Update
I cant be called a blogger anymore coz blobbers actually blog and i haven’t in ages.
Some interesting shit has happened in the last few months.
Car meets concrete:
Take an Audi and a pavement at 2 am and throw them together and your life becomes a complete nightmare. Loser syndrome as never before.
Saturday night: Crashed car. Live. Have car towed. Get lift home on tow truck along with baby seat, pram and soft toys. Meet fiancé in passage carrying said items. Explain. Argue. Lose argument. Apologize. Sleep.
Monday: Insurance company sounds skeptical at story that resulted in damage to car.
Insurance company appoints former KGB secret policemen to investigate accident. Questioning ensues.
5 weeks later insurance company gives permission to fix car. Rapid weightless ceases, unfortunately.
Another month later and car is returned looking newer than new along with a financial surprise thats gonna take a while to stop stinging.
That and 2 stomach bugs and a bout of flu have meant i cant write my name never mind anything witty or remotely interesting...

An apple a day....
Got this little treat pushed into my hands 2 weeks ago in the Durban CBD. Why was i in the CBD walking so purposefully with a laptop? A facking large company i shall not name has a no parking for visitors policy, nice, especially when the closest parking was 4 blocks away..... Anyhow lets not wait any longer. Feast your eyes on this piece of marketing magic from one Proffessor (sic) Dumba:
A few things to note here, other than the glaringly obvious gems that litter his profile of services:
Proffessor Dumba decided he would not be happy at all with a menial doctors title, fuck that, he shot high! A Proffessor, although horribly misspell comes with so much more credibility for the, no doubt, extremely intelligent target market.
He's open all the time, good thing that considering the flocks of people who need help making more rounds during sex..... Rounds? WTF
Anyone who can help with diabetes and controlling early ejaculation deserves to be a Proffessor in my book!
He brings back your stolen stuff. This is a groundbreaker, is he the guy who stole my blue Golf in 2000 in Musgrave Road?
I have kindly left the Prof's contact details should anyone feel the need to further enlighten or entertain themselves.
My personal favorite has to be the subtle advertising of the printers who produced this little cracker. Freedom Printers you winners! Who wouldnt want to be associated with this incredible man. Co-branding at its best!

Morning Knobs
To the two knobs i call mates who found this blog eventually, well done. The one found it all his own with some great investigative work. The other took fukken ages and only after i told him about 5 times, admittedly he was a tad 'ammered when i divulged the name but still, sharpen up slapper.
Since the discovery coincided with a serious lack of creativity i haven’t blogged much and this has resulted in much unhappiness from the bored little pricks. Thus in order to fulfill their otherwise shity lives with a little quality writing i have decided to do a post. i just dont know what to write about.
I vomited at a bachelors last week?
I plan to vomit at the wedding?
I still don’t have a wedding plan for my own wedding but plenty of good intentions.
I dont have a set date for my wedding yet but im already shitting myself for the bachelors.
I am loving the following music at present:
- Fall out Boy
- The Fray
- Chemical Romance
- Staind
- Audioslave
I am loving the following other miscellaneous things:
- the lack of sweaty heat
- internet
- Cool Running in Fourways not because im a stoner or a trend buny but because no cops hang out between it and my house and of course due to the waitress' having that much loved "Deer in the headlights" look.
-My kid, who's fast becoming a talking and crawling monster.
-money, i have fack all of it at the moment thus i really would to learn to love it
-SuperM Strawberry milk
-Beer Shandy, am i gay?
I hate to be negative about anything, as the two knobs really need love and light in their lives but a really big Fuck You goes out to Telkom for screwing around with our telephone lines at the Saltmine here in Rivonia. I got less than two hours sleep because of your inefficient and idiotic service. Bring on Neotel! It cant really be any worse, can it?

Dear Ishaad,
Provantage Media would like to extend their sincerest apologies to Sheldean Human, the Human family and anyone else who has read the callous and thoughtless comments made by one of our staff members in an email entitled 'stop telling me to wear pink', sent out on 7 March 2007.
Provantage Media would like to categorically state that the views and opinion expressed by this individual in the email are in no way the views and opinion of the company. In expressing her views on this matter the person in question was acting in her personal capacity, entirely on her own accord. The severity of this matter has however been acknowledged by the company and has been dealt with in the appropriate internal manner by the Provantage Media board of directors.
Provantage Media is a company with strong family values and were devastated to hear of the senseless and gruesome acts that befell Sheldean Human.
Provantage Media send their deepest condolences to the Human family and everyone else affected by this tragedy. Provantage Media are proud South Africans and are always willing to show their support in this country's fight against crime. Provantage Media were also very proud participants in the show of solidarity that took place across the country on Friday 9 March for Sheldean Human and will continue to show our support in any future initiatives.

Subject: Stop telling me to wear pink!
Please everyone stop emailing me and telling me to wear pink on Friday in memory of some poor sod who was killed or lost or stolen or WHATEVER!
I don't really give a shyte about poor old Sheldy Weldy who was a victim of crime in our country - we are ALL victims of crime in this country and all of us wearing pink is the most useless idea I've ever heard of in my life to fight crime. What on EARTH is wearing PINK going to do to make this country a better place???
Is a criminal going to skip over the people with pink shirts?
Stop wasting everyone's time and when you think of an idea that will actually make a difference share it with your family, your friends don't actually care.
Thank you

My 2 cents worth
I think Paul Harris is a f*cken hero. He had the balls to try and do something to stop crime. A lot more than anyone else i have heard of!
There i have said it.
On another note, due to the fact that i now so many world leaders read blogs:
Mr Mbeki,
Good day, i trust this letter finds you and your family well.
As a true patriot and incredibly passionate South African it pains me to see so many of my countrymen and women being effected by crime. Crime is scaring me to the point that i feel guilty towards my newborn daughter for not looking at options beyond the borders of the country i love. A part of me will die if i have to leave SA, is that a big part to sacrifice versus one of my families lives? People are dying sir, your people.
Your people are crying for your help and leadership against this massive challenge.
History will judge all of us on what we do to stop the killing of innocent mothers, children and brothers.
Please don’t let your inactivity tarnish all our lives.
Please feel free to pop a quick response in the comments section below.
Big up
Billy
P.S: If you could talk to Bob about the whole economic issue up north i would appreciate it.

Good shit!
My old man beat cancer! Got the news today from the oncologist!
As my dad put it: If it dont pay rent its got to get the fuck out! Not the standard response you expect from someone who has endured chemo but then again my dad's not a normal guy.
What else is up?
I believe SA is on the verge of a massive public backlash to the governments denial of our crime problems. I have it on good authority that big business is about to start throwing some big toys out of the cot. The murder of David Rattray is going to push a few people closer to revolt against what has become a far to easy to accept crime infested pit.
My daughters the bomb! She is cuter by the day and i am falling more and more in love with her. We started her on "real" food on saturday. Its a milestone! It was also hilarious, imagine having something new in your mouth after 5 months of milk! (Keep it clean people!)
Trying to plan a wedding is turning into a mission of note, that and its f'ing expensive! As soon as photographers/ florists/ caterers here its a wedding they get so excited you can literally hear the piggy bank swelling! When dreams and budget come head to head its gonna get messy!
Later all,
Billy
