Earth Hour 2008
I found this website and I really like the idea that is proposed. On 29 March this year at 20:00 I along with millions of other people will be switching off all power to my home for an hour.
I will also ask permission from my boss to allow me to shut down all power to our offices at the same time.
We all think that we can do nothing to help save this plant and help it restore itself but we are wrong. We can do something and that something is to help make everyone aware of the plight we are in and to each start to make small changes that eventually on mass make up a big change.
Currently we are living with constant load shedding in South Africa so we are all quite prepared to go for an hour or two a day without electricity. What is we all did an Earth Hour a day? ..... Everyday ...... voluntarily ....

Eight years ago....
I just walked past the old big tree outside Pirates in Hout Bay and memories came flooding back, of the exact night eight years ago, when I stood under the same tree talking to my mother, who was in hospital at the time, using my cell phone .
All those years ago I was upset because neither my mother, nor my Grandmother (who was also in the same hospital) had remembered that it was my birthday that day. When I pointed it out to my mother, she was so upset that she could possibly have forgotten.
I cannot remember much else about that day except to say that I probably walked back into Shananigan's which is what Pirates was called back then, got drunk and used drugs. Back then I was a self-centred, childish, using drug addict who could only think of himself. I was hardly a son that a mother could be proud of although my mother was somehow incredibly proud of me. I had hidden my addiction away from her for years. I hid it from everyone, especially those closest to me.
As I walked past that same tree tonight, I felt happier in the fact that I have been a recovering drug addict for over 5 years and someone I feel could now make a parent proud.
Sadly my mother passed away twelve days after that phone call and has not been around for any more of my birthdays. On days like this I miss both my mother and my grandmother.
So if you still have your parent around....Go hug them now!
If you are troubled by addiction...feel free to come talk to me anytime....

Ryan's Braai
Ryan's family went away on holiday so he decided to have a braai for all his friends. It was great fun with Wayne and I having to throw Eon into the pool for some rather rude comments about Wayne and me.
Anyway it was really great fun. Looks at the pictures and enjoy yourself. We did!

Rezonance - New Year 2007
This New Year we decided to go as a large group to the 4 day and 4 night outdoor Trance Festival held on a farm at Theewaterskloof.
We went a day early to ensure that we got a good camping spot. I actually think we might have been a little far removed from the action but at only 500m away it was still pretty close.
I found the organisation really great and the sound rig was awesome. However I think using the main stage for the bands and swapping it over later for trance did not really work for me.
I was also dissapointed that the Hot showers were NOT hot and that the "pay-to-use" luxury showers were not properly manned and thus even people who had not paid were using them and thus they got really dirty. Many were often out of commission creating large queues.
The trance was awesome and had me dancing for many hours at a time.
I think next time I would like our camp to be closer to the trance stage so that the music can call me to dance.
