Tear Gas Is One Helluva Gas!

Image
Dearest Reader, Tear Gas GRANADE!! A happy week 4 to all earthlings. A wonderful and prosperous 2012 to all! Seriously, let us all grow from strength to strength. Let us all be more of who we desire to be. These are my personal desires and my desires for all that exist. Yes, I am feeling good, peaceful, and at ease. I am having that rapid heartbeat thing again, but other than that, I am good. Oh, wait!! I am not completely good physically. On Friday, I ran into some teargas and I've been feeling a little under the weather ever since. No, I wasn't protesting somewhere, nor did I get gassed out by the authorities for shady business like a home coke-lab. I was just in the nightclub in Rosebank when all of a sudden, the club went from full to empty in 30 seconds from my vantage point. And then, I saw people coughing, covering their eyes and acting strange, and I wondered what the hell had just happened. Not being too concerned for some odd reason, I figured that, if some...

I am The Messiah: I Speak of Myself In Third Person Regularly

Image
Dearest Reader, This is my favorite song by Drake. It's called, "Say What's Real". This song and another called "Successful" featuring Trey Songz, are the only songs by Drake which I truly enjoy. First and foremost, I am Veronnica Wolpendz , a singer, song-writer and a guitarist plus a teacher (not professionally). That is WHAT I am before anything else right now, even though I have a lot of other refined skills. As for WHO I am, I AM. Yes, the answer to WHO I am is "I AM" . These are very important things to remember about me, so that, when you require any of my time, it must contribute to both these things. If it doesn't contribute to these things, and you ask more or less of me than What or Who I am, you will pay for my time in some form whether it be monetary, or through a product or a service to make up for my time because it takes lots of energy to go outside of what I have chosen to be. Veronnica Wolpendz and Jerry Dee...

Hepatitis is FOREVER! - My ANC Weekend in Mangaung!

Image
Dearest Reader, As I write this blog, I am feeling a bit weird, rapid heartbeat, feeling a bit spaced out, and I know with certainty that the iron supplements, vitamic C and the Calcium/Magnesium aren't the cause, or everybody would be on 'em. So, I wonder what's going on with my body. Maybe I am ascending. :) Okay, that's enough of a pity party. Let's move on to the blog post about what happened 7 days ago when I went to Mangaung to perform at the ANC Centenary celebrations. I went to sleep around 3am and 4am on that Saturday, the day I was supposed to be heading to Mangaung, Bloemfontein. I wasn't at a party, getting down to the boogy. I was just experiencing good ol' insomnia. Before that, I had a genius plan to take an antihistamine to knock me out. What transpired was that the antihistamine didn't work on time, and I ended up sleeping for 3 hours to wake up 7am, drunk and groggy from the antihistamine which had decided to take effect during my ...

The ANC Is Going To Make Me Vomit!

Image
African National Congress (ANC) Emblem Dearest Reader, Chief Albert Luthuli On Sunday, the 8th of January, I will be performing in front of thousands of people on a very historic day for South Africa, i.e.  The ANC Centenary . The word "centenary" is self-explanatory; The ANC  is celebrating their 100th year as an organization and a political party. Although I might not be happy about politicians in general due to my assumption that they are corrupt and self-serving, I would never have even had the opportunity to sing for a living were it not for The ANC  and its members who died for my salvation. It may sound dramatic, but this is exactly what they did for us and I am forever grateful. As a matter of fact, I actually can't believe that I am being paid to perform at this event because performing would have been payment enough. Steve Biko This political party was once deemed as a terrorist organization in the old apartheid regime of South Afric...

Hottest Men Alive Today!

Image
Dearest Reader, I would like to apologize to the men who are about to read this blog post. The subject matter and contents are more suited for the feminine kind among us. I was sitting in my bedroom, about to sleep and I decided to Google one of my favorites currently, Micheal Fassbender, when I came up with the idea of doing a list of hot men as a blog post. It is a frivolous exercise, only meant to amuse and titillate and nothing more. So, here goes the list, in no particular order. Michael Fassbender. He has piercing blue eyes, by the way...  There is good-looking, and then there is Michael Fassbender. He is in a league of his own. As a matter of fact, due to his gorgeousness, He is an actor and was born in Germany and raised in England, I think. Actually, who cares. Look at him, and that is all you need to know about this man.  2. Leonardo DiCaprio He is King of my world, that's for sure. Leonardo DiCaprio. Need I say more? I think not. But, if you m...

My Day of Peace, Balance and Nothingness.

Image
hubnab-ku (balance) Dearest Reader, Before I attempt to sleep, I thought it was appropriate to update this blog, simply because I have not done so in a very long time and I have a few moments to spare. I have nothing in particular to discuss, even though there have been many developments and intrigues that have occurred in my life since my last post. I suppose I will leave the 'update' for some other time when I'm in a different mood. For now, I would just like to speak about nothing in particular, you know? Have you ever felt this way, where you just don't feel like discussing anything because nothing is more pleasurable than the simple experience of the present moment of silence? taijitu (balance) I have no particular opinion about anything right now, good or bad. I am not unhappy, and neither am I ecstatic. I am just at peace. Nothing moves me. I am unmoved. Nothing is worth my thought energy other than silence. Nothing stands out. That's how I fee...

Music, Activism and Daydreams!

Dearest Readers, (I should have said, "Dearest Americans" since most of my readers are from there, because I am bitter that my home country couldn't be arsed about this blog, but for the handful that DO read, I will not say such.) *ahem* Where was I? Oh yes, I was graciously greeting my wonderful readers who keep on increasing with time, in an alarming rate. Thank you for reading my blog. Me, blurred, in front of the Mic It has been some time since I last updated this self-centered blog of mine. I apologize for my obvious neglect and lack of care, but I had better things to do these last few weeks. This is not to say that this blog is not important, but I had a lot of work to do in studio, i.e. recording my music, which is pretty much the purpose of my life. I hope you all understand. I love making music, I love the prospect of more people hearing it, and so, when the opportunity arises for me to do things that take me closer to achieving such, I drop everyth...
