I wanna be a rock star (I love this song)

Rock Star LyricsArtist(Band):Nickelback

I'm through with standing in line to the clubs
i'll never get inIt's like the bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out quite the way I want it to be(tell me what you want)
I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough for ten plus me(yeah,so what you need)
I'll need a, a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet(Been there done that)
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
And my own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between cher and James Dean is fine for me(So how ya gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
[CHORUS]'
Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blonde hair
and well..Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs So I can eat my meals for free(I have a quesadilla... on the house)
I'm gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to blow my money for me(So how ya gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair And change my name'
Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blonde hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary in today's who's who
We'll get you anythingwith that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial well..Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
I'm gonna sing those songs that offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills from a pez dispenser
Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip sync 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
Well we all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blonde hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary in today's who's who
We'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial well..
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

To be or not to be

The world was built as we see it by entrepreneurs. States, Nations, Companies and Organisations were built by visionary leaders and exceptional persons.

The initiatives taken by these people were supported by other people. Intrapreneurs, they help actualise the dreams and the aspirations of the Entrepreneurs.

But can we all be enterpreneurs. Are some of us destined to be intrapreneurs.

What do the know and have that makes them tick. what drvies them? vision, money, ideas, a cause, to help mankind, to do something extraodinary?

What do you have to have to be one? balls, brains, brawns or what?

What is the rate of success for entrepreneurs, for every one entrepreneur that succeded, how many failed?

Is it better to take a good well paying job than to strike out on your own?

Is "being on your own" entrepreneuship?

Is there something in the DNA of people that make then have an affinity for entrepreneurship?

What does timing and market opportunity have to do with it all?

I guess to be or not to be is what we all have to consider at some point in time.

Cha Cha.

Little Rich, Richie Richie

Walahiiiiiii you and I are better off rich than otherwise.

The rich neither have nor understand the pain of the poor, they don’t have their issues, concerns nor do the same things keep them awake at night.

The poor are hungry, the rich watch their diet?

The rich are concerned about family planning the poor can’t be bothered or believe the least they can do it maximize the gift of child bearing.

The rich go on vacation, the poor save their money otherwise never have enough to spend.

One term in the primary school of the rich pays for a life of time education for the poor.

The list of differences is endless.

My questions are, do they have all they want?

How do the rich get rich, how do they get to where they are?

What plays the major factor in their getting rich?

Did they always know they were going to be rich?

How do they spend their money, on who, on what, when do they spend their money?

I suppose we all would never support unethical approaches to getting rich but we would probably not mind the good effect and comfort riches bring.

The poor need the money of the rich, the rich need to help the poor.

If they don’t the effect of the poverty will eventually affect the rich.

Money is good, people who say it’s not, have neither seen nor felt the effect of it.

I want to be rich, only God knows what I would do with it when I get it. Welllllll.............

More than that I want to be influential, have good health and positively affect mankind, I would like to believe we all want the same. Cha Cha.

Really Scattered

My favourite subject is strategy. I believe the person or organisation with superior strategy wins the game, race or whatever.

What exactly is creativity? is it about something really nice or must it be about something weird, out of the ordinary and unusual?

We feed on assumptions, feelings, emotions, thoughts, opinions and ideas. Where does facts and reality come into place?

I am judgemental, I hate to think I am but I am. If otherwise how could I ever criticize what someone else thinks, does or says? I wonder.

Music, Music, Music. What do they say about it? Fuel for love, rhythm for life, weapon for battle, basis for unison? Or whatever...... I can’t do without it.

Are they over rated or under rated or what? Good, Love, Food, Church, Sex, family, Good Cars, Books, friends. Who knows?

Did I just say Sex being over rated or underrated? Well, Well.

What do the dead do? do they see us and look at us everyday or are they preoccupied with some other stuff?

How much sleep do we really need? 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 10 hours every day or what?

I guess I need some now. Cha Cha.

How busy do we really get?

Can’t believe I have thought about updating this blog for 2 weeks and I haven’t been able to. Why is that: is that I have been very busy (easiest excuse), others include maybe I don’t know the importance or value of a blog, maybe it’s not just priority for me, well I don’t know. It’s got to be something.
I cringe anytime I am about to say I have been busy, especially when trying to justify why I didn’t remember a particular persons birthday, why I forgot something very important etc
What comes to mind is, how busy is George Bush, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Bill Gates, The Pope, P Diddy and others. How dare I say busy in the presence of such eminent and high achieving people?
Where and how does working hard become working smart? Would there be a more effective and productive person if you put them in my shoes and on my job?
I suppose we all get a blank cheque of 24hours. What we spend it on, how we spend it and the value we get out of it is absolutely dependent on us.
Maybe a time management course might help, maybe not. Maybe it’s our bad practices, attitudes and behaviours. Well again maybe not.
I believe there is always a better and more effective way of doing things and getting things done. More value, better results, faster time to delivery and who knows maybe less effort.
Maybe being busy is an albatross we use at will. Whatever that means.
Now I need to get back to work. Until I get a faster and better approach to doing my work, I have to say I am very very busy.
Cha Cha
I have missed writing this blog. Hopefully I will do this tomorow, and Imight write about what drives me, what drives us and....what we drive..

The thing about new year resolutions and more!!!

okayyyy, thank God, it's a new year. 2008 to be precise.
What can we say but be glad and happy that we made it.
As usual i suppose we have all made our resolutions or something along those lines.
Stop drinking, reduce food intake, loose some weight, become more religious or spiritual, love my mother inlaw, hate my neighbours, pass acca etc
So what is it with making and breaking resolutions.
Does the dawn of new calendar year signify the begining of new things or is it our decisions and commitments that signify new beginings?
This my friend is my take on this.
If we wait till the begining of a new year or the end of an old year to make decisions and commitments, this will pass away as soon as the euphoria and excitement of the year goes (which happens to be between the 2nd and 15th of the month of january).
If you really want to change things or make a change then do it, forget about dates and nomenclatures. just do it (nikeeeee).

Do you go to church on new years eve or did u go this new years eve?
I am amazed at how hard people pray at the 12pm juncture. its like they expect the blessings of God to immediately come down at that point and more like they don,t plan to pray anymore during the new year.
Don't mind me, just mussinggggggg.

Anyways i will copy this from a blog I visit regularly (contranianconsulting.com), hope u guys like it and all the best in the new year.

Happy 2008
