It's my life

It's been once again a ridiculously long period since my last post... I know I keep saying this but I really think I shall make more of an effort in future to jot down my random thoughts in passing before I let a year go by once again. Miss me? ha haI recently ran the Two Oceans half Marathon (21,something kilometers) and the whole experience of my first race got me thinking once again about the absurdity of humans...What other animal would make a journey of that length (I say this relatively because I have no doubt many animals travel broader distances, but I'm speaking in terms of human physical travel) for the simple fun of it. That's it. Wildebeest and Zebra partake in Miles and miles of ...

Of all the natural wonders of the world, the magic of a growing seed, the secret transformations within a pupa, the smartest advances in animal intellect, I find the human race is by far the most perplexing. Age after age seems to pass, and although we modernise our habitats and quality of living, we seem to do little to change our habits and responses to certain people and situations.It's the early middle ages. Various ...

Dominance. This word is reminiscent of those nature documentaries one watches lazily on a Sunday Afternoon. Dogs for instance, show their dominance to one another by making sure their heads are higher than their opponents. I remember this from my childhood observations when our small, mix-breed bitch would use our Labrador bitch as a stand post on which she lent to display her dominance. Of course, the Labrador was not ...

Wow! It certainly has been a while since I've last posted. This is probably inexcusable on my behalf, but I will try to justify it nonetheless. Since My last post, I have started the life of a student, which is altogether a new and different experience. Apart from knowing absolutely no one (since it is a new Town I moved to), there was a flurry of colour I am unused to (for one having occupied dryer regions of South ...

Well, well, well... We all well into a new year, Chinese included and I must say that it's been a very busy one so far! What with all the piles of boxes and furniture we had to labor 1000 kilometers, squeeze through the door and unpack its been exhausting really. I like to think of us as squirrels, gathering nuts like maniacs to prepare for the battle of an upcoming winter. Yet now I think we can begin to settle, start ...

Ah! November... its funny how a year can sit still and quiet upon a rock, sunbathing and at the strangest of times, take flight like a seabird. Yes, my mind is already at the seaside as I sit day dreaming at my desk, the open textbook beyond my vision, waiting patiently for my attention. My final Matric exams are underway, and I can only wonder through them, lost at sea until the day comes when I spot an island of comfort. ...

Today, I can honestly say that I've had a good day's work. Thinking of my last blogging, I can honestly say that all the needs on my hierarchy are met and I am content with my life. The only really pressing thing on my mind is that my gym card has expired and I am in need of a good work out!I managed good results for last term and all went well. Now the pressure is on to just keep it up. But through my happiness and ...
