life : Brett Fish

a simple cartoon of the bible story of church

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 [...]

'raped' as a fun catch phrase, tweeting tragedy instead of assisting…

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 [...]

next year and not trying to walk on water

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 [...]

every time you shave a moustache dies

so someone sent me this band link with the line "hey dude, i didn't know you played bass" and if you watch the first ten seconds of the music video you might double take like every single person did in this house when "i" come round the corner - classic... but great title for a song anyways... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjPcW88sLCg

why i hate cars

cars are stupid - i can prove it - they have been used to kill people - drunk drivers in cars have recklessly taken thousands of innocent lives in our country alone - old cars get rusty and dangerous because people often can't afford to give them proper maintainence and take them off the road when they should go - don't get me started on woman drivers - or men drivers - in fact we [...]

still (theatre)sporting after all of these years

so this last saturday TheatreSports turned 17 – that’s right, cape town’s longest running show and too-often best kept secret has been running for 17 years, and i have been around for ten of them... we celebrated with a halloween themed birthday show in the little theatre opposite the intimate theatre where we perform every monday night at 8.30 (you should come!) – it was a bumper show with no less than 12 of our [...]

the highest form of chocolate

i read this t-shirt once that said "forget love, i want to fall in chocolate" - now while i disagree completely, because love is a pretty amazing thing, i do still like the idea of the possibility of one day falling into chocolate... mmmm cho-co-late [in best homer simpson impressioned voice] but until that happens, i thort it was time to share my secrets with the world - i like chocolate on occasion... or occasions... [...]

oncoming traffic and other near depth experiences

so ja, last nite we had a theatresports show at kalk bay which was all cool and delightful and a bunch of fun (except maybe the two quite morbid but particularly brilliant dramatic one minute challenge games we played - whole nother level) and then i started driving back home to the beautiful val as i do... when i came to a roadworks part of the road but with no one manning (or womenning) it [...]
