Hi, My Name is Pieter and I am a Addict

Heaven - Song by Julia Michaels (2018)

Critical reception

Christina Lee of Uproxx wrote that Michaels "manages to summarize the entire Fifty Shades franchise in just two lines: 'They say all good boys go to heaven / but bad boys bring heaven to you'". Sam Damshenas of Gay Times described it as a "hauntingly addictive track" in which "Julia reminisce on a past lover". Mike Nied of Idolator regarded the song as "a sparse and sexy ode to bad boys", writing that "it offers the budding superstar an opportunity to explore a moodier aesthetic". He felt the song of being a bit risky "considering her tendency toward contemplative bops like 'Issues,' but it more than pays off". He also found the song "dangerously addictive" and opined that it is "a little more in line with the brooding material from the franchise's earlier albums". He concluded his review by calling it "a bit of a sonic switch-up" from previous materials released from the soundtrack

Music video

The song's music video was released on February 6, 2018, and directed by Sophie Muller. In the visual, Michaels wanders around a kitchen inside an apartment, wearing a tailored suit, intercut with scenes of Michaels daydreaming half-dressed men dancing around and circling the room, and tasting ice cream from the fridge. By the end of the video, all of those men display their anger issues, echoing the "bad boys" mentioned in the song.

Letter to my Brother:

My kindest, best Little Brother - " I remember when we were still in the house, I always teased you by telling you that you are a "platkop" flathead. Now I still feel guilty and am sorry that I said that, but you're a man now with great success and the most wonderful person I have in my life. Thank you for the love and care you give our mother. I was jealous about your and my middle brother's relationship because I always feel left out.

I want to kindly ask you to become a non-active member of the Art Institution of an institution somewhere in South Africa. I did make a promise that I would pay the membership fee by the end of July because it was not in the budget last month. Please will you consider my request to be a passive member until I am ready to become an active member?

Your financial assistance will be of great pleasure, because as an artist I want to be around other artists and this environment makes it possible for me to do so, until I am strong enough.

Thank you, my dearest brother.

Pieter

Their Respond:

My Respond:

Pieter: "Hi (to the person x) how are you?

I made a posting on the social group, may I put that information on that group, or should I use another group?

The reason why I put it there is because the product is being designed and developed."

(Translation done by Google Translate.)

The Person X: "Hi Pieter ads are on the caring group.

All posts on the social group must be art-related.

You flood our group with your zeal.

People stop reading if it's too long.

Will still allow it today."

Pieter: "Thank you."

Pieter: "How many times a week can I do a posting."

Pieter: "Can you also let me know how many letters I may use per posting."

The Person X: "Just something art-related and not already up."

(Translation done by Google Translate.)

The Person X: "Just something art-related and not already up. It doesn't help if you bombard people with the same information over and over again."

Pieter: "Thank you, I understand now. May I do a posting on Monday evening for Tuesday?"

The Person X: "The .... group It is not a platform for advertising. Only for art exhibitions that our members participate in and workshops that our members will be interested in. Remember that it is an association that has the following category. Painter, Oil and Acrylic, "

(Translation done by Google Translate.)

The Person X: "The group This is not a platform for advertising. Just four art exhibitions in which our members have participated and workshops in which our members will be interested. Remember it's an association that has the following category. Painter, oil and acrylic, watercolor. Capture graphics and draw coasts, pottery. Glass, not craft. Photography and conceptual art."

You wonder why I write an email, I know I could WhatsApp you but it will take too long to type.

Anton's stepdad passed away this morning. He cried, and I was happy to be with him. I made him coffee this morning and told him he must say sorry to his mother.

Thursday 8 July 2024 at the Art Institution:

In the Yellow House, they call it you get the van X Room, and then you get the X room2, and then you get outside where people smoke weed.

I was outside when my dearest friend was high, and I also had the urge to indulge myself in weed, which I did not. Now, as an addict, I really feel I need a line. It is hard for a druggie to come to the point to say no to drugs, especially if the line is in front of you and you need it.

However, the weed triggers that feeling, and it is going to be hard to say no.

I phoned Suzie two weeks ago and was so excited to be a member of the Art Institution. I went that night. It was nice, the people were friendly, and it is people like me. I got home and phoned my beloved brother in England telling me I met a safe haven to meet people where it is safe for me, he was happy and willing to pay my membership fee.

