One Wild Night in Mulbarton

Salamu

This post should actually be titled A Few Wild Nights in Mulbarton, but one night in particular stood out. 

And it is current events which inspired this post. Bafana Bafana are playing against Senegal at the Moses Mabhida Stadium tonight in Durban and I am stuck here in Sleepy Hollow. 

In the past, when we used to feel the need to attend an event but never had the means to do so... we improvised. 

One such night was at my best friends' parents house in Mulbarton South of Johannesburg. His parents were away on holiday so we had a house party at his place. We got A.B.S.O.L.U.T.E.L.Y HAMMERED (my liver starts panicking when I think about how much we drank that night)  and were watching some wrestling on the TV. 

The WWE were on tour in South Africa at the time but we couldn't afford to go and see them, so Michael's brother Rambo (who is a bit locco) gets a tarp [the same they use in Survivor] and puts it on the driveway. We put up four corner posts by hitting cricket wickets into bricks and we used stock standard string to make ring ropes. And we were determined that we were going to stage our own Royal Rumble as there was 30 of us. 

This seemed like an awesome idea at the time, but looking back: 29 white friends beating on one black guy at 2 am in the morning might look a tad suspicious. 

The neighbor across the road from Michael's parents house is one of these nosy sons of bitches who does not own curtains in the house and loved to stay up until all hours of the morning. The wife called the PO PO on us and when the John Law was at the gates, the general feeling at the house was that me being the oldest and most sober looking of the bunch go and talk to them. 

The fact that I leopard crawled my way to the gate didn't help and the fact that I tried to speak Arabic to them helped even less. Eventually I stopped being stubborn and  listened to what the cops had to say. They said they were responding to a call about a black man being severely beaten up. my response: "He isn't so bad officer. He might need a drip for a while and might need to walk on a stick for the rest of his life but otherwise he is fine." They could see we were a bit pissed so they laughed because they knew we were joking  They told us to behave and left. 

This made us louder and we carried on like a bunch of animals. We got to bed as the sun rose and I was sleeping when Michael got the call from his mom. The neighbor saw Michael's Aunt at church and ratted on us. Michael's Aunt in turn ratted on us to Michael's mom who had an hour long screaming session with Michael on the phone. 

To this day I hate a rat bastard! For those who do not know what a rat bastard is...its someone who cant wait to report the happenings of a person to a higher authority to get them in trouble.

Expensive ass evening at the movies.

Salamu

One of the few social activities that I enjoy taking part in thoroughly is going to the movies. 

But I never realized how expensive it has become. I went with my brother and my cousin to watch the new Ghost Rider movie on the weekend and I was shocked as shit to find out that two movie tickets cost almost R100, then you need popcorn and coldrink and shit and that costs another R100 for two people. 

What the hell. a month ago one movie ticket cost R33 and it has gone up to R46! That's an increase of R13!

How the f##k these people justify this is beyond me. And it is situations such as these which make you realize why piracy is so rampant in the world today. 

I was safe because I was paying for me and my brother. But imagine now a family of four going to the movies and the two kids want to bring a friend each to the movie. That's six, R46 X 6 =  R276. Then its the popcorn and coldrink story which lets say costs R40 each (it costs more though, believe me. I'm just taking an average) R40 x 6 = R240. This means for a night out it will cost the man of the family R516. 

This is ridiculous, niggas have to now rob a bank and shit to take their family out for the evening! It aint right!

And then (depending on the movie) you have to contend with screaming teenagers [which may or may not include your own], that son of a bitch who doesn't know how to switch his phone on silent and answers his phone in the movie, that other son of a bitch that talks through the whole movie, and those c##ts who walk in once the movie has started. 

Despite this I like going to the movies, because some movies need to be seen on the big screen and not a 800 x 600 computer laptop screen. Some of these include Braveheart, The Last Samurai (which I saw 13 times in the theaters), Troy, most of the James Bond movies and The Wolf man. 

But for the cost of R249 a month (for uncapped internet access) you can download all of the movies you want and watch them in the comfort of your home where screaming teenagers can be controlled, people dont walk in late and you can have a shot of whiskey or vodka while watching the movie. 

