THE DREAM BEGINS WITH….
The dream begins with a teacher who believes
in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau,
sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called 'truth.’
- Dan Rather
That’s a beautiful statement and one
that I believe in.
Unfortunately, it’s not that easy
in life as we know it today.

The first question is ‘Is the teacher qualified?’
Our first teachers are our parents.
It’s probably too late to question if they were qualified,
but it is not too late to make sure that you are qualified
to teach your children, and that all future teachers are
too.
The next question is ‘Who is the pupil.’
Sometimes the child is more qualified to teach the parent.
Remember that you are never too old to learn, or as the
holy books say ‘Seek knowledge from the womb to the
grave.’
The third and probably the most profound
question in relation to the above statement is ‘What
is truth, and is it unchanging law?’
I leave you to ponder your own truths.
And then there is another question.
Is the job of the teacher not to teach the pupil
to use his or her own mind and then go on to become
a student and develop wisdom?
Did wisdom perhaps get lost in knowledge?
Or is that too confusing?

BIZARRE RABBIT CRUSH FETISH:
People are weird. I know that. But just how weird they are never
ceases to amaze me. Disgust me.
I’m almost too disgusted to post this on my site.
Well, there is no reasonable point,
except maybe to further nurture and spread a healthy disgust
for how sick human beings are capable of being.

RECIPE FOR SEAFOOD PAELLA:
Before we rush into the kitchen to cook, let’s clear up
the pronunciation thing.
It is pronounced pah-el-ya, but the first L is pronounced in
a rather complicated way where the tongue does not actually
touch the pallet. So it sounds closer to pah-eh-ya.
Got it?
Let’s
cook! |

CONFUSE THEIR TONGUES AND RULE:
I often bitch about the fact that we have eleven official languages
in SA, claiming that it a sure-fire way to ensure that we never
understand each other and a powerful deterrent to racial harmony
and a united nation.
I had no idea that Nelson Mandela and the ANC were simply following
a divine strategy to remain in power well into the future.

2OUENSVIBE: WORK IS A HOLIDAY.
LIVE THE SIDELINE: I emerged slowly, irritably,
from a troubled sleep, to the incessant beeping of my cellphone.
Seventeen ‘please call me’s’ from the angels
in Koeberg Road.
I knew instinctively what this meant.
TBG sighting!

THE ROOT OF THE DUMB BLONDE THEORY:
Curious as to the origin of the ‘Dumb
Blonde’ theory, I went on an online investigative rampage.
The explanation that makes the most sense has its roots in ancient
times. It also explains quite a few other popular theories about
blondes
