I live in the wonderful and volatile city of Joburg in South Africa. Sometimes I get the urge to write stuff down. This is where it lives.

I just have to laugh!

Religion is a joke - but when it's not funny it just causes so much trouble doesn't it?

People think I'm an atheist because I don't believe in religion. Not true. I am a very spiritual person who believes in everybody being good and not harming others, karma etc.

So when the Pope put his foot in it... and then, like a self-fulfilling prophecy, some Muslims acted in that EXACT way, I had to laugh. People crack me up.

Come on everyone, just get over it! If you really have strong beliefs, then BELIEVE in them. Nothing anyone says should cause this much upset. Words mean nothing - actions speak volumes.

If you have NO idea what I'm on about - read this.

Great Lyrics... Part 8

Ok – it’s soppy and mushy and he was involved with Jessica Simpson but this is a really good song!

What's Left Of Me - Nick Lachey

Watch my life pass me by
In the rearview mirror
Pictures frozen in time
Are becoming clearer
I don't want to waste another day
Stuck in the shadow of my mistakes

Cause I want you
And I feel you
Crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger
Like a burning
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken
And I'm faded
I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can have what's left of me

I've been dying inside
Little by little
Nowhere to go
But going out of my mind
In endless circles
Running from my self until
You gave me a reason for standing still

It's falling faster
Barely breathing
Give me something
To believe in
Tell me it's not all in my head

Take what's left of this man
Make me whole once again

I've been dying inside you see
I'm going out of my mind
Out of my mind
I'm just running in circles all the time
Will you take what's left of me?
Just running in circles in my mind
Will you take what's left of me?

The other name for my other cat


Shika is simply "Stinky" - that's why we have to bath her.

Other names for my cat




My Winston has been called many things since he adopted me in November 2000.

For the longest time I'm sure he thought his name was "Stop it!" (and when he scratches on the cupboards at 4am he still gets called that... along with a spray of water!).

These are some of the other things he gets called these days:
"Tyson" - because he has a girly high-pitched meow (like Mike Tyson's voice).
"Piglet" - when he munches all his food and then gobbles up Shika's too.
"Happy Cat/Purry Monster" - when he purrs so loudly we think he might explode!
"Tiger/Viscious Thing" - when he attacks!
"Shnookums" - what I call him when I get home from work and have missed him all day.
"Blinky the Wonder Cat" - this is Justin's name for him for when he fights with Shika and she kicks him in the eye so hard he keeps blinking for days...

But mostly he's just my baby ;)

From Blogthings: What Personality Disorder are you?

Got this from Red...

You May Be a Bit Borderline...

Your mood swings make a roller coaster look tame!
When you're up, you're a little bit crazy...
And when you're down, your whole world is crashing
Scary thing is, these moods can change by the minute!

Great Lyrics... Part 7

I LOVE Georgie... am still a bit of a (not so) closeted Wham! fan. This song's fab for its super "it's really ok to be gay" lyrics...

An Easier Affair - George Michael

Here comes one for the ladies
For the ones who love me
To think I thought I could be some kind of family man
I told myself I was straight
But I shouldn’t have worried
‘Cos my Maker had a better plan for me

And I’m dancing with the freaks now
I'm havin’, I’m havin’ so much fun
What you sow is what you reap now
I’ll do my dance with everyone
I’ve been getting too much Sun
(Yes I’m dancin’ with the freaks now)
We’re havin’, we’re havin’ too much fun for them
Look who’s talking Guilty feet now…

Well let me tell you people
It’s an easier affair
Not living my life with other people on my mind
No, got nothing to hide from anyone
Yes, I’m walking on new air
Just living my life
Better believe I'm gonna get what’s mine
See I don’t have the time
For the haters

And all the time that I wasted
How careless of me
Too young and stupid to see
I put my life in their hands
(Gonna look for Cupid, man)
Oh, and I know that they want me to hate them
There’s no hurry
I’ll just have to be the bigger man

Dancin’ with the freaks now
I’m havin’, I’m havin’ so much fun
What you sow is what you reap now
I’ll do my dance with everyone
I’ve been getting too much Sun
If I turn the other cheek now
Would that be, would that be too much fun for them?
Look who’s talking
Guilty feet now…

Well let me tell you people
It’s an easier affair
Not livin’ my life with other people on my mind
No, got nothing to hide from anyone
‘Cos I’m walking on new air
Just living my life
Better believe I’m gonna get what’s mine
See I don’t have the time for the haters

Don’t let them tell you who you are is not enough
Don’t let them tell you that it’s wrong
Or that you won’t find love

Don’t let them use my life to put your future down
Don’t let them tell you that happiness can’t be found

For my life

Take it to the streets
There are stories you can keep
They’re just passing you by

Don’t let them tell you who you are is not enough
Don’t let them tell you that it’s wrong
Or that you won’t find love

Don’t let them use my life to put your future down
Don’t let them tell you that happiness can’t be found

The weather is FUKT!

Today is supposed to be the first day of Spring.

I am wearing a vest, stockings, socks, a t-shirt, 2 long sleeve shirts, boots, scarf, gloves and a trenchcoat! Pretty much what I wore in London last November.

Jeez!