He is a busy man and I told him I want to be a member of the Art Institution. He pays me every week so much money that I only have enough for petrol, food, and small expenses because otherwise, I spend it on drugs. He said if I ever use drugs again, he will stop his financial support, which pays for my laundry, food, medical aid, electricity, internet, phone, petrol, and my house bond, so I have to be careful. He is kind, and my mother was very upset to learn that I used drugs. They were very upset.

Now I don't know what I must tell my brother and mother what the problem is because I am afraid they will worry that I will start using drugs again if they know about the incident of the lady who smoked weed at the Art Institution during class time.

I remember the smell, I need help. Please, God, I am weak. I don't want to die so soon. My brother and my mother are all I have. Don't let me hurt them, please mighty God. Please take this thought away from me of using, and fall back as a druggie walking along the road with suicidal thoughts and horrible depression. Please God, because every time I am full of drugs, Anton and I fight, and then he hits me. What must I do?

We as artists have to stand up against physical and verbal violence and drug abuse. We have to fight for what is wrong and right. That is why I humbly want to have the privilege to be the President of the South Africa Society. To help people, not only artists but everyone, to fight against physical and verbal abuse, and drug abuse, which is a problem. Then I can go to my brother and my dear mother, telling them it is fine, don't worry. I have a dream, and they will then support, love, and trust me and my art. Because I was a druggie and have been rejected by everyone, but not my Mother and my Brother who I love.

UB40 - (I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You (Official Video HD Remastered)

What is the meaning of "Can't help falling in love"?

The core melody is instantly recognizable as the basis for “Can't Help Falling in Love.” However, this is not an innocent song about falling head over heels in love. It is about the fleeting nature of sexual infatuation and the pain that is left behind when one of the lovers moves on to something more exciting.03 Aug 2023 (Medium)

(I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You

Wise men say

"Only fools rush in"

But I can't help falling in love with you

Wise men say

"Only fools rush in"

But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay?

Would it be a sin?

I can't help falling in love with you

As a river flows

Gently to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things were meant to be

Take my hand

Take my whole life, too

I can't help falling in love with you

As a river flows

Gently to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things were meant to be

Take my hand

Take my whole life, too

I can't help falling in love with you

Prescribed Management Rule 30 within the Sectional Title Schemes Management Act Regulations says, "The body corporate must take all reasonable steps to ensure that a member or any other occupier of a section or exclusive use area does not-

(a) use the common property to unreasonably interfere with other persons

lawfully on the premises, in breach of section 13(1)(d) of the Act;

(b) use a section or exclusive use area to cause a nuisance, in breach of

section 13(1)(e) of the Act;"

The Balcony

Can the landlord allow you to tell what you can put on the balcony?

Steve Babiak - Please click the link: Quora

Normally, there is a written lease between landlord and tenant that documents various items that the landlord and tenant have agreed to follow. In the lease there could be something that restricts what can be placed on a balcony, and, since it should have been in the lease, both landlord and tenant agreed to that.

And sometimes these restrictions aren’t obvious to a tenant. One example would be with a wooden balcony: the landlord would probably prohibit the use of a grill on the wooden balcony floor, and the tenant might not at first understand why; the possibility of the grill causing the wood to catch fire does not always register with some tenants. Another example would be with a house that has vinyl siding or vinyl balcony railings; having a grill too close to the vinyl can cause the vinyl to melt and deform. Your lease might not have anything in it about the use of the balcony. However, the lease might have some wording that permits the landlord to make changes or updates to rules associated with the property by giving tenants a proper notification of such changes. So the landlord may be allowed to do so by something contained in the lease.

The Nature of the Balcony

Please click on the link Paddocks

There are only two options. The balcony is either going to form part of the owner’s section or form part of the common property. If it forms part of the common property, it may or may not be subject to exclusive use rights. The trustees can determine the nature of the balcony by inspecting the scheme’s sectional plan.

Red Sea crisis: What it takes to reroute the world's biggest cargo ships:

MSC Cruises Art Gallery on board on MSC Grandiosa dedicated to Damien Hirst and on MSC Virtuosa dedicated to Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.

Ships are sailing straight in the warzones in the Red Sea, which is why the cargo ships are being rerouted around Africa, so imports are going to cost a lot more money. Who is going to pay for that? About 12% of world trade moves through the Red Sea, which means more than $1 trillion (£790 billion). Now there are fears of price hikes and late deliveries that influence productivity.

