Communication - much arch enemy
I don't just strugle to communicate with other humans on a day to day basis using my mouth speaking device - I strugle with all manner of communication.
1) Vocal mouth speaking thing - I make the sounds, people don't understand
2) Cellphone a) "can you repeat that please, you're breaking up" b) my voice mail doesn't work - I can't get it to work - no matter what I do - the network refuses my commands
3) Broadband - a mysterous error that happens to only ONE iburst subscriber. Me. Only me. I went to UUNET HQ - and it started working again. This sucks!

Evil voicemail monkey!
Okay okay - blogging is really for myself isn't it. Not for you. (Unless you is me, in which case, it is for you, because you is me).
So - my voicemail keeps on breaking. I'll be siting around - and BAM! It's broken.
So in case I forget again - here's how you do it on MTN:
**004*14#

Life's a piece of shit
I can't really say it much better than Monty Python.
"Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you."
- Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, Monty Python
So I quit my job the other day. This way I can spend more time on going insane.
Sanity. Hah! What an asinine concept. It doesn't exist. It's semantics. In the colloquial context it basically comes down to now behaving in accordance with the norms of society. But that's an old debate - nothing new - so here the thought stops.
Thing is. I'm not very good at this while interpersonal relationship thing. No really. You can care as much as you want about a lawn gnome - but at the end of the day, the gnome has it's own view on life - no amount of convincing will change it. So this shouldn't be a problem. But I can't communicate, and sometimes the gnome doesn't either. I don't understand the gnome. I can't control my urges. The result. A garden with dried up weeds and a lawn gnome with bird crap on it.
In other news - I'm cycling at Groenkloof a bit more than usual thanks to http://broodforce.blogspot.com/ Photo's? I'm lazy. Besides - no-one reads this sh!t!
