Can you believe it 2010. I feel this might be a milestone year for many of us. It certainly will be a big tester for South Africa as the world waits in great anticipation for footballs greatest stage to come alive in the streets of the “dark continent.
Many of you this week will be rejoining the workforce after a nice little break. Assuming clients, projects and employers ease you into the 9 to 5 I thought you might have a moment to check out this video.
It’s of a young, beautiful Ukrainian girl named Kseniya Simonova who has a brilliant talent, creating art in the sand. The young woman was the latest “Ukraine has got talent” winner and boy does she have talent. In this video she depicts a story of how World War II affected the people of Ukraine. I thought this might be a good way to put forward some inspiration for 2010 in a way that is not lame. Take what you will from this and if you take nothing from it then just enjoy the beauty of her work.
Amazingly after watching this video I did a bit of research and found out that the Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine, resulted in just over one in four of the population being killed, with 11 million recorded deaths out of a population of 42 million. And here we sit in a recession complaining about not having enough money to buy our Grand Cherokees and Louis Vitton bags.
Here at The Blind View we are also preparing for a big year ahead with some exciting changes and additions but more to come about all that a little later.
Exciting times
Happy 2010 people.

It's a pity that the other talent show (idols, x-factor) don't showcase such diverse talents and instead reproduce indistinguishable pop products.