Sectional Title appearance rules and what it means for owners:

Link: Stratfin says the following:

Many people buy into Community Schemes for the added benefit of a harmonious appearance with little individual effort. Let's explore what the act says.

Sectional title appearance rules can cause friction with the owners of a scheme; however, the first impression from the outside of a scheme and the overall aesthetic appeal of a property is of utmost importance. For most people, their home is the primary capital investment. It is therefore important that the property be maintained so that it can retain and grow in value. Many sectional title schemes are made up of apartments or townhouses. The body corporate should maintain a harmonious external appearance to ensure that the scheme remains a desirable investment for all owners and possible future property purchasers.

Private Property says the following:

Link: Can you run a business from a sectional title home?

04 May 2016

The sluggish economy and declining employment over the past few years have prompted an increasing number of people to start their own businesses to earn an income, and the latest available statistics indicate that at least 10% of South Africa’s working adults are now self-employed.

And, of course, most of these small or micro business owners can’t afford to rent an office, shop or manufacturing space, so their enterprises are almost by definition home-based,” says Andrew Schaefer, MD of national property management company, Trafalgar.

What is my Business about:

Art includes paintings, pencil drawings, sculptures, and clothing design.
It is not a walk-in shop where many people will make noise. The number of people will be around two to three per visit.

Examples of Sectional Title appearance rules:

Changes that could affect the harmonious external appearance of a scheme could include things like:

1. Painting the external walls of the scheme.
2. Furniture placed on the balcony.
3. Decorations or signs placed on the external walls of the scheme, which also include loose-standing decorations and artworks given an artistic sign.
4. Pot plants are placed on balconies and patios to be painted.
5. Washing lines are placed on balconies and patios.
6. Locking and security devices and screens placed on the external parts of doors or windows.
7. Free-standing outdoor Fireplaces or braais are placed on balconies and patios.

This is what Google says:

“It is clear from the Sectional Titles Act that a flat or townhouse is intended for residential use, and generally cannot be used as an office or place of business - unless the owners of every other unit in the scheme agree in writing to a change of use,” says Schaefer.04 May 2016

This is what I could find in the sectional Title Act:

My Proposal to the Body Corporate:

Display days:

Times:

During Covid,

2 late payments,

Good renting agency,

The interest of the owners and tenants at complex X was kept in mind with me as well, and I informed them so.

There were two incidents during the 15 years of renting the unit:

1: There was noise. An owner of the complex called me late in the evening and complained. I attended to the problem the next day at the agency.

2: There was unwanted behavior by Tenant X, and I was informed by the Body Corporate, and the agency attended to it. The tenant was warned.

These two incidents happened only in 15 years.

The payments were always made by my tenant except for two late payments, which means the agency I made use of was very thoughtful in selecting a tenant for them.

I always had people next to me who I helped and was friendly with. One was at my house early Sunday morning when they broke into the unit and stole his cell phone. I let him in my unit, gave him my phone to call the police and his family, and gave him something to drink to calm him.

In another incident with my friend X, I gave him my wifi usage for free. His bike was stolen outside the complex, and I told him if he had any problems, I would help him get where he wanted to be.

I gave it a try, and my income was R640 for two Sundays.

Artist: Pieter Lategan. Title: "The first Slip of my small gallery business from home. (Business still in development)."

No photos will be taken outside on the balcony.

No signage, no artwork in communal areas,

I only have one parking spot available inside my garage because there is not enough parking space, the complex is old and when it was developed, it was not kept in mind.

I have knowledge of a car that was stolen in front of the complex and I was self-attacked with my friend outside one Sunday evening with glass bottles, luckily no harm. My friend, who was 74 years old at the time, was very upset. The two men almost stole the car parked outside, so I will not suggest that my people park outside. I would rather let them park inside, with a maximum of 4 people allowed, as that is how many spaces a normal car occupies. No buses are allowed and no more than 3 people in my unit. Otherwise, they need to sit on the balcony at one of the two tables, each with 2 chairs.

Only signage, which will be inside showing out on the balcony, which I am going to stick on the window with the wording "please, no photos."

Then, I want to put 3 to 4 sculptures on the balcony to show people the artwork. They will come out of my unit, walk onto the balcony, view it, and then leave into my apartment.

Rember to ask my brother for money to pay Me X who needs to read it to see it is correct of the Body Corporate mine.
