continuing the interview with local muso Ashton Gardner: what are your thorts/feelings when it comes to worship music? quite a general question but i imagine when someone hears 'worship music' they think 'ah the 30 minute music time in the church' - do you think it's bigger than that at all? what makes music worship-full? -You know Brett, that word is spelt ‘thoughts’. I have been waiting a long time to tell you that. I [...]
time for a new local muso to interview and for those of you who have never crossed his path you are missing it - let's get to know Ashton Gardner: so Ashton, i don't even know where i know you from - possibly meadowridge links? - but you are one of those guys it feels like i've always kinda known but not really - tell us, where are you these days and what are you [...]
not to be confused with 'can't i just enjoy this big thing first?' some people refuse to let go of stuff. and it kills them. some people it actually genuinely physically kills them, cos you can trace ulcers and other stress-related diseases and conditions to the unforgiveness and disappointments that they held onto for a considerable amount of their lives someone once said "holding onto unforgiveness is like drinking a cup of poison and hoping [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

'a theist believes in at least one god, but denies the existence of many gods' [the skeptic's dictionary] whereas an atheist denies the existence of god completely and 'at heist' is just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that's not important now... a theist and an atheist - so vastly different and yet the difference between them is nothing... or 'a space' to be more precise... [disclaimer: oh [...]
for they will be seen as human! i'm not sure why i was thinking about this today but i was driving back from dropping off our recycling (oh wait, it just hit me, never mind) and this thort came in to my head - i wish that i knew how to relate to handicapped people better when i was a little kid my folks used to take me to this place called the Avril Elizabeth [...]
or marrying the dreaded? i am leaving in an hour or so for the airport to head for durban where on sat i will be marrying dreadlocked mike and nancy the twin (just in case there is any confusion about the nicknames i have given these two, mike has dreads and nancy is a twin... smooth.) and i am so super amped - i have written my marriage licence test but i have yet to [...]
