I'm Out

Aight guys, that's it. I'm packing up my bags and I'm out this motherphucker! I've had a great run for the year of Two Double Oh Six. I'm still amazed at how big Fluffy Dice has grown in readership in just 8 months alone. I mean I came into this just trying to pass my time by and try a little something different with blogs. Hell to be honest I didn't even know what a blog was 8 and a half months ago. I figured I would be able to fly under the radar and go on unnoticed but then next thing you know, BOOM! I got my shit up there and then the masses are coming in to check it out are feeling it. Well, masses, right back at ya! Good looking out on all the support and shit. It's been good fo' true!

You're probably wondering why I'm talking all goodbye stuff right? Well this is my goodbye post for 2006. Hell maybe even forever, cause I'll be moving up to Cape Town next year and this here blog will be a whole lot harder to keep up and running that side than it is up here. Please dont be dissapointed though, I'll try my bestest to keep you all in the loop. So with that said...


HAHA! So I'm going to be going up to Mozambique for the holidays and maybe even go further up North. Then it's back home to Cape Town to start a whole new life. If you want to know, I'm going to do the full on Varsity thing and be a proper student ie. broke as fuck! It's something that I've missed out on since I went straight into work as soon as I left school and never got to experience it. And this is as good as anytime. Oh, and phuck you if you dissing!

So I'd like to wish you all a happy Happy Christmas and a Merry New Years from me. Hope its rawkus and that you lie cheat and steal! Lie down and shit, cheat death and shit, steal away hearts and shit. I'll see you and laFluffel on the flip side!

PS - If anyone wants to hang out on Friday the 15th of December then go check out the Ostendo blog for the blogger meet that's being organised. I'm gonna be there and all(well at least most) of the people on the right --> will be there too. So pull thru and shout us a holler if you in the J-Section!


Peace and Hair Grease
Tshovitsho!
Sho sho
And. I'm. Out.

Blinded By The Lights

So I went a bitjie big on Friday. Yeah actually I went EXTREMELY big. You can't really blame a brother can you? I mean I had a lot of things to be happy about. I mean there was the innerview on SAfm(which went pretty well I think) and also cause it's December and also that I'm going on holiday to Mozambique soon and that I'm having a solid good time with a certain somebody *wink* *wink*. Yeah I guess a lot of them are small things but like they say it's the small things that count right? So I had to go big. But lemme warn you before hand, there aren't many pics cause I was really not on camera duty! I'm neglecting my responsibilties nowadays. Alas, this be what the gonzo!

PS - I also found out that I have about 60 new readers on Fluffy Dice one of which is parent of a friend and also a blogger. ???. Anyway, welcome guys sit back, relax and peruse at your pleasure. Oh and in case you were wondering, I wont be changing myself or my style of writing for nobody even if I do have more readers so don't expect me to change for shit! Hell I'm just excited and amazed that people give a hoot about what I do. Anyway let's get on with the post. Holleration!



