Lucky Enough

 

                            Lucky Enough

The What's Klapping number three. Can you believe it. I've kept up the inconsistency trend. call it consistently inconsistent. reason being? For why? You'll never know. Don't forget who's running this show. and on the note of who's running this show, theres only ever been two MF's as bad as me. and I'm both of them.

Before i write exams i listen to rap songs that get me hyped up. I've been called a mathematical gangster. I'm an academic weapon of mass destruction, sometimes theres recoil and splash damage but believe you me, i know how to handle it.

Following my last entry, i've been proven wrong and i stand corrected. you can indeed trust an italian. however, there a specific requirements. the italian needs to be from the tropical coasts of Blouberg (𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘨𝘪𝘢 𝘥𝘪 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘢 𝘣𝘭𝘶) based very south of Italy. This italian also needs to have a vocabulary containing various Afrikaans swear-words and needs to wield the ability to drink copious amounts of South African Brandewyn. Without these attributes, you'll find your typical italian who showers twice a month and wears their nose like an eagle.     # Eagles are actually very interesting and i'd recommend watching some documentaries on them

What's Klapping now? Well i finished writing exams and i have a couple days off until the start of the next semester. I've been chilling. Enjoying a few alcoholic beverages and conversations with strangers. Makes me thing about "Don't go to strangers" JJ Cale. In terms of musics; "I Don't Belong" and "Jackie Down the Line" by Fontaines D.C. have been on repeat for me. How many of you actually listen to the music i mention? let me know. "July" by Wunderhorse has also been on repeat. I'm looking at going to watch them in Spain in July when i'm done writing finals.

I watched "Blue Romance" and "Green Book" in the past two weeks. Blue Romance is a load of shit. Green Book was great though. 10/10 recommend. It was unsuspecting, Otherwise i haven't read any books after i got scammed with the last one. I can't remember if i told you guys on the last blog but basically going for golds second chapter was titled "Malta, the pearl of the Mediterranean", which explains why it was for sale in this random small shop. Maybe ill pick up another book this weekend. you'll have to wait and see.

On the life side of things, it's all pretty chilled. Weirdly enough i'm excited for this 2nd semester. I'm appreciating the work a bit more and i'm living a chilled lifestyle.  I'm trying to appreciate everything a little bit more. This isn't spiritual thing or any crap like that. It could be a lack of female distractions. And thats not a choice or any crap like that. It's a result of just letting things happen i guess. Just going with the flow. The motion of the ocean. Motion is lotion. Bad days are also part of a very good and sexy life.

i've picked this out for you 

"

I'll grow to know the road to home in places far away
Wrinkled, bald, and beat to shit, to never waste a day
Enough people will hate me that I know I did it right
But to never meet a human being that I say that I don't like
Let me learn the hard way and cut it close sometimes
That youth is the attic chest where every lesson lies
I'll have some kids and teach them that we are all the same
Sufferin', smilin', silhouettes of every passin' day

The love I have will always be something my friends yearn
My memories were never cheap and never easy earned
I hope to choke on jack and coke in a bar during a northern winter
On a night the band was tight and right as rooftop lights flicker
If I'm lucky enough, I'll understand losing someone close
I'll clench my teeth on New Year's Eve and try to talk to ghosts
I'll stumble through a market on a Sunday day in June
Smell the salt and asphalt on a Sunday afternoon

I reckon I'd be lucky if I made it half as far
To only die on hills that are closest to my heart
If I'm lucky enough, notebooks will be strewn across my room
Or play catch on green grass with spring time flower bloom

If I'm lucky enough, I'll tell the truth every chance I get
'Cause smiles faked to appease another is worth ten regrets
If I'm lucky enough, I will get through hard things
And they will make me gentle to the ways of the world
If I'm lucky enough, I'll have the courage to leave and go
Wherever my beatin' heart tells me to go

If I'm lucky enough, I'll get high and invite a guitar player over
And he'll play sweet notes until a New York City rooftop sun rises
I'll meet some kids in school that still know how to play instruments
If I'm lucky enough, I'll make it exactly to where I'm taking this breath now
Lay my head upon the Earth and laugh at passing clouds
If I'm lucky enough, I'll remember the shaky things we've seen
Grab your beer through tears and fears, the great American bar scene