I am, a catholic and suffer from hectic catholic guilt syndrome. So stealing to me is a sore point. Although I do have a 1 TB external hard drive at home that is packed with movies, the majority of them are old movies that are off the circuit and you will struggle to get in DVD stores. So I don't feel to bad about it. 

And then when I consider how much people are stealing from me when I buy a movie ticket my guilt is quickly gone down the tubes. 

Mei jua daima kuwa kabla yenu, na vivuli nyuma yako!

My pride and joy. Even if they are on my external harddrive. 

Bond...James Bond

Salamu

It has been well documented on this blog that I am a shameless James Bond fan. I love the franchise and have all 23 James Bond movies on my external hard drive. i have a book that documents the history of Bond and I have two model Aston Martin Cars from Die Another Day ( Aston Martin Vanquish) and Goldfinger (Aston Martin DB5). 

I am in the process of watching Die Another Day and like all Bond films it follows a specific formula. The locations are the same, the enemies are the same and the plots are the same. 

What if a James Bond film had to be filmed in South Africa?

Plot: 

Somali Pirates kidnap the daughter of a rich Saudi oil baron. The pirates demand full control of the oil baron's assets which would give the pirates enough funding to expand their operations and take them world wide.

MI 6 calls in Bond as he killed the brother of the leader of the pirates in Licence to Kill and he has the inside track on how the pirate leaders mind works. He will team up with a South African agent who heads up the Anti Piracy International, the world body fighting the growing threat of Somali pirates which is based in Cape Town.

But there are problems. The Somali cell has an inside man (which turns out to be a woman) in Anti Piracy International so they are always one step ahead of the game. Before they can crush the cell they must find the mole.

Being fluent in Swahili, the mole senses that they are on her track so she fees to Lusaka Zambia where she hides with a tibe of local people who speak Swahili.

Shit gets blown up, Bond almost dies but doesn't and he gets to DALA the oil barons daughter and the mole before he busts a cap upside her head.  

James Bond: 

To me Daniel Craig is past his prime. He was good in Casino Royale and half decent in Quantum of Solace. But he is getting old so a new Bond has to be found.

In order to be Commander Bond an actor has to be a) British or b) Born in a area that has colonial ties with Britain. 

But we don't even have to go down Route B there is a clear choice and that is Gerard Butler. He is big enough and good looking enough to be a clear cut first choice. 

Runners up would be Hugh Jackman or Clive Owen. 

Villains:

A strong villain is Don Cheatle. 

His ensemble cast of pirate miscreants can be Terrance Howard, Derek Chisora, David Haye (provided the latter two don't beat each other up on set), Michael Clarke Duncan, Mark Henry (the wrestler) and a few local Somali Habeed. 

Supporting Cast:

South African agent: Me...The Lion of Lebanon...Shalafain. I have always wanted to be a James Bond, but have resigned myself to the fact that I do not the looks to be a Bond. So I might as well be his South African agent friend. 

Mole (Inside Woman): Adele Coetzee. She has been given loads of airplay on my blog and for good reason. She is good looking enough to be in a Bond movie. Her characters background story is that she is a mole because the Pirates are holding her mother and sister captive and will kill them is she doesn't provide the pirates with info. 

Saudi oil Baron's Daughter: Naomi Scott. Smoking hot property at the moment

Weapons:

Bond will be equipped with a Walther P99 while his South African agent will wield a Heckler & Koch HK 45, a Magnum 44 and a HK MP5.

Basically the South African will need so many weapons because we do live in the most violent country in the world.

The Somali Pirates will be armed with RPG's, AK 47's and tactical knives.

Car:

Bond will drive a new Aston Maritn dubbed the Aston Martin Destroyer which will be a hybrid between the Vanquish (from Die Another Day) and Zao's Jaguar XKR from the same movie. 

Gadget:

A new Omega watch called: The Pace Setter. Which sends out electro magnetic pulses which breaks any electronically controlled lock

A Union Jack jacket badge which sends out a laser which can cut through steel. 

Police Aviator Sunglasses which are X Ray vision and he can see through shit! Even woman's outer garments. 

