Things To Do Before I’m 30.
Jan 14th
So, here I am, pondering my life again, deeply thinking about a lot of things that have happened recently and over the past few months, most of which are a great fuck up.I have decided to make a list of things that I want to achieve as soon as I can, preferably before I turn 30.
1) Myself and two friends are in the process of starting up a business, I have high hopes for it, it has so much potential to be successful and leave a mark, which I really want to happen. I know shit doesn’t happen over night, but I really want to work hard at this and make it happen.
2) Lose some weight, I know I said this is so cliché in a previous post, but fuck it, I need to lose a few, maybe that’s where some of my complex comes from from being tall. This will happen, soon.
3) Build my perfect house, I have it all planned out, it will be awesome. The garage especially, I might be setting my hopes a tad high here, especially if I want all this before I’m 30, but hey, what are dreams if they’re only mediocre? The house will be big, I’m not talking standard height doors and ceiling, oh no, fuck that, I’m huge, so want a huge house. The garage, this will be my pride and joy, I want to have it attached to the entertainment area / lounge with a glass wall. Picture this, three revolving stands, the middle one with a super hot, fuck off fast motor bike, which I won’t be riding, that’s just for show, then on either side of that, My everyday driving car, like a Lumina SS or a Shelby GT500, and on the other side, my race car, one that has been tweeked to perfection. All this complete with spot lights.
4) Holiday to exotic places, often. I am 25 and have never been out of South Africa. I want to see the world, sit on the beaches that you see in brochures, palm trees and all. I want to see the Eiffel Tower, Dubai, probably all the Asian countries and definitely Russia, just off the top of my head.
5) Do more crazy outrageous things, things that would probably make me shit myself and make my life flash before my eyes, which would probably be a lot of things, since I’m such a girl. I was thinking about adding bungee jumping to this, but.. after just watching a video on youtube where the cord came off the guys feet and he face planted into a dam, I think I’m gonna scratch that one off.
6) Take up a hobby and stick to it, properly. The last hobby I had was World Of Warcraft, which, I’m not going to lie, I enjoyed thoroughly, but it just got too much. I was a giant hobbit, didn’t move from my PC at all over weekends, and when I really had to go out and be sociable, I didn’t enjoy it most of the time. I’m really not sure what I’d like to do though, but definitely something that’s interactive and fun.. like.. World Of Warcraft.. Fuck. I need some ideas 
7) Leave my mark, something I, and other people can look back on for a long time to come, dunno though, maybe punch someone really famous in the face, or get involved in a high speed pursuit, kill a shark with my bare hands, balance 400 glasses on my head, I’ll have to think about this one. Preferably something that won’t get me locked up and sodomised on a daily basis.
8 ) Marriage and kids, It’s weird how times have changed, back in the day, people were married and pushing out babies by the age of 18, which is cool, if you’re financially stable and know that you’re going to spend the rest of your life with that person. I don’t want to be the 50 odd year old taking his kids to school though.
9) I said in a previous post that I want to cut down on smoking, which I really do, but also eventually stop, I’m tired of coughing up lungs, spending metric fucktons of money each month on smokes and getting winded easily.
10) Take up dancing, a few of you who really know me, know I don’t dance, ever, I don’t even remember the last time I danced, even when I was by myself. I have two left feet, and they’re big feet at that, its just never been my thing, but I reckon learning some cool latin / salsa etc would be a blast, also, I wouldn’t be the weird guy sitting at the bar or table just watching
The End.
The Past Month.
Nov 23rd
So, I’ve been out of a job for the past month or so, as much as I *love* sitting around at home doing nothing all day, I don’t, I hate it, it sometimes drives me to the point where I’m so bored, I irritate myself, and get angry ’cause I have nothing to do. I’ve sent my CV out to a bunch of places already, but I think it is a really shitty time of the year to be looking for work. Fuck. I went for an interview last week at an insurance company in Sandton, What a waste of time, I firstly had to fill out these stupid forms while sitting on a stupid couch chair thingy, that was so low to the ground my knees where behind my fucking head. This form was so pointless, I had to finish off sentences like “My family…” and “I get angry when…” etc etc, I get angry when I have to fill out pointless forms like this while sitting on your stupid tiny chair, It looks like I’m in some cheap porno and I’m waiting to get reamed by the tiny Chinese dude running around giving everyone massages. I kid you not, they call him Mister Miyagi, he is there as an incentive.. Anyhoo, after that I went through to Rebecca’s work and we had lunch together, that was nice, then got stuck in God awful traffic on the way home.
Traffic, OH MY FUCK, who ever is in charge in fixing up the roads for 2010 is a complete toss. Let me start by telling you about Great North, a road I drove every day for about 5 years to and from work, it was the best road ever, 2 lanes going each way, from Benoni all the way into Kempton Park, I have so many fond memories of that road, Craig and I driving down that road next to each other, in peak traffic, doing 40 kays an hour, pissing everyone off, plenty of races down that road too. Then, last year December someone thought it would be a great idea to change the two lanes into three lanes, they worked on the third lane for months and months, until finally, they opened it, it looked so smooth, so awesome, I doubt I will ever forget the first day I got to test the new lane out, not because it was a great drive, and there was less traffic, oh no, not with the cunts that built that road, at one point, I actually thought I was going to roll my car it was so bumpy. I hate that lane now, and I never drive in it, but that’s not the end, they weren’t happy with just fucking up one lane, over the next few months they thought it would be a good idea to fuck up the other two lanes too, I don’t know why they thought it was necessary, the third lane joined just fine, there wasn’t a pavement you had to climb to get on or off it.
