If loving Oprah is a crime, then go right ahead and lock me up!!!

Everyone thinks that they know her, everyone thinks they know what makes her tick, what makes her smile or cry. People think they know who she is, she is the Anti Christ they say, she’s so patronizing when talking to her guests, she speaks down to people, imposing, gentle, kind , compassionate…..So many things have been said about her, and I don’t want to be another praise singer of a woman who in fact DOES deserve all the praise that thrown upon her.
 Goddess Oprah

Il try not to go down that worn out road. I don’t know her personally (God knows I wish I did). I know some facts about her, yes, but not personally you know. But what I do know, “what I know for sure” is that Oprah Winfrey has woken me up, she has stirred my soul, she has been my spiritual sister (even though it was one sided), but she awakened me to my calling, my purpose too much cheese?. Oprah Winfrey is one of my all time favourite goddesses and I only have two, my mom, Nancy Sihlwayi and Oprah Winfrey.

Have so much work to do and it is getting late, hmm so quickly what I want to say is, I love this women, absolutely adore her. If you see me, doing big tings in the near future, you know who to thank!!!!

Brothers, cultivate yo seeds!

Askies, just thot I should mention m listening to Marsha Ambrosius’ debut album, Late Nights & Early Mornings....hmmm beautiful I say, she stayed true to what we know her for. Hahaha thought she’d go Gaga on us, everyone is tryna be different these days. So some good soulful sounds are welcome in this small word of mine. Anywho I am not qualified to give any form of album reviews, so I’ll sit down now. Ok wait before I do, I just want to say this and hope I’m not hanged for this, because I know in some quarters this would be considered blasphemous talk.

In her debut album she covers Lauryn Hill’s, Lose myself and oh dammit, oh hell! She ripped it! I mean she stepped up to Lauryn, who wouldv thought right? She made it more personal, more heart wrenching you know. Thats always good. Go get that album peeps:)

Anywho back to the reason for this post, I was looking through the The Sartorialist this evening. I came across this beautiful post of stay at home fathers. Yes, I kid you not, stay at home fathersJ. Now anyone that has an idea of what Im about, knows how much I love men who take care of their kids. I grew up in a single(mom) parent household. I never knew or saw what fatherly love is, so if you are a guy and you interested in me and you happen to have a child. Let me tell you, the easiest, safest and sure way to get me interested in you, is for you to love your offspring. I swear to you, then you are an angel in my eyes. You can do no wrong....I don’t give a flying hoot who says what, "Oh, Sully your boyfriend robbed a bank yesterday". Me," Well he takes care of his children, he is allowed to rob a bank". "Sully your boyfriend was caught lying to Mother Theresa". Me “Well he takes care of his babies, he can lie to the Pope if he wants to"....Hahahaha sorry I humour myself too. Anywho so ya men who love, appreciate and take care of the fruits of their loins, are my heroes...



ANGELS!!!!

Also wanted to post these specific pics, so I can giv you a rough idea of my robust build. Which will further show you, why I wanna be a jeans ambassador....a lot of junk in this trunk I tell ya:)

Keep Walking  T.o.a.D's !!!!!!!!!!!! 
WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

F.U. FAILURE!!!!

So apparently I omitted some valuable info from this blog....or so I’m told. Hmm so here it is, I’m also a hip hop/ rnb/ kwaito DJ. Although I prefer to say Im in the process of being one, friends tell me to stop being so hard on myself and call myself one, alright then:) So there it is, I play music in clubs and hopefully (fingers tightly crossed) I entertain people in the process.

 I love love love music. The same way books transported your Jane Austen’s, Shakespeare’s, Wole Soyinka’s, Zakes Mda’s, Fred Khumalo’s etc to far away and distant lands, that is what umculo (music) does to me. It has single handedly saved me from so much. Music has laced and completed many romantic, drunken, sad, sorrowful, ecstatic, joyous and exuberant nights. Simply put, it is my Clyde:)

So was feeling rather uninspired lately especially with regards to pursuing this DJ’n career of mine. And a few days ago I stumbled on a certain DJs blog, South African Hip Hop DJ, who goes by the name of Dimplez. Really great DJ, but what drew me towards him even more was his introspective nature and honesty. Very rare in this dog eat dog universe otherwise known as the entertainment industry.

This is what he had to say about saying F.U. to failure....

....and as if that wasnt enough he went on to kill me with the response he gave to a comment I wrote on his blog..

"Sully keep your head up. It is rough. You’re dealing with Ego’s and people that wanna protect their ground. Dudes hate competition. Play your heart out".

PLAY YOUR HEART OUT!