Locations: 

Cape Town South Africa.

Mogadishu Somalia.

Lusaka Zambia

Dammam Saudi Arabia

This would be one of the most Epic James Bond movies ever! Lets make it happen Bracolli's we can make a deal. Please man I need to get out of it!

There are only three days left to vote for my girl Adele Coetzee in the FHM Top Model for 2012. so when you look at her beautiful picture click on the link and do some voting! She needs your help.

My third being 30 experience. AKA: I'm getting to old for this shit

Salamu

Admittedly my mouth is my biggest enemy and it came to haunt me this week.

I will never back down from a challenge and when my editor asked who has the cajones to cover the Unlimited Dusi Canoe Marathon I was literally jumping up and down with excitement.

Little did I know it would be three days of waking up at 3 am and cashing my ass until 1 pm hauling it back to the office and churning out stories until 6 pm or 7 pm (depending on the news day). I realized during this time that at 30 they might as well call me Jonathan “The Lion of Lebanon RogerMurtaugh” Faurie because I am getting to old for this shit.

Awesome bottom ends were the order of the day

It was amazing though I must say. On the first day I got waylaid finding Mission Rapid and got told to stop in at the Jabulani Tavern near Nkanyezini where the owner would not let me go until I heard her story and take a taxi to the rapid with some 100 supporters (spread out over six taxi’s) who were screaming ululating and blowing vuvuzela’s supporting Thulani Mbanjwa and Sibonelo Zondi.

On Day Two I caught up with a Russian family who thought (like the rest of the world) that there are lions running in the streets and that they will get mugged or killed if they set foot on our soil. But when they realized that the reality is far different from the fiction they were smiling from ear to ear. And that smile lasted for the whole race.

I won’t talk too much about this next section because then I will get a call from my little sister in Johannesburg telling me what a dirty pig I am, but the talent at the Dusi is AWESOME!

Greeting weary paddlers at the end of the days racing are the Duzi Floozies. OH MY WORD, basically they are a bunch of tanned beautifully proportioned ladies in bikinis greeting you with a smile from ear to ear and a beer at 10:30 in the morning.

Although their asset portfolio’s were not overly impressive their bottom ends were stunning.

And yours truly felt like a Greek God after getting the picture below!

Spending some time with the Duzi Floozies

Why Whitney was popular

Salamu

I don’t usually update my blog twice on one day but the death of Whitney Houston really shocked the music world.

I was a fan of Whitney, but I also never realized that there were so many fans. But looking back I can see why.

Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross and Gladys Knight were the first iconic black female singers and they had a generation of followers. Because the African American’s are so community and family focused the younger generation wanted to follow and love the same type of music their parents did, but they needed a new role model. And along came Tina Turner.

She was the icon for her generation, and like the generation before, the new generation wanted to do the same and needed a role model and along came Houston.

Although I hate Valentine’s Day (see post below) I am not opposed to romantic music. Her cover of Dolly Parton’s I will Always Love You is a rare occasion where the cover is better than the original and I Have Nothing is a decent love song about what love is actually about. In fact that whole Bodyguard soundtrack was very good.

WHITNEY HOUSTON - I Have Nothing

Powered by mp3skull.com

But as with all high profile people, the public will focus on the negatives.

There are rumors that she died of a drug overdose and then people will say: she had all the money in the world why do this to yourself?

Let me tell you something, you don’t know what demons she fought on a daily basis. And yes all of us have demons, trust me I know, it’s just that some of us can fight them better than others.

That does not mean you all need to go and find a hammer to help crucify her. If anyone has a bad word to say about Houston I’ll tell them the same things I tell people about Michael Jackson.

Judge her by her music not by her character, that’s God’s job.

And

Can you honestly say that you have no demons that you face on a daily basis?

Mei jua daima kuwa kabla yenu, na vivuli nyuma yako!

The day I hate

Salamu

It is virtually impossible for someone to get up every single day and get full enjoyment out of it. The only people that can achieve this are people on drugs.

There will always be that one day a year which grates people’s balls, rub people up the wrong way, piss on their parade.

