them.

they move among us. little girls wearing pink dresses and matching pink bonnets who move around among us undetected. innocent-looking. some might say cute. i don't. but some might. always holding firmly on to the hand of a surrogate adult life-form clone creating the appearance of normalcy in their day-to-day meanderings as they move around from place to place always staring, subtly taking in information from their surrounding surroundings. occasionally, when data collecting has been [...]

hey, i just met you, and this is crazy, but could you please-look, after your baby…

my wife and i love children! other peoples! we love the bit where we get to give them back afterwards. and then return to our childrenless lair. [okay, it's not quite a lair, more an intentional community house in the inner city area of kensington, philadelphia... but still, no children living with us in the house at this particular point in time] so kind of like a choose-your-own-[children]-adventure of sorts - we get to decide [...]

read to

so yesterday i posted a very simple blog as a response to the wordpress challenge of the week which was a splash of colour [or 'color' if you're americanese] i found a picture of a splash of blue and posted that as the solitary post of the blog and then i gave it the title 'red' and then posted it at various times of the day with the following intros: do you believe everything you [...]

a stream of conscience-ness

crawling through the desert on my hands and knees, torn jeans clinging desperately to my legs, shirt mostly in tatters, hanging loosely off my shoulders... eyes darting to and fro, hoping to catch sight of, a quick glimpse, the hint of, a water source, river, stream, oasis of sorts... some type of cactus with juicy flesh waiting for me to discover in its hidden caverns the satiation for my current devastation, even temporary relief for [...]

what's the meta for?

one of my favourite random life statements that i made up years ago and that i unleash unwittingly [well, maybe a little wittingly] on the world every now and then is the one that goes, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it throw stones in glass houses." while it's true that i made it up, i didn't really give it a lot of thought until today, but if you give [...]

Self-OCCUPY'd [a belated processing of the Occupy Movement that i encountered face to face]

i don't know a crazy lot about politics, nor do i claim to. although i do try to keep on top of the daily/weekly goings on back home in South Africa as well as the major news events with daily visits to internet news sites like iafrica.com and bbc.com so that i have a general idea of what is going on in the world. so when the OCCUPY movement came along, i had some idea [...]

Weekly Writing Challenge: Mail it In

dear nigerian widow firstly, thank you. your mail came as a huge surprise to me. i really appreciated you writing the entire correspondence in caps as my eyesight is not what it used to be. having it all condensed together in one run-one-line paragraph saved me a lot of time while conveying the urgency of your news and the need for me to act quickly on it. your husband [what was his name again?] and [...]