So check this out, I'm going to give you one guess as to what this is...Come on now try and guess.
No luck? Okay, brace yourself. This, my friends, is see Glass Rizla. Yes you heard me correctly, Glass Rizla. What does that mean you ask? Well to put it bluntly(he he he) it's see-through Rizla!!! I was amazed myself! What will they come up with next? So I was meant to go to some place out in Sandton but then I got home and got KTFO as soon as I put my ass on the couch! So I got up and went to grab a beer at the local drinking hole. Where I bumped into Sedi who I haven't seen in like...forever! She's just back in JHB to visit family for the holidays. We go back like to High School and what not. Anyway so I was with my main partner in crime. Check out the Missy Elliot grill I got on. HAHA! And then he came out and wanted to catch a motherphucker with a game that I started. So I said to him: "Come on guy, if you wanna pull out the tricks then don't go around the corner and try be all sly about it. Bring it for real homie!" HAHA! Not bad. Shit, it looks like you caught your parents shagging or something. LOL! I would have that kinda face if that happened to me, not to mention be scarred for life!
But I'm the master of this shit dude! You can't fuck with me when it comes to this ya'mee!?!?! HAHA! Anyway we continued the evening and I will admit that I got extremely crunk. So crunk in fact that I neglected my obligation to hook up with a coupla people who were really mad at me for not having hooked up with them. So guys, if you're reading this then just know that from the bottom of my heart that I'm sorry. Well not REALLY but just to make you feel better, we'll do it officially soon neh? Sharp sharp! HA HA, I keed! No for real, my bad. So we also hooked up with Obiwan Kenobi who was also looking for the vibe but to no avail so we were fresh outta luck. This cat is like the most unlikely Joburger ever. A Capetonian in Joburg exterior. Anywya so got to do more chilling, shooting the shit and making fun of this, that and the third. So check this right, I'm not going to get into detail but I really REALLY fucken hate the gate-keepers at the Bowls. Officially! Fucken pricks! Almost make me wanna boycott the whole place! I've bitched and moaned 'nuff times now, I've had it with those sonzabitches! I'm plotting some sweet sweet revenge. Ah yes, it's going to be great! So we decided to get the fuck outta there and this fool thought he could catch me with the WTF but I brought the beat back quick and fast! Nah cat, you gonna have to wake up pretty early in the morning to pull a fast one on me! HAHA! This was Sofa King Funny! So we were discussing what would you do if you got into some or other type situation where you had to bail quickly and the car was in your way? Or if you found some squint guy just blasting shots in every direction and you had to duck. Or if you got caught at some girl/guys house that you weren't meant to be at. Or...well you get the idea. What are you going to do? The Magnum P.I. dive!!! There to get get you out of the stickiest of situations. HAHA! I was rolling on the ground after Twiggle showed me this! He's proper perfected that shit, like he's been practicing it forever. HAHAHA! Anyway we were almost about to go home then we got a call that it was on and popping out in Newtown. And boy oh boy was it on. So we went through and this is all the blacks getting down and drrrty. Locked and loaded buddy!
More blacks getting down and dirty. HAHA! Check how we both got this guy at the same time.
KB was also in the house. Ain't seen this cat in a long ass while! He proper cut cats off when he came to Jozi. It's all good player, I ain't mad at ya. But when the tables have turned? So I gave the camera responsibilities to Twiggle for the rest of the night and the next coupla pics are his. I think Bee was was trying to break down into a gangsta prison pose... ...but then I busted in that joint and showed her 'zactly how it meant to be done. HAHA! Hosh nogolosh! Wie is jy in die dronk jou ma se ****!!! HAHAH! Twiggle and his guy-friend. I'll be honest, I forgot your name dude but if it's any consolation you were a cool guy.
So next day I check the pics from the day before and I notice that for some or other reason there was just a huge dude-fest on my cam. WTF Twiggle? Why you taking so many guy pics dude, are you trying to tell us something? HAHA! I'm not going to post up all the rest. This one is enough.
Oh shit, I also bumped into DJ Gumede in the mix too. Funny ass guy! So I met theses young girls there. I'm not trying to say anything cause they were 'suprisingly' entertaining, but fella's please watch out in the streets. I'll sum it up in two words: Jail bait! For real. Ask to see ID from now on cause you don't wanna go down for nothing like that yeah? Don't say I never told you! You see, now that's better right there!
Then we decided that it was time to get our asses outta there. So I'm going home and take the camera out cause I like to fuck with people on the road and pretend that the flash on my camera is the flash from a traffic light. Classic reactions I tell you. Anyway so the people we were giving a ride home asked me to take a pic of them. So I did. I'll never understand what the fascination with people wanting to have their pictures taken is. Actually nevermind that, cause I'm not one to talk seeing as I walk around with a cam all the time. Ah well... So somebody dared me that I would never put this pic up on the blog cause it's too embarassing. Well my friend I have news for you, I don't get embarassed. Purely cause I dont give a fuck what anyone ever thinks about me. So uhm pay up guy. I like my beer icy cold so fill 'er up and keep em coming.

Peaces and Outs

07 December 2006

Section Five Fashion Show

So the Verdict is in: The blogging interviews of myself and Peas will be broadcast tomorrow (Friday 8th 2006) on SAfm (104-107fm) at 12:45 in the afternoon, and again on Monday on Radio 2000 at 1.10pm. Hold thumbs for me! You can listen to the innerview by following the link here.


