”.. if you let it, reading is this awesome subversive conspiracy between your brain and the brain of someone else who very well might be dead. It’s a little bit telepathy and a little bit emotional hallucination and no one can ever truly observe you doing it. They can watch your body pointing its head towards an object its hands are holding or that it has placed on the coffee-shop table in...
Yoh guys seriously, again?
Once again, the South African government is considering blocking the Dalai Lama from attending the 80th birthday of fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate Desmond Tutu so as not to offend China.This is of course according to opposition politicians who say that government is dragging their feet sorting out visas and alla that boring stuff. Okay, I know nobody really takes the DA seriously anyways...
Plan Your Day
And I keep lying to myself saying I’m gonna stop. Psssht.
Bianca Jagger
She isn’t just Mick Jagger’s ex-wife, responsible for their goddess offspring Jade (although alla that is super cool nstuff), no no, Bianca Jagger is way more. She is so far out wow. Nicaraguan-born (Central America. Between Honduras and Costa Rica.) she obviously took over with all that beauty and style but these she serves as a Council of Europe Goodwill Ambassador and is basically just an...
The Imposter Syndrome
“This isn’t a psychological problem. My research argues it’s a cultural phenomenon, not a psychological trait. It’s a shared learned behaviour common to high achievers — people are left on their own, competition is intense, and there’s not much of a mentor system. As a result, individuals develop an ‘impostor cycle’ — over-preparing, procrastination etc. They live in fear they won’t ever be...
But we must learn, know, write, read. We must kick, bite, yell, scream. We must pray, fast, live, dream. Fight, kill, and die free.
“Anyways “boyfriend”, the word, is depreciated like old HTML language. It’s such a peasant word. She deserves someone that will inspire a new kind of relationship that will remain nameless because it is so unique.”
“One in three of us will first see the love of our life’s face when it is illuminated by the glow of their smartphone.
Do your kids a favor and tell them it was an energy crystal. Tell them it was an age of romance and high adventure.”
I want to do this every night.
Developing my "brand" (its almost as bad as...
I feel like a sell out. Why aren’t young people taking drugs and talking about The Revolution (whichever one happens to appeal to you at this point in your life) instead of taking drugs and complaining about social networks, brands, traffic and clubs? Where are the drug dealers, hippies, artistes, musicians, and angry left-wing campus political factions? The ANC Youth League doesn’t count anymore...
Henna on hands. Sun. Best friends. Full stomachs....
That 70s Style. Wow.
I’m not sentimental—I’m as romantic as you are. The idea, you know, is that the sentimental person thinks things will last—the romantic person has a desperate confidence that they won’t. — F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise
Live and let live. Its not that difficult.
I feel calmly inflamed right now. Yes that’s an absurd paradox but its sorta like when you wanna punch someone in the ear but serenely, like just walk up to them while they’re eating their cheese and tomato sandwich or whatever people who need an ear punch eat, smile, and then BOOM. Loss of balance. Yes, that is how I feel. I was inundated by the poisons of people taking themselves too seriously...
Koren Shadmi
These blow my mind. My favourite is The Lightbulb Girl (I made that up) I’ve been staring at it for hours.
Well this is a dope display. Better than racks on...

Something To Look Forward To
“Umkhungo” is a Zulu-language series about an African superhero. Based on the trailer, it looks like the production is dope and there might be an interesting storyline. I look forward to checking it out…hopefully it’s not corny.
Ink Rider
High speed photographs by Alberto Sevesto. Whoaaah dude liiiiiiiiike a Lego surfer catching wicked blue ink waves is so totally far out. Mad cool stuff.
Lace, coral nails and of course, The Aviator Ray...
I am a chronic sunglass thief and I constantly raid my Dad’s sunglasses drawer because he is a proper connosieur. So I had been eyeing these for a while but the one arm was broken UNTIL I saved em with.. wait for it.. NAIL GLUE! Okay I lie, it didnt really work, I glued em en route to Fu Cha (more on that soon soon, some doooooope pics to be displayed like nyow nyow) and ended up glueing...
