So the other day i posted this post about my Grinchiness [or lack thereof] which highlighted that it is not so much Christmas that i don’t like, but how crazy over-the-top consumeristic it is, which in the face of so many people living without in the world, feels pretty horrific. […]
Another Wednesday, another Hashtag game… although this was not just another hashtag game. It was really interesting how this one played out… RSA Min of Warts [@Stevens947] played the co-host role and we even had a co-co-host in the incredible Kesha Tedder [@KeshaTedder] who i have an online ongoing “nemesis battle” with, and it was a whole lot of crazy fun.

i love this picture of my buddy Rob [who died just over a week ago from cancer] and everything it expresses – carefree, full of life, plus the symbolism of running off into the distance is not lost on me. But i miss him a lot and it’s only been just over a week. Only? Yeah, something like that. And i think words are my processor so this is really for me, but you’re welcome to [...]

They claimed [...]

i have a gift. i call it the gift of small audience. There was a time in Cape Town a few years ago when i was one of the 5 or 6 speakers youth groups and Christian school groups would call on for talks and camps and it felt really good - like i had huge opportunity to make a difference - to impact hundreds of young people across Cape Town and beyond as the [...]
Not too long ago i shared a list of 10 Things i struggle to get my mind around... This was quite a varied lists of topics and included such items as pineapple on pizza, litter [special mention to cigarette butts out car windows], people's confusion with regards to four way stops, recent Adam Sandler movies [bonus cameo by Will Ferrell], the 'joke' insult, make-your-best-friend-look-and-act-like-a-tit bachelor party vibes, the difference between adopted children and real children, [...]
