years ago a book called 'Velvet Elvis' came out by this new kid on the block, rob bell, and everyone was reading it and telling me it was the greatest book ever and blah blah blah... i eventually got hold of it [was going thru my phase of taking my time to rush to trending books] and read it and didn't particularly dig it all that much - it was ok and there were some [...]
some of you may remember that for my birthday this year, my beautiful wife Val took my blokarting which was a windsurfing meets go-karting on the beach extravaganza of much fun... and we got the whole deal for 50% off which was a huge bargain... basically how it happened was just before my birthday tbV discovered this rad site that has a special offer for every day - it started in Joburg and moved to [...]
last nite the beautiful Val and i went to go and have dinner with our friend bren who we had not seen for a long time which i was really looking forward to. when we got there he was busy prepping a pretty amazing spaghetti bolognaise (i could quite possibly eat that every day, yum.) and he mentioned that he had invited his friend angelique for dinner too. my initial thort was flip that's a [...]

normally i purposefully spell 'diary' as 'dairy' just to see if anyone will pick it up - either they don't or they're just being polite, but this time i thort i'd be adventurous and spell it correctly because it is part of a website name and you don't ever want to click on a website that sounds close to the website you're looking for... you don't EVER!!! anyways here is the new cartoon series my [...]
so friday nite there was a U2 concert or something, apparently.. you wouldn't know by being on facebook at all - hardly a person mentioned whether they were going or not going or hating everyone that was going and kept reminding them about it or throwing their Steve Hofmeyer (very pricey tickets) into the Jukskei river (my favourite one) in protest... and it's weird cos ever since i knew U2 were coming to South Africa [...]
