to keep costs down and innovation up."

Lovely mother city

My beloved mother city, it is beautiful and most attractive city ever.Cape Town (Afrikaans: Kaapstad; Xhosa: iKapa) is the second-most populous city in South Africa, and the largest in land area, forming part of the City of Cape Town metropolitan municipality. It is the provincial capital and primate city of the Western Cape, as well as the legislative capital of South Africa, where the National Parliament and many government offices are located. The city is famous for its harbor as well as its natural setting in the Cape floral kingdom, including such well-known landmarks as Table Mountain and Cape Point. Cape Town is also Africa's most popular tourist destination.

Table Mountain is a flat-topped mountain forming a prominent landmark overlooking the city of Cape Town in South Africa, and is featured in the flag of Cape Town and other local government insignia. It is a significant tourist attraction, with many visitors using the cableway or hiking to the top. The mountain forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.

Two people come out of a building and into a story

Last Saturday I was coming from the library, I passed by my sisters place in town, I took a nap there and I woke up at 17:15 rushed for 18:00pm train to Bellville. I got into this train thinking that it’s going to pass at Bellville.I asked this guy that was sitting next to me. “Is this train really going to pass by Bellville? And he said "yes, definitely, because I’m also going there “got stark in Parow for hours. All in all we took a wrong train, we got lost in meltonrose road, I have never ever seen that place before. So we got off and that was the last train. When we were crossing over, 4 guys where following us, we ran to the police stations to get help. Did I mention that this is a German guy, his clueless about cape town because he only has 3 months in South Africa, can you believe it?The police helped us and dropped us at kuilsriver police station because the car had a problem with the breaks. But my boyfriend came along and took us home.Funny enough he invited me for lunch yesterday and we became friends...funny how friendship starts. Two people coming from different places and backgrounds but now.They are friends.

Design your short term goal

My next step is to create a short-term plan that will help move you toward independence."What can I do today, this week, or this month about that goal?" The answer to this question is my Short-term Goal: "This month I will investigate what kinds of jobs might give me greater independence." This Short-term Goal now gives me a concrete and specific set of tasks to accomplish in the immediate future. Once I set my Short-term Goal, I will always have some positive tasks to direct your actions.

Let's say that after a month of exploring options, I will take another step closer to my goal: "I think there is room in this city for a word-processing service. With my experience I know what it takes to provide quality typing to customers. I think I am capable of managing a small staff of typists. But I don't know much about business." I set my next Short-term Goal: "I'll take a 'small business' course at night this fall at the technical college." Now I have a distinct focus. I must select the best course, register, buy the materials, attend class each week, complete my homework assignments, and so forth.

It is far easier to motivate yourself when your goal is almost within reach. Small decisions can now seem important, because they influence your immediate-future goals. If you have difficulty applying yourself to your studies because owning your own business seems so far in the future, then set your Short-term Goal closer to your reach: "By the end of this course I want to be able to say that I applied myself every week to complete the assignments of that week. Therefore, I will start by finishing my paper due this Friday."

This is the process to use in overcoming panic. For instance, some people might have the positive goal of "looking forward to the adventures of life without fearing panic." You will reach that goal by setting dozens of small goals, one after the other. As you accomplish one Short-term Goal you will set your sights on the next.
