George Bush is a complete MORON!!!!!

OK yes I know we all know that but Bush saying out loud to the whole world that Nelson Mandela is dead and that "Sadam Hussein killed all the Mandelas"...is he even from this planet? How do you Americans sleep at night? How do you believe in anything anymore? George is one of the stupidest public figures ever to have walked the face of this troubled earth.

Nelson Mandela, however, is (yes for those of you who believe that your president has a brain...and did not realise that he is useless at innuendos...Nelson Mandela is alive and living in the Eastern Cape of South Africa) a noble, humble and truly remarkable man and spirit. His ability to forgive, inspire and warm all of our hearts regardless of race, culture, gender or religion makes him one of the most significant beings of our time.

George the empty headed idiot on the other hand is no more than a pawn in a very terrible and tragic game of power of the world's worst enemies - the money hungry elite who can trash a whole country and its history for ego and oil. George is going to be the laughing stock of history and the people that support him should be ashamed.

He has no right to use someone as awesome (the true sense of the word...not American slang!) as Nelson Mandela for his own political gain and in the same breath as anything to do with Iraq for a true philanthropist like 'Madiba' is surely frowning on the forced occupation of another country and the theft of their resources...because Mr Mandela knows all about that and would never encourage such action. Furthermore, George Dumbass Bush, is the only head of state to visit Africa and not request a meeting with Nelson Mandela. Go figure.

Limitation

Reflection for me from far within the walls of self.
From the east side of the mind to the south side of the wound.
But your small mind can only see you.
And I pity your grey spirit's inability.

Cape Town Clone Colony

Cape Town Clone Colony
Ironic materialism of Cacophony
Pseudo-original
No individual aboriginal
Despite the bushmans voice
Of pure and conclusive choice

The ego spill over the man like rapid rain
Like the table cloth spills of the mountain
Hills of wicked conscious thought
Trust and honesty needs to be sought

Don’t call them loon
Don’t spite the moon

False Beauty is overrated
True insight cannot be negated

Cape Town Clone Colony
Ironic materialism of cacophony
Constellations of human A Capella
If only they could all see the splendour of Stella
Time to seek a different wealth
That always remains proper to the self

Don’t call them loon
Don’t spite the Moon

False Beauty is overrated
True insight cannot be negated

Cheesy existensional poem

Purple clouds fly by
Oblivious to space and time.
And I sit and I wonder why…

I wonder why the Virgo glow
Has always been so unseen?
To the energy they have flown;
But their reasons are always unknown.

Purple clouds whizz by.
Oblivious to space and time.
And I sit and I wonder why…

I wonder why like an endless novel,
We never reach complete understanding?
Perhaps it’s because in the media we trust,
That our purpose is lust

Purple clouds float by.
Oblivious to space and time.
And I sit and I wonder why…

I wonder why we deny our inner truth,
And plunder onwards like fools with no jokes?
We do not see that our spirits flow;
Like the simplicity of candle glow.

Purple clouds meander by
Oblivious of space and time
And I sit and I wonder why…

Viva La Rhino

You all know that business and work in the modern world is a strange thing. People like me start off finding the world pretty mundane and mediocre. They then get caught up in an elated dellusion of immediate change. And then one day they realise that life is all unpredictable, the unexpected happens, life is random and yet so purposeful and spirit-felt at the same time.

I find myself in a place where Social Media (yes I finally gave in to facebook.com today) and Internet delving has become a way of life. But still remains the beauty of a certain "people" gathered. Rhino Africa has an awesome bunch of unique, special beings working for them which gives me an immense hope in tourism as an industry and way of modern (don't we need a new word for this??!!) living.

Genuine people are hard to find. If they keep their faith and integrity in the third world tourism industry then something is won back from the post-colonial BIG BUSINESS colonisation.

A big up to the Indaba Rhino Africa crew and also Inspirational Places for champaign and comradery and Guy at Durban's coolest bar Bean Bag Bohemia.

May you all always live for the moment, smile upon the cheese and listen to good music!

Fundamentally Rudimental

Whether you live in South Africa or whether you are just visiting our complicated but beautiful country – you owe it to yourself to seek out the Rudimentals! They are a wicked band who truly show off some original African Ska with an infectiously earthy energy that gets your feet stomping and your arms waving. They are a motley crew whose stage presence exudes a power that is hard to find in live gigs these days. Read the review on www.music.org.za

During apartheid there was much cause for “identity” music in terms of protest and cultural personality. Both black and white musicians used music to express anger, political views and comment on our complex social dynamics.

With the first democratic elections in South Africa came the end of an era of music for our troubled country and it has taken until now to begin a new wave of local music that reflects our present situation.

The Rudimentals are part of this new eclectic wave of music and long may such trends continue!
