.... they brought me to you

on Sunday, April 20, 2008
Just took a break from working and when I switched on the TV and The Sisterhood of Travelling Pants were playing. I know I am a guy and all that but that is one of the most realistic and emotionally satisfying movies that I have ever seen.

I have never cried so much during one movie like I did in that movie. I can relate to alot if not all the things that happen in that movie. A part in the movies that really hit me was the part where the one girl sits next to the one little girl that has lukeumia and tells her that the pants must work their magic. The little girls then looks at the girl sitting next to her and says: "They have worked their magic. They brought you to me..."

When that little girl said that I cried my little heart out... I am a very hard and emotionless person at times but when I do break down and cry you must know that either something is very wrong or something like that which happened in the movie happned to me.

I'm actually a big softie. I just have a hard and serious exterior. Deep down inside I am ordinary. Not the strong person with the big mouth that I pretend to be. In all honesty. I am such a shy person it's not even a joke. Over the phone and on MSN I have a big mouth and all that because the person I'm chatting to is not infront of me. But let me tell you this. Should that person be infront of me I would most probably only be sitting with a "bek vol tande".

I worry too much about what people think. I tend to be someone which everyone will like. At the end of the day you can't please everyone. That's why I will be myself from now. If you like me - good. If you don't - 2 words (fuck off).

I'm done pleasing people and being what they want me to be. I'm done with people taking advantage of me. From now on I'm going to be me.

Who am I?
Well I am Francois Botha. Born in Bloemfontein on the 4th of July 1987. Grew up in Cape town. I went to primary and high school in Bellville. Studied Information Systems: Software Development and I am currently working for a company in Rondebosch.

What makes me, me?
What makes me, me or what makes me tick is that I don't sit back and let life happen to me. I make life happen. I am a go-getter. Always want to learn new things. Meet new people. Explore the city (been highly unsuccessful thus far)... I have a unique sense of humour. To give you an idea of how unique my sense of humour is... Only 3 people get what I say when I make a joke.

What makes me different from the rest?
My ability to sum a person up in 5 minutes and know exactly what their intentions are with me.
I listen to people. I love to debate. If I believe something is right I will argue and try to get that point across by any means. I have a strong personality which often makes me clash with people at the office, house and in my personal life. I do what I want and don't like people telling me what to do.


Biggest regret/s in life?
1) Staying in a relationship even though it made me depressed
2) Studying what I studied.
3) Not listening to people
4) Being selfish
5) Not trusting people enough


Tips for future Mr Potential:
1) Be yourself
2) Be honest
3) Treat me with respect and you shall receive the same

That is the only requests from me...


Goals for this year and the future?
1) To get a degree in something other than IT
2) To re-discover who I am
3) To put myself first
4) Try and get out of Cape Town... Even if it is for a week..
5) Be happy
6) Be more considerate of other people
