Album

in the moment feel that a cassette mix has. My response to that claim is that about 1/3 of the files contained on my personal playlists are either leaked or live recordings of unreleased material. In the same way you could go and buy a nice clean album on a cassette in the 90’s I can do the same online today, so why would I take time to include a common, and easily found file on a unique playlist? One of the comments Sheffield makes about why he likes a mix tape is that its a very active process…

It was about 1am and I was anything but tired. School had just ended a few days earlier, and I was only hours away from my first summer vacation. I was excited to spend the weekend with my best friend, Eleise, who lives six hours away up in Michigan. I was excited to see my favorite singer, Taylor Swift, live for the third time. I was excited to get out of Illinois and go back to a place that used to be so familiar to me, but now it’s just a place from the past. My bag was packed days before we…

- Why, Leeto? - Well, I thought maybe I... should have breakfast with Mangaliso on Friday before we leave. - You know, just to clear the air. - No. Give him time to cool off. I can't leave this hanging between us any longer. I was wondering if I could take the day off on Friday. Thing is, Magongwa and I are getting married on Friday at Home Affairs. Congratulations to both of you. Just come and fill in a form later. T-O-P-O-A. Onomatopoeia. I'm afraid, that is incorrect. I... A.…

all its glory sometimes isn't all what it seems to be. When some are happily married there are those who go through problems. Sam Smith is a natural born singer who started recording at the age of fifteen. To this point in time he has created many albums and in the future created hit hit song “I'm not the only one”. He was inspired to write this song because of an earlier relationship he was having with a man that ended (Moore). His music video depicts and unfaithful husband, and a heartbroken…

it his muscles where perfect, he wasn 't so buff that you 'd think he was on steroids but big enough to let you know he worked out regularly. I walked to him just soaking in his sexiness and trying to read his expression. He said, “You look so beautiful and I hope I don 't have to catch a case today,” I smiled and said, “thank you so much for everything and I think I 'm the one who 's going to catch a case today you look so sexy.” He grabbed my hand and we walked out the doors and into the…

I never knew love was like an I spy book. You have to look for it because sometimes it might just be with someone you never expected to know or feel that way about. Well this is my story of a victory loss. My game of love. Love was in the air. It was like every breath of air you took in; along you took the need of someone’s company. People say that February is the month of love, but if anything for me it didn’t start out like that. The day that I thought the boy of my dreams and the boy I had…

Edge of a Wood A Pair of Shoes “This is the road according to the map,” said Margaret. “I remember coming this way when I went to the timeshare presentation,” said Doreen. “Oh yes, you never did tell us how you got on there,” said Karen. “She told me,” said Margaret, realising that her tone may have been a little harsh so she continued with a smile, “I don’t think Doreen wants to talk about it.” “You’re right there, I definitely just want to forget all about that one.” “Can you at least tell me…

Once upon a time a little mucky green fish was born into a loving family. In fact they were very famous fish for their beauty. They sat upon the best coral colored reef, they were given the best fish food, and their water was always warmed from the big bright yellow sun. They were treated like royalty...Well that was before the little green fish was born. You see the other fish had never seen a fish like little Benny. His scales looked as if they had been scraped by a rough rock, his scales…

It Could Have Been Me There are many things I regret in my life that I have done at a young age because of negative peer pressure from people that I grew up with, people who I thought wanted what was best for me, family, ones who could have the same opportunities that I have now, but finally I received my wake-up call realizing that I wanted know part "I didn’t have heart for it" as he would say, in a joking manner. For my brother it wasn’t the case it was too late to turn back, it was too late…

In the beginning of the semester I entered class as a novice student. I knew my writing was okay, but I wanted it to get better. I feel as though writing is the only way I can make people sit and listen to what I have to say. However If they are unable to fully grasp my ideas or emotions in my words then really I am just as silenced as I am when I speak. Coming into class I knew I had a way I was used to writing but I did not know if my writing was truly effective. How could I be effective if I…
