True Story

Guess what I almost hit while I was reversing out of my parking?


- A carguard.

5 Years

I've been with my company 5 years today... you'd think this is something worth acknowledging. But most likely knowing the people I deal with, it's just something no one's noticed the date to be. Haha.... I haven't heard anything... in fact.... today, I haven't heard much about anything from anyone.. I guess there are times when people will take note of the work and effort and time one gives to the things they live for and want. The pain and struggle, but the reward out of what you hold valuable. I hope that regardless of the day or time and place, that the recognition of my value to that person or team of people is there even when it's not said...

Some food for thought...

Wanna know what I want?

Beware Monday the 16th

Friday the 13th arrived on Monday the 16th. Joy. Whilst getting ready for work I noticed, when I took my phone of of 'charge', that it had in fact not charged for one second during the night and I had one bar left. Really???? Traffic was a nightmare, apparently PE managed to develop an additional 500 cars to the weekday William Moffat traffic flow. fml. In realising how late I was going to be for work, I decided (given I had to get a new box of cereal for the office) that I'd shoot into the PNP Hypermarket... only to find that their trading hours begin at 9am. fml. Soooo back onto the moffat, nothing's subsided, obviously.. and ponder the next idea... hmm, dodgy Burt Drive spar.. They may not have special K (may not), but even if they have All bran, I'll deal. Eventually I arrive, get in there's 3 columns of cereal - copious amounts of corn flakes and rice crispies, pronutro and muesli and every unhealthy kiddies cereal you can possibly imagine. No effing All bran, and it's not even worth mentioning that what I ACTUALLY wanted wasn't there, that was quite clearly a ridiculous idea I had conjured in my mind. So hence my charming Monday morning mood I stated that I wasn't being unreasonable, as All bran is only the most popular cereal in the world... Anyway settled with weetbix, got the fuck out, started a my car a couple of times and headed for work. Then my cellphone battery died. fml. Trying to not let all these 'annoyances' entice the mini hulk within... I decided to start working... all was fine and going well, until.............................. the power tripped. Seriously?

Seriously?

Happy "Friday the 13th" Biyatches!

                                         VISA APP DONE!!!!!!!!!!!              Awwwwww yeah !

Life....... behind bars

Life.......... well, it's enjoyable at times, it's hard at times, it's complicated and even incredible at times. Being one person who likes to try be that same person as often as possible, and generally how most people know me to be... it is challenging at times, when the truest version exists in the incredible times, yet, feels the resistance of the hill I climb when they're not so. A hill with slight incline over a long distance, is tough..... it takes longer, feels more challenging, but at no point do I need to give up, and take an alternative route or action... Striving, and endurance and I'll make it - no matter the time.. I'll get there.. its not an impossibility. A hill with a steep incline no matter the distance - let's go with short distance even... it's so hard, because it's something you weren't prepared to feel... you weren't sure you body could handle... you weren't sure if you had the strength to make it. I'm not making it. I try... it's too steep, so what do I do... I get off and I walk it... it's the only way I know how to get to the top. Don't get me wrong, the walk isn't easy... I'm pushing a burden and extra weight up with me. But once I make it to the flat... suddenly the weight is lighter, the walk is easier, the burden is gone and I can get back on and face the challenges I know I can withstand.

Boys.... sometimes they're just cool

Happy Easter to me....

Single Speed: Part 8 & 9

My bike wouldn't be complete if it didn't have a touch of cape town parts.. So whilst on our mad trip (earlier post) We somehow managed to find the time to shop... and in doing so, couldn't avoid a bicycle shop if we were walking right past one - that would be ludicrous! Nonsense talk! So we pulled in.... all looked around at the things on offer and all found something we 'needed' hahahaha. 2 of my 'needs' - actually I am confident enough to say mine actually were needs, unlike others... whose 'wants' are described as 'needs' on a regular basis. But I'll admit I  have become quite fond of the scrambled meaning's behind the words. :) Anyway, long story short, (or undertall -as another familiar term of 'endearment') hahaha. Like an indian I got my gold chain, and in keeping with the white, found a crazy pair of xposure white levers... All fair and well to have the levers.... but without the brakes, I'm riding into a wall..... literally! hahahha :P

moments needed...

This is my face!

Sometimes in life your character wavers.. and not because you are the type to lose yourself... but the fact that people can bring you to be someone else... Quite daunting when you think about it. A 'wrong' relationship can smother your personality by having changed you into someone you're meant to be for that person and not actually the person you are and were. Some people can bring out the best in you on the flip side of the coin... This too, can be a wavered version of who you really are or just made you reach who you really are at the right time... But at the end of the day are we all being the people we are, or the people we want to be and like to see in ourselves? Surely when you say to yourself - "I am the person I want to be when I'm around and with you" That is the person that counts.. Right now, I am the person I want to be... that makes me feel really good. Some people are in those relationships and don't get out... those people will never be who they want to be again. If you're around someone and you're being the version of yourself that you don't like, then this person is not good for you. If you be yourself and if you're too nice - realise that you'll resent people at certain points, because not everyone is 'too nice'. If you're an asshole and you go around being one and you're aware of that - realise that people aren't always going to like you. But BE yourself.... you'll end up having the right click around always.. Life's too short. If we can spend all our days around the people who like ourselves and love us as we are..... then you are among the lucky. It's not always easy when people travel in packs, because due to us all being so different in so many ways, your nearest and dearest might have a side to them that meshes very well with people you wouldnt necessarily. These things happen and these things aren't the worst things in the world either. I feel that as long as I treat those who are like my own family as I would treat my family, then I am doing all I 'need' to do.... Any other issue people have can fall in line with the rest that people face day in and day out. We'll deal with those when the time is right. Which sometimes I don't find the time for. Funny that.

Coming home...

Yay... My friends/people/gangsters are back today!! Bout time..............safe trip and hurry up already!!

Single Speed: Part 7

Cranking it up with some more white... This is all the way from Hong Kong.. luckily no crazy mileage going down on my bike, so not stressed about the best of the best, but the best of the best for the look... which is what I'm going for. A white crank was in order.. waited a long time for this guy to arrive... getting there...

Single Speed: Part 6

We don't always get the ride of our life... but whatever ride we get... it's better when its comfortable.. so ya... sweet old school turbo saddle that I managed to spot hiding in the lurks at the bicycle shop.. I've come to learn about these secret places within the shops... they're not shiny and on display....they're in the back, in a draw or in a crate... hiding from those who look for the 'good stuff'. To the naked eye.. the good stuff might not be seen, agreed on, or appreciated. But I have come to know it.. and this, despite what you may think, is a very integral part of the "Look".. Look.. :P

Sunday sessions...

On Sundays..... this is how we roll...
