Verbasend staan ek stil, my eie lewe, die van 'n dromer. 'n Gedagte wat vir agt minute in my kop rond karjakker. Hierdie gedagte 'n spruit van 'n wete. Potjiekos vir die siel in hierdie wete.Naasteliefde lê wel vêr, maar in hierdie liefdebande word jy groot. 'n Tyd van kompos en eie voete vind, 'n glimlag in die son want ek weet mos, sy abba my soos haar eie kind. Twee jaar oud had hy nou, die

I knew it was going to be a good one when it started with a story beginning with "once my grandmother went to Thailand." It started in Miami. Two crazy people staying with others....sort of similar minded, but yet completely different. Only words come to my head: Sushi, Lincoln, Sushi, Delano, Sushi, Bacardi, Sushi, White, Sushi, Beach, Sushi, Photos, Sushi. oh....cruise, sushi. Yes, it involved

It definitely has been a while since I last wrote on here, and to be fair, I've had a lot of fun while not writing. I was living it up in Pensacola beach, tangoing (if there is such a word) with a beautiful dutch girl on the beach, and had the best food in the states. Life back at Olemiss is good. I am working right now (guess you can guess how much i am actually doing right now) at the Alcohol

Have you ever walked in your favorite shoes till your feet feels the gravel through the soles? And what happens then? You are sad because you have to chuck them. This thought brought to my attention that so many people walk their soles off and buy new ones....what I'm getting to is that we don't really appreciate the ability to walk. I was thinking of a good friend and great person in a

Conversation. Chinese. Conversation. Arabic. Conversation. Hebrew. Conversation. German. Conversation. American. I am for the first time in my life realizing how much I am learning at this point and time. I am influenced by so many cultures and lifestyles, and the term I can think of that describes towards what I am heading is "world-wise." Not only do you learn about other cultures, but you

Today I feel like boiled water. Yesterday I made the mistake of going to the pool at 12pm. It was a bit cloudy, and I haven't really before tested this American sun, but I thought that it should be fine, because it is cloudy and not really that hot. STUPID MISTAKE! I am red to my ears and burning up every second. haha. I guess I am lucky that I have someone to care that brought me some really

A good thing happened this week! I took one of my paintings to a gallery on the square in Oxford, and they liked it! They said that if I paint more they would hang it! Guess what I am doing next week....

I am still on a plane...somewhere in the world....this holiday home felt like seconds....and yet I am still in this merely awake state of being in America. I guess I am somewhere on a plane...flying...dreaming. To be back in Oxford is fun....on the one hand...academics is taking its toll, but somehow I tend to always entertain myself....even if it is summer break and me and my class mates are

I know that life has taken some twists and turns since I've been writing here, but believe me it was good. I am now on holiday for three weeks in SA. SA welcomed me with sunshine and a tear. I am happy. I was home for about 4 days, then left with a good friend to Cape Town to stay with three other friends that took almost a week off work, and one flew up from Jo'burg just to spend the week with

Smile. A smile. A permanent smile. An everlasting smile that makes people think that you are the most happiest living creature in the universe. What if there was a second of sadness? What if there was a month of sadness? The eyes show it you know!We were in Atlanta this weekend. Not the greatest city I've ever been in, but it was good to see. We were in the Coke meuseum (and yes I've tasted 39 of

Stop, think and realize that all was done in only one week. The past week was one of the most fast-paced weeks I've had in my life. So much happened in one single week. I am exhausted at this moment, but I would not want this week to be any different. First of all, my family shared this week with me. I am shocked and amazed by the energy my parents still have. There were times that I felt I cant

We sat the other day in BBKing bar in Beale Street in Memphis. A great jazz band playing and a little dance floor. Two old couples are dancing on the little dancefloor while the rest of the place is packed. One old guy with a walking stick also decided to join the people dancing. Seeing old people dance is funny, yet so fulfilling in a way. It is good to see people still having fun at that age.

