In Case You Blinked

Every so often, I come across a link or a website, or even a story on the interweb that has me shake my head and leave me speechless.
That's no easy task.. leaving ME speechless.

I thought I'd share a few with you.

An article that appeared in the Daily Telegraph , Australia.
UN To Appoint Earth Contact For AliensSeriously?
There's now an official department at the UN that will handle "First Contact" from aliens. I wonder how they spend their days while waiting for the arrival of the aliens?
Who pays these people to sit and wait for aliens?
Are they testing "probes" while awaiting the UFO's?

Then there was the news report I heard on the radio earlier today, which I thought was a hoax.
So I googled it.
Well, it wasn't a hoax after all.
The Chief Minister of India, Sheila Dikshit, was interviewed regarding her countries hosting of the Commonwealth Games. I have no idea what the interview was all about, as I was still stuck on her name.
Since I know you probably don't believe me, I thought you might like to check out her profile .

Sheila Dikshit.
Now there's a name you don't want rolling of your tongue.


Bugger... I lost the second half of this post when my laptop suddenly froze!
AARRGHH!!|
Oddly, or coincidently, it had to do with David Icke and his conspiracy theories.
Have you visited Above Top Secret yet? It's an awesome site for those who love questioning and still don't believe the answers, even if there aren't any.
Another awesome site for politically motivated theories and opposing views is Counter Punch . I've been following this site long before the internet even came into existence.

For something totally random that will have you shaking your head and going "Now THAT I didn't know", my friend Paige links to a really cool blog called Goatville . Definitely worth a visit.

Somebody told me about this website dedicated to exposing cheaters and liars in relationships, called Don't Date Him Girl . Well I visited the website expecting to find pics and stories of almost every guy on the planet since Adam, but was rather disappointed to find that it was a rather boring site after all. I really was expecting some tittilation, like expecting to see your best friend or boss featured on the site.
Rumour has it they had to remove all the profiles of the cheating guys, because there were too many pending lawsuits.
Some people know just how to suck the fun out of a good old fashioned slander.

Right then.... I spent over an hour on my blog when I should have been meeting deadlines for reports.
I will now begin gnawing at my wrists in an effort to keep me away from my laptop.

2000 Visitors!

2000 Visitors to the blog in just 4 months.
Wow!
I'm humbled.

I've prepared a little acceptance speech. Please bare with me...

I'd like to thank everyone I've ever met in my entire life (courtesy of Julia Roberts).
I'd like to thank the genius behind the blogs design, Irfaan Imamdin. *applause*
I'd like to thank the only visitor & commentator on my blog, who I suspect has visited the blog 2000 times! Shameema "Ema" Dharsey.

Last but certainly not least, I'd like to thank the following people in no particular order, for having played an integral part in my upbringing and moulding me into the man I am today...
* Playdough USA
* Martin Luther King (Jnr & Snr)
* Bob Marley
* The Hobbits from Lord Of The Rings.
* The cashier at the local Spar
* My mom.

Apologies if I have left anybody out.

Forward and onward to 10 000!!!

The Blog Patrol

I finally got to check out the SA Blog Awards website and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of bloggers out there.
It made me realise 3 things.
1) If I want to enter and win next year, I need to up my game
2) I also need to include more pictures on my blog
3) Preferably of me in the nude, since sex does sell.

The winner of the personal blog category has a really cool blog with lots of colourful drawings and pics. She's got a cool name too which always helps, Che. Cool name huh!

I checked out the overall winners blog too, but it was in Afrikaans and while I speak the language, I don't really read it too well.
I googled a translator and ended up on a Japanese porn site. Not the kind of translator I had in mind.
The pictures were fun though.
(on the blog, not the Japanese porn site)

If Harry Potter had a blog I'd follow him. Even if only because he seems like he's always high on weed, which makes him fun to be around. I've never been a Harry Potter fan. Neither have I ever been a Star Wars or Star Trek fan. I can't even tell the difference between the latter two. I know Darth Vader stars in one of them, and my favourite line is "Look, I'm not your fudder". That's as far as my fan-knowledge goes.



Here's my list of people I wish were bloggers so I could follow them, in no particular order, and for no reason other than I'd love to see what is going on inside their heads.

1) Harry Potter *as mentioned above*
2) Chuck Norris
3) Julius Malema
4) Ghandi
5) Saddam Hussein
6) Shrek
7) Pinnochio
8) Tupac Shakur
9) Marilyn Monroe
10) Santa Clause

Well, there you have it.
Incidently, those are also the 10 people I'd most like to have seated around my dinner table.
There's a few questions I'd like to ask each of them, the most common being "Seriously.. what were you thinking?!"
