Enough silence. The last time I blogged on this site it was about #SpeakZA, an initiative started by Sipho Hlongwane and amplified by the online community as a protest against Malema and his cronies trying to gag the media. Well it looks like the war has stepped up a few levels. And I have to […]

It’s time to #SpeakZA
For some time I have purposely not said anything about Malema. I think he gets wayyyy too much press as it is. He’s everywhere and I am sick of him and his utter stupidity in my PC, my TV and in my radio. So I kept quiet about him, not wanting to feed to his […]

If there is a god, I don’t want to spend eternity with him
My mom’s best friend had a really tough year in 2009, and it had nothing to do with the financial crisis. Her husband was dying of cancer.

Yay we’re all rich! Oh no wait, that’s just you guys
Tighten the belts! Batten down the hatches! Scream! Kick! Go mad! Seemingly everywhere you look, the cost of living is rocketing. Interest rate hikes, higher food prices and yup, petrol is jumping yet again next week (the consolation here is of course that while petrol is going up 18-24c, all the people who bought awful, […]

The office, it’s a groovy kinda love
I hate closed doors. Secrets happen behind them, people are talked about and decisions are made for others. That, of course, is why you have to have them. But too many of them? Well, they just bring a place down, man. It’s, like, all to do with some kind of hippie philosophy of bad vibes […]
