Hello and Welcome

This is my blog,... where I will, yeah, write about all the stuff that floats between my left ear and the right. Sometimes gets tagled up in the optic nerves and swings round the baser brain functions.

In short, all the crap I think about, wonder about, like, dislike, read, write, and generally just let verment between the neurons...

I'll write about my favourite books, favourite films (the infrequent ones I see) - shocking actually how few and far between they are. There won't be much reference to TV since, in South Africa, the so called underpriveleged now run the national broadcaster, promoting the dictatorship that is the government and trying very heard to plaster a veneer of civility on it all. Yeah, there is not much to watch on our public broadcaster. Discrimination is still the pinnacle of the broadcast... african languages are used without sub-titles, whilst the least bit of Afrikaans is used them there are sub-titles. Getting the idea that they are just.... Well fill this in yourself.

Life's Luxuries, Good Food, Great Wine and Better conversation.

Calitzdorp - Smoking Pipe

Today I had some time on my hands, and decided to check in on this website. I've bought a Afrika wood pipe from EbenHarts in 2008 and still smoke it. It's a heavy pipe. Solid in the hand. Not one you want to clamp down on though. Unless you like spending time in the dentist chair. It's with great joy and a little grump (hate the exchange rate) that I looked over the pipes on the site again. There are some seriously beautiful pipes here. Some, in fact, I don't think you'd want to smoke. I hope to soon see sold on all these pipes and a new batch of remarkable creations to sit and drool over. Sterkte met die pyp maak en ek hoop:  'hulle verkoop so lekker, want hulle rook so lekker.' cheap : 'via Blog this'

10 Ways To Hack Into Your Happy Brain Chemicals

10 Ways To Hack Into Your Happy Brain Chemicals Life gets busy. 2016 for us in South Africa is going to be tough. Emotional black mail and black mail in general is a socially acceptable way to deny some their constitutional rights. So take a read above and stick it to all those office clones that make your day hell. All those wannabes on the roads that can't drive to safe their lives (it's been one of those days). So, to quote Bobby McFarren: "Don't worry. Be Happy."
