Breaking the Eclipse fever

I was the original fan, I loved the twilight series way before they came out as movies. So now that Twilight and New moon fever has passed, were faced with Eclipse fever. Heres my viewpoint :)

5 reasons i wouldn’t date Edward Cullen:
1.I am slightly mad and if he could read my mind i think he would kill me for the sake of humanity
2.Jasper would be better suited for me as he looks as if hes just come out of an asylum
3.I have a phobia of being watched in my sleep
4.He can play the piano better than me and I would be jealous of the competition
5.He would run away from me and no amount of stalking or chasing would enable me to find and catch him

5 reasons I wouldnt date Jacob Black:
1. When you think about it, that would be beastiality
2. He can turn into a doggie. Now that is cool. However I would not make out with my dog
3. Although his warmth would be nice in the winter, hed be an irritation in the summer. Like a walking heater
4. He would live all the way in La Push. I live in South africa. I think that may be an issue
5. In all honesty, his "buffness" isnt really appealing at all. Theres something about a walking brick wall that does not blow my coke can to smithereens.

Now isnt that refreshing? Love the story, hate the fan girls

World Cup Fever- Love or hate?

So there’s all this world cup crap. Millions spent when millions are actually needed. It was last night when i was making my usual "look at this rubbish" comments and my boyfriend said "do you have to be so damn cynical?" that i began to think, am i over thinking this? Should I be protesting or should I be sheeping along just like every other person in this country with a "live for the moment" mindset. Heres what I figure:

Cons of this World Cup thing

How much exactly does this world cup cost? R28 BILLION. BILLION!!! ITs costing our freaking country BILLIONS!!! (i will now go for a run to ease my anger before returning)
Do they not see? This stupid government i mean. How many are starving in our country? On average, 50 000 children a year. That’s only children, that discludes adults and animals. I’m not even going to include animals or adults in this.
Now, if we took this 28 billion that’s being spent on a month filled with people kicking a ball around and spent it on something far more important (such as all of those who are starving) can you imagine the difference it makes? South Africans need support from our government. Both in forms of food, and health care.
And no, Jacob Zuma, taking a shower is not going to solve the problem of aids. And do you not realise that pretty much the majority of our country don’t have access to showers let alone running water? Hmm. Think about that next time you degrade one of your many wives.
Okay, this is it for the cons as i could go on forever. *cough cough* crime *cough cough* what happens after the world cup *cough cough* human trafficking *cough cough* excuse me, i accidentally breathed in my food.

Pros of this World Cup thing

South Africa is supposedly a diverse country. However, those living in it know the unfortunate truth. With Apartheid shadowing over us permanently, it is nearly impossible to forget it and move on with life. Especially since younger generations such as my own have not experienced apartheid and do not understand why we should pay for our ancestors? Don’t get me wrong. I am completely against apartheid and all that comes along with it. I just believe that i did not do anything wrong. I don’t have, have never had and will not ever have anything against anyone of another race. This is one thing that the world cup has aided South Africa with. BAFANA BAFANA! There’s no "kaizer chiefs" or "Orlando pirates" There’s just Bafana Bafana. This unifies us. It doesn’t matter whether you’re black, white, Indian, Asian, were all one. We stand together as one team against the rest of the world. One thing i noticed yesterday when we celebrated the opening of the world cup was that driving through my area there was a buzz. A buzz that was shared throughout races. Everyone forgot their hatred and prejudice and came together as a country. This is something our country does in fact need.

So ill leave it up to you, The 2010 World Cup, Hosted by our own South Africa, Love it or Hate it?