That day for me is Valentine’s Day. I F.U.C.K.I.N.G HATE IT! HATE IT.

Everything is red, the restaurants are full, service is shit, flowers are expensive, everything else is expensive. I hate it.

Yes maybe it does boil down to the fact that I was never a popular choice over valentine’s day, in fact I can count the valentines I received on one hand. But even when I was dating my ex I felt iffy about society creating this view that you must declare your love for someone on February 14.

My friend…if you need a day to tell someone you love them then I have bad news for you.

I am the type of person who goes to a bar with a bunch of mates for a piss up on Valentines Day. One of the more memorable ones was at the Double Decker in 2005, the night I became friends with the Geordie Element.

I was getting a bit pissed with some South African mates of mine who all found dodgy loose women and whent home with them. I made my way to the bar and did the worst thing possible….I let this fit girl (who’s assets were virtually climbing out of her low cut top) coax me into having complementary Tequila shots.

Tequila and I have never been the best of friends and I am always up for a scrap when I am on my version of Karate Juice.

So there I was staring into blank space when a girl occupies the space next to me at the bar. A guy she was obviously avoiding persisted in talking to her and grabbed her by the arm. Not wanting to let go even after she told him to, I looked the man in the eye and asked him what part about let my arm go did he not understand. He came towards me and asked me who I thought I was, so I head butted him and screamed at him: “IM THE LION OF LEBANON AND YOULL DO WELL TO REMEMBER THAT!”

Little did I know the girl I helped out was none other than Porgies sister. The rest of The Element rushed to her aid only to find me standing over this guy I head butted.  The rest of The Element bought me drinks for the remainder of the evening and I earned the undying admiration of Porgies sister (who is fit as a butchers dog). I did see action that night and probably would have settled down with the girl, if we both didn’t come to the conclusion that we are like brother and sister to each other. And it doesn’t help if this realization comes after a four hour session of stamina testing and inspection of asset portfolios.

Mans ultimate decision!

Working the mind

Salamu

It is funny how the human mind works sometimes. It has always fascinated me and if ever do study again, I would study psychology. 

Her smile is unique and inviting

I was watching Captain America the other night and there is a part of the movie where Steve Rogers is getting briefed by his superior officer. There was this cute girl int he scene and something told me that I had seen her face before somewhere. Then she smiled and the way her lips went a trigger in my mind screamed out the name Natalie Dormer. 

This actually freaked me out a bit because I was so used to her in The Tudors where she had jet black hair, and here she was in Captain America with blonde hair. Yet I recognized her. But then again, I was watching X Men and found myself thinking that Rogue was very familiar and I had seen her before, then when she smiled and I saw the gap in her teeth a trigger in my mind screamed out the name Anna Paquin. which again freaked me out because I was so used to her blonde hair in True Blood, and yet here she was in X Men with red hair.

I am currently engrossed in Terra Nova. for those of you who have been living under a rock it is a kick ass TV series about taking people from the future and transporting them back to the past to make a new start on life. 

To be honest I cant stop watching it and find myself watching two or three episodes a night.Yes I already have the whole first season. 

This is actually quite normal for me. When I stayed in Dubai we got the first season of Prison Break and we watched it over two nights.  This sent me seriously tripping and I would dream that I was in jail and i needed to break out. 

It was the same with True Blood season one. We got it bootleg and we watched the whole first season in one night. so I was dreaming that I was a vampire and biting all the pretty girls asses. It was the happiest time of my life. 

There is a connection here, I watched the whole first season of Prison Break in two nights because I was really infatuated with Sarah Wayne Callies and thought at that time that she was the cutest little thing alive. So I watched it just to get my daily fix of Dr Tancredi. 

A good friend of mine who used to work with me (shes actually more of a sister to me then a friend) had a picture of Wentworth Miller on her cubicle wall and every now and then she would stare at the picture...sigh...and have a moment with the pic. That was until I caught her doing it one day and said to her: You know that he is gay right. She looked at the picture in disgust and tore it off her cubicle wall. 

