Title: When you die whose gonna care and how will they remember you
Post by: Naturelle on November 26, 2004, 11:38:00 PM

My colleague was just a clerk. He felt ill yesterday but wuldn´t go home.
This morning as he walked to hopsital, he called in sick from a public telephone.
He was turned away at 2 health institutions and by the time he got to the third. He was dead.

Death is an inevitable part of  living.
any minute, anyday you can just die. And yes you me, all of us we all gon die.
What do you want people to remember  about you?

im not as fuzzy and cute (I AM SO FAR FROM BEING A HOP SCOTCH CHICK... ok, i think i am sometimes a bit clueless) as that yellow bear thing, but its the closest i can get to yellow which reflects SUNSHINE...
I would´ve prefered a sunflower...

im so far from being the hopscotch chick too, but somehow that conjures up images of cuteness, only when i want to be ofcourse. neway, ja, i also wanted a sunflower...naturelle had the other flower (and its sooo her!), so the next for me was the chick who watched...and ultimately saw.
sunflowers are the ´high priestess of flowers´, followed closely by the elegance of the arum lily. i wont even get into how i feel bout the bhlakhroze hahaha!

Im a give you a cyber hug anyway, just coz i wanna...

you´re a poet tho.

question: did you let it go, or was it always just a hobby for you? or what is the story...

askin coz theres a career crisis looming...

Title: When you die whose gonna care and how will they remember you
Post by: Sunshine on November 27, 2004, 01:29:00 AM

I didn´t let it go, i´m like most idealistic people out there... the poems, the words, the voice, the songs, the whatever, should just be a part of life...

im amazed by how people out there like express themselves and play with words.

i am not a FEELAH SISTER... although I saw them at fest and the were really good!

I just dont know that words can bring in the bread...

The only words I know that bring in bread are academic words, and that´s what I do...!

i think for me, if my fear didn´t grip me so hard, at times i cant breathe yo, i´d try...

you know you need to give sumthin a try when e´time you see someone doin it your heart sinks you know.

worried that if i dont do this, i might never forgive myself, like never get over it - which would be swak hey.

So right now im marking students exams:

"In this essay it will be argued that the ´Mfecane´ is the incorrect way to describe state formation and upheavals in southern Africa during the 19th century..."


ETC ETC ETC...

but lucky for them, seeing as my intro to this forum wasn´t so nasty, and i feel very welcomed... i wont be an agitated marker!

ha ha...ok, no, its not all that subjective and up to my whims... it gets externaled anyway

Post by: BHLAKHROZE on November 27, 2004, 01:36:00 AM

i mean, i dont know, isnt that the challenge, to find a way to make it work? to make it pay?
to ´tilt the wheel till it turns´ type of thing?

on the real tho, i do know that artist are always strugglin...the status quo sucks!

You mean in all 464 POSTS you´ve had on this forum you´ve never pasted some words in a moment of emotionalism (like me!)

where´s your written stuff?

i hide it. very out there, but very shy...

oh, the eternal angst of the tortured soul.

i have to leave now sunshine, sadly, it been an absolute pleasure - wish i´d known you earlier, took alot of history in varsity.

my lecturer friend - has a GREAT ring to it. it would have been good bye anxiety...

sunshine, butterflies, blue skies and rainbows (u´r in good company) :-D

Before humans invented capitalism, when was there ever one artist in all human history, who ate from singing or poems or words.???

artists must work, plough, kill a cow hunt... and then when the king calls you or there´s like a gathering, you go sing coz you´re the one who can and everybody is entertained.

before these modern times, ART was just a part of life and you went and killed a rabbit to eat...
but because we invented money, some artists can somehow find a way to dedicate themselves to this stuff full time...

except for when the European artists used to have to find themselves a patron, then they could paint fulltime.

Its unrealistic... even the most ´deep´ artists are caught in the idea that their art HAS to be sold... they HAVE to live off it to make an impact...

just give it away for free... if you can make a living... Great, make a huge living. If you cant... put up a website and we´ll all go read it or download it...

or join forums like this...

especially the part about sunshine and blue skies...!

i wrote a song called "your love is like blue skies and water...so enduring and pure"

i love those images!

i only just started teaching...
so, i would have been of little use before this year!

what you wrote is so interesting, made me think. my thought process never went in that angle. thank you.

quite frankly i don´t care who cares n as far as being remembered... i don´t really care either...
but it´s only due to the mere fact that i´ll probab´ly be too dead to care about just about anything by then...

n that´s why i intend to live forever... so far so good :-]  :-]

yo sunshine, on the pleasant welcome, wait for it. There be sum rugged S.O.B.´s on this forum, (no offense the original Rugged) we can be the extremes of ourselves here, for we are faceless and safe.
As to professional artists thru history, ok ur the history lecturer, but didnt the position of court poet and minstrel exist in pre-crusade middle east. As far as I know these were revered posts in the rule of Saracen and Moorish Emperors and Kings.

As to my legacy on my death, my children will be my ultimate art, and what I teach them will be my reach into the eternity of my decendants. And what they cannot store in their heads will be my words and actions recorded by any means at my disposal.
Those that I luv will feel the intensity of my luv in remembrance in perpetuity.
My enemies will rejoice in my death, but will shiver as my image plagues their nightmares, until I confront them in the afterlife.

wi-oh wi-oh wi-oh wi-oh wi-oh wi-oh wi-oh wi-oh. so this is the ladies forum huh?
nice little story at the beginning there. wahwahwah so the medical aid in this country sucks. who really (besides female poets) gives a shit? the government sure as hell doesnt. and at this point in time nor do i.

ok, i´ll stick to the topic. i will be remember by my white neckerchef, black shirt and white shoes. i will be remembered to be the vigilante a**a**in, gentlemen style. i will be remembered to give spacevein a run for his huge amounts of money.

that felt good. my ego is on its way back

i wanna be remembered as the guy who ate as many rotting unshaven pussies and lost his senses of taste and smell due to the toxicity of decaying pussy. i wanna be remembered as the guy who offered to eat a bowl of sun-baked excrement of an AIDS victim with chronic diarrhoea, just to impress a girl and impress onto her juicy c*** the hardness of my cock.

nobody´s gonna care when i´m dead - and i don´t give a f*** that they won´t. :-]