The Highway, grrr! What the fuck is the point in closing off two lanes of highway for 10 kays, if you’re not going to be doing ANY fucking work there? It took me over three fucking hours to drive 69 kays on Saturday, the highway under William Nicol was closed for road works too, so 40 million cars were crammed into 2 lanes on the offramp, where the robots were not working. There was, I’m sure, very *qualified* people directing traffic, but not really, I saw two accidents almost happen because the assholes were just waving their arms around like retards. If you’re going to be doing roadworks for months and months, at least hire people that are actually qualified to do it.
I just realised I left my toothbrush at Rebecca’s house this morning, fuck, now I have to use a R2 one that is more than likely going to make me bleed. Also, I’m smoking the cheapest smokes ever, if I ever had to guess what shit tasted like, this would be it. I also threw my cousin into the swimming pool today, fully dressed, that made me chuckle, he is such a good sport when it comes to things like that.
Now, here’s a question for you, if you had R100k to start up a business, what would you do? I know it’s not a lot, but I’ve been thinking about it for a while now, I reckon a brothel would be great for 2010, but then again, how long is that going to last? Heh. I honestly have no idea. Suggestions people!
I’ve been meaning to blog for the past 2 weeks, have had so many ideas, but now, I don’t, most of them went flying out the window the minute I sat down, so, what ever.
The End. *lick*
More about me
Sep 11th
So, my names Richard and I’m an alcoholic, No wait, I’m a giant, 24 years old, living in Benoni. This blogging thing is new to me, so I guess I’ll just ramble on about things that interest & irritate me, people I love and maybe, just maybe, the ones I dislike.
I used to be a avid gamer, and by avid, I mean an addict and by addict I mean spending 9+ hours a day in front of my PC playing World Of Warcraft, weekends would be a helluva lot more than that, I think the only times I would get up would be to pee / eat or power nap. I’m so over that now, thankfully, it was a big wake-up call realizing I had sat in front of my PC for almost a full year, non stop, playing the same game. I have seen the light at the end of the social tunnel, and am REALLY enjoying it.
The earlier days – I was expelled from High school in Grade 9 (Std 7) for fighting, well, that’s what the principal called it, I still stand by my story, I pushed him, he fell over his own feet and his head broke his fall on a wall. I really do miss the old days at school, how awesome was it hanging out with your friends all day and having fuck all responsibilities? And if you were like me, not doing home work, after hanging out with your friends at school, we’d still go out afterwards to cause more mayhem. The shit I could tell you about what we got up to, Spray painting streets, stealing stop signs, shooting ice cream trucks with paintball guns, going joy riding, getting pissed, smoking weed, playing with huge fuckoff big fire crackers, blowing up random peoples post boxes, almost burning down a tree, falling out of a tree, passing out half naked, pissed, in a bath with the water running, skelem smoking and shop lifting. Good God, I could go on forever, more of that laters though, for now, I’ll still stick to more about me.
After I was expelled I went to hotel school, I always wanted to be a chef, ever since I could remember I was always helping out in the kitchen and cooking when ever I got the chance, I loved it! Hotel school was okay, small classes, crazy people, crazier teachers. We did allot of fucking around, it was still school, so we didn’t have the freedom of say, a college, where we could come & go as we pleased, couldn’t smoke etc etc. That didn’t stop us though, I remember bunking classes and sitting inside the hotel fridges, eating ice-cream and smoking. After the whole hotel school thing, I had the best intentions of trying to find a job right away, as soon as the holidays were over and I had had my fun.. which didn’t happen, I loafed around for probably a year or so before the parents got gatvol and made me find a job. I managed to find some temp job, working in the evenings doing embroidery on shirts and caps, that lasted a whole of 1 week or 2 at the max. I was then given a job in Currys Post, just outside Maritzburg as an apprentice chef, which was THE worst experience of my life! The hours were utter shit, the pay was worse and to top it off, the room I was living in was so small I could touch both sides of the room if I stretched my arms out. It was in the middle of nowhere, the only things we did after hours to keep ourselves amused was smoke weed, and allot of it. I worked there for about 4 months before packing up and heading home, I didn’t even give notice, I just said “I’m leaving” packed up my crap and left the next day, fuck them. That put me off wanting to be a chef, I will never do it again as a profession.
I came back to Jozi, and fucked around some more, saying I was looking for work and going for “interviews” all the while spending that time at friends houses playing games and drinking copious amounts of booze. I eventually got a job through a friend, which is where I’m still working, I wont get into that just yet, too much to talk about.
I’m tired and frankly can’t think of anything more to say. Stay posted