Then I stumbled upon Anna Paquin and forgot about Callies very quickly. So I found myself watching True Blood just to see Sookie Stackhouse's cute little ass running away from Vampires. And then, towards the end of the first season, the main character turns this other girl Jessica Hamby (Debrorah Ann Woll) into a vampire. 

So now we had a cute blonde and a cute redhead in the same show. I was in heaven, dead to the world. My friends cursed me because all I could talk about was True Blood. 

I recently also stumbled upon Rome which I watched for the first time at the end of last year. Which for me was behind the times. And again, there were some seriously good looking girls in that series. 

I cant wait for to get hold of the fifth season of True Blood just to see more of my girls and I really hope that they continue with the second season of Terra Nova so that I can see more of Shelly Conn and Naomi Scott. Yum Yum. 

Mei jua daima kuwa kabla yenu, na vivuli nyuma yako!

If a vampire like this knocks on my door Ill ask which part of the neck she prefers. 

Shooting the breeze with a FHM Model!

Salamu

Look into my crystal eyes the genie said to Aladdin

So the IT manager pranced to my desk this morning asking me why I am spending so much time on FHM’s Website voting for Adele Coetzee. So I showed her a picture of Ms Coetzee she turns a bright red and her response was: “I’d hit that!” and she went to her desk and asked me for the link so she could vote for her as well!

My vote count is sitting at about 1 000 votes.

I am really pushing this cause, and for no other reason than seeing Ms Coetzee in my favorite mag in the world on a regular basis. Ive also always fancied myself as a FHM writer so with this in mind I proposed that I do a one-on-one (keep it clean guys) interview with the beauty. She was ecstatic and really embraced the fun nature of my questions.

Hope you all enjoy! AND KEEP VOTING!!!!!! ONLY 20 DAYS LEFT!

What inspired you into becoming a model? Is it a case of waking up in the morning and deciding you want to be one or did you always want to make mens hearts race?

I always dreamt about being a super model (that's every little girls dream about lol), but I never actually had the guts to go out and do something about it. I worked with various different type of models over the last 2 years (always back stage of cause). 


They actually inspired me a year and half ago to get into photographic modelling. I knew if I really want this and want to achieve this I have to just do it and do it right now. I told myself I only live once so it's now or never. I went for my first photo shoot a year and a half ago about at Petit Fleur Photography and she actually inspired me to pursue this career further. 


I always adored FHM, one of my favorite magazine's(even if it's only a guy thing really), I just love it and can imagine myself in it. That has been my aim for this past year making it to the cover or getting my own spread and recognition for my hard work and I can proudly say I'm nearly there As for the future I want to continue doing photo shoots with various pro photographers and continue to embrace my fellow supporters with my latest stuff, it's a passion!

Can I wrap my world around you?

LOL We thought it was to tease men! What would winning the FHM Top Model mean for you?

Good question! 


I worked for this position for a whole year now if not longer, I've put a lot of energy and time into this and made it my ultimate goal to get to at least to the Top 5, but I must say the No 1 spot will be superb. 


 If I win this I know I will be the perfect ambassador for FHM South-Africa. I don't just want to win this and then disappear, I promise to stay in touch and inspire other young and upcoming models to get here too.


I get text messages daily from girls that want to know how I do it, where do they start and I love to help them always. I always say every girl has a unique look why not make the best of it before the wrinkles starts kicking in 

How has the support been from friends, family and supporters during your journey?

WOW, more than just amazing! I have so many wonderful supporters, I call them Team Adele. It's really an awesome feeling to know that I have so many people and complete strangers that support me, every day new supporters pop up with their amount of votes and contribution to the comp for me. I'm really blessed to have my family and loved ones behind me too and my true fans from around the globe, let's do this! 
What has been the highlight of your journey?


Knowing that complete strangers support me. As the dead line gets closer I get even more nervous by the day, it's really stressful but at the same time it's SO much fun and I enjoy this journey with all of my heart and then guess what pops up.. new voters daily, that's a truly amazing feeling and a definite highlight for me  


Thank youuuu

You are a very beautiful women and I doubt you were teased on the playground. Were you always attractive or were you a late bloomer?

hahaha all I can say is that I matured a lot over the last 3 years and I can only thank God for blessing my parents 

Describe your version of a perfect date.