Last week Thursday night at round about 1am an idea came up to go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. This idea took flight in the heads of 5 of us, and planning started. We left Oxford on Friday at about 5:30 pm, and arrived at where we were staying (in a parking lot of a hotel that some other friends were staying in) at round about 12:30am. We then decided to make best of the time we had and decided

Its crisp outside....i feel the cold burn my skin.....definitely not a birds singing South African valentines....Nick, Jesse and me went to the international valentine's party (yes...what were we thinking.....for the very desperate people) walked in and turned around immediately. There was about 6 people in total, a valentines balloon floating alone in the room and a guy doing karaoke on his own

So, last night after a long day of running around, chasing air, struggling to find a way to better my education and become a more successfull South African, I sat down with two guys from Jerusalem and had coffee and played cards. After a few rounds of cards and conversation where most of the time my response was "repeat that again" and try to fill in their sentences with words that makes more

So, for the first time in my life, I was actually in a town where it snowed and I could actually see the snow on the ground. Yes, for some people this fact is shocking, but remember that Mossel Bay is the place in the world with the second most average climate. Not much snow there.Life in Oxford at the moment is funny. So much stuff is happening and I am just taking ground. I think that it is

New York, Mexico......what can a poor South African bum say about that experience?! I have not been writing on the blog because the enjoyment and busy times kept me from it. New York is a city of not much physical beauty, but the best vibe ever. I had a great time there....mostly spent with an Austrian and Greek-South African friend. Yes we did all the sight seeing stuff like tourists, but also

Didi and I arrived in NY on the 12th of December. We flew into White Plains, which is about an hour away from New York City…..yes because this is the cheapest tickets we could find. Being two poor students….we did not want to pay $30 for a taxi to the train station, so we sat in the airport debating what to do. I went to go get a drink at a little café in the airport and started talking with the

This semester has come to an end and still I have not yet realized what I have experienced. I guess the fact that I am soaking up so much make me feel like everything happens so quick. This semester I have met great people...people from different origins...cultures....traditions and laughs. I have met someone who started crawling closer in my heart, I have met friends whom I honestly think I will

So....some random day last week in a random place in the university in a random bathroom, there was this random toilet! The toilet...for no particular reason (as it was definitely not a disabled toilet)......was higher than the others. I sat on it and my feet merely touched the ground. I had a reflection on being young....had lots of inner laughs.....and just thought it good to share with you! :)

So, everything is really going great with the new fraternity we have created! We are planning parties, charity events, etc etc. We got an article in the local daily paper about our fraternity which explains everything, and last week we got a shortened article in the SPORTS ILLUSTRATED! It is crazy how big this thing is turning out to be. Even the LA Times also wants to interview me and the vice

So about two months ago, a crazy austrian guy called Florian came up with an idea that we should create our own fraternity/sorority for the international students. He came up with the name the awsome dudes fraternity, and so we decided to use the greek letters alpha delta for our fraternity......we took it a bit further and introduced the idea to the university.(yes, we know it sound crazy!) But,

When you start your monday with an art class, you just know that the day is going to be good. This weekend we had a really chilled out weekend, and on friday we went to Tupelo (a bigger town about an hour from here) to go do some shopping. So there really is not a lot of news on the afrimerikaner, but here is some cool photo's:Didi, Me and Garreth Muath, Anmar, Didi, Me and GarretThe model home

Ok, so here I was thinking I should write a short piece on how it feels to be here, knowing that the days will start to get cooler, and hearing from people back at home.....the days getting bit warmer day by day......and BAM!......the weather change from 24 degrees yesturday to 11 today! And it feels like being in England with the really cold wind that makes your nose run. For this week, actually

So life was (and is till tomorrow) a bit busy the past couple of days. Let me start with last thursday. Was a bit stressed with having my first exam in the us of a, but in the end it was ok. The fact that we have to get 80% for the course to pass makes it quite tough. Friday we decided that academic life should be paused for the next two or so days. I slept in till about twelve, had a lazy day,

So I had severe bronchitis as the doctor described it, but feeling lot better now. My roommate invited me to the beachhouse for the weekend, but I could'nt go as I have 2 papers to write, a painting to finish and an exam next thursday. Oi! I would have love to go, but hey its life.The empty promises of my fortune cookie and the guy at the garage that I would have my car this week also did not

Today is the first day that I feel I am actually doing something being at work on campus. I am really learning a lot from this job, and its great. Now I understand websites, and who knows, afrimerikaner might just get a face lift in the near future. So, this weekend we decided to not go out (yes, we did go out Friday) to town, so we stayed in Saturday night just watching movies and the new series

Thank you everyone for leaving comments on the previous situation. Unfortunately for the people who tried to change the situation, the situation is a given and its either or. The next situation is very similar, but you have a train approaching and is headed for 5 people on the track. You stand infront of a lever and can choose to let the train change tracks to a track with only one person on it.

