What colour is the wind? Does the wind actually have any colour? So as you can see this topic and questions actually confused me a bit.
It takes me back to the days of Pocahontas and her song “The Colours of the Wind” She’ll be singing “Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?” and all these streams of purples and tans and browns comes across the screen. That is literally what came to mind when I read the topic. Takes you back doesn't it.
Anyway, not to be side tracked about the goings on of Pocahontas, lets get back to the colours of the wind. I think each and every person has there own perception of what the colours of the wind could be and I doubt there could possibly be one right answer, unless we attempt to get scientific. I think its all in the imagination.
For me the colour of the wind changes every season: See below:
Summer: Crispy blue
Winter: Gray and dark
Autumn: Yellow and browns
Spring: Pinks and Purples.
And for me that’s what I can only imagine the colours of the wind could be.
So as you can see everyone has there own perceptions of what the colours of the wind can be, one just has to make use of one’s imagination tot truly see it.

IF I WAS THE BOSS..
If I was the boss!! Wow what a thought! Thinking about it alone gives me Goosebumps. So obviously you should know by now that this concept goes down very good with me! Wow you have no idea what I would do if I was a boss.
Firstly if I was a boss there would be quite a few things that would change in the normal workplace as we know it! Things definitely would not be the same if Kim Biggs was the boss! Well first thing that would change is salaries. I believe that those who work hard should be rewarded and that what you pay people is what you should expect to get. That is definitely something to live by!
Secondly I would change the work environment, no shouting, no screaming (believe me this is what you get in some work places, I should know). A work environment should be accommodating and you should want to be there. We do spend more time at work than any where else so why shouldn’t it accommodate to your needs. I know that this sounds a bit far fetched but it is very true.
The third thing that I would improve on in the workplace if I was the boss is Communication. COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION. I’ve repeated it so much time because it is just that important. Without the correct communication methods in place, things would be pretty chaotic wouldn’t it?
So basically if I were the boss, staff would be happier and more satisfied, they would get the respect that they deserve and the work would then be of a higher standard. Big Dreams, I know! Big Dreams!

SA Bands suck!
That sounds a bit harsh doesn’t it, especially when we have so much amazing talent on our doorstep! Don’t get me wrong there really is some worse for wear bands around South Africa, but really now did you hear some of the great South African bands lately, they will make anyone who has said the above statement eat their words!
South Africans too often compare the quality of our bands with the “Green Days” , “ Daughtry” and “ Cranberry’s” etc of the so called first world countries. If you were doing this all I have to say to you is WRONG MOVE. Obviously we can’t compare to these bands.
What is a bit irritating though is that South African bands just can’t be South African. On many occasions when hearing or seeing South African bands I get the tendency to just want to pick up the remote and change the channel. However there are many bands that’s just like a breath of fresh air and I think when people hear South African they have this stereotype in their head already of what to expect.
But with bands such as Freshly Ground, the Parlotones, Goldfish, Watershed etc etc etc, and believe me this list goes on, there is no way that any one can say that South African bands suck. Come on, we are being recognized on a music level internationally, doesn’t that say a lot! So I think that everyone thinking that SA bands suck should change their mindset and start SUPPORTING!