I'm not very high maintenance, so a perfect evening out for me with a special someone would be a delicious dinner at Monte Casino and a theatre show after wards. It's really super cool.

Every woman says that until the date actually happens and Dom Perignon finds its way on the bill! How are you going to spoil your man this valentines day?

Mmmmm.. I'd rather not share that one  I learnt that you do not speak out of the bed room lol 

Just ask Joost. Tell us about the worst date you ever had!

Oh gosh, this one time a guy got so "poep dronk" he ended up showing his agro site, I gave him the following score... 0/10. Sorry but respect comes first always then the rest follows.

Sounds great! Do pick up lines work on you and what is the best one you have heard so far?

hahaha lol it depends on a lot of factors, guys always try and target my eyes 

Which are absolutely adorable by the way. White or Dark chocolate?

White, hehe I know I know dark chocolate is healthy, but white chocolate tastes so much better mmm 

Strawberries and crème, yummy mummy.... need I say more !

Strawberries and Cream or Jelly and Custard?

Definitely strawberries and crème, yummy mummy.... need I say more !

Actually...NO. Vin Diesel or Ryan Reynolds? 

Ryan Reynolds, he has such a puppy face, lol. I'm not a fan of too much muscle, yes it's sexy, but it's got it's limits, if you know what I mean 

We do indeed (note to self…lay off the weights at gym for a while!) How much money would you need to be paid to become Jacob Zuma’s next wife?

Oh glory! Don't you think his got enough wife's for this year already, LOL... 

How much money would you need to be paid to become Julius Malema’s first wife?

Julius who? hehehe....Never in a million years! I think I might be assassinated in the first year  

I am a very shy person when it comes to women. (Extremely shy in fact) What is your advise to me and others like me.

Well well, Just be yourself for starters, don't try and pretend to be someone you're not, that's when you going to make a real ass of yourself hehe. You only live once. SO... If you like a woman and she's available.. don't hesitate, grab some confidence and walk up towards her with the biggest and cutest smile, give her that melting effect  It works like a charm. 


Good luck 

Why Thank You. What is your final message to supporters before the Top Model is named?

I said it before and I'll continue saying it till the end. THANK YOU! thank you for being on TEAM ADELE, it means the world to me you have no idea  Please stick with me for the final 3 weeks, to be exact... 20 days in counting! I believe in myself and I ask everyone to believe in me too, without them I am nothing!


Love Adele. XOXOXO

Service delivery protests and becoming a fan.

Salamu

So I took my next step into being 30 today. I joined a service delivery protest. 

I've always wanted to you know. Ever since I went to the apartheid museum and saw what went on when I was a twinkle in my mothers eye. But i have either never been in the right place at the right time (ie: forced to attend) or I have never had the cajones to participate in one. 

But today was different, I walked into mt office and get told by my editor that I must to to a town called Richmond to attend a service delivery protest. So i begrudgingly go and catch up with the protesters as they are on the move towards the city centre. The phlange know me by now and told me to pull in behind their escort. 

Now bear in mind it is 32 degrees in the shade and the hubeed have a 3 km stretch before they get into town. There are some women protesters who were Toi Toing in high heels! I swear on my life! no jokes! 

Now who in their right f##king minds do that? I mean please! 

So there was a lot of dancing and a lot of shouting and I had a prime position behind the cops line so i felt safe having some serious looking individuals next to me with Beretta Pistola's and Riot Shields. But I had to go through the crowd to talk to the march organiser. needless to say when I asked one of the serious looking individuals with a Beretta Pistola to escort me to him he looked at me and said: F##k that shit. 

So I had to mingle with the crowd. A big whitie screaming Amandla...Awetu with a bunch of skinny as brothers! Like f##k did I fit in...I stuck out like a sore thumb. 

I was uneventful I must say, but an experience none the less. 

What else did i want to talk about today...ah yes.

I was never a fan of Leonardo Di Caprio, in fact when my ex subjected me to Titanic I spent three hours waiting for the little shit to drown. Now it seems that every second movie on my hard drive has him in it. 

