My first projects for the year, to mt detrement it was yet another horrid school. It was thankfully shorter and less painfull than the hugely painfull Mayebuye project of last year, which almost killed me. I'm still creatively recovering from the torment.

I felt a great lift of pressure and I see he did to, its something that had to be discussed. I do understand his concerns and why there was hesitation, which makes me appreciate and love him even more! I'm glad though that it is now something to be tackled together as a team, since we are a team and we operate like a team therefore we can no longer go about dealing with life's curve balls as individuals! we want and need each other daily, hourly, every second! Its as if we have become an extension of each other. Wow this conjugation is such a beautiful and wonderful part of my life, I cherish it and am greatful for it daily!

Once again the importance of communication within a relationship was so strongly proved to me. It remains such a vital element of a relationships survival and potential growth!

Wow time flies so fast, today marks our 7 month anniversary. Its already been 7 months and we have been through so much together, from Bramley to a night of a thousand pricks and many other things in between. Through all of it we stayed together and it made our relationship stronger. We know that our relationship is unique, very unique and I know for a fact that I'm very lucky to have a beautiful relationship like this with such an honest man. Its something many people search for and never find, I therefore cherish what we have dearly! I love my man so much that words are often highly inadequate to actually describe the extent of my feelings, so I am often left with the inability to actually express my emotions!

The very next day, after my partner had arrived back into South Africa we decided to do a road trip to Hartebeespoort Dam, I thought it would've been a perfect opportunity to stretch my new camera's legs!

I've found myself standing before a silver trident fork which stems from a swelling node. Its presence surprisingly isnt to overwhelming, its long gleaming spears reaching into the distance excite me. My only concern is the slight inflammation at the root!


It has only just very recently dawned on me, the reason for its abnormal swelling. It was thought that the center was the cause where in fact it wasn't at all involved. The center however was acutely sensitive in identifying the slight unlubricated wheel operating within the complex machine! I am almost certain what thorn is guilty of such effects, I must try to gently ease it out, the discomfort caused is very apparent!


Its been quite a dramatic sequence of events that have been unfolding back at MSV HQ! Its becoming draining and stale very quickly though, the very reason why i have been avoiding lots!

On the eve of the second birthday of One Third Basketi I sit here pondering many topics while navigating through the overgrown grass. The time however is shortly arriving, the time where i shall cut the grass back down to its carpet appearance. It's a wonderful thing though how vast and lush all these forever expanding square meters have become.

Architecturally a courtyard is a space enclosed by buildings, a communal courtyard that is shared by the building that encloses it, a courtyard is generally something paved and sparsely populated by anything green. It is however a very efficient space, a safe space, but it does however lack that extra something, that touch of life perhaps?

I once had a courtyard, it worked so well and served me very loyally. Then gradually the courtyard started to dissolve and disintegrate to reveal a new type of space, a space initially quite inexplicable, something that perhaps is not meant to be explained. It was a space drowned in light and fresh air, a space that held Eden's envy!

What an erroneous prediction, i didn't quite think the feeling of longing would be as strong as it is now. I also didn't quite realize how much I would miss him, he really has become completely a part of my life in everything I do, every little daily chore, from brushing my teeth to making a sandwich, we do together. My failure to realize how much I would miss him was probably due to the fact that we spend almost every waking minute together which unfortunately prevents me from sometimes fully appreciating the special moments and random times we share, and now for the first time in our beautiful relationship we will be apart for a little while (more like a long fucking eternity), while he is overseas visiting family.


I drove straight home from the airport, with thoughts exclusively regarding him. I thought about today that we had spent together, all the countless minutes I tried to soak up before he left. I'm still sitting here thinking about the many characteristics that makes him so special. I feel so disconnected from him now, contact is not possible for the next 12 hours while his in the air. For the first time in... ever, I feel lonely, we have grown so closely together and it feels unnatural for me to be without my oke. I can still remember when we met, and when we still were friends and getting to know each other. I remember the first time we cooked together at Cotswold, and all the creative dishes that have been made since then. I thought about all the extreme situations we were dropped into, especially Bramley, which still makes me sad that he had to endure something so unpleasant.


It has unfortunately taken a longer time to heal after the fire of two weekends ago, I do admit I have not fully recovered. The heat dealt quite a blow to certain parts of my core, and the effects still linger on in my thoughts. However i am recovering, and in this situation time is the only healer.

1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms, just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Found on facebook! Love It!

It is indeed ironic how so quickly a rose can stab so bitterly. How poisonous actions could easily slice through the bread and butter. The entwined was almost unwrapped, if it weren't for some, seemingly engineered unseen forces. On what side of the fence do these nudges belong on, I educatedly assume not the other side.


A renewed fear has very recently surfaced, could I be infringing upon the the core? Am i not providing sufficient remuneration. I fear that the reception could be dimming as a result of other possible causes. How will i know for certain, what clues will yield finite knowledge and what markers would highlite the contradicting elements and separate them with reason and logic


There still however remains the beacon of silver and gold, raised above everything Deep within the pathway I am confident that evolution and instinct will lend lits kind hand, to allow the union the ability to adapt and thrive.
