Battle Of The Sexes: A One-Sided Battle?

For the review of a blog I decided to check out the battle of the sexes blog.

A first look at the blog it looked dull with the writing standing alone looking like an essay that was waiting to be read. The way that the articles was written was alright but I felt that they didn’t follow the title of the course “I write what I like, I blog what I like” however it was good effort

The name of the blog . Battle of the sexes would imply a struggle between the male and the female in order to prove a superiority a bragging rights over the other .In this blog with a name like that there is no male representation which does not correspond with the name. This means that this battle of the sexes is a one sided battle and it doesn’t serve any justice to the name.

I do however like the journalistic approach they bought to stories but it would’ve been better if there perhaps had been a description on the side of the blog on what they were all about. The writers of the blog sounded professional and got their points across and they cannot be faulted for that.

In the end battle of the sexes is an alright blog but I had the sense that they did just what had to be done as in their latest stories there are a lack of pictures but in the beginning there seemed to be more. A decent blog but could have been a touch better

Disturbing The Peace

The Scene : High Street

Time:20h00

Objects: Vuvuzela!!!

Objective: Disturb The Peace


Reason : Preservation of the DP (Eish!!!)




I decided on this mission because at the time it seemed to be the most daring because who knows what could happen anything could have happened

I did this on a Monday Night very sober and sombre quit cold and decided that i would disturb Grahamstown on the sides where i could run if sh*t hit the fan.

30 seconds began i started blowing my instrument i went on for a while and while i was on 23 seconds i heard a door unlocking and the next thing that happened was....

MISSION ABORTED!!!!
Though the mission was objectively accomplished after my sprint i had an adrenalin rush, and it actually felt good to feel the rush of danger

So to my objective it was still
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED ANYWAYS!!

The Powerful Oprah: Music To Their Ears

I spilt tea on myself at an epiphany i had after a friend of mine asked “You know what i saw on Oprah?”(with a smile). I casually switched of the lights on that attempted enlightenment and with my own polite smile i replied “Hell No!” and continued on my way while maintaining a thought that gave birth to my opinion. Powerful Oprah means music to their ears as they hang on to her every word, pause, sneeze and fart. They clap giving a standing ovation like it’s the greatest thing they have ever heard apparently they are spiritually stimulated by this woman. All I see is mental penetration an example of mind control.”They” is all the viewers of Oprah Winfrey’s show and my reason for claiming mind control can be justified by some bizarre incidents on the Oprah show. In 2003 she had audience members do beyonce’s booty-hop; a 2006 episode had her showing her fascination in describing and analysing “poop” and finally recently in May 2009 Oprah was able to cause a riot at KFC with what they call an “overwhelming response”. The power exhibited by her is scary and while she is a positive role model to many which is respectable the passive yet controlling aspect she has on the minds of her viewers is scary. While the viewers have the freedom of choice the way she does things is clever to such an extent that she makes the viewer think that they are making their own decisions.

Jackson’s ghost to make AMA’s disappear

Michael Jackson being nominated for an American Music Award for 2009(http://abc.go.com/shows/american-music-awards/nominations) from the grave is not in the spirit of recognizing of achievements that award shows were made for. The reasoning of giving him the award is not per the criteria of such an award show. It is true that many mourned Jackson’s death on June 25th.He is a legend; commonly known as “The King Of Pop” a title he has earned however his death is not a good enough reason to give him an AMA nomination and probable awards. The AMA criteria for awards is: Record Sales and Radio Airplay. While you can give Jackson Ticks here but if Jackson can get nominated because he has died and his sales have soured why not nominate Elvis or Bob Marley in previous years . Michael Jackson has plenty of AMA’s but he hasn’t released a full LP since 2001’s “Invincible” other exceptions would be his compilation; 2003’s “Number One’s” and the re-issued 25th Anniversary Of “Thriller” in 2007.Im expecting Jackson to have a clean sweep come November 22nd beating out 2009’s deserving artists like Eminem, Lady Gaga, T.I, Maxwell ,The Black Eyed Pea’s who have all moved mountains with their 2009 offerings doing this very much alive. To sum it up this decision is as pointless as a blunt pencil that lacks definition in it’s scribble.