So! I hav'nt been updating for a while because I was too busy having fun. On last thursday we decided to go out for one drink, and ended up seeing a great band that contributed "in the jungle" to the South African guys. It was a blowing insturment band, and it was awsome! Check out the photo's below. On friday it was one of the English guy's 21st birthday, and you all (or shall I say y'all) know

Ok, I need your comments on this one. Tell me what you would do in the following case:It involves a runaway trolley, five helplesspeople on the track, and a large-framed man looking on from afootbridge. He may or may not be about to tumble to his bloody demise:You get to make the call.That's because in this scenario, you are standing on the footbridge,too. You know that if you push the large man

Today I learnt the technique of making certain objects in a painting look warm or cool. Learning stuff like this make me feel good.My fortune cookie said: "Talent and creativity are yours to use and keep."

In my life I have never seen so much rain pooring to the earth as at this moment. I am a bit afraid, but the people here seem calm and normal, so I take it its ok. Today is the first day at work, and I think I will enjoy it.

"Pain is not a bad thing, it is simply something one attempts to avoid." my fortune cookie said. So I will go against what "one usually attempts to" and go to the gym today, and also do the three assignments I need to do!

So friday afternoon me, the other two saffa guys and some american dudes decided to go for a beer. We got stuck and at the end of the night, not one of us was together and we each found a way to get home from town on our own......it was such a funny night. I decided to update you a bit with pictures of the people I've been hanging out lately. Its mostly the international students. Saturday night

Yesturday I had a strange and weird day. Everything was good, and somehow I could get myself to feel happy. I then just decided to be. Just to take the day as it comes. I had a great first class. The lecturer was nice, and he was this propper counsellor with the calming voice and the we are here to serve you attitude. It was good. At about 3 o'clock this morning, I was woken up by someone

Yesturday, for the first time since I came here, a little bit of rain poured down. But don't think the heat dissapears when the rain come na'ah! Our Saffa's was walking in the rain, and it was great....the smell of the wet ground......feeling the drops on your skin.....man I loved that moment! It lasted for about 5 mins. I am going to write a piece now in Afrikaans, because there is some things

Today classes began, and I went to the 8h00 art class! (Yes I am taking an art class because we I am allowed to take another class.....and in afrikaans....."as dit pap reen moet jy skep!")My counseling classes are all evening classes, and they start tomorrow. Think I will enjoy that because its not in the heat during the day. OK, let me continue what I am suppose to do, and leave you now with a

Friday I met my roommate, really cool guy. Saturday morning, all the international students took a trip to Graceland. What an experience! It was really cool...to walk through the house of such a famous person....it was an honor! For some reason, the photo uploader for my website does not work, so I'll fill you in with some photo's a bit later. Last night we went to buy some beer at Wallmart......

Ok, I know it's a bit too many photo's, but I did'nt know what to post and what not to. Earlier I could'nt say this because he was in the room, but my roommate sounds just like Elvis when he speaks....sooo funny! He is a really nice guy though. Ok, start the tour of Graceland, and when you're finished, tell me what you think, and also how you are. I need to go sleep seeing that I have class at 8

Today the other guy's in my dormitory moves in. This morning when I walked down the hall, there were people moving HUGE flatscreen tv's, Hifi's etc. into their small rooms. And for the first time I felt really poor........but the strange thing about it is that its ok, I sort of like it that way. Personally I think everyone must experience this....to live as a bum.....because it keeps you down to

We had our international student orientation today.........bit boring! For those of you who know Meiring, it was like him teaching Maths. Everything is spoonfeeded. Sometimes it is just better to be thrown in into the deep end, but I am still grateful.....at least now I know everything I possibly need to know about being an international student. After that we had a lunch in the food quarters

Yes, that my friends, is correct. I had a 41 hour trip from london to mississippi. . .and on the most crucial part (flight from london to miami) my entertainment system of my seat did not work! OK, let me begin by telling you about the flights. We were stuck on the runway at heathrow for 6 hours, which lead to missing flights and delays in the flights I got. American airlines serve Pizza on their
