so the beautiful val and i just got back from a rad and timely botswana trip with good friends dreadlock mike and nancy the twin and also some friends of theirs (brent, zeldy, norm and kate) and have some incredible memories of a stunning, stunning place we were really spoilt with the animal sightings - elephant (including the smallest baby elephants i have ever seen), giraffe, wildebeest (including the lesser known pussybeest and the lonely [...]
so last nite the beautiful val and i flew to kwazulu natal where we met up with dreadlock mike and nancy who we are driving up to botswana with (but that's another post) and on the plane we got talking to stan who was a friendly-seeming guy sitting next to us [no CATFLAP MAN on this flight...] and got chatting cos we were sodukuing and his wife is an avid sodukuer [stan's wife, not CATFLAP [...]
so two nites ago we get a knock on our security complex apartment door at around 9.30pm and so being the nice friendly neighbourly guy i am i go and open it and it's not nice to call someone a weirdo on first impression so i feel unable to describe to you the person who was outside the door [strange, cos usually an unexpected knock that late at nite at our complex means they've pulled [...]
imagine this in badly drawn stick figures if you will: God and man (as in mankind/people) in harmonious relationship walking together in the garden, the place of creation, unified in relationship, God somehow receiving something from this engagement with His creation. something happens - man decides to choose self over obedience to God and relationship breaks down - we have the word 'sin' but really it is simply an indication of relationship gone wrong, breakdown [...]
what next? leaving the old people outside for the coyotes to finish them off...? sounds far fetched maybe, but i have just been thoroughly revolted by what i have just read [and i know in this day and age we can get mildly upset and tut tutty and each-to-their-own-device but maybe it's time for people to stand up and SHOUT WILDLY AGAINST THIS KIND OF FILTH...] and we need to draw a line... it started [...]

and by 'my' i mean nick black who lent me his hockey stick and bag after mine was savagely taken from somewhere probably (seems to be my trend) so anyways, the other day before a hockey match i was getting ready in the changerooms and by chance glanced down at my hockey stick bag and - kidding you notness taking place here by me of you - there is a little red circle near the [...]
very funny satirical clip [especially for old people like me who used to stand at the phone and dial] looking at old phones and the miracle of flight: check it out - Louis C.K. at his best
the other day i drove past a hairdressing place in claremont called Rapunzels hair studio and upon brief reflection i thort to myself, "that is a pretty awful name for a business - Rapunzel after all is the fairy-tale character who never cut her hair... ever... and you're gonna trust her to cut yours...?" so maybe you can pull in for a light colour tint or possibly even a dry perm (i don't even know [...]
so for the last little while the question "so when are you and the beautiful val having kids?" [and the shock, gasp, horror when we say we're not particularly planning to, ever, at the moment] has evolved into the question "so what are your plans for next year?" i've contemplated getting the answers to these questions tattoo'd onto my face but i just don't know if i can justify the expense [to anyone else] so [...]
