Today my Oupa died

This morning just after 8 AM my grandfather passed away. The nurse said she came to serve him breakfast and he was still sleeping. Ten minutes later when she came back he was gone. Nobody was with him at the time, but it would seem he died in his sleep. He fought a long hard [...]

Day 21 → (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?

Heh. This is a tough one. I think it really depends on what the fight was about. If she had slept with Rudi…well, then that bitch can bleed to death on the side of the road. Short of that I think I would run to her aid. Rudi and I were having an intense fight [...]

Day 20 → Your views on drugs and alcohol.

I’m not a drinker. Really I’m not. I’ve been drunk only a handful of times in my life. I don’t like drinking large amounts of anything really, so I guess I’m just not cut out for it. As for drugs….well…I guess it’s no secret that I’ve experimented with various illegal substances. I’m very lucky that [...]

Day 19 → What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?

Whoever compiled this list of topics obviously doesn’t know what is polite to discuss and what is not I am proudly New Apostolic and really don’t care what anyone else has to say about that. I am indifferent about politics. I voted for the first time in 2009, despite qualifying previously. I guess I was [...]

Day 18 → Your views on gay marriage.

I really don’t understand what all the fuss is about. I have no problem with people that have a sexual orientation different to mine. It really is none of my business. As for them wanting to get married, why not? Just because they are attracted to the same gender doesn’t make them bad people or [...]

Day 17 → A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.

I don’t often read self-help books. I’ve tried reading self-help books and they bore me to DEATH, but recently an old aquaintance on Facebook probably got sick of my “I’m tiiiired” status updates and he mailed me the ‘Sleep Sense’ book. It is a very short book and it changed my views on letting Babyice [...]

Day 16 → Someone or something you definitely could live without.

Not a tough one. My boss and his negativity. I suppose he could be replaced by someone incompetent, but I doubt he could be replaced by someone who is worse than he is on his bad days. He does have his good days and when he isn’t being crapped on my his boss, then he [...]

Day 15 → Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.

This might sound weird, but carbohydrates. I did The Atkins diet for about 4 months (and lost 8kg). While it’s lovely being able to eat as much fat and meat as you want…it gets old. The smell of toast, the thought of butter melting into that toast…the smell of popcorn…it drove me nuts. I cannot [...]

Day 14 → A hero that has let you down. (letter)

Dear Oupa I haven’t ever really given anyone “hero” status in my life. The closest thing I’ve had to a hero is you. With everything you’ve done for me and everything you’ve meant to me and so many other people, perhaps “hero” is a fitting term. You’ve been a hero to me and to others. [...]

Day 13 → A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days. (write a letter)

Dear Alanis, Most of your fans left you after Jagged Little Pill and even though it was a pretty mainstream album something about your lyrics touched me. Listening to them made me feel like you understood things that were going on inside of me on a level other people don’t. I was very excited about [...]
