When you think of U2 you think great music! They have been around since I can remember.
Tonight my perception about them took a turn in the wrong direction. I would go as far as saying that I would NEVER listen to a single song of them EVER. I am so disappointed in them.
Bono caused a stir in South Africa on Sunday after expressing support for the singing of an anti-apartheid struggle song that includes the lyrics "shoot the farmer". I do not support racism at all. I don't give a damn about skin. I believe that we are all South Africans and that we are all equal. I do not think Bono know what he have done.
He thinks there is nothing wrong with a song like that and he called it 'folk music'. FOLK MUSIC??? Is he insane?? He is going to fly back to Dublin soon and leave people with the seed he plant while he was here making money, and a lot of it. He don't know anything about our history (that is clear) or our country. People are suppose (a lot of people do) look up to him. And I am sure that many people value his opinion (sadly).

Sorry to say, I agree with Steve 100%

Where is God?
A lot of people ask the question :"Where is God in horrible times?" With horrible times I am not referring to losing your job or your car breaking down, I am referring to War and Natural disasters. Well, I guess everyone has their own opinion with regards to that question! All I can say is that God was there - he didn't turn off the TV or switch the phone to voice mail.
God gave man free will - named choice. Sometimes he have to silently stand by, watching, crying, waiting for someone to call His name. If you do not ask you will not receive and God's time isn't our time. It is good sometimes to take a step back and listen, do not say a word just listen. You will be surprised what you will learn in silence.
Tonight I have answered a very often asked question out of my own perspective. You are welcome to share with me yours.
Yours truly

Jy Is
Ek het geen rigting, want jy is my kompas
Ek het geen krag, want jy is my krag
Ek voel sonder hoop, want jy is my hoop
Ek voel dood, want jy is my lewe
Ek dwaal in die duiser, want jy is my lig
Ek leef in die nag, want jy is my son
Ek is leeg, want jy is die een wat my vul
Ek voel soos n swendelaar, want jy is my tuiste
Ek voel benoud, want jy is my suurstof
Ek voel koud, want jy is die vuur wat binne my brand
Ek voel alleen, want jy is nie hier nie
Ek het geen krag, want jy is my krag
Ek voel sonder hoop, want jy is my hoop
Ek voel dood, want jy is my lewe
Ek dwaal in die duiser, want jy is my lig
Ek leef in die nag, want jy is my son
Ek is leeg, want jy is die een wat my vul
Ek voel soos n swendelaar, want jy is my tuiste
Ek voel benoud, want jy is my suurstof
Ek voel koud, want jy is die vuur wat binne my brand
Ek voel alleen, want jy is nie hier nie
Is it Her?
When you close your eyes, is it her face you see
When you look into my eyes, is it her eyes you wish looking into
When you are alone- thinking, is it her you find hiding in your deepest thoughts
When you tell me that you love me, is it her you want to hear those words
When you close your eyes at night, is it her face that haunts your dreams
When you whisper sweet nothings in my ear, is it meant for her?
When you kiss my passionately, is it her lips you desire
When you make love to me, is it her you long for
When you touch me with tenderness, is it her skin you want to feel under your caressing fingertips
When you search the deepest corners of your heart, is it her you find there
Is it her you want to come home to
When you look into my eyes, is it her eyes you wish looking into
When you are alone- thinking, is it her you find hiding in your deepest thoughts
When you tell me that you love me, is it her you want to hear those words
When you close your eyes at night, is it her face that haunts your dreams
When you whisper sweet nothings in my ear, is it meant for her?
When you kiss my passionately, is it her lips you desire
When you make love to me, is it her you long for
When you touch me with tenderness, is it her skin you want to feel under your caressing fingertips
When you search the deepest corners of your heart, is it her you find there
Is it her you want to come home to
Addicted
You brought light into the darkness that was me
Like the sun you gave me warmth
Like a breeze you kept me cool
Like the rain nourishing the dry desert, your love nourished my hungry soul
You were me and I was you
We were one in the bodies of two
You became my knight in shining amour
You rescued my very existence with every touch
I lose control to the mere thought that you are mine
You are my oxygen, my breath
You are in my blood, under my skin
You imprisoned my heart, the key keeper
I am addicted and you are the drug that keeps me from dying
You are the sweet poison, destroying my resistance
You are the alcohol that leaves me dizzy
You are the medicine that kills all pain
Like the sun you gave me warmth
Like a breeze you kept me cool
Like the rain nourishing the dry desert, your love nourished my hungry soul
You were me and I was you
We were one in the bodies of two
You became my knight in shining amour
You rescued my very existence with every touch
I lose control to the mere thought that you are mine
You are my oxygen, my breath
You are in my blood, under my skin
You imprisoned my heart, the key keeper
I am addicted and you are the drug that keeps me from dying
You are the sweet poison, destroying my resistance
You are the alcohol that leaves me dizzy
You are the medicine that kills all pain
Dark Scent Of My Desire
Let the dark scent of my desire
Surround you
Arouse you
Intoxicate you
Fill you
Making you mine
Surrender in total submission
To the sweet taste of my darkness
It is the kind of darkness all dream of
Ache for
Long for
But so few can give
Step outside yourself and fall into me
Fall into my dark flame
That will set your deepest darkest needs on fire
Let my power consume you
Take you
Reducing your will to ashes
Leaving you standing free
Alive
Reborn
Mine
Just a thought
Sitting here, in my living room, I let my mind dwell into the future - MY future. I can't help but wonder where I am going to be in 10 year's time.... I know where I want to be, the question is: How am I going to get there?
When I look back in my past, not even way back, only 5 years, I can see how my live have changed. I am a beautiful daughter richer- she is 5 years old now!
So....I know that things CAN change, for the better of course! I just want to tell all the people out there that feels that they are in a dead spot in their lives at the moment that your live is your choice! No one else can take control of YOUR life! Only you! If you think about it, it is actually scary but yet comforting to know that.
Enjoy your weekend and remember: TAKE CONTROL!
