In Persuit of Happiness

The are those movies that just make you relate, eventhough the situations are far different, but in a way you seem to find yourself closely related to the movie. In media it is said that media influences our daily behaviour. Today my lectures ended at 9:20,  as always. I took my time to watch the movie "Persuit of Happiness" by Will Smith and his son. The movie follows a life of a man who is intellegent, but who failed to achiever his dreams and his 7 year old son. They go through a lot of hardships in life and manage to keep hope. This movie reminded me of how easy one can lose it! However, life istself is an un-easy game, as human being we try everyday to find iternal happiness.

Happiness is one gift God gave us that is hard to come by, love may be nice but without happiness it wont survive, respect is good, but is is not worth it is it doesn't make you happy and caring is important,but it is not felt if the is no happiness around. Reaserch says most people commit crime, because they a not happy, and some commit suicide, because they are not happy too. Happiness is a virtue, to live a life that is beautiful and satisfying one has to  persue happiness.

I'm going to strive until i find happiness!

Hero Movies

I just finished watching the movie "Someone's Hero". It really touched me, i made me wonder how we were made to believe that what kinder person is a Hero. The movie tales a story about a lonely man who is an accountant and trains boxing just to shape-up, funny he is not good at all. He gets an assignment to go and help a a single parent of a young, and brave boy. eventually he falls inlove with the client, finding out  that the young boy loves Mr America (MA), a comic hero and accidentally while he was in a costume shope trying out the MA costume, a thug comes in and takes out a knife, demands money from two old people, a woman and a man. Hearing what is going on in the shop he comes up with an idea to save the old forks and rushes out with that suit, gets him self beat up, but manage to pull out a strong fight, and the thugs runs away. He saved the day but all that was caught on tape and veryone gets to see it. The next day at work the old guy from the shop visits with a present, it was the costume and tells him its a gift for saving their lives and persuade him to were it more often because he has just gave hope to a lot of people and with what he hears and observes he tries it one more time and he manages to save another day. The aim was show the kid that hero's still exist, even after his dad dead and doing so without them knowing that he is the one in the hero suit.

That gets him more close to the lady, as he gets to spend more time with her and the boy, but his boss realizes his secret and fires him, becaause he was messing with the client and he get depress and feels like this Hero thing is what got him into trouble and trows it away, but the following day, the old guys visit him again, but this time at his place. He was suprised how he knew where he stay and tried to tell to go away he is not being a hero again, but the  old guy would not take no for an answer and conviced to wear it for one last time at the stadium, before the bassball game start, late that night the lady calls and ask's to join them to watch a bassball game "what a co-incidence right". Arriving at the field he gets them something to snack and comes back give them the food, tells them he has something to do, he leaves and comes running in the field wearing his suit everyone claps for him and was given a mic. Delivers an amazing speech of braveness, but as he was about to reveal his true identity, some on the other mic is heard saying "This guy is an accountant he did this because he realized a kid's hero and decided to be that hero so he can bang his mom" The person behind the mic was payed buy the old guy to reveal the so called heros true identity.

That just messed everything up as the beautiful lady up and left, and the crowd hearing this attack him. He caught a taxi home after the beating and at home the little boy is trying to watch his favourite cartoon movie while the tape does not wanna play and calls his mom for help, as they a busy the tune in to the news. and our hero is still in the taxi, they find traffic and a lady office tells them to use another route and they ask what happen, the lady tells them the was an accident a bus driver got a tire punch and went out to check it out and one of the kids stepped on the accelerater. The kids are very afraid and crying and they still waitng for rescue peole, so came up with an idea that he should come and give these kids hope and they were happy to see him, thay aske him questions like "Are you here to save us?" "Are you going to take us out here" he did not know what to respond so he told them the truth and it was very long and last he told the about his hero Jake (the young boy). they listeen and surely the rescue was here and they took them out of the bus, meanwhile back at the house they are watching this live and they can't believe this and rush to the seen, but the bus fell into the bridge and the was still one kid in it, so the hero jumped in to save him. The rest you can go watch it yourself

Deep  down we all heros for someone, it does not matter what you do, what your gender, race or age, but someone sees something in you and  life is a short trip treat those you love with respec and bless everyday!

