@pmbguy - naai ou broer, ik het iers gecheck of sy al daai voortanne het voor ek haar by die duer ingelaat het. Ik het gevra hin die interview of innigeiemand inne haar family n corolla, taz of n honda civic ry, of sy haar goue tanne in haar handsak hou. Sy se toe naai my larney, ons is nie vannie die kjape flats nie, ons ry n cresidda en onsse valse tanne hulle issie goud of chrome nie, hulle is sommer wit van my uncle met die Mica store se dulux enamel. Ekke het haar toe sommer net daar gehire want sy was net so bietjie off-white, like egshell white djy wiet! enne sy het ok sommer sooo n lyfie aan haar wat sal maak dat gatiep sy electric eel sal peg in die sea sand as hy vanne die skuit af klim na n wiek by die sea!

Let me tell you, that you lady rocks....I just love having her around...

Tec0 - say after me - 'I am the master of my own destiny' - nobody forces you to do anything, you choose your life. There are simply too many people who attained happiness and contentment from misery to believe that it is simply God's will that you have a k@k life.

You life is k@k because you believe it to be so. You need to learn that happiness is not something out there that you will attain one day, no, it is something within yourself that has nothing to do whatsoever with your circumstance in life. This is what happiness is in simple terms; being thankfull for what you have, accepting hardship as oppertunities to learn and accepting the good things that come your way with grace and humility.

Whinging and whining serves no other purpose than to annoy those around you - most people avoid negative people like the plague.

tec I'm afraid it is exactly like Adrian has put it. You are the master of your own destiny ! From your postings it sounds as if you around 23-28 years old, live in the North west Province, or probably a small town in Mpumalanga somewhere, so you don't get to see the big city lights very often. But you do need to make it happen yourself. If a person says they cant then they have to accept wherever you are on the life ladder. And we all cant be Bill Gates, but we certainly will fit in somewhere in the ladder. One cannot either say that they are stuck in a job. Everyone has the opportunity to improve themselves (and money is NOT a reason to not study) and neither is age a reason to not study ! We see many a candidate here that has no transport and no money, but walks for miles and finds the means to study. Adrian is also right when he says that people do not want to be around negative people any more. There is absolutely NO reason to whine. Make it happen, take time off to make it happen, study further if that is what is needed. It is NOT your employers fault if you do not make it happen and neither is "time" the reason why you cannot further yourself. Those are merely excuses to not make it happen and then subsequently for people to whinge about it.

Port St Johns, Wild and beautiful

Go to Kokstad and stock up on good tasty (non-grain fed) meat and biltong. Then go to Port St. Johns. Tour around take your time 1Beach 2 and 3rd Stunning! Amazing! The accommodation is great from tents to self catering chalets. I love the place. There are hot natural springs up a path, amazing (except for the fact that it smells a bit like fart in the spring pools). Poens Kop and landing strip, huge blowholes, huge forests, the river, huge beautiful lagoon in the huge forest. Ask a local shop keeper for directions if need be. Stay at least 4 days!
Second beach has a beautiful beach and lots of nearby general accommodation. I like Bololo, they have both camp and self catering chalets. Right by da beach ...Boooyyi. A handy bottle store right by the gate, very convenient. Negotiate with the cray fish boys and get yourself 2 nice big lulandla kalankala ......mmmmmm
Fishing, sea and lagoon at 1rst beach and everywhere. The river is navigable Kilio’s up the lagoon. There will be places to hire small craft, it’s worth it
Always take water and food with you if you go jungle exploring though. Some beaches are no go swim areas. There is allot of wildlife around, beautiful, but there is also active sharks activity areas, but it’s all good, just look for swim areas.
Port St John’s is a town in beautiful surrounds it is busier than the rest of the wild coast, but still not very busy......if you explore further it gets even better....there are places you can wake up on the beach, backed by forest and smooth grassland extending into the sea, where you can skinny dip in the sea, nobody around, beach forever, beach campfires and cold beers

@pmbguy- You know, the most problematic thing about being an ACE is being able to hold multiple conflicting ideas simultaneously. It is like being able to drive in multiple directions at the same time. The problem is not that the ideas are opposed to one another but rather that the ideas have so much merit that a resolution is near impossible. Could it be that the questions arise because we are able to make the best of whatever route we choose and whatever the outcome?

The most troubling question to me is this; when one looks at a work of art and is able to fully appreciate that work; are you appreciating the art, are you appreciating your perceptions or are you appreciating your ideals.

Wouldn't it be so much simpler to go through life with one mind blindly following whatever path that mind chooses rather than having multiple points of view.

Please don't mistake my morbid personality for being "jannie jammergat" And just because you believe it doesn't make it so. My morbid-self is part of who I am and how I see the world. I draw my inspiration from it and I see the world trough it. I worked hard and end up on the wrong side of the track. It happens, I am dealing with it as best I can. That said I am prohibited by the guidelines set on this forum to tell you what gives me true joy. What I live for...

The truth is Adrian the difference between you and me is only two days... Now as you also read a lot of science stuff and dabble in other such related aspects you will know what I mean by this.

That said I concluded who you friend is
