Money makes the world go round

I am finally back and breaking the silence :) Enjoy!
Lyrics: Money, Money, Money [Joel Grey]


M.C. and SALLY:
Money makes the world go round
The world go round, the world go round
Money makes the world go round
It makes the world go round

A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound
A buck or a pound, a buck or a pound
Is all that makes the world go round
That clinking, clanking sound
Can make the world go round

Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money

If you happen to be rich and you feel like a night's
entertainment
You can pay for a gay escapade
If you happen to be rich, and alone, and you need
A companion, you can ring tingaling for the maid

If you happen to be rich and you find you are left by your
lover
Tho you moan and you groan quite a lot
You can take it on the chin
Call a cab, and begin to recover on your fourteen carat
yacht

Money makes the world go round
The world go round, the world go round
Money makes the world go round
Of that we both are sure
On being poor

Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, mon

When you haven't any coal in the stove and you freeze
In the winter and you curse to the wind at your fate
When you haven't any shoes on your feet and your coat's
thin as paper
And you look thirty pounds underweight

When you go to get a word of advice from the fat little
pastor
He will tell you to love evermore
But when hunger comes to rap, rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat
At the window, see how love flies out the door

For money makes the world go round
The world go round, the world go round
Money makes the world go round
The clinking, clanking sound of money

Money, money, money, money, money, money, money
Get a little, get a little
Money, money, money, money
Mark, a yen, a buck or a pound
That clinking, clanking, clunking sound
Is all that makes the world go round
It makes the world go round

The Torture that is High School: It Never Ends

One of my favourite bands of all time, Bowling for Soup, have a song named “High school never ends”. And not only is the song good, but there have never been truer words spoken.I think it must suck to suffer right through high school, then graduate thinking you would get away from “those people”. You find a job, and walk in prepared for the mature adult world.

Ha freaking Ha.

“4 Years and  you think for sure

That’s all you’ve got to endure

All the total dicks, all the stuck-up chicks

So superficial, so immature.

Then when you graduate

You take a look around and you say “Hey wait!”

This is the same as where I just came from

I thought it was over

Well that’s just great”

Your boss is the typical head boy or girl. They demand respect and are deemed the smartest and most responsible people in the office. Top of the food chain. You, just starting an internship or job shadowing, are the rookie. The Fetch-me-coffee-twerp rookie. You could just, if you stand on your toes, see the bottom of the food chain.

Welcome to the corporate business world.

Your colleagues will be like your classmates. There will be the typical jocks, their sport glory days just visible after all this time. They will talk about upcoming games and matches. Then you will find the anti-social people. They are like the loners in high school. They never come to business functions, and say little to nothing about themselves. Very mysterious-like.

You will also find the “nerds”. People with unusual, or different hobbies. The people that are excluded for no reason. The populars have to grace the office with an appearance of course, perfectly groomed. They will be either very nice, or snobbish beyond. And then, luckily, you get the people. No descriptions, or add-ons. Just normal, nice, every day people who come to work to make a living.

And the conversations in the office will be just like the song:

” The whole damn world is just as obsessed with who's the best dressed

And who's having sex.

Who's got the money, who gets the honeys, who's kinda cute

And who's just a mess.

And you still don’t have the right look, and you don’t have the right friends.

Nothing changes but the faces, the names and the trends...

High School Never Ends.”

Guess we should get used to it while we can then..

One Direction Infection!

I am honest when I say I’m not a boyband loving girl. I don’t do Westlife, or anything like that. I love AC/DC and Nirvana. But then a day came where everything would change.... I got One Direction Infection.

I’m sad to say I never saw them on X factor. Being in South Africa, the show didn’t catch on that fast and we never watched it. I found them in a different way; through the power of radio. Studying for an exam, I was sitting on the floor with my papers sprawled around me when a song started playing:” You’re insecure, don’t know what for, you’re turning heads when you walk through the door.” I listened to the entire song and ended up googling One Direction. Before I knew it I was looking for their pictures, joining facebook fan pages and watching youtube clips of them. In another inspired moment I phoned my best friend Leizelle and she became a Directioner too.

Suddenly we were like love struck little girls instead of the independent women we prided ourselves in being. And we LIKED it!

I’m not saying it was all easy. Our new found hobby picked up scorn from every angle, with people saying they were just a glorified Jonas Brothers. Little do they know that the Jonas Brothers would sell their souls to be as awesome (and gorgeous) as those five boys!

And just like 1,000,000 other people out there, I started adoring Harry Styles. What’s not to like? He’s cute, with those curls and his brilliant sense of humor... Definitely someone to keep an eye on!But what about these five guys makes girls world wide swoon? I think I have the answer.

They care.

To them, their fans aren’t just people who form a crowd. To them, we are as important as oxygen, and that makes the difference. Who could forget in that memorable interview when the journalist called us obsessive and Louis said no, we were dedicated? Always taking time to say hi or take pictures with fans, these boys always light up our lives.

Which is another reason I don’t understand all the hatred. Yes, they are famous, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have feelings. They are just a bunch of young guys who sing, for our benefit. The question I always want to ask all these haters is:” Would you be able to go out there and do what they do?” No, so stop judging. It takes some serious guts to perform.

One Direction is fast becoming a house-hold name. I am eager to see what they will achieve in their very bright future!