I Love my Grandfather

Yesterday during my Criminology lecture i realized that my grandfather has 15 biological children, that includes one who passed away and 3 step children. He is not my biological grandfather but he raised me from birth and i never knew my biological grandfather, though i knew were he stayed before he passed away, to me he meant nothing, even worse i do not consider him my grandfather, whether that is wrong or right i do not care, i never did. My grandfather had 3 wives, but now he is single, its strange i know! He had 11 children, 4 boys and 7 girls with his first wife and soon he met my grandmother who is the second wife whom he had 3 children with, 2 boys and 1 girl, but she already had 2 children my mother and uncle. I'm the first born of my mother, so after she gave birth to me she married my step dad, so i had to stay with my grandparents that was a traditional thing back in the 80s. Grandpa stayed with both of his wives but my grandmother was an ambitious woman and never imagined herself being a house wife so she continued working, she worked far from home in the big city 'Pretoria' , while my other grandmother stayed home taking care of us, but as time went by,as i was about to start school, I did not know why but she took us with her to the city and we missed a year of school, i was still a child i did not mind, but i enjoyed the city, i still have memories of it. The next year we also missed a year of school, because where we were supose to attend school, we did not understand the language which was spoken (setswana) "anyway we would have failed" said my granny. my aunt and uncle called my grandpa and told him they wanna come back, without my granny's knowledge and he came and took us back home but my granny was not happy with that and niether was i and Thathi (Thathi is my granny's last born who is about the same age as me. I guess they did us a favour, because to think about it now, what would've happen the next year.
My Aunt and uncle never finished school and so is Thathi, i'm the only one who managed to go all the way. After 10 years my granny stop working in the city and came back and build a house of her own and slowly broke-up with my grandpa and he decided if so why shouldn,t he build his other house a seperate house too and in that way they lost touch too. He met another young woman at work and had a child, but she past away after a month giving birth. She was my grndpa last wife the third one. My granny met a coloured man whom she dated and they never understood each other, i do not mean in terms of language, but they never seem to agree on anything and they always had different views and loved each other, they still do.  I consider myself a lucky person, because i have a huge family and i can relate with each and everyone of them. My grandpa is the best, everyday i pray to the lord that may he save me, my grandpa and my grandmother until i start working, because i wanna show them how much they mean to me.
Family is the best thing ever, I appreciate my whole family and all the friends whomi met, have and lost. The relatives i never met, especially my great grandma whom i last saw when i was 7. Life is precious and beautiful, people say life is hard, but one thing my grandpa once told me id that "never wish to be some else, because with you he is nothing, but with himself he is something"it never made sense but now it does. Every Sunday when i go to church i wish it was not only me who walks this road but wish that the whole world would just realize how beautiful it is just to dress good and sing for the purpose of rightiousness. I wake up everyday and thank him for the day he agian trusted me with "Thanks your mighty lord, thank you God"

My favourite all time" Lyrics"

"You had my mind contained, and yes i made mistakes and lost control at times, only because i could not think out of the box, the next thing you did is you tried so had to keep me safe and refrigerated my heart , i found it so cold, my feelings were so cold i felt like my blood would stop circulating, but you did not stop there but locked my soul in our bedroom closest, while your were making love to another man, it was so dark and the space to move was so limited, with my mind contained, my heart frozen and soul trapped. 'I'm Sorry' Hope the heavens open up coz if not that will make me an equal of the devil himself"

Please all you artist please do not steal 'lol' i worked hard on my lyrics, this is the first one to be posted in my blog. I'm not a musician but i like writing poetry and short stories!

SANGOMA or CHURCH:

Ever since this semester started, i just can't understand whats going on with me. I have this laziness in me, every-time i think about studying, my mind just goes all dead on me. Yesterday i kinder sucked while writing Criminology Test and this morning i also messed up writing the Politics Test, and all the assignment i wrote this semester i feel i did not give it my all.

