(WK) Lets all get dronk!

Its friday and that means one thing and one thing only: all that alcoholic behaviour we have been surpressing all week can now be let loose. In the wise words of the Black Space -Age Digital Dream a.ka. Black Space -Age Digital Dream: if you are not going to get drunk in a nice way, don’t get drunk at all!!

(S) Bokke!

Kick ass Springboks. Kick lots of posterior ! Besides, England is about at useless as…umm…airbags on tri-cycles!…….. Whatever!. Anyway, go South Africa bring the trophy home!!!

(S) The Biggest Race Ever

This weekend’s race at Interlagos, Sao Paulo, Brazil, South Ameri- you get the idea, will be the biggest race of the season, if not ever! Three guys are in the running to win the World Driver’s Championship. Kimi Raikkonen is no doubt the under dog, with the biggest mountain to scale. With 7 points behind the champion leader he has the tallest order. However, he is still as cool as any Iceman should be and is approaching the race as he does with any race: to win!! I hope he does it and gets the Championship. I know it will be tough, but he can do it. Qualifying on Saturday will be crazy, as it usually is. I am quite beside myself with excitement! Then there is the race itself. Anyone who tries to predict what will happen is on crack! We will all just have to wait and see! What Alonso and Hamilton? I don’t care about them, that’s why I won’t mention them! (even though I just did!)

(M) RIP Lucky!!

Its really fecked up when you are driving to work and you hear that a music legend has been shot down dropping his kid off at home! I mean what kind of an idiot hijacker shoots Lucky Dube? If HE can get shot down, what about everyone else? You would think that once the knuckleheads realise that the person they are jacking is Lucky Dube they would at least put the guns away, you know? It’s a sad day!

 

I have never been a huge Lucky Dube fan or anything, but I always appreciated and respected what he did. I knew he was making a difference not just around here but all over the world. May he rest in peace!

 

This sh!t really needs to stop!!!

(P) Gavin-rine?

You know you are doing well for yourself when you get a chance to direct the Wolverine movie, or any movie at that scale. That’s exactly what Gavin Hood, the acclaimed director of the highly pirated, Oscar-winning flick, Tsotsi. More props to him! I am sure the movie will be rocking. Even if it isn’t I don’t care, Gavin still would have accomplished a lot. South African film makers are doing big things!

(M) Go HHP!!!

South African Hip Hop Mega Supa Dupa Star double h p has been nominated for a MTV Europe Music Award in the best African category. Yes that’s right, MTV thinks H is one of the best Africans, even better than Nelson!! Anyway, good on him. Freshly Ground were also nominated in the same category and won. So we hope history repeats itself and HHP gets the win. Homie has come a long way and he deserves it! So good on ya big guy! Bring back the win

(P) Three Hundred reasons why 300 rocks

I am in the process of completing the world’s most important task – watching and completly absorbing the movie 300 (more like 3000!) I am up to the point where our hero kicks the dumb Persian into the bottom-less pit because he called his chick a hoe! Ok not really, but he might as well have!! I am watching the DVD and yeah it really isn’t as cool as the soul-blowing experience it was watching it in the movie theatre. Nothing ever is I suppose. But it still is great.

Great action, great cgi, great story, great acting and great dolphins! What more could you ask for!!

(M)No one… else but me

Most music fans out there are friggin’ delusional . They actually believe the singer is to talking to them. Bloody nut cases. I am different because once in a while the artist is actually talking to me. The latest example of that is Alicia Keys with that new single of hers. No one in their right mind will deny that that is one the most impassioned songs they have ever heard! And the best thing about it, is that its directed directly at me! Thanks Alicia, i feel the same way too. No one will ever get in the way of how feel for you. Well maybe Amerie – we’ll see.

(S) Kimi and the gravel trap

The first real grin I got as I watched the Chinese Grand Prix this weekend was when Kimi was suddenly 0.8 seconds behind Lewis right before the round of pit stops. The grin evolved into a smile when Kimi finally passed Lewis. To be totally honest, it was more like drifting by him than anything else. But the fact that he was overtaking Lewis, gave me a fuzzy feeling inside. And then soon after that I did something i am quite embarassed about, in retrospect. i jumped up and down like a little girl when Lewis beached his car in the gravel.

Can you blame me? Here was the chance Kimi needed to win the championship. And what am I supposed to do? Feel sorry for Hamilton? I think not. I was happy. I was ecstatic. but I quickly told myself not celebrate in somebody else’s devastation. But then Kimi has been there too many damn times. Half of the time when Kimi is in line to win a race, the car disintegrates right before our eyes.

I can’t say I feel sorry for Lewis, because I really don’t. That’s because I feel great for Kimi. And this is sports. Some guy wins and all the other poor buggers lose. That’s it. You can’t have two winners. Then it wouldn’t be sports. It would be consensual sex!! I don’t care about the others. All that I am focussed on is my driver’s victory. Everything else secondary. That’s my single-minded and heartless approach to being a true fan. When Alonso screwed up in qualifying at Spa, guess who was jumping up and down like a little girl? That was also because I was freshly angry at McLaren using Ferarri data!

So I will be approaching the next race with that the same attitude. I don’t care what happens – as long as Kimi wins. That’s all that matters!!

(W) Annoyance number 275

The great thing about getting is a new camcorder is having it not work when you connecti it via firewire to your laptop. There is absolutely nothing better than that. That can really turn a sh!tty day in to the best you have ever had!!

The camera I am talking about is a panasonic nv-gs26. For some dumb reason, it doesn’t have firewire connectivity. So wtf is the firewire port for?? If that isn’t wrecknology i just don’t what is