Anyway, so last night I went out to some fashion show vibe out at Capello's in the centre of town. I don't care what people say, I'm still not convinced that being tall and skinny automatically makes you a hottie! I mean seriously who cares what the magazines say and who listens to them anyway? And besides these model chicks take themselves WAY too fucken seriously as well. All you do is look good honey, you not exactly winning Nobel prizes or breaking any scientific barriers by discovering the inner most complexities of periodic element Boron. Anyway, lemme not get into a rant and rave about these things.
I went to the Cappello's joint. Never been to this one before but it's quite a nice setup that's for sure. Proper in the centre of town(the clean side of course)
The models were doing their ramping thing and what not. I tried to get a nice pic(or at least a not-so-blurry one) but everytime I took one my hand justy started shaking and jerking all wild-like and then I couldnt get a good shot. I might need to get my shit checked out, HAHA!
So we was like right out in Ghandi Square. Now, for your information, Ghandi Square was notorious for being the place where school kids would go to after school and get all rowdy like with themselves before the Po-Po came in and sorted all that shit out. I mean would proper play dice, shoot the heroin(and other drug shit) and actually even have live sex by the bus-stands! And these kids are in like matric and less! I mean I was a bad"ish" kinda kid but I wasnt doing shit like they were doing. Maybe deface a statue here and there or destroy gardens or even deflate tyres and shit but that's about it you know. Tsk tsk tsk...the youth of today!
Speaking of which, I then see some guy proper taking a piss right out in the middle of the joint! I rest my case. HAHAHA!
Saw my long lost mate Blackmomma and her cuz Spunky...
...looking all good with their outfits and shit.
And captures some randoms having a good time.
Sat down had a drink or two and enjoyed the people going up and down show the ramps and what-not. It would have been nice to have some finger foods there to munch on but I'm not trying to perpetuate the situation that all black people like free things. But with that said, I will also say that like a wise man one told me: If it's for free, and it for me, I'll take three!!! HAHA
Anyway after the thing was done we went through to the good ol' 88 in Norwood where we bumped into some crazy folk. I would put the person's picture up but it would probably get her into a lot of trouble. And if you are reading this lady then I want you to know that I'm more than willing to save your ass from getting into a world of trouble by publishing your pic up here but please, dont ever-ever come to my house that late again and try and hang out and be all drunk-like when I got work in a few hours. It's just not kosher! You too guy!
Laz was showcasing her masterpieces too the masses at Cappello's and came for a quick one-two afterwards. But I think she was as tired as I was.
I don't know if you've ever heard of the guys from Dub Vaults but they were doing their thing at this place. I think it was the launch of their album. I've given it a listen too, it's not bad. In a I'm-chilled-and-not-trying-to-go-out-nowhere-and-make-babies-while-smoking-bongs way. Sneed was enjoying it.
And so were the rest of the fella's. But sometimes even the most rock-n-roll guy has to call it quits sometime. And this was my time. It's okay though, the fire aint outta these bones just yet.


Peace and Hair Grease!

My Fifteen Minutes Is Up

So I just did my interview on SAfm!!! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be actually.

It'll be out and about on the national airwaves next week sometime so I'll keep you posted as to when it will come out. I'm not sure what I said or wether I even came out as a complete idiot on National Radio or whatever but have a listen if you will and lemme know what you think.

I don't know if I wanted this publicity but fuck it, its too late now. Thanks again SAfm!


PS - Mom, if you listened and just found out about my blog then just know that I was going to tell you about it eventually. Pwomise!!!

04 December 2006

Ki Di Zemba!

Tis' the season to be silly...falalalala lala la la!! Yeah so like December has officially arrived and I think I can see it in a lot of people that the season is way overdue. Cause I kinda noticed that people actually behave differently in December and are much more chilled out about shit. More friendly and willing to make friends and listen to peoples bullshit, while spitting out their own no less. Anyway, I'm feeling the season but only just a little bit. It hasn't fully kicked in yet but slowly but surely it will. I will be making my first trip out to Mozambique soon so I'm sooper excited about that shit. Just imagine all that seafood though. Mmmm! But more on that later. So like this is what I did.


