Once upon a James
I’m trying to figure something out today. I read an article in a Saturday Mag once. It described how women and men see things in a different light, the way us girls like to analyse every word and gesture and nuance, and how a ‘white elephant’ to a guy is a ‘thing’ [...]

Permalance affluenza October 28, 2008

I was reading some old women’s magazine at the salon, i’m pretty sure it was a 2004 South African edition of True Love with Kerabo and Tau on the cover. It has some article about ‘new words’. It had things like
affluenza – stress induced by wanting other people’s money
emo – guitar based rockish music with [...]

The flirting game October 23, 2008

The hypothesis
Flirting is an admission of horizontal thought processes. Spherical interest is usually shown by non-geometric conversation.
Where horizontal means nginginary, spherical means 360 degrees with volume, and non-geometric means encompassing everything else.
CB-nitions
Geometry – the branch of CBnautics concerned with the properties and relations of points, lines, surfaces, gymnastics and gloves.
Sphere – an object that is [...]

Define hard work October 20, 2008

“I work hard to put bread on the table.”
Cliche.
But what really constitutes working hard? Usually the guys who said stuff like that in movies were dockworkers, factory men, construction people, or hustlers who constantly, literally, move around cracking deals and making money. Men from ‘that age’ where going to work meant you actually had to [...]

I’ learning to be brief
10 facts about mels
1. Mels are deep, and good with words. They think in symbols and images, and can find meaning in anything from electronics instructions to cotton wool. Only a mel can write a convincingly passionate love poem [or song, or make an epic drawing or picture] about [...]

Voicelift October 16, 2008

When a girl gets married, she loses a name. Or changes a name. Or gains a name. Depending on how you look at it. Some girls like to hyphenate, to have a foot in both worlds. Me, I’m old-fashioned. I believe in new beginnings, new initials. Besides, I’m still my father’s daughter, no matter what [...]

Kularing the ngingi
It’s been that kind of a weekend. Deep thoughts, deeper insights, and a long-overdue post on gymnastics. Now, a lot of guys complain that their women are on a ngingi diet. But I know more than a few girls who are quite big fans of gymnastics. I think it’s all the somersaulting and [...]

Serial monogamy
We all want to get into shape, to have that perfect body, to look like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie [though I still prefer Jeniffer Aniston…!] There’s lots of ways to do that – the scalpel, [avoiding] the kitchen, or the good old fashioned gym.
Getting motivated to gym isn’t very easy. Most people gather [...]

From somewhere in the archives October 16, 2008

One of the most important and frightening things a human being can do is to raise a child. In indigenous cultures, the pressure of child rearing was less. Children were reared by the community, and belonged to the community. There was a set establishment of rules, customs, taboos and systems to rely on. Some of [...]

Everyone hates their job – especially at 25! Why? Because it’s probably your first job, and probably not what you expected. All through your (school) life you knew you would grow up and be something, have a great job, make lots of money.
Then you get into the real world, study whatever career path you fell [...]
