Ah Jeepers...

Well, it was inevitable I guess... everyone around me has the flu at the moment, so I guess it was bound to get me. I'm going to try killing it though... although; I have a very sore throat and nothing to take for it at work. Ugh.

Well, I spent my entire weekend working again. At least I managed to get through two albums. I'll be taking those in for print today at around lunch time. Then tonight I'll finish editing the last one and get those in to print tomorrow.

My throat is so sore :(

Meet You There - Simple Plan Lyrics

Now you're gone,
I wonder why
You left me here,
I think about it on, and on,
and on, and on, and on, again.
I know you're never coming back,
I hope that you can hear me,
I'm waiting to hear from you..

Until i do,
You're gone away,
I'm left alone,
A part of me is gone,
And I'm not moving on,
So wait for me,
I know the day will come..

I'll meet you there,
No matter where life takes me to,
I'll meet you there,
And even if I need you here,
I'll meet you there.

I wish I could have told you,
The things I kept inside,
But now I guess its just too late.
So many things remind me of you,
I hope that you can hear me,
I miss you,
This is goodbye,
One last time..

You're gone away,
I'm left alone,
A part of me is gone,
And I'm not moving on,
So wait for me,
I know the day will come..

I'll meet you there,
No matter where life takes me to,
I'll meet you there,
And even if I need you here,
I'll meet you there,
No matter where life takes me to,
I'll meet you there,
And even if I need you here,
I'll meet you there.

I'll meet you there....

And where I go you'll be there with me,
Forever you'll be right here with me..

I'll meet you there,
No matter where life takes me to,
I'll meet you there,
And even if I need you here,
I'll meet you there,
No matter where life takes me..
I'll meet you there,
And even if I need you..
I'll meet you there...

I'll meet you there...
I'll meet you there..

I'd Do Anything - Simple Plan

Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting

And I wrote this letter in my head
'Cuz so many things were left unsaid
but now you're gone
And I can't think straight

This could be the one last chance
To make you understand

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cuz I know I won't forget you

Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of droping out of school
And leave this place to never come back

So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting

This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again
I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you nanana (...)
And I'd do anything for you

I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
'Cuz I know I won't forget you

Debbie & Kyle's Wedding...

It’s weddings like this that make you want to get married…

I’ve finally managed to get through Debbie & Kyle’s wedding photos. They ended up with a crap-load more than they should have, but I couldn’t help it. Their wedding was just so beautiful and so much fun that I went into happy-snapper mode.

I must be honest; I have very little faith in marriages. There are only a handful that I’ve seen work out the way they’re meant to, so when you see a couple like this get married it kind of gives you a reminder of what marriages are all about.

I found it both easy and difficult to edit their photos. Easy because they’re just such a good looking couple, and their wedding was just full of emotion and love and happiness. Difficult because I’d end up crying every 8 photos or so, because I can see how unbelievably happy they are and that’s very much the kind of happiness and love that I’m missing in my own life. But it’s all good.

I hope that they’re going to be happy with their album.

Musica sues pirate product supplier

BUSINESS DAY:

Consumer Industries Correspondent
MUSIC and gaming chain Musica has instituted legal proceedings against Dolphin Enterprises after being found guilty of selling pirated Sony Playstation products it had bought from the Durban-based company.

Musica was found guilty last week in the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court of selling counterfeit Sony Play-station 2 controllers and memory cards. The company was found to be negligent in not verifying the authenticity of the products. The magistrate found that it had "failed to take all reasonable steps to avoid engaging in the sale of counterfeit goods".

Sentencing was postponed to next month.

Musica's national game buyer told the court that SterKinekor did not have the exclusive rights to distribute Sony products nationwide.

However, Southern African Federation Against Copyright Theft (Safact) CE James Lennox claimed Dolphin conducted business out of a wooden Wendy house in a garden. He said this reflected the amount of attention Musica paid to the sourcing of its products. The charge against Musica was laid after Safact lodged a complaint against it.

National Prosecuting Au-thority spokeswoman Bulelwa Makeke said it was clear that Musica did not do a background check on Dolphin.

New Clicks, which owns Musica, said it believed the company had followed the correct procedures. CEO David Kneale said yesterday Musica believed it had followed due process in approving the credentials of the supplier, and trusted it to provide authentic product.

