there are lots and lots of reasons but i've decided every now and then to celebrate by highlighting one of them... so today my beautiful wife [aka valerie slash tbV] decided she needed to go thru cupboards and stuff and get rid of crap. my response, "yes, let's get rid of crap, yay." her response was "hey, can we offer this stuff to Churien, the lady who comes and helps us clean our house once [...]
i have a saying that 'people tend towards stupid' and generally life (and smokers flinging cigarette butts out of car windows) continues to prove me correct on this one... another prime example of this seems to be the mono-dimensional thort patterns of pedestrians in stellenbosch who will be walking along the pavement, possibly talking to a friend or messaging on their phone or vibing by themself and then they come to a road intersection and [...]
my interview with local-born muso nick groves continues... Q:In the one track i listened to i'm pretty sure i heard some white-man-rap? guest artist or mister nick groves branching out? and where'd that come from? [i was secretly pretty impressed] A: :) ...I've always enjoyed poetry - mostly at high school - song writing flows out of that but rap is the modern day poem. (After all - it an abbreviation for Rhythm And Poetry). [...]
i am privileged to be friends with a lot of really talented people, especially in the area of music, and was recently inspired to write a series of blogs that showcase some of these people and their talent so that more people can hear what they are producing - this will take the form of a number of interviews with links provided so that you can go and check them out and first up is [...]
so a very small bunch of us take part in these dream league teams from time to time but it would be rad if for the world cup we had a bit of a bigger league - the game is free and what's on offer between us is bragging rights and so if you would like to play send me your email address (brettfish@hotmail.com) and i will send you an invite once we've set up [...]
okay i've posted quite a bit today already so those 5 of you who subscribe and are getting notification emails must really be hating... but this one i couldn't resist, and i have been fairly quiet in recent days (i think) let's get this straight to begin with - this is a hypothetical blog - we don't have a baby and in fact we don't particularly want one right now and with the beautiful val's [...]
so the new word doing the rounds which pretty much means cool, radical, brilliant, fantastic or an enthusiastic combination of those is the word 'toyoda' which is pronounced toe-yoda and not to be confused with the car of the similiar sounding name - so for example i scored two goals in my hockey game on wed night but the second one where i stopped the ball in the circle and lifted it over the keeper's [...]
i came across this article about barack obama's personal faith and the unsurprising statement that it is the call to look after 'the least of these' [matthew 25, sheep and goats parable] that keeps him focused... very cool... excerpt from article below - link to full article and clip here 'President Barack Obama gave an unusually personal speech about his religious faith on Thursday, saying that "it is the biblical injunction to serve the least [...]
so i really want to punt this site again - think my beautiful wife valerie put me on to it - it's called common prayer and it basically has like a prayer devotion for the day so usually a bit of an extract of some significant story (today was on Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her seat on the bus in the states which ignited the whole civil rights movement) and then a [...]
so recently i ran a series of repeat blog posts about how to love your woman better and someone made a request for how to do the loving of your man better and so the beautiful val has taken the challenge and here is the first one - please check it out and respond... http://valanderson.wordpress.com/2011/02/02/how-to-love-your-man-better-just-love-him
