Conversations with a known Stranger

Hello, guess what?
I connected to you before I even knew you, years ago when I was still young.
We met on Oxford road, masked behind the smile of a sweet stranger.
I knew you for years to follow.
I wondered though, why the stranger was a part of my life story.

Hello, guess what?
You connected to me before you even knew me, years ago when you were still young.
We met at Rhodes, masked behind the smile of a sweet stranger.
You knew me for years to follow.
Did you wonder though, why the stranger was part of your life story?

Hello, I am Sindie.
What?
Hi, I am...
Wait, who are you?
I am...
No way!
Yes way, the world is such a small place.

Pleased to meet you.

Her Day: Mara Hruby

My latest fixation, Mara Hruby, has a voice that I cannot place in history. Like who do I compare her to? I have no idea, probably uncomparable. But if you can place her voice, go right ahead, and please do share with me where you place her. Her voice flows perfectly like melted gold. The 22 year old from Oakland, CA arrived in the music scene in 2010, and in 2011 released her debut album titled 'From Her Eyes".

Its a mixture of different songs from various well known artists that she has covered. Her mellow voice puts the distinction in these covers, as most of them are from male artists. She also has a vintage style umatched, as if she fell from the previous years. I look at the clothes she wears and wonder 'where the hell does this girl buy her clothes? does she even buy them?', and ofcourse I get no answers. She is beautiful, talented, has skill both in music and art crafts, she is young and has the world as her oyster and for her to explore. What she does with this chance to be an influential musician is up to her. I hope she makes it BIG!

Random Q&A

Q: What was the first original CD or music piece you bought with your own money? And why?

A: Thandiswa Mazwai - Zabalaza Double CD - It had always been an intention of mine that the first original piece of music I own be proudly South African. I think Thandiswa Mazwai at that point in time was the perfect choice. Though the CD had been out for some time already, I enjoyed her music and I guess I also identified with her as a Xhosa woman. This was in 2008, I had my first job and I had recently moved to Johannesburg. I do not usually buy much music, but when it hits me as much as Miss Mazwai's album did at that time, I then have to own the piece.

Just thinking...

The phrase "when doors to enter or knock on are non-existant, i create my own doors" has been constantly on my mind since the year began, and instead of trying to figure out why this has been so, I have been so busy and caught up in trying to make the most of what this year will bring. Maybe this is my motto for 2012, who knows. Nothing after all has to stay the same. But for now, the phrase is all that comes up in my mind everytime I think 'I am not supposed to be here'.

Definition...

The definition of (our) love lies not in worldly possessions, forgotten actions and heated arguments…

The definition of (our) love is evident in the fire that burns even when we are mountains apart and burns me, yet I keep coming back for more…

The definition of (our) love slides beyond clenched jaws, whitened knuckles and crumpled sheets….

The definition of (our) love is simply LOVE.

Lyricism

Thinking about You - Frank Ocean

A tornado flew around my room before you came
Excuse the mess it made, it usually doesn't rain
In Southern California, much like Arizona
My eyes don't shed tears, but, boy, they bawl

When I'm thinkin' 'bout you
(Ooh, no, no, no)
I've been thinkin' 'bout you
(You know, know, know)
I've been thinkin' 'bout you
Do you think about me still?
Do ya, do ya?

Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh, oooh)
Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh, oooh)

No, I don't like you, I just thought you were cool
Enough to kick it
Got a beach house I could sell you in Idaho
Since you think I don't love you, I just thought you were cute
That's why I kiss you
Got a fighter jet, I don't get fly it, though
I'm lyin' down thinkin' 'bout you


I've been thinkin' 'bout you
(Ooh, no, no, no)
I've been thinkin' 'bout you
(You know, know, know)
Do you think about me still?
Do ya, do ya?

Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh, oooh)
Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh, oooh)
Yes, of course
I remember, how could I forget?

How you feel?
And though you were my first time
A new feel
It won't ever get old, not in my soul
Not in my spirit, keep it alive
We'll go down this road
'Til it turns from color to black and white


Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh, oooh)
Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh, oooh)