"The initial product purchased from Dolphin Enterprises was authentic Sony merchandise imported into the country. Some controllers and memory cards subsequently purchased turned out to be counterfeit."

Dolphin Enterprises has pleaded guilty and Musica will now sue the company and is awaiting a court date after instituting proceedings last October. With Sapa

Unbelievably Exhausted...

I'm starting a new diet, but before I can start it I had to go to the doctor for a check up, and go for blood tests. Seems simple enough doesn't it? HAH! Because of those two simple little things I've had one traumatic morning.

The trip to the doctor wasn't too bad, although my appointment was for 9am and I only got to see her at 9:30am. Then on my way out of the doctor, walking down the concrete driveway my ankle gave way and I hit the ground, hard. My knees and my left leg are full of roasties, and let me tell you it's flippen sore. What makes it worse is that there were people around that didn't even bother to ask if I was ok. The human race as a whole is disgusting. And to top it all off, I had to have a needle stuck in my arm. Needles, like spiders are my downfall. I am terrified of them... hence it's taken me the better part of 10 years to get to the point of finding out how much a tattoo would cost.

So I'm not a happy camper today... I feel drained from my morning. I think I'm going to skip gym and have an early night.

Cosatu Protest

The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) has warned of a "total shutdown" of all economic and public activity in KwaZulu-Natal as it embarks on a one-day nationwide stayaway on Wednesday to protest against the high cost of living.

Its Provincial Secretary, Zet Luzipo, said the federation would demonstrate against rising fuel costs, interest rates and electricity and food costs. He said the stayaway, which would include taxi associations, would be hard-hitting and bring major cities and towns to a standstill.

The stayaway comes amid escalating costs that have seen the petrol price increasing almost monthly to more than R10 a litre. "Cosatu has scheduled Wednesday as a day of unprecedented mass demonstration against the rising fuel costs, interest rates, electricity costs and food costs," Luzipo said.

"There shall be no public transport on that day since taxi associations and motorists will form part of the demonstration," said Luzipo. He said the stayaway would affect the criminal justice system, hospitals and clinics, and big marches would take place in Durban and Newcastle.

The Ed's Comment:
The drive to work was a bloody pleasant one this morning.
Quite frankly this isn't a South African problem, it's a global problem ya dumb shits. Get with the programme! The world is going to hell in a handbasket...

R1.74 & Muse

 

What can you buy for R1.74? It seems a rather random figure, doesn't it? Well for R1.74 you can send an sms via Vodacom to an Australian mobile. My phone bill is a tad sad at the moment. By the time I've really gotten to know this gorgeous guy I'll have spent enough money to be able to have flown there!

Dale is killing me with "Muse"... his latest musical obsession. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy them, but they're a tad melodramatic for me at the moment.

In other news I had a good meeting this morning, drank a Lindt hot chocolate with cream (so much for the diet) and am having second thoughts about the tattoo. The pain factor is starting to freak me out. *sigh*

And finally, the world is going to shit. I kid you not. We're all going to be lining up for food one of these days. Take it from someone who reads all the major SA newspapers... we're screwed!

I Can Wait Forever – Simple Plan

You look so beautiful today
When you're sitting there it's hard for me to look away
So i try to find the words that i could say
I know distance doesn't matter but you feel so far away
And I cant lie
Every time I leave my heart turns gray
And I want to come back home to see your face
And I
Cause I just cant take it

Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait
I can wait forever
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it wont stop bleeding
But I can wait
I can wait forever

You look so beautiful today
It's like every time I turn around I see your face
The thing I miss the most is waking up next to you
When I look into your eyes, I wish that I could stay
And I cant lie
Every time I leave my heart turns gray
And I want to come back home to see your face
And I
Cause I just cant take it

Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait
I can wait forever
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it wont stop bleeding
But I can wait
I can wait forever

I know it feels like forever
I guess that's just the price I gotta pay
But when I come back home to feel your touch
Makes it better
Till that day
Theres nothing else that I can do
And I just cant take it
I just cant take it

Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But i can wait
I can wait forever (I can wait forever)
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it wont stop bleeding
But I can wait
I can wait forever
I can wait forever
I can wait forever...