Friday - The First Day Of The Month Of Goodness

Remember I was telling you guys about these people who were having a gig out at Shivava or some shit? Well I almost didnt make the whole thing after having missed out on a double date because of parental factors. No sweat though, these things happen. So me and Casual made our way......to Shivava Cafe. OMG, now this had to be one of the weirdest aesthetical experiences I have had this year.The reason I say so is because this place had the WIERDEST mix of people. Ever! It's almost like I was in a shebeen in the hood while I was in town. Now I dont have a problem with this at all really, cause I used to go to places like that all the time. The weird thing is that firstly I walked in and there was just a wall of some pungent odor as soon as I walked in, like a mixture of sweat, boiled meat and stale beer. Then, there were all these old guys who looked like they left their wives at home to mack on the big-bootied young girls. On top of that there were all the proper young chicks and all your hip hop heads too. Almost like my pals crashed on my dad's party like. Made for an interesting experience. So as soon as I walk in the place I take like one or two pics and then this guy's all like: "Nam ndiyayifuna i-stombe yami" (Please e'scuse my Zulu, its not my first language) - which losely translated means: "Take a pic of me too motherfucker or else I'm going to bother you with my beer breath till you do." HAHA! And then I hear voices behind him going: "Ke Shwashwi!!!". I had to move asap!We missed out on the American guys who performed and were apparantly very good!!! We were able to catch Two Parts Black again and some other funny ass poets. And then as we take a stroll around the place, Casual spots this guy who was KTFO(Knocked The Fuck Out) but was sitting straight up. If you look carefully behind him you'll notice that big-boned guy with the white shirt. That's him, but unfortunately due to the lack of skills in my camera I couldn't capture him properly and besides there were people around him so I couldn't fuck around with him. But Casual had a good laugh about it!Anyway, there was only so much us brother's could stand so we left the joint. Besides we had to go and pick up Sneed from the airport too so it was a good excuse to bounce too. Phew!


Saturday The Second

So I did myself some administration on Saturday around the Rosebank Mall area and went and had lunch with Pi. I tell ya what, the seafood platter at Ocean Basket is the way to go! You can't go wrong with one of those. So then I came home and watched the entire fisrt season of Entourage. What a dope show! Gave me the injection of inspiration I needed for the Summer. I recommend this to anyone, and it wouldnt make a bad christmas present either!

And then before I knew it, it was sundown and time to get out and about.

So we went through to Roka bar where there was another Party People session going down.

And Nthabi was also performing. WOW! I have to say that the female emcee's are seriously giving the guys a run for their money! This woman is amazing(She's on the right btw)! And the girl on the left was hooking up some harmonization shit which was quite tight too! The stakes is high!

Khenzero doing his thing

I was with this mofo here

And these mofo's too

Also bumped into Obiwan Kenobi too. I think he just fresh came outta hibernation, as usual - HAHAHA!

Sneed back in full effect baby! Fresh from Cape Town where he says it's on like fucken donkey kong. So I hear! Anybody from Cape Town who can confirm his sentiments?

So I had a Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card cause me-Julie had gone away for the week with her friends. So you know what that means right? I got my ass mashed!!! Why, you ask, do I wait for me-Julie to leave town and then I get drunk as hell? No it's not because I'm out there harassing girls and getting up to mischief. Not at all. Well my pedigree chum it's like this. One of the first rules in the book goes: If you have a "me-Julie" then by manly-law, you must never EVER get too drunk to not be able to get into a fight if necessary. So since I had nobody to protect and take care not to get into harms way 'cet meself, I had a gang of beer to catch up on. And for the record, I was twisted!

Anyway we kinda got kicked outta the place too cause we were drinking the place dry. On a roll of the dice we decided to go past Hellsville and see wether we'd get lucky.

No, we weren't lucky at all! Went into Trancesky and it was packed as fuck! I really hate the masses!

