Breaking the Habit

I was highly annoyed with myself this morning, because I kept trying to draw something and my hands just couldn't translate onto paper what I could see in my mind's eye. I gave up after a while, and covered my effort up in disgust - I shall reattempt it's correction after this post.

For now though, there are a few things I have the (urgent) need to discuss! The first being more news on Lawrence of CodeName SWAG notoriety - yup, this kid has yet again impressed me with his ability to start something fresh, with no clue about how it's going to end, but the ultimate aim being to try and set the bench mark. The best part is, he usually goes it alone and brings us into the fray when he's sure he's got his latest project up on it's feet - and the projects just keep rolling out. His latest is a discussion forum spanning across the board - it's still a baby, but the wide variety of topics and the reach he has with the teen populace might just ensure that Digital Street makes its mark. Follow the aforementioned link and register to start posting - and you might want to use "Dash" as a reference when doing so. It's brilliant to see the youth empowering themselves this way - refreshing really - which is why I'm doing all I can to help this budding (and rather talented) young programmer achieve his aspirations. If you haven't read about Law yet in my previous post at the beginning of the year, click on the ffg link ---> Lawrence Jugmohan and read all about his illustrious young career. 

The next thing on my list for today (and it's been bugging me ever since I read the headline this morning), is the announcement by Zimbabwean Prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, that President Robert Mugabe is ready to give up power, should he lose the next election. At first, I scoffed at the idea, but then the better part of me unveiled by Ramadaan decided to be optimistic. Robert Mugabe, who could have exited his country's politics a renowned hero and lived in its history books as a pioneer and revolutionary - instead chose the infamous title of dictator; tyrant; the man who raped Zimbabwe, and why? Greed. Avarice. Pride. Yet, who is to say that he hasn't locked it all away in Pandora's Box and really will allow his country to move forward into a new era? I'm looking at the new constitution that was drafted up on Friday as a good sign, and I'm pretty sure that international sanctions are helping the cause too. 

And the third piece for the day - Linkin Park is going to be burning through SA! I simply couldn't resist sharing this bit of tantalizing news. I'm off music for the month, but I couldn't help that jump of excitement that sparked through me when I read this up. I probably won't be attending, but for those who plan on: you'd better get cracking: Computicket sales open for the JHB show (Nov 10th) tomorrow (26th July) and for the Cape Town show (Nov 7th) on the 27th. For more info hit the link ---> Computicket Rules & Details. I scheme they took my blogpost to heart last year and decided to show us just how relevant they still are (they read it? Oh, I wish!). Why are all you LP freaks still reading this?! You should already be orchestrating your master plan to score tickets!

For now, I'm gone World - maybe try to draw some - or maybe not. Either way, peace out!