If i fail this semester i will have to answer to myself and my mom and that is not going to happen., i need to find a way to sort this out even if it means going to church or visit a Sangoma. I know my parents won't approve of a sangoma simply because they are Christians and i never went to church ever since i got to varsity, i know that's wrong but that's what i'm trying to solve here! In the other hand i have these girls who are interested in me but i'm not, the problem is they are so closely related to my best friends so i can't play or screw them. 

This year i made a vow to myself that i will only focus on my studies and other side goals like establishing my NPO. However, sometimes things do not go as planned, but i still intend to stick to my goals, even-though the are these temptations and demonic spirits at work in my life i'm ma leave the Sangoma and on Sunday I'm going to any church in campus. I really do not like what's going on with me and if there is a way i'm going to pass my first year with flying colours, it's when i'm going to take a stand and deal with my problems!

SAD FOR DAYS

Today i wrote my first Criminology Test this semester, I studied so hard over the weekend studying both Criminology and Politics, which I'm writing it tomorrow morning 7:30am sharp. I thought i had covered all the angles of the course but i was wrong, today i was humiliated by a question paper, it was a multiple choice to make it worse, it did not give me any space to reason. I never felt like this after writing a test, i had planned to continue studying Pilitics after the test, but  I do not have the power and energy because this test just made me feel like i wasted time over the weekend why would i wanna continue wasting time?.


I'm really sad for days and i think until i see those results i wont be the same again and next year i'm dropping this course. I'm not quitting just that it is a rule that next year i have to drop on course until i'm left with my merger course. So between Politics and Criminology i think CRIM will go first. then the other year POLS will follow. I'm brave, strong and i'm not a loser so i'm going to study and go write tomorrow. Good night y'all. Hope your Monday was great!  

Second Day of Spring

Yesterday was my lil sister's birthday, she is growing fast the next thing we know she will be bossing me around, it's funny how girls grow, they just grow up so fast. I wanted to surprise her in the morning, but because it was a spring day that was hardly impossible. the campus was crazy with everyone having a giant basket filled with water and all the water pumps widely opened. The morning i woke out, i was already given a well deserved shower and that was the begging you wouldn't walk in or out of the campus without being poured with water.

I had to join in, i was wet, angry and had no choice. Though the only thing in my mind was the birthday, i had to wish this would just end but no they carried on until 4 in the evening, will share the pic as soon as i'm done arranging them.

 I have to say i start spring in an unusual way, Tomorrow i'm writing Victiminology and on Tuesday i'm writing  Political Science and i did not touch alcohol this year in spring day! that's amazing.

I'm looking forward to this year spring and summer festivities. Happy Spring People

Education on Fire, and Good News

The burnt part of my former school

On Saturday my former high school caught fire and burned down, luckily the community noticed the bright light from the fire and rushed to see what was it and where it comes from and were able to put out the fire. However, they may have succeeded, but most of the schools information was already in ashes. I just wish and hope this will not affect academic records of the school and the learners performance,especially matriculants.
  Still on education, i receive good news today, i'm very happy and proud of my friend who just got accepted in University of South Africa (UNISA). he will be studying a degree in Accounting, i wish him all the best and i believe in him. This is the best news ever this year...... Congratulation to him, education is the best choice one can make!

South Africa a DEAD Country..

Ever since Jacob Zuma and Julius Malema emerged in power, the country has been unsure of its future. The two teamed up to removed one of the country's best former president after Mandela, that is Thabo Mbeki a man i truly value and respect. The country was starting to show some positive development in terms of economy and education under his leadership, but because current president Jacob Zuma and his psychic suspended former president of the ANCYL Julius were uneducated and did not understand his strategies, you  could also say they were blinded by their racial and tribalism behaviors, they decided to remove Mbeki from power so that they can turn this country into a war zone of their own. Currently the same person who help Zuma to power is insulting him and the country is divided in two where Julius is busy fooling the poor about his strategies of empowering them, but he had the chance, yet he was busy enriching himself and his family, just because now his best friend turned against him he comes with promises.
Violence and corruption is at the core of our country's leadership, a question can be asked "is this what is called freedom?" in a recent incident in Marikana at North West, 34 mine workers who were protesting were gunned down "dead"  by police officers and instead of handling this tragic event in a proper manner Julius and Zuma decided to turn this incident into their own stupid game.
South Africa is as good as dead, it is gonna be hard to the poor in the few coming couple of years if we allow ANC to take another turn in running this country. As a student i feel for those who dropped out of school and those who took their education for granted, we heading to new are, more like other African country where people like Malema and Zuma killed their economy!

