Ryan's Bachelor Party

What? What’s that? You want to eat my Star trooper? Wow – I feel good. Nurse, I love you. You are awesome. Why can’t she talk properly? Stop mumbling. Maybe she is a special nurse, for special cases? Am I special? But I don’t understand why am I special? Oh kak, I am brain damaged! Geez like it I am hungry…Ooh – look how soft this cotton wool is!


Morphine is awesome.

The German Dark Side

Sitting at the traffic lights on the corner of Amsterdam and Swartbos with the German tech motor purring away. Left foot on brake, right foot to bring the revs up just a little and hold her there.

First Day, First Luck

It’s a beautiful and crisp winter’s morning in Sunny Witbank in mid May 2010. With sub-zero temperatures, sleet carrying winds, frost bitten ears and teeth so cold that plaque doesn’t grow I headed out from my parents’ house and into my Alfa at 06:00am. Yes, Witbank Winter is indescribably unpleasant but that didn’t get me down. It’s a beautiful day because I finally got a job again…Hmm…Why is my Director calling me? This can’t be good…
