so the other day Julius Malema in a speech at the University of Johannesburg sings a song with the lyrics 'kill the boers (farmer), they are rapists' the next day an ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu (interviewed in his jail cell after being arrested for drunk driving) says the lyrics of the song has been quoted out of context - if you don't look at the song in its entirety, then you lose the meaning (cos [...]
ah so he’s at it again, my good fiend Julius Malema this time there’s rumours of him receiving a bunch of business tenders for his companies from the government. basically a case of you scratch my back, I fill your account and the initial comment from Mr Julius is that he is receiving no money except his salary. and then the newspaper had quoted his salary as being R20 000 and his only comment on [...]
yesterday i was at strand beach. and it was hot. very hot. in fact at one point in was standing by myself in the sea, watching over the kids from the township house we had taken there, and i thort to myself, “wow i am burning, with a capital ‘B’!” followed by the thort, ‘what a dumb saying? why do people do that? it’s [insert word] with a capital [insert first letter of word]’ because [...]
i just spoke to a woman called Sijabulile on the phone at the virgin Customer sCare desk concerning a money-being-owed-to-me-by-virgin issue and she was very friendly and professional. she checked my information, she understood the problem and assured me it was being taken care of. she even emailed the billing department to inquire as to why the payment had not gone through yet. she updated my email details and set me up for billing confirmation.

REALLY? like... ghah! i don't understand why the ANC tolerate him - to be honest [...]
so i read in the newspaper today before church (stocking up on caffeine and chocolate crouissant at the bp) that Jacob Zuma (our president) has fathered another child. i never used to like Zuma. i heard a lot of bad things about him and saw him involved in some criminal cases with various accusations and he made some infamously bad statements about showering preventing AIDS (after being head of some AIDS council or something) and [...]
so last year sometime the beautiful Valerie and myself decided to take a day out of the week and make it meat-free - and so we chose a Thursday for reasons i can't remember [no that doesn't mean on Thursdays we run down the streets giving away packs of bacon to people altho i can't see how they wouldn't appreciate it - the people i mean, not the bacons] and we encouraged people in our [...]

i don't understand chocolate - i know something about cocoa beans but that's about it - possibly a glass and a half of milk in certain brands and a handful of raiSINs in other overly disobedient and retarded versions - and a bunch about it liking to stick around and be an accessory to your body long after the eating date (friends with unbenefits?) and also that when it goes white it is old (if [...]
