Its not a crush

Alright... Lastnight when I was passing time with Zone 14, waiting for Muvhango to show Rapulana's hand, I got thinking. There are certain people that I just have a fondness for. It's not that I have crushes on these famous people, nhe. They are just somehow special. These are people whom I find myself even when Im talking to God about some serious issues in the middle of the night, they would cross my mind and... you know normally when that happens, some faith-tight mzalwane would cast the demon.

Mina ke, I would start talking about them. Sometimes even end up with an Amen'less prayer.

Im just trying to say the extent of what I feel for these people that I do not necessarily know. I dont know if it is normal. White children grow up having imaginary friends sometimes. I do not have these particular people as my imaginary friends, nhe. I just lahv them, man.. There's just something about them that makes me just lahv them - Want good things to happen to them and I enjoy their work.

Here they are:

Number 1 spot: Khuli Chana

fav3

Okay, I just find myself totally unable to resist the guy's music. I watch the videos over and over again, pausing and rewinding. I cant even tell you how many times I pump the song "Konka" in a day. #toomuch

Personally, I think Khuli is going places. He is talented, humble, confident, he trusts himself and his talent - and if that package isnt complete, then I dont know what the critics want exactly.

fav9

Number 2: Rapulana Seiphemo

fun6

I have never lied about how excited I get over this man, and im not going to start today. I know that the characters he portrays on TV might not be him nhe, but there's something called seeing through the face. It's the way he plays the characters that I find myself going gaga about. Raps might not be South Africa's best actor, he might even be in a lesser league compared to aboFana Mokoena, nhe, But its the confidence, the swagg. He knows what he wants and he is one of those people that even are determined to get exactly that.

fav6

Three: Pastor Benjamin Dube

fav12

I lahv this man of God. Cookies or no cookies. Klaaps or no klaaps. He is annointed.

fav13

Four: Somizi Mhlongo

fav5

And finally... there is something about Somizi that has captured me since the Sarafina days. He is confident, he knows himself, he is comfortable in his skin, he does not apologise for being who he is, and he owns his space. That's enough.

So yha.

I like them, shem, and I always say I shall not apologise for it.

Does what Im saying make sense guys... do you have anyone that you feel the same way about? It's not like having a crush, nhe.. just having a special feeling about someone. I know Makisto's answer already: Lundi Tyamara. lol

LOL....i get whatchu saying...my list is just too long. And at the top of my head its cocasian brothers which worries me, but im just so fond of them...b4 i list mine. You loving Somizi Mhlongo reminded me of this friend of mine on FB who created a groupd called "we love Somizi Mhlongo" or something. Because of this new FB way of creating groups were you add people and dont give them an option to agree or not..my friend added me ke..so im suprised getting mails fron this groupd kanti im a member ya "we love Somizi Mhlongo"..,lol, had to tell myfriend gore she is forcing us gore we love Somizi .... even though...not that i hate him...im not feeling him the way you and her do..lol..my friends' crazy!

PS: While on Somizi, watching him on LNWK made me realise how much of a veteran he is. Someone who has earned his dues in this industry who deserves to be revered alongside bo Nthati Moshesh, baby Cele..the old school guys who started with bo Gibson Kente. I think he deserves more respect for the entertainemnet craft than bo Connie Masilo etc....yet somehow, untill that episode, i personally associated him with 3some owing largely to how the media portrays him today.....#just a thought....

Ohkay...so here are my guys... dont think there are galz but i hope so...coz its realy not a crush i agree, its just being too fond of them...

1. Green.arrow....Oliver Queen in Smallville (portrayed by justin hartley)..hmm hmm hmmmm...and when he is wearing his green suit, futuristic, richer and cooler version of Robin hood...hmmmmm i just die...i even have the poster of him in the suit...i use it as a screen saver but remove it when visitors come coz its just so Soooo...Coool...and sooo.......words fail me
PS: I cant wait for the Greenlantern movie later this year....yuuuuu Ryan Reynolds aother one of my fav people is the GL...oh myyy. So Green.arrow and the Greenlantern arent the same .... although somewhere they link...there is no GA movie,so GL will suffice...CANT WAIT!!!

Now that ive regrouped from the green.arrow kryptonite vernom*

2. its actually a gitl...from smallville...Alison Mack..playes Chloe sullivan. Well i love the character she plays more than her coz i dont catully know here that much...i love Chloe!!

3. This two guys from that awesum yet shortlived series Traveller.: Logan Marshall-Green who played Will, ..i was soo fond of him in the series,also in the OC...i just saw him in tha movie Brooklyn's finest this weekend and my heart skipped a beat, thats how he is one of them...and for him, ill watch his other series Blue what what...:).
And alsooo...Aaron Stanford he played Traveller in the series, and was Pyro in the X men movies....im just too fond of him, he is a great actor. I kinda class him with Shia labeouf...i think they are the future Russel Crowes of our future times. my opinion.

4. Then there is Lee thomson youngaka silverstone....Wayne Brady...Lorenzo Lamas...*thinking Mzanzi flavaaa*.......it used to be Zola...reaaly i was fond him shem but then...well..its over!,

This one is a crush...Omar Epps...:)

Mveleli Gqwede(Dr Love) and Kuli Roberts.they both awesome parents to their kids even with their unconventional over the top lifestyles. You can tell behind all that kraziness and drama lies very sincere,loving and caring individuals.

She was just so cool, playful, confident on & off those cameras. Shame when she gave me a DKNY gift voucher that was meant 4 her, thats when I became her fan. So I loved Vivica since then. I also have respect 4 Carol Bouwer & Basetsana.

23 Feb 2011 09:27

Ah, this is nice

I am still waiting for Ntando and Ringo to share the stage, I have much love for these two artists and believe that their show will be quite awesome. They can add Malik to the mix then I will be even more happier. Their sound makes me to go to far away places.

I also have a thing for Thembi Seete, her spirit and the way she dances. She is sooo beautiful as well, I just wish she could have a grown up voice thats all

Eish with the family I have I end up like you Carino. A prayer with no Amen but mina ndizithandela usis Khanyi Dlomo. When it was announced that she was preggies, I prayed for her to get a healthy and cute baby.

I also had love for the late Nana Coyote. I was so sad when I heard about his death. Ebendizoboza la tata. The way he used to sing and his dances!!! I would just smile every time I see him on TV. Luv this tayma & RIP my handsome.

Eva Mendez is one of the sistas I always dream of.

Bethunani i have love mna but i will only mention these top 3.

This is unfair....some ladies don't have boobs and Rapulana can certainly breastfeed with those boobs.

@GA - Yeah... A day with was awesome she add her own personal touch in everything. Even besides that DKNY gesture, because I had mine 2 begin with and she just felt I deserve all since that day was my day (if that was Sis Mercy Pakela - I was probably gonna b cheated off my voucher 2. Lol). She sent me a thank u email, & I found it when I got back 2 my apartment. Photos of that day & other small gifts came afterwards. So no wonder Im a huge fan, now. But eish wena, a day with Madea? I like the character, but no ways... Monique, yes would luv that.

Green.arrow
23 Feb 2011 12:49

lol...why you not wanting a day with Madea..lol, we'd be shooting anybody looking at us funny *ride or die*,..lol, i love Madea. Speaking of Monique, Jamie Fox does a killer impression of monique its ridiculous...lol.
But you remain the lucky fish for having a day with Vivica...i will like to have a day with her and we'd dance to "she's a bad mamma jamma" like she did in this movie i cant recall, thats a moment i always picture when im with her..:(...
