Sigh...
I love South Africa so much.
Those of you that read my blog regularly would know that I am such a cry-baby. I kinda have happy tear syndrome. And at the moment I'm drinking a glass of SA wine - the best in the world - listening to Waka Waka and just drinking in the last few hours of an event that kinda changed my country's future.
They say we couldn't do it. They said we would not be ready.
We were. We are. Nkosi sikeleli africa ! (God bless Africa!)
We may not have the money or the surplus that most of you experience, but we have the heart and we have the soul. And for that reason I am proud. Sure we carry the debt. But you guys know what? Ubuntu! Money is material. What this meant to our nation is immeasurable!
This time for Africa, eh?!
I wish all of you could experience this time in my beautiful home country. It was such an amazing magical time filled with reconciliation and unity. Flags everywhere. Heck I can even now blow a vuvuzela! This was collectively the best month of my life. (Thanx to the special you too!)
United we stand Africa!
And I don't think we stood back for one moment! I am soooo deeply grateful for all the negative stereotypes that was broken!
It is being hailed as one of the best SWC ever to be hosted. Attendance wise it is only one of three world cups ever to have attendance numbers break the 3 million mark. Yet they said that no one would come.
There has been a lot of speculation about whether Madiba would hand over the cup. I know that he would be burning to do it. I hope he does. I know he wants to. If he does not there must be a very valid reason and the people should respect it. But come hand over time and he is there the country would erupt!
I don't even care who wins the final. Two underdog teams on the underdog continent...*smiles*
Viva Africa! The country of my scull!
PEACR LOVE AND HAPPY TEARS!!!!

PURPLE !!!
Kinda productive holiday day!
So I got up really late and decided I have to go renew my car license. So proud of myself for actually doing it in time lol! Then went to refill my ink and made an appointment at the day spa for a hair cut. Got one for 2morrow at 12.
On the way out of the computer shop (where I refilled the ink) I walked into my ex-priest lol! (Yeah, I think I should make a post about my wacky spiritual beliefs - just to kinda test ur openmindedness.) Nway, I kinda ignored him. He looked at me with empry eyes. Kinda reminded me of his empty promises.
Anyway from religion to sex. I am sooooOOoo PURPLE!!! FML!!! I totally have a hormone imbalance since my boy left. Bleh! I kinda have two willing boys lined up. But I dunno. It would only be sexytime. No emotion. And I don't know if I roll like that. Well I think my kinda-boy-who-left- would incourage me to get some. We kinda understand the situation.
I plan on making a post-SWC post as well. I am so proud of the way we hosted this event. I think we did AWESOME! But yeah, a lot of kewl statistic to give to ya. And they all said we couldn't do it ...
THIS TIME FOR AFRIXA !!!!
Peace, love and soccer balls!

New look
So yeah I tried out a new design. I think it still looks shit. But better than before. Lol!
So the world cup is turning out interesting. I was devastated with the exit of Ghana tonight. It would have meant so much for Africa if they won. Bleh!
Nway I'm so behind with blog reading that I should rather do that than waste time writing nonsense.
I am going out tomorrow night with some friends. So that will be nice since I haven't seen some of them for a while.
I want u guys to check out this kewl blog. He has made numerous posts, but he isn't getting a lot of traffic. I think it is worth ur time. Why not just pop in and decide for urself?
http://eye-m-bi.blogspot.com

Peace and love!!!

And now the end is near
Bleh!
My last post must have been very boring. Since i started blogging I have always received at least one comment lol!
Meh, this is prolly my fault since I am not posting that often...
Anywayz, the SWC is drawing closer with only two months left before kick off. I still owe Midnight a post about it so I will post some of it now.
Well firstly, i have read a lot about international concern regarding safety. Well I can't contradict statistics, but I do think they are making a lot of fuss about nothing.
I have had a lot of overseas friends coming here and then commenting on their departure on how they were so stressed about it and then after being here states that "down town New York is much worse". So there ya have it lolz. Take form it what u will.
All the structures are basically in place. Minour finishing touches to be made. Especially road wise. Accommodation is sorted. I am just concerned about public transport, but they claim that all will working smoothly. I am a sceptic on this account.
Otherwise, we have a lot of cynical people saying this is so stupid, annoying and will end in embarrassment. Maybe. But I think it will be great. I love the vibe and the cultural exchange. So I can't wait for it! I hope to attend a match!
I think even the big sceptics are in a way gonna have fun. I mean if u check what good effect such sport events have had on my country in the past... (think 1995 Rugby World Cup) ...although I don't think our national soccer team will match the Springboks' performance....NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT more like it hihi!
Going to the Apple store tomorrow to check out some hardware I want. So that will be kewl. And gonna go for a stroll in the waterfront. Then imma gonna have a braai tomorrow evening with some friends. CAN'T WAIT!
Peace, love