It's up to us to stop this destruction that's about to destroy our country. Let's make the right decision and choose well in the next elections, because it's our future we talking about here, more especially our children s' future.

Porvety an excuse of failure(2013 no children grants)

Poverty is one of the major crisis this country is faced with and it has been existing for years and years, most of us grow up poor and that did not restrict us from chasing our dreams. South Africans have been spoiled a lot and most of young people in this country continue to add in the statistics of poverty.
 The government has been giving away all these freebies and failing to educate the nation, to tell the truth a young person with real dreams and ambitions is on his/her own in this country. The government cares less about education but looks a lot at taking away what already exist from those who can maintain and cherish, the country's money (tax payers money) is spent on useless things and people do not care.

Young people commit crime, take drugs, beg on the street and most of them drop out of school and you ask why they say "Its because I'm poor" that excuse has already reached an expiry date, but they still use it. The truth is that 'young people of today have been fooled by the wrong people who pretend to be representing them, the likes of aboMalema. These people are capitalists who wanna enrich themselves in the name of the poor. Poverty is no more a factor that can stop you from being who you wanna be. I for on was born and raised in a disadvantaged family of six and we live in a shack built with mud, but that did not stop me from dreaming and still today i'm chasing my dream'.
This other day when i was at home (Dullstroom) i saw a child and he look familiar, i walk towards him, he was wearing his green school uniform and his shoes wear torn out, he was dragging them and his face was facing down, as i came near him he turn fast towards and away again. My heart start to feel down and my soul started to be sad. I asked him "What's your name?" with his face facing down he replied "I'm Thabo Johannes 'Surname', i'm 12 doing grade7 and i stay there" he pointed at his home. I did not know what to say because he was so clever and i could tell that he has dream but just because of his background all that can change. So i decided to start a campaign with my friends and we did, we called it a Dress a Child Campaign. We went around town t o donate clothing but the response was not good, yet we manage to get a few and we appreciated that because it made a diffference to those few.

We all need to understand that the people in government offices have a lot to deal and they can't deal with each and everyone of us. Feel for that child as you would feel for yours. The spirit of ubuntu has been forgotten in this country, the only time we get to use that is when the is a racial saga..My wish is that all these freebies can be cut of from people have not yet have babies in 2013 and what is this thing of money given to the unemployed. I think the is a plan to destroy SA.

Being a Better Person... (BBP)

This is what you should do: Love the earth and the sun and the animals, despite riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God... Then your life_(Walt Whitman)...  

Life is not a game of soccer, in this game goals are set in dreams and achieved in reality.

I need a strong wake-up call, i can't do anything my body just feels so lazy. Is it witchcraft? No i don't think so, but the possibilities are high! Life has become so complex, everything seem so easy, yet impossible. I can operate a computer like a pro but i find it hard to do computer science.......

This semester seems to be short. I can't believe that its been almost a month since we re-opened and it feels like we opened last week. three (3) Assignment due next week Monday and Two (2) tests next week Thursday and Friday..... I took this semester lightly i think it's about time i pull up my socks and up my game. I realized that 3 years its nothing i can finish this degree with a blink of an eye. From today i will start to focus more on my studies and forget about other things that can distract me, hard as it may be, i have no choice, because i feel i have missed out on many thing.
God be at my sight and bless me as i take this road again. I need strength, wisdom, knowledge and courage. 

Which way will it be?

 In life you make you own choices and weather you succeed or fail is up to what you have chosen for your future plans.... When you fail do not plain anyone but rather look at what you did wrong and try again........ As long as God has granted you another day, means you still have greater mountains to conquer..

Use your brain Positively.
