Star Signs

On my Twitter timeline this morning,this other girl had tweeted: "We Libras love attention". And then got to thinking: A lot of people like to hide behind their star signs. Just because you were born in a certain time-frame doesn't mean you have to be "easily angered and stubborn" by default. A lot of people in this world don't own up to their own bad traits.

Being a sapiosexual and thus naturally inquisitive, I turned to google. I wanted to know what other traits people attribute to their star signs. The answer was on a Yahoo forum. And it was by somebody named Haifa ♊•♋. Here is what he/she said:

Aries: easily angered, too competitive, has to be right all the time and controlling.
Taurus: possessive, greedy, stubborn, lazy, explosive and jealous.
Gemini: not two-faced but more like "multiple personalities", fickle, flirty, superficial, cunning, easily bored, restless and tense.
Cancer: clingy, changeable, overemotional, needy, moody and lives in the past.
Leo: arrogant, bossy, intolerant, self-centered, demanding and has unlimited sexual lust.
Virgo: perfectionist, worries a lot, conservative, harsh, overcritical, miserly and strict
Libra: gullible, easily-influenced, flirty, people pleaser, timid and shallow.
Scorpio: dark, jealous, obsessive, secretive, controlling and resentful
Sagittarius: brutally honest, careless, irresponsible, superficial, restless, hates being tied down, annoyingly optimistic, and a player.
Capricorn: too serious, strict, workaholics, grudging, miserly, pessimistic and unspontaneous.
Aquarius: aloof, unemotional, detached, perverse, contrary, unpredictable, cold, and loners.
Pisces: too much fantasies, idealistic, escapist, easily-led, secretive, too-sensitive, always seems to be "lost" and easily hurt.

If my Leo male friends were to see this, they would have a "valid" reason for being sex addicts. So if me and my woman conceive a child today, he/she will probably be born sometime in July. Making the baby: Cancer. Making the poor baby "clingy, changeable, over-emotional, needy, moody and living in the past" just because... Aaargh, please man

True Religion

This Miss Understood that Religion was an invisible divide. So her only flaw was having an apartment floor filled with True Religion. Jeans more than genes her Mother gave her. Diesels gave her fuel but in her True Religion she fit in. True Religion,we call it expensive taste. Plate collection time, she tells you the price and it brings you to your knees. True Religion and the broke bitches pray for a pair. But this Miss Understood. Like a rare disease and she's the only that gets it. Quite shocking,like a chapter of Revelations. You buy someone a pair and they give you that Corinthians 13 type-love. You buy blue jeans for this blue blood and she tells you "No thanks, I have enough till Judgment Day". Can't call her a dirty hoe, she's cleaner than an India Arie song. No profanity,she stays True to her Religion. You say you are a stallion in bed but her shirts say Polo and her car is a Ferrari so that's the only Horse-power she needs.

You thought she was shallow till you asked her about her True Religion and she said: "If God was one of us, we wouldn't spend time living our lives fully but all trying to get closer to the man we love the most. Only to criticize his invention once given the chance. You don't know the inventor of the PlayStation still you love it. Maybe because of all the games it let's you play. Boys will be boys. Please let me be, its hard playing a game you don't know the rules of. Worse still,what is the score and who keeps it?"

The Men

A Saturday in Blue Valley

I spent a Saturday in beautiful Blue Valley Golf and Country Estate. These are just some of the photos I took at an Uncle's house. He is an Electrical Engineer by profession and I can't help but think that my life will be surrounded by such beauty as long as I continue to make the right decisions and learn from my mistakes and those of others. From a Grand Piano, a Wine collection that would make connoisseurs smile with delight to R49 874 oriental carpets from the Heriz Gallery in Fourways, this house is filled with masterpieces.

I urge you to dream big. It costs nothing to do and almost everything not to.

No, Its Not Okay

Ralph Lauren, Diesel, Lacoste, Takeshy Kurosawa, Louis Vuitton and Ed Hardy. These are just some of the few name brands that people have been driven to refrain from buying because so many counterfeits exist.

Personally I feel that it shouldn't matter if the brand is being faked or not when you know that you are wearing the real deal. It just disappoints me that some people would disrespect designers and fashion houses like that. Or even their bodies for that matter. In my student days, I remember coming to Johannesburg and finding some Guess Jeans on display at the market. Grabbing a pair and entering the make-shift fitting room,I put on the pair. Sure it felt comfortable and roomy for a skinny jean,but it felt itchy and irksome as well. Needless to say,I didn't buy it. Why should I spend R300 on junk when I could easily buy a pair of jeans at Mr Price for half the money? You get a great pair of jeans on your next date and some change to get a new t-shirt and some milkshakes. Think about it.


You don't buy a Diesel jean because its expensive - would R100 condoms wouldn't sell? You buy Diesel jeans because i) you love being unique and these high-end jeans you are wearing are the only ones in that size in the store (every store gets one size of each pair). ii) you love how the material never seems to whither or wear no matter how many times you wash it iii) you deserve the best and your heart is happy.

People love beautiful things but don't have the patience for them. They will tell you: "These items are the same. Just because these ones are cheaper doesn't mean the others are any better." At this point I simply ask: "Is that sweater also made of Cashmere?"
