grandmother

Yep, I was supposed to start this version, xiii, with a photograph of her, my grandmother.

When I was at a funeral last week saturday, I recorded a song that was sung, the words were:

Modimo o re file sebakanyana le motsotso nyana fela.

Word.

  1. Your granny has some Jay-Z influence bling-bling ek se'. Let me findout if shes not sipping on some crystal or some crunk juice? No PunIntended!
    Your song is a bootleg version!
    Let me not be too abusive.
    I love your new site lots.
  2. Yeah, I knew I got something wrong, break down the correct version,,,
  3. I see a whole lot of you there -- in your Nkgono's eyes--
  4. you did good :-)
  5. love the green and purple. and the way she drinks her tea. you seem to pay a lot of attention to detail...
  6. Wow...you have a great eye - this picture is gorgeous. There's just something about old people...they make for such good pictures. Maybe it's cause their skin texture, the detail in their eyes you know that reddy, brownness...that they are indifferent about posing for a picture so when you capture any moment in their lives - it's always so genuine. Great picture indeed...wish I had a camera. Oh...I like the new look mara...don't take this the wrong way but don't you think the white is too bright? Like it's just so bright - but that's probably done on purpose huh...yah.
  7. ohhhhhhh, nice. Just spotted the changing colours. Nice touch indeed. There are so many bad looking sites out there - I reckon your assistance is needed. Are you in that line of work at all? Like if I wanted you to design a layout for a new mag (not online but will need a site I suppose, but I'm thinking design of actual magazine) - would you be able to do that?
  8. Just wanted to see what colour comes next. Hope this is not annoying.
  9. Ahhhhhhh, figured it out, different colour for different user huh. Nice!
  10. Was wrong. The red that I had picked up means...still being modified, so there are only two colours - purple and green. Ahhhh yes...I see I'm starting to lose my mind again.
  11. Hey, davinci, yeah, I am keen, send me mail, and we talk about it, neh? its lebogang.nkoane [at] gmail.com
