Beautiful pain


Yesterday was the warning, todays like the morning after. I was a fool yes, but get these wise words. Your world was torn in half, you wake in its wake to start the mourning process and rebuilding, you're still a work in progress. Today's a whole new chapter; it’s like an enormous asthma.

Thunderstorm has passed you; you weathered it and poked its eye out. With the thorn bush that you used to smell the roses. Stopped to inhale, can't even tell your nose is stuffed.

So focused on the bright side, then you floor the gas pedal. And hit the corner fast, the more asserted, never looking back. May hit the curb, but every day is a new learning curve, as you steer through life, sometimes you might not want to swerve. But you have to, to avert a disaster, lucky, no permanent damage. Because they hurt you so bad, it's like they murdered you. And threw dirt on your casket, but you've returned from the ashes. And that hurt that you have, you just converted to fuel. And do start burning the past.

You're so familiarized with what having to swallow this pill is like. It happens all the time; they take your heart and steal your life. And it's as though you feel you've died, because you've been killed inside. But yet you're still alive, which means you will survive. Although today you may weep cause you're weakened. And everything seems so bleak and hopeless, the light that you're seeking. It begins to seep in, that's the only thing keeping you from leaping off the deep end.

And I'm pulling for you to push through this feeling. And with a little time that should do the healing, and by tomorrow you may even feel so good that you're willing to forgive me even after all you been put through, this feeling of resilience is building. And the flames are burning quick as fire would through this building. You're sealed in, but you're fireproof flame retardant, you withstood it

And as you climb up to the roof you're just chilling, you look down.


Because you're so over 'me, you could put the heel of your foot through the ceiling.

Django & Firebase - A marriage of awesomeness

Requirements 1) Django (obviously) 2) Pyrebase (pip install pyrebase, you know the drill) So to give a better appreciation- I will first show you the HTML way then I'll proceed to show you how its done in Python. METHOD 1 : The HTML way Then you need to go to the firebase console. To setup a new project. After that you will see a web setup and you select that. Once selected you will see the config. It should be similar to this : Now that you have configured firebase, we now need to select the components which will be needed. depending on what you want for your app- you can now select the modules that you need. For us today, we will do the login authentication. Make sure you include firebase app first, so this is my screen: METHOD 2: Enter Python Open your dev environment and create a file named  pyrebase_settings within your django app folder.

Making money with the falling rand: Lessons from Zimbabwe

It is no secret that the rand is falling like there is no tomorrow. This year alone it has fallen by over 18%. And if you look closely, at the last 3 years- it has fallen by 35%! This is not neglecting the economic setup where the slightest thing leads to ‘ toi toi. ' This trend of continuous striking and pay rate increase bargains has created such a vicious cycle. Prices rise, people strike, economy starts going through stuff. And we back at square one. We all know for sure that this cycle is bad. Zimbabwe and South Africa might not be different soon, only difference being that Zimbabwe chased the farmers, South Africa is chasing stabilisation. (Maybe the paradox of thrift  (prompted by the large population) will save them! Hope so.) In Zimbabwe 2008, a lot of people made a lot of money from ‘burning money’. This was whereby people took advantage of the bank rate versus the ‘streets’ rate of forex. The streets rate for forex was lower than the bank rate. Problem wa...