And then these guys were all like: "Come, like take a photo of us bru! Yeah....*drunken slurry talk*...Whoo...*spit*". Fuck. Under my breath I'm like: "You know these are going on the internet right?" Them: "Huh?!!?!" Me: "Uh...Nevermind. Smile!"

Then on a whim we decided to go past Mind Your Head like out in deep dark dungeons of the JHB city centre.

It was cool, very chilled out though.

And then I met up with some people there and one had some real interesting skull pantyhose(?) HAHAH! It's so fucked up having a bad memory cause it's like people tell you that they've met you before and you're like...erm no I don't think so. But of course you're wrong because they probably have met you and can recall it instantly and you're just a bad person for not remembering. My bad memory is going to get into serious trouble one of these days.

And then as we were bouncing we bumped into some cats getting into a battle outside. You know what this is right? It's just getting the tongue sharper and slicker. No matter where you go it's all the same. Cape Town, Joburg, New York, Berlin. We all trying to get a record deal innit?

But it's always all good, cause its never on some beef, it's all friendly fire. I've never understood that term "friendly fire" either. I mean you gonna shoot at me and kill me in a "friendly" way?Anyway...nevermind.

Oh So Very Sunny Sunday

So like I didn't really realise how late(and drunk) I was the night before but I was asleep until about 3 in the noontime on Sunday. My stomach was growling hungrily so I got on the horn and hollered at my boy and we went on our way to get some chow.

With Nita riding shotgun and her new hairdo! I tried to sneak in a photo of her but she wasn't having none of that!

So we went to Alexandra to...

...mother fucken Bra Joe's Tshisa Nyama! Sure he's a prick and sells his beers for too much, but his meat is dope! I mean who sells a six-pack for Forty buck in the hood? I mean seriously.

And it's quite a busy place too. He's got a fuck-load of business though which is why he's probably a dick! Anyway, lemme stop sipping on the haterade.

We settled our asses right in for a casual Sunday lucheon!

Dang dawg look at that chow. I dont give a shit, this has to be the best thing you could ever do to kick a hangover out on it's ass! This is definately another recommendation!

Cakes was also down with the get-down.

It's weird, I was thinking about and I realised tht all hoods are the same no matter where you go in the country. And I've been to a gang of hoods all over the country too but none of them are like Alex. It's just different for some or other reason. And I cant put my finger on it either wether it's the peeps or just the genral vibe or what. Is that a good or a bad thing? I don't know.

Jay getting her drink on.

I wonder if that's true. I really wonder, or if he's just fooling us and we eating some stale ass meat and shit. Just saying.

I dig Nita's new 'do. I great change from the plain black before.

After the chow, I think the 'itis started kicking in...for us all. Cause I was about to pass the fuck out right there and then.

Bumped into Relo and her friend. Sorry but I forgot your name but I'm sure its no big deal right.

After we had done with all the chow and drinking our beers and shit, Twiggle, Nita, Me & Jay went...

...to Cool Runnings out in Melville...

...for the underground comedy gig. Nice way to round off a weekend.

John Vlis was hosting

and my main man had a set there too.

Everyone seemed to have a good time overall. Me, just okay. But everyone else loved it.

Even this guy with the Spongebob Squarepants shirt. Good weekend overall. Let's do it again!!! Meet you here same place next time?

~Very Important Update!!!~

Fluffy Dice On Air

Fuck, I am shitting myself! I got word that I'm going to be getting interviewed on SAfm tomorrow about blogging in South Africa. Holy Crap! Why they would choose my blog for an interview, I have no idea but it's happening nonetheless. I actually thought that the woman was joking when she told me that somebody wanted to talk to me about my leetle blog but then she came with the seriousness and I knew it was for real.

I also just found out that I wont be alone either. Phew! They will also have my friend Peas On Toast and some or other blog too. Hold thumbs for me cause I hope I don't come across as a complete idiot on national radio! I'll keep you updated as to when it is going to be aired.

PS - I probably wont be able to hear it live so if anyone knows how to record it then please do. If you can send it to me I'd really appreciate it. Keep a look out and I'll let you know.

PPS - I think I need a drink and a smoke.

Peaces!"