One giant victory for me' liver!
Bleh!
No predrinks! My face crumbles "like a bridge into a river"! Lolz!
So ya, spend a hour or so getting my home nice and clean and all atmospheric, with lights and candles and music and what not and now it was just cancelled, cause everyone is running late. It is no big deal, it's just I hate the let go of a mood I was getting into for a few hours lolz. Weirdo?! So now that I have this extra hour I thought I could make another quick post before I go out.
Nway I was observing all the subcultures in SA. Especially the non-hetro's. And out of all it was evidently clear to me that gay guys to have it the best. I wonder why this is. I don't know if this is a international phenomenon or not or if it is just here in SA. At least in the part of SA where I live.
I wonder why this is. I mean for a bi guy I also reap some of the benefits of this "finding". I was thinking, and humour me here, maybe straight girls' apparent liking in gay guys has much to do with this. It is almost as if they are the gateway drug for gay guys into the illusive world of heterosexuals. Lolz! Am I tripping here?
It is also very clear to me that there is a definite tendency for lesbians to be much more underground then gay guys. It is no strange sight to see two guys as a couple. but it is not very frequently that one spots a lesbian couple.
What makes it the more interesting is that there seems to be a definite separation between the world of lesbians and gays here. Of course at rallies and so it will not be like this, but for most part it seems that the lifestyles do not intertwine that much
I am betting that this is maybe very obvious to most of u reading this and u are going "Wft how do u think this is news to us?". Well, honestly, remember I am new to this and I am not an active player in the "gay community".
Or is this not like this where ya'll live?
Nway this was just a random thought that popped into my little head.
Love and peace,
xXx
P.S. I made a post earlier today so be sure not to look it over!

I am in a very peculiar mood. Have u ever felt as if u know exactly who u are? Tonight I can carry the world upon my shoulders...
I know why I am here.
I am here to help people. Not only poor people with love and money. I have the need to satisfy my thurst in arts.
I want to promote art in my country. Especially in my own culture.
If u have following me 4 me for a while, u will knoe that this is a majour step for me.
It feels more then right, it feels like my destiny.
That I have chosen.

I am.
I do not wish to leave SA. I want to make people proud of their heritage.
Something I never had. I want them to know.
And I wil fight for LGBT. Eventhough we have all the rights. It is not enough.
I cannot promise any dates. But in this writing I do commit.
This is it.
Peace and love.
Believe me...

Forever in the Pink City

I have been waiting some time to make this post. I am very very exited to share this with all of u since it is something that has to do with all of my readers. This will make for good reading, i promise:
South Africa's post-apartheid constitution was the first in the world to outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation, and on 1 December 2006 South Africa made history by becoming the fifth country in the world and first in Africa to legalise same-sex marriage. One year later an equal age of consent was achieved; after long and lengthy debate and a complete overhaul of sexual offences legislation, consent was gender-neutralized at 16. Same sex couples can also adopt children as of 2002 and even more, it is allowed to make use of artificial insemination if the couple so chooses.
So even though Apartheid was one of the darkest era's, in our country and the world, some good did come of it. Don't get me wrong. What happened in the past was filled with dispare. But this is the future that was made possible in every way, because of it. So I want to thank every person that fought in the struggle for their freedom. Not only did u achieve this, but u also saved a faceless white boy that u had no idea existed....AMANDLA!!!!!
I am adding this paragraph after the first publishing of this post. In reflection of a conversation i had with a fellow blogger who did not entirely react as I anticipated after reading this post. Do u guys see what I was trying to make u see? I know there are a lot of u that have to hide who u are. That have to live in fear. I mean just check what is happening in Uganda. (And no it cannot be written of as "only a third world country", cause I live in Africa and I have more rights then any person in any country in the world. For those of u that long to marry, have children, just to be acknowledged: THERE IS HOPE! That was the messege that I was trying to convey. Hope. For you reading this. Hope.
If this interests u, I am going to paste two links elaborating on this topic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_South_Africa
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_marriage_in_South_Africa
As always PEACE AND LOVE,

Tears are streaming down my face...cause atleast it doesn't use cap!
I wanted to do a post. Had this really great idea for one. And then as I started to type I drew a complete blank lol!
But nevertheless I still have something interesting to share with u.
As I have mentioned to a few of my online friends to their utter dismay:
MY INTERNET IS CAPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHOCK!
HORROR!
ANGUISH!
Now most of u are so spoiled u would prolly not even know what that means. To put it straight: We pay for a certain amount of data cap a month. I get bout max 3 gigs A MONTH and this is kinda expensive. Bout R500. (+/- $50)
So what does it really mean:
YouTube is a luxury.
(Any streaming for that matter - yes I know....I KNOW!!!!)
This sux so bad u have no idea! Just try to imagine it for one second. If I download the latest itunes (on a standard motnh), 1/20th of my monthly cap is used up. Hahah! I have roughly about 65mb cap per day for BOTH uploads and downloads.
Okay so it could be worse right?
No Internet?
O, yeah one more thing: the upload speed is about 400kbsp - *blushes*
There is no place like home, there's no place like home!
(And in my head I start humming: "In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight...)
FML!
Peace, love and happy surfing
xXx
