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!"
