WC Post Orgasmic Chill

SA Post World Cup


You may have noticed the WC in South Africa was a roaring success. I believe it was, although some might have not noticed it through the vuvuzelas, which I love incidentally.

I was among a group of South Africans that absolutely without doubt expected the WC to be fantastic, I am in some circles naïve, in others stupid, in still others I am a lefty pinko liberal black lover. However in some circles I am just a normal guy who has faith in a Country that has succesfully run numerous large sporting events.

The tone of this article is more the post-orgasmic chill that is descending, or not, in South Africa. Its an interesting time to be here.

There are a number of things that lead you to believe that its all gone to “kak” again. Such as the traffic nightmare returning, ALL roadworks were paused for the WC so that there was as little traffic as possible. Julius Malema has started talking again, He being the leader of the ANC Youth League, and quite possibly the dumbest human being to be in any sort of public awareness, I included Paris Hilton here... her and her marijuana.

More important to me is the Obsession South Africans have with Being Proud of the country. It really is an obsession. We have this insistence on telling everyone that we had a great conversation at the Licensing board, the Traffic Police Station and Home Affairs. There is a tangible desire to since the WC that we keep everything going in that direction, from the smallest thing all the way up to govt. That is not always easy, what with the govt. suddenly post WC trying to get some sort of censorship on the press.

But there are other things, for instance LEADSA which is an initiative created by a corporation that, despite my disregard for all things “positive” created by corporates, is a great initiative, whereby they encourage every South Africa to “Lead” South Africa by their behaviour. Just today I saw a BillBoard that said “Fight Corruption Dont Bribe Traffic Police” which on the face of it is quite comical, but actually its a pretty cool thing to say and to get people to think about. Every South African has bribed a cop at some stage, whether we were a little pissed on the way home and slipped a 20 into his/her hand or whether it was a cop being unreasonable and there being no way to get out of a possible dangerous situation.

There is the other side of things that is great for South African Football. Every South African supports an English Team, for me it is... for my sins, Liverpool. But most are getting their act together and are finding a local team, I do speak more for the whiteys like myself regarding local teams as most Black South Africas do have a team already. My best mate here, who is a German, and I are finding our local team to support, to buy tickets Merchandise and to therefore support the team. These things all make a difference. So hopefully with a few thousand more supporters SA Football will gain a little money and will help our national team up a few more rungs in the international ladder. Which I certainly believe we deserve to be.

Official ....

Facebook update: Soandso McNodody has invited you to join The Official Site to Remove Julius Malema as the Head of the ANCYL


... you to join "If we get 1 quatrillion members bob Mugabe will resign as President of Zimbabwe"


WTF is this shit.

Seriously, what a load. Does anyone actually believe that if they join these groups, that they'll somehow be making the world a better place?



Just like Bono. Which brings me to this ultimate wanker. Bono a man who insists the population of Ireland must give away their money to nameless African Leaders, but lives in a Tax Haven.


I am losing focus.


If someone sends you an "Official" facebook group invitation that is not started by some wank shit like Xfactor or Kazakhstan's Got Talent (I might join that actually)

Dont fucking join it, its shit, it makes you look stupid

Look at the picture, it has this "Rainbow Nation bullshit" attached to it, with those black white coloured indian hands all together looking like they are having some sort of RA RA RA chant.

"Julius out he's a bad man"

"ON 3"

"JULIUS OUT HE'S A BAD MAN"

"Well done team rainbow"




Fools

I love swearing. I really do.

Its something that is underrated and hated and judged unfairly.

I recently watched a doccie called "Fuck" which highlighted the hypocrisy of people who judge others who use that particular word. Its an excellent show.

Most important for me is that some people really believe swearing is a cheap way of making an impact when, you need to be really smart to use it well.

I attach my first example of brilliant swearing.

I love it for two reasons, the second guys response to the first guys assertion uses only one word, but uses it twice. Secondly he uses the word "literally" which with its double meaning really adds a lot of humour.

I hope Colin and Lauren Daniels' marriage didnt fall apart

I did an odd/creepy thing.

I went for a run a few months ago and found about 40 dvd's lying naked in the road.

Now the chance that they would be cool, is almost zero. Its like Demetri Martin Says "finding something in your hair is never going to be a good thing, its not like its going to be a treat or something"

They all had the same Print on the surface of the DVD:
Colin & Lauren Daniels
22nd March 2009
Wedding DVD

Each line had a different font, which a major pet peeve of mine. But, it was pretty cover and she looked hot, so I thought I'd take a look.

Facebook stalking is one thing. Watching a perfect strangers dvd. Thats fucked up!!

Anywho, nice flower arrangement. But seriously making the photos into a video. That sucks. Leave them as jpegs, that way people can delete all the photos of other people and just keep the ones the like.

Also. Music was Mediocre.

Barry Louis Polisar - All I Want is You
Amelie
David Gray - Now and Always
Some dodgy Piano Guitar Duo
A really nice French Song
Mama Cass Elliot - Dream a Little Dream of Me

Actually, its not that bad, I think I am so negative because she reminds me of my brothers AWFUL ex girlfriend... and she is a giantess
The Groom wore a beautiful tie

hopefully tossed away dvds dont mean a tossed away marriage.

Interpol

Interpol have a new song!!

Its called Lights, its the first single from their unreleased new album.

Slow, and steady. Very much like Wrecking Ball or Lighthouse.

The dog-arsed mouths of the people who hate our country

You know those people.

The ones who stand in the line at woolworths and tut at the people who dont know how to use the "next customer please" system.

I have been dealing with a number of people recently who, despite the tsunami of goodwill coming our way from the World Cup, constantly moan about South Africans, the Government and the "I'm not racist, but the blacks..."

I was in Durban for a few days last week and I dropped a friend off at the new airport. Its wonderful, a few hiccups. It was only 2 hours old when I arrived, so thats not a big surprise. It is however beautiful and will be a joy, mostly because we dont have an unpronouncable volcano down the road. I was shocked by the number of people who complained about the exhorbitant amount of money spent on the highly neccessary building. Airports are expensive!!

These are the same people who would have complained if it was ugly and the worlds visitors would have had a bad first impression.

It annoys me that I need to defend the country against the tidal wave of negativity from its inhabitants.

anyway.

get positive and enjoy our beautiful country.
