Temptation

Hmmmm …

Mmk, so I’m intent on being a rock star. I’m too old to learn to play the guitar and my singing voice, well … let’s just say that some things should remain a mystery hehe 😉

But the one thing I think I *could* do and really WANT to do, is play the drums!

Actually, I’m so keen and have been for a few years now that learning to play the drums is an item that made it onto my bucket list a while ago.

Thing is, going for lessons is not really something I can commit to – work pressure, money, time etc. And if I got my own kit, where the hell would I keep it? I have ZERO space in my house. Plus, there’s the noise factor as well … it would certainly create some ear ache!

Sooooooooo

I’ve got my eye on something my Dad found for me – digital drums! The Casio LD 80 Digital Drums, to be exact.

Check it out: http://www.skysun.co.za/musical_instruments/product_info.php?cPath=0_4&products_id=1094

LOOKS AWESOME!!

The price is quite steep, but my Dad has very kindly offered to pay half as a birthday pressie for me.

What do you think? Seriously. Should I go for it?

Sex on Fire

Mmk, so I mentioned yesterday that I am just LOVING the new Kings of Leon album,
Only by the Night.

Seriously, this is my absolute FAVOURITE album at the moment!

For those of you who have no clue who they are or what they sound like, here’s a sample …

It’s the first single off their album called “Sex on Fire.”

ENJOY!

DAMN! They ROCK!

SOTD – Indestructible

Indestructible – courtesy Disturbed

Another mission
The powers have called me away
Another time
To carry the colors again
My motivation
An oath I’ve sworn to defend
To win the honor
Of coming back home again
No explanation
Will matter after we begin
Another dark destroyer that’s buried within
My true vocation
And now my unfortunate friend
You will discover
A war you’re unable to win
I’ll have you know
That I’ve become…

Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side
A terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you’re alive
I’m an indestructible master of war

Another reason
Another cause for me to fight
Another fuse uncovered
Now, for me to light
My dedication
To all that I’ve sworn to protect
I carry out my orders
With not a regret
A declaration
Embedded deep under my skin
A permanent reminder
Of how we began
No hesitation
When I am commanded to strike
You need to know
That you’re in for the fight of your life

You will be shown
How I’ve become….

Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side

I’m…

Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side
A terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you’re alive
I am indestructible (indestructible)

Well that was short and sweet

I have seemed to have landed smack bang on my ass in The Land of Big Fat Hairy Fart Balls today.

And I am taking action, whether you like it or not.

Energy Vampires have no place in my life.

Oh go ahead, call me a bitch, or call me a hard-arse cow, whatever floats your boat.

Just remember that I didn’t make it this far by being a sap. I’m not about to risk it all by letting things lie in a pile of toxic waste.

BAH!

Oh well, at least my angry mood combined with some hard, rocking music is fueling some crazy productivity today …

Disturbed FTW!

Song of the Day: Life Wasted

Life Wasted – Pearl Jam

You’re always saying that there’s something wrong.
I’m starting to believe it’s you’re plan all along.
Death came around, forced to hear it’s song
And know tomorrow can’t be depended on

Seen the home inside your head.
All locked doors and unmade beds

Open sores unattended
Let me say just once that

i have faced it, a life wasted.
I’m never going back again.
I escaped it,a life wasted.
I’m never going back again.
Having tasted, alife wasted.
I’m never going back again.

The world awaits just up the stairs
Leave the pain for someone else
Nothing back there for you to find
Or was it you you left behind?

You’re always saying you’re too weak to be strong.
You’re harder on yourself than just about anyone

Why swim the channel just to get this far?
Halfway there, why would you turn around?

Darkness comes in waves … tell me,
Why invite it to stay?

You’re one with negativity
Yes, comfort is an energy
But why let the sad song play?? ???

I have faced it, a life wasted
I’m never going back again

Oh i escaped it, a life wasted
I’m never going back again

Having tasted, a life wasted
I’m never going back again

Oh i erased it, a life wasted
I’m never going back again

Every Day Is Exactly The Same

My anthem for today, courtesy Nine Inch Nails.

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I’ve been told
I really don’t want them to come around

Oh, no

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I’m happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can’t remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I’m writing on a little piece of paper
I’m hoping someday you might find
Well I’ll hide it behind something
They won’t look behind
I’m still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don’t know, I don’t know what else I can do