DA SIP OF TEA

ICE went a little too hard on HOVE but that doesn't mean he is completely off.Looking at Jay-Z's legacy he has given you three classic albums that come to mind.Reasonable Doubt,The Blueprint & the Classic The Black Album.

In our Poll from the followers it seems the people are undecided with the half sayin "Crazy Old Fool Should Retire" 42% & the other half sayin Blueprint 3 "is da S.H.I.T" 42%; with the remainder say "Better Luck next time,Jigga"12%.

As Tea i find myself goin towards "Crazy Old Fool Should Retire" . Hove's album lacks the hunger of a young up & comer or an old dog tryin to learn new tricks it's just the same old HOVE.
I gotta say up to track 6 the album is a decent listen and would be for any Jigga fan out there and then 11 & 14 for me personally but one common thing i have noticed is nobody likes the whole album which is rare thing for a Jay-Z album.

The blueprint 3 is a good attempt at running with the big dogs in music but with so much money and business ventures what could JIGGA talk about. Other than Death's of Auto Tune(D.O.A) & New York(Empire State Of Mind) & Daddy's Goin Hard(Venus vs Mars) and that track where The Game thought Jigga dissed him (What We Talkin About) .Jay-Z has nothing else that he could contribute to the minds of our everlasting.To all his fans ride out with him he might prove me wrong but don't wait to long you might come back to reality on foot.

Jay-Z should consider writing self help books much like 50 Cent's 50th law or even LL Cool j's Training Regime book or even freestyle tips or somethin but Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 just proves one thing. "Should have Faded to Black!" Sorry Hove.

What Kind of blogger am I (Tea - The Becoming)

g09n2920 sihle ntuli
Welcome to Da S.H.I.T(Sugar-Honey.Ice.Tea)name is Tea;Ice or hot however you come at me.Some of the most life changing conversations come over a cup(or can) of tea offering a quench of thirst ,change of body temperature and perspective.The life without different perspectives is dull and uninteresting hence why the perfect average is found lying on the corridors of uncertainty while we moonwalk through them. I'm here to make you think hard about what i'm saying. Im here to make these words either slap you around or massage your points. My point is enlightenment whether iced or hot but still tea. Salutations to you let's talk about things over a cup(or can) of tea as i am the enlightening one.

As a follower of this blog you will either be swayed by sugar-honey or ice or be enlightened by my convo's. I do accept defeat but i do not lie down for the floor is dirty;i say let the minds sweat from battle with oozing juices of intellect giving birth to the rose of unique perspectives.

The blog name is an acronym which in my eyes is a metaphor for not accepting things at face value hence our different perspectives. My counter parts are first year journalism students much like myself. Sugar-honey & Ice have their views and i have mine just because; If the world shared eyes we would have been better of blind.Viewing the world It is clear to see that an emotional rollercoaster is before us. Here at Da S.H.I.T we ask ourselves our views on this as we look with diverse eyes and pupils unique in becoming learners of sight as our readers learn with us. I've seen media masterstrokes and flops while i give props for the attempt I define the flaw in my way while ice is just ICE! and sugar honey is well...sugar honey. All I say is let the sweet and the bitter battle away the voice of reason always pulls through.

As our focus is entertainment commentary the reader is open to an experience of a pyramid while at the center they can accept what they wish. If our readers were to come out with unique perspectives we would have enlightened them thus giving them a voice to verbally dig themselves out of the standard state of mind.

In closing i say let the tea run down your throat with heat from your chest leading you in the journey of enlightenment. Readers should come through because this is the only place on the globe where three is not a crowd it's Da S.H.I.T.
