the guy who thinks he's mature because he's 30!

Luckily enough, I got spoiled by my brother's friends over the weekend.
I got a taste of the vibe in Cape Town.
Somewhere during the fun, I came across what appeared to be a decent gentleman and later turned out to be a perverted, julius-loving, imbecile later.
I still feel disgusted. I'm so tired of men!

I know I'm young and everybody thinks
I'm saying that just because
I'm a modern, model-c, educated, mild-feminist
whose culture and roots have been diluted
by westernization and whose mind has been
so completely brain-washed as to think that black men
should court a woman by appealing to her mind
through mild charm and light flattery,
silly debate and some deep insight
rather than appealing to her to remedy
the heat she causes in the flesh between his legs...

I'm sick of men!
The kind of men, and there are far too many of them actually,
who think that because they are forever playing the game of chase
women SHOULD ALWAYS be flattered by their sheer interest.
Well excuse me, if the feeling isn't mutual!

It is shocking how many men complain that
we women are rude to stick our noses up
and claim to have standards when THEY approach us
with poorly-constructed, foul-stinking, perverted phrases
that are fully saturated with shameless lust
and boast thier crass confidence
- gained through the success they have had in getting the random lay.

I WILL NOT APOLOGISE FOR BEING ONE WOMAN WHO WANTS SOMETHING SMART and INTRIGUIGING but SUBTLE AND DECENT! ESPECIALLY, TO ANYONE WHO ACCUSES ME OF BEING IGNORANT TO THE RESULT OF MY HISTORICAL CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN I AM THE DIRECT RESULT OF IT AND FULLY AWARE! IT IS IGNORANCE THAT MEN STILL WANDER ABOUT AND ASSUME THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE LAID SEVERAL WOMEN WITHOUT SINCERE COURTSHIP THAT ALL OF THE ONES WHO WANT COURTSHIP ARE MODERN-DAY "WEE"-MEN. oh pahleeease!

I am not trying to be a man by being a kind of feminist.
I'm more of the woman that I, as a woman, want to be.

I feel like vomitting just when I relay the previous encounters that I've had with a lot of them and I'm absolutely revolted.

Not to say that I'm stuck-up.
I really think I'm tolerant.
But I'm tired.

I'm sick of lay-chasing men!

Strong Future International

Everybody spends a bit of time trying to find a way to make extra money. I must confess to being one of those people who sit in front of the computer and do it. So I was running my eyes over a few evening/weekend job offers on www.gumtree.co.za when I saw a short line in the list reading, "Make Money Online For Free!"
It wasn't the first time that I had read those words. However, I always seem to find myself reading up what information pops up on the screen ater I click the hyperlink. Lo and behold, I always read the words, "Register Now", "Make Money In Minutes" and then I yawn it off and carry on sending out emails to family and friends and reading up random information on Google. Oh yes, and I continue screening the net for career and internship opportunities for when I complete my studies.
This was not a very different scenario but it's taking me a few more hours (spread over days) than usual to find the weak link in the Strong Future International money-making scheme. I know it already sounds bad by just being a money-making scheme but I'm not going to credit it a better title until I know what on earth they keep going on about. All I can tell you is that it has this motivational element about it. I know for a fact that most networking companies go for the motivational approach to get people hooked on their business opportunities. Some of these things work anyways. My dad dabbled in it and made some profits although we would've much preferred the millions that they claim we'll have in a few months.
So I'm not completely cynical about this SFI, but I will not deny my absolute scepticism for this kind of thing, with the internet being such a mean monster and all. It makes money and steals money. I've watched too many movies to try something funny online. Like, how do people do online banking and stuff? Whoo, I will graduate to that level of trust for the internet when I have things to do online that have banking involved.
For now, I'm going read all the spam these SFI people send me until they say, "Make a small investment of...$$$ to make your business flourish", and then I'll block them. In the mean time... they sound like they know I'm sceptical... hahahaha.