Admittingly he has grown in stature since Blood diamond, and I think he was at his best in Shutter Island. WHAT A MOVIE! You haven't lived until you see it. The long and short of it is Di Caprio visits an island full of loony tunes and tries to uncover a murder/mystery, but it turns out he is the biggest looney tune of them all and he created a whole new world he was living in. 

After that I watched Body of Lies where again he was very good. Despite myself, I am slowly becoming a fan.But it will take a while to clinch me. Maybe Inception will do it, haven't watched that yet.  

And finally. ADELE COETZEE. Please people, make the effort to vote for her. She is an amazing person and perhaps an interview with her is in order. Ill draw up some questions and pose them to her. Lets see what she says. 

Her link is below. Click on the red button.

African Madness and Top Model Beauty

Salamu

Being a journalist I see some SERIOULY MAD SHIT. I mean seriously mad.

My first experience of this was when I went to Zimbabwe for the first time and took an afternoon walk in downtown Harare. As useual in Africa there were a lot of stray dogs running around.

But the parity between the stray dogs and domestic dogs in Africa is usually in balance. But not so in Zimbabwe. I had to almost rub my eyes and pinch myself to see if I was dreaming when I saw people walking down the street with domesticated warthogs on leashes!

Again, when I went to the DRC the way people were scared of me fascinated me to no end. When I asked our guide what was the matter he said: “look around you my friend. How many white people do you see? And how many tall heavily built people do you see?” My height and size combined with me being white scared the kak out of these people.

Back in SA, next week is the Midmar Mile, which is a 1,5 km open water swim across the Midmar Dam. And as useual they have overseas participants as drawcards to the event.

This year will feature a man who is unique in every way.

After conquering the Amazon, Mississippi, Danube and Yangtze Rivers, Martin Strel said he is looking forward to the challenge of the world’s largest open water swimming event.

“It took me 66 days to swim the 5 268 kilometers on the river. Everyone said I was going to die, and I survived. I had escort boats that were prepared to pour blood into the river to distract piranhas,” he said.
He added that it his love for swimming that motivates him to take one what some may describe as crazy. “Swimming is one of the best ways to keep healthy, there is no pressure on the joints and it is one of the few sports where you can have fun while doing it,” he said with a smile.

But this is not the only motivation that he has. Strel pointed out that raising social awareness plays a hand in what he does.

Strel said that the reason for swimming the Amazon was to raise awareness on deforestation.

He took on the 2 888 km Danube river in 1995 at the end of the Yugoslav Wars to raise awareness of the war and the effect it had on surviving families and in 2002 after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, Strel swam 3 885 km down the Mississippi river to raise awareness on terrorism.
He added that the Yangtze (4 003 km) and Parana (3 998 km) swims were done because people said that he could not do it.

Although Stel has swam 20 042 km, there are no immediate plans to take on Africa’s giant, the Nile.
“Why must I swim the Nile? I have already swum the longest river in the world (The Amazon),” he said.
However, the debate continues as to which river is longest. According to Wikipedia, the Nile is still the longest river in the world and is only 250 km longer then the Amazon. But some experts believe that the true source of the Nile is in Ethiopia and not Burundi as is currently the case which would make the Amazon longer.

From one thing to another, I am a big fan of FHM in fact I am a HUGE fan. To me there is nothing more beautiful then admiring the female form.

I don’t usually do this, but voting is currently open for FHM South Africa’s top model and I have stumbled across a gem of a lady Adele Coetzee.

Not only is she breathtakingly beautiful, but she is the most humble person in the world as well. Every time someone pay’s her a complement on her FB profile she returns it with a thank you. A lot of guys would give their eye teeth to have a girlfriend who is as breathtaking as her with her personality. It’s like she knows she is destined for great things but is not letting it get to her head.

Those who don’t believe me please have a look at these photo’s.

Here is the link to her site on FHM South Africa! Now get voting. From time to time I get a guilty conscience telling me I need to do some work rather then vote for Adele. But that goes away very quickly when I see more pictures of her! its very easy. Just click on the vote button. YOU CANT MISS IT!
