Checking In

     

                    

                        we have a big brain region linked to negativity bias. we are built to remember the negative. think of reasons to say yes

on a disciplinary level, disciplinary used for a lack of a better word. something along the lines of work ethic, mental strength if you will. eating is easy, not eating is hard. but it's stupid. humans need to do some stupid things to have a sense of accomplishment. like cold showers. stupid, but do what you need to do. for the time being though, don't take a cold shower.         take a warm one.

none of this is related, and i don't have any news to share for you guys, i'm writing for the sake of writing.

if you have a good idea, write it down. or , obviously, you may want to blow your brains out if you forget it. let me know if you agree with David Lynch.


writing things down is quite important i would say. not necessarily ideas, but sometimes you need to sit down and think to yourself, what the fuck is actually going on right now? you're not going to figure it out. nobody has.but it's good to keep track of your idea of what's klapping. 

You guys are reading what's klapping with me, but what's klapping with you? don't tell me. send me a letter. post it to the internet and call it a blog.

Ernest Hemingway said that sometimes a wise man needs to get drunk to spend time with his fools. But i think Anthony Bourdain had better ideas than that.

“Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride.” -AB


i remember the first time i tried to write a book. i was around 12 years old. i don't know what wrote, but it was a big deal in my mind. but i had other interests take over. like trying to smoke cigarettes in the garage. the heist went perfectly, everything had gone to plan. I had acquired the dough, and i made it to the getaway location. my lack of experience caught me in the end. i couldn't light the cigarette correctly. i didn't know i had to kickstart it by inhaling when lighting. master engineering by whoever invented the cigarette. a childlock i suppose. if you had to ask me, i'd say it's work from the germans. only they could get that right.


nothing good happens after 12. a theory proving itself right every time. but from a mathematicians stand point, you need to assume everything is false until proven true. from a physicists stand point, multiple reading need to be taken to improve accuracy. from a fools stand point, i don't know what to tell you. i think it's true. 

how do you acquire a serious passion for something. 

okay guys. this was a product of my fingers taking over. are the words coming from my mind or my fingers, i'll never know. 

wear a shirt this weekend guys. get out of the house. go somewhere nice and sunny. order that R85 beer. talk some kak. be lekker and the lekkerness will follow you.. be babelas, eat an icecream. listen to some dire straits. put that roof down nick. let your hair down dad. see that girl matteo. see that girl jordan. thanks everyone. love love love


I don't need a music machine telling me what a good story is, and matter of fact I've never asked nothing from nobody

Blister Skin

 God gave me style God gave me grace

Guys listen theres an intro song to this blog if you don't mind listening to 30 seconds of it - God gave me style by 50cent. Welcome back Jaime! thanks bro.. 
As i'm writing the intro to this blog i am listening to some of the music i was listening to when i first started this blog crap. It's thursday,  currently, and i'm writing this early because i don't want to miss another blog. I just worked out (googled) how many days it has been since the 3rd of january. 69 fucking days. how lekker is that, my lucky number. 

You are probably thinking "jaimie what is so special about the 3rd of jan?" let me ease that steam train of a brain of yours, it's the date of my first blog entry. you wanna know whats even crazier? It feels like i just wrote my first blog only 69 days ago.

Cut the crap. let's get to business. light your cigarette, *kicks feet up onto table* next week we got to get shit organised.         So? what's klapping, tjom? not much. since the last blog i have just had classes everyday, nothing special yet. maybe the occasional assignment. so far everyday is kinda the same, go to class, get home , do a little homework, eat something then get into bed. the bed is really where the magic happens. i have genius ideas during the 2 hours it takes me to fall asleep. 



A couple things to mention. My lovely parents come last week for a week to visit us for the week. I miss them a lot, so it was fanastic seeing them. had a good couple pints with the young old man and and my mother and i got a random person to inject  ink into our skins. why? well , the person told that the ink will never go away so we are just calling their bluff. shout out to my parents they have been there since day one. love you guys

Besides that, i have just been calling an italian guy everyday. he said hes going to visit me this weekend and stay for st patricks day which is great. what a good guy hey.


movies movies movies... hmmm. ah yes, Allied featuring Brad Pitt and some other people. great movie. he enjoys a couple brandys in that movie. i will admit it almost made me tear up. thats it since the last blog to be honest. i haven't been watching movies.


MUSIC. i know you guys are excited for this one. thanks for all the comments on the last blog saying you listen to the music i recommend. you guys should check out the comment section of the last blog to see everyone else who listens. I know you appreciate the fact that sharing my musics is my favourite part about writing this. the music coming through my ears as i am typing is Forget About by Sibylle Baier. Dis baier fokken sad i'll tell you that much. don't listen to it. listen to this:
Baby Baby - sports (groove crap)
ALRIGHT - Ashes to Amber(something)
Daisy Lady - Tir na nOg(spring time romance wind in your hair wine in your throat)
She's A Lady - Tom jones(on a mission with matteo- we're in shirts with beautiful european woman on a mission(watch out))
Her Eyes Dart Round - The Felice Brothers (matteo and i just woke up and thhe european woman wake up in disbelief)
I Was Made for Lovin' You -KISS (matteo and i are going out again(watch out))
Chelsea Dagger- The Fratellis(matteo and i have done it again)

Otherwise, i have a beautiful woman in my life at the moment. i won't say her name but it starts with a J and ends in essica. we have had our hiccups but i am faithful in our relationship and i believe we will be able to rebuild. we will reconstruct piece by piece and we will be stronger than ever.


That's pretty much it. I am going to stop writing for today. i may write some more tomorrow(friday, when i mean to post this) but if i don't, o well. ill find poem to leave you with quickly. it has been like 10 minutes and i still haven found something sick, this is getting ballistic. i almost tried to make my own. home alone home grown i cant get off my phone. maybe ill drink some wine but ill wine when i wake up and open the blind. not because i drank but because my bed sank and now i feel like hank. hank williams said theres a tear in his beer he's crying for you dear. 
Hope you enjoyed me playing with the english language.


It is friday and i have something to leave you guys with.


i'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
why don't you just shut up and enjoy the cigarette ?

thanks guys. i had fun writing this one. i love you all. love love love 




Now I am better, I implore you to say it isn't rightBut somewhere deep in historyYour father pulled your teeth out of your fight
we're only passing through
