I am reminded of Cat Stevens : Another Saturday Night and I aint got nobody, I've got some money cause I just got paid. Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to, I'm in an awful way.
It is Friday night, and Peter actually have some Bucks lying around, waiting to be spent.
It has jus been one of those awful weeks. Monthend on a Monday (WTF) , noboby paying bills, didn't even had sushi this week. Screwed by one of my BEE associates (the wheel shall turn) , but this has become par for the course in this land of mine. It has now gotten to the point where you actually expects to be screwed, and if you are not, what a surprise. Actually screwed twice, one was just my own stupidity. Don't help someone, they will fuck you up the ass. For sure.
Staff started asking about bonuses. Bonus ? 26 % unemplyment? Recession looming? Credit scarce. Cash sought afetr. What do they not understand. Sometimes thinking to downsize even more. Run a cash business, no creditors, no HP's, just ticking over.
I am stubborn. I will not give away my life's work to some BEE imbecile who happens to know the fourth cousin of JZ and is so "well connected" that they cannot afford a cup of coffee for those endless coffee shop meetings. You don't do business in a coffee shop. You do business in your office.
Had a really nice friend over this week. Drinks etc. Stayed over a while. So chilled. Life can be good as well. The most kissable lips ever. Not on offer, but then again, try try try and I did. After my rewriting of baseball rules with my many Strikes, finally a Homerun.
Just this Friday night my spirit is a little broken. It was a massive week, with many decisions coming to the front, not to be postponed, but taken and executed. I had to tell a very old friend that his brilliant business idea is a pie in the sky. You don't get 100 Million rands for a dream. Broke his bubble, pulled the funding, hope the bridge is not burnt.
Had some quality family time, long lost brother appeared, family ties rekindled again, hope for the future. It was a memorable weekend thanks my Queen. And thanks for the wishes, Certainly did not expect the message, but appreciated you thinking of me.
Tomorrow is still far away. But already I am longing for the new morn, A new day, a new beginning. Tonight shall pass with the help of a few long drinks sipped slowly while listening to the extensive choir of frogs croacking away in unison. No other sounds emanating from the bushes, as if the whole place is listening in awe to the rhapsody playing itself out. Even the dogs stopped barking. Def Leppard's sounds barely discernable over the frogs.
And the sun shall set and the sun shall rise. Tomorrow will take care of tomorrow. Sleep, take me in your loving arms and let us float away on the wings of dreams.
Cheers
