Baboons


Spent Sunday drawing, and trying to watch the Moto GP and Superbike races that were just a nightmare thanks to the satellite reception. I feel like every step forward seems to be two back, the end of the month looms and you wonder how you make ends meet, and I am able to less and less every month, I just don’t know how much longer this recession, which I think is more like full blown depression can go on.
On a lighter note, I’m off today and I am at last getting my root canal finished, thank heavens two weeks of an ongoing battle has made me a grumpy fuck and today sees the end of that, a relief to everyone I’m sure. I am lucky with my teeth, they aren’t pretty but they a well kept so this came as a surprise, but alls well by 4pm today…
I just got a cool gift via Amazon, which I was taken aback by, I never bought anything, and I wasn’t expecting a gift, but there it was, so I collected it and my great friend Christian in Berlin sent me  “The Baboons”  Back Scratch, and its not to be mistaken with the other funkadelic band from the US by the same name, they are a awesome rockabilly band and this is an awesome cd. Check it out if you can find it.

Love and Happiness

At this time of year when everyone is reminded that being a human being is being kind and loving, forgiving and tolerant, I feel that it's all bullshit, this is not a state for the holidays, this should be a constant state and something we should strive towards in our everyday lives. I blogged about being a "mensch" and perhaps it's good to remind ourselves what it means to be one. what follows is that blog A while ago I mentioned being a “mensch” and I was not really clear on what it means. A good friend and client brought this in for me, it’s part of an article written by Charlotte Cohen, and it sums it up well. What is a honourable mensch It is a voice, and the understanding behind it. It is the eyes, and the intelligence behind them. It is the recognition that support is needed, and asked for, giving it And the kindness that lies behind all of that. It’s keeping quiet when one ought and speaking when one should and knowing the difference. It’s giving pr...

A little this and that

It’s been a while since my last post, but I’m not going to bore you with bullshit post every second day. I have been meaning to get some stuff out, but have refrained, but some stuff just has to come out. Firstly, I have plugged a restaurant called “Orinoco” in Bree street, great value and authentic South American food, I’m afraid to say, no longer, I took Nicci for dinner and two ridiculous portions of poorly cooked food, cost over R480-00, I’m sorry, but that’s just retarded, and had the food been of an epic standard, it would not have pissed me off so much, but this is just fucked up. I complained to the owner, and the best she could do was shrug her shoulders, well that’s blown it for me, they certainly will not see me there again, and I would suggest you stay away too. It is just amazing how the odd little magazine article and a little plug here and there can give people such an attitude, Bob said it best, “Be good to the people you meet on the way up, cause you’re b...

The World Fuck..... sorry I mean CUP

I'm Italian and I'm pissed at Italy going out of the world cup, as Italians we are just build that way when it comes to soccer, but right now I'm pissed! I'm pissed at a Mexican ref that's just an asshole, pissed that Suarez felt it necessary to bite someone, but most of all I'm pissed that a poes like Mario Balotelli gets to play in a world cup, when he has to be without doubt the biggest waste of space on the european continent, I just can't find the right negative superlatives to describe his performance on and off the field. I'm not even going to get into his performance on and off the field. That's the one and only world cup post from me....
