the theme was a day in the life of me, and to a large extent this is what a regular day looks like: hanging out with my beautiful wife, looking deep and contemplative in many different ways and poses, messing around with technomology, being different in some way, playing some kind of sport, game or improv to the full [sometimes resulting in africa shaped injuries], appreciating bobblehead [or 3D] Hulk, taking time to worship God [...]
in Americaland the hockey stick is a symbol of a women's sport whereas in Africa it is the epitome of a fast-paced man's [and womens] astro field battle of skill, perseverance and chance-taking... I would call this a half-silhouette as the light comes brightly from the side giving a sense of the depth lurking behind this pose while concealing enough to keep you guessing as to what is really being thought about. [hint: [...]
so the new word doing the rounds which pretty much means cool, radical, brilliant, fantastic or an enthusiastic combination of those is the word 'toyoda' which is pronounced toe-yoda and not to be confused with the car of the similiar sounding name - so for example i scored two goals in my hockey game on wed night but the second one where i stopped the ball in the circle and lifted it over the keeper's [...]
i have a hypothesis which is like a zoologist student's big masters year essay on 4000-8000 lbs river-dwelling creatures that are responsible for more deaths per year than lions... but that's a different story... what i want to suggest to you today is that no-body in the world has the ability to make me angry "but brett, that just isn't true, i've watched you play hockey" "silence, in-fidelllll i kill you" thankx achmed, but i'll take [...]
well i guess officially you could say it was late afternoon or early evening, definitely not nite per say but yes, in a complete thrashing of western province cricket club ('hockey team' i should add otherwise it might look like an unfair match-up, oh wait it clearly was) 8 goals to 2, i scored the last (and i like to think, defining) goal of the match. and it was great. i think it was the [...]
so those of you who know me know that i use the word 'vibe' a lot noun: look at that vibe verb: let's vibe tonite adjective : the service was vibing last nite adverb: we played hockey vibedly pronoun: the sandwich is vibe the table... okay, well not yet, but any day now... i dig the word - it's a vibe anyways it is also the name of our junior youth group (grade 4 to [...]
i have a friend called Roy (or Conrad Roy) he is one of the new students who was in our church enGAGE this year and is now part of our leadership team for next year i really like Roy, for a number of reasons: he says ‘awesome’ a lot. now i don’t like it when people say ‘awesome’ a lot because i personally have reserved the word ‘awesome’ for God cos it seems a travesty [...]
My name is brett and i’m a whiner. “Hi Brett!” And it’s not cool. And i’m really trying to change, and it usually manifests in games [Settlers of Catan largely, occasionally Scrabble or Rage, sometimes hockey...]. And it’s usually justified situationally. For example Settlers last night which is a Risk-type (but much, much better) strategy game, where i started with a vengeance and everyone including myself thort i was going to dominate and then i [...]
