Picnic In The Park

Yeah the summer is on its way. You know how I know? Cause the sun is shining, the grass is green and its getting hotter outside. So we decided to have ourselves a bit of a picnic to welcome the summer with open arms. I mean I thought it was a bit pre-mature but it actually turned out to be quite a nice warm day in Jozi. So we got all our shit...

...and got the congregation together at Zoo Lake for a coupla beers and blunts and of course loads of meat. The congregation settling into the day.Now if you look closely you will notice that there are still no leaves on trees. This obviously means that we are still in the dead of winter. You might be thinking that we taking chances but I know you're thinking of doing the same thing innit?Mighty Mel had come thru from Cape Town and was up to his old antics again. Watch out for this guy! He's a loose cannon I tell ya but he's still my boy!

Sbash and Sim soaking up the rays...and looking hippy. HAHAHA! Jus playin....righteous pimps!

We even got TT to come around and join in the fun since she's never available to do shit. But it's all good. I aint mad at ya.

And Ms DSL was also in full effect. Sis Nan in the back in her all white, drressing appropriately for the day. Good on ya!

And this kid who has to be the most energetic little fucker ever! I really love this picture though. Reminds me of the picture's my parents would take of us as little kids. I think we might even have some left in our photobooks. Aaah...memories!

TT and Polka shooting the shit. Strange what a small world this is innit? I think they know each other from PE or sumin'.

Shit apparently the liks were flowing sooner than I thought cause before you know it the Pace magazine poses were being pulled out. Sbash goes and pulls out this classic mother fucker(nice touch with the old school shades and Converse) but...

...A.L. wasnt having none of that and pulls out this pose. He wins hands down!

So we started playing a bit of footy...

... and the rules of the game are that you cant play without a drink in your hand. If you look closely you'll notice that every one has a drink in their hand

and you'll also notice the Soulman flat on his back. BIG BLUNDER! He started pointing fingers...

...but Mighty Mel wasnt having none of that shit. Dude, look at his eyes. He's ready to slap the taste out of his mouth. Word of advise if anyone ever looks at you like this, be scared. Be very scared! I think Mel was on the losing side so maybe that's why he was being so hostile. *Tsk Tsk Tsk*

Sneed wasnt having any of that shit either. They were all buddy-buddy as soon as you can say "Anyone for a beer?" HAHA!

Nan2 catching me catching her! Wow, I aint seen her in a while. But twaz good to see her in any case.

Pi and Tall Loy cold lamping!

Polka doing his cold lamping thing as well. I think this is also quite a dope pic!

No picnic would be a good picnic without a good game of cards innit? So I'm chilling watching the peeps play their game and I look down and I see...

WARNING: What you are about to see could disturb sensitive viewers and all who are very cranky about hygiene ~

...THIS!! AAAAARGGHH!!!! What the fuck is that? Wait in case you didnt see that shit right how about a close up...

....NASTY!!!! Dude, if I had a chick walk into my house let alone my bed with feet like that I would put my foot so far up her ass, the water on my shoes would quench her thirst!

Ya'll dont know nothing about this trick right here! This is the ghetto way of opening a beer. Got no opener and don't wana use your teeth? Holla at your boy!

Koko just got off the shift at Ultra Liquors and he brought his work home with him! HAHAH!

So we making all the food and shit. You know a bit of meat, chicken....

...and sausage, you know like you do. So I'm toiling my ass off at the braai stand making sure everyones happy and shit...

...and as soon as everything is served this is what happens. Have you ever watched Animal Planet? You know when the lion has made the kill and all of a sudden all the other motherphuckers get pushed out of the way so they can get their meal? Well...the picture speaks for itself. I mean I didnt even get me a little something something either. Hence me being able to take this pic. Sonzabitches!

Straight after that the winter reminded us that it's still around so we packed up our shit and went to Sneeds crib to finish off the liks. Was a good day. I suggest it to anyone who's keen.

Peace and Hair Grease!

Karma Is A Bitch

I never do this but I think this is a special occasion.
PS - Dont mind the white guy. He's filling in for the black guy who's sick today.

I'm pissed the PHUCK off! Last night I got jacked. If you don't know what jacked means, it means to get mugged/robbed/stuck up by a stick up kid. Okay now I was not in the best of circumstances but none-the-less, I have had a taste of the criminal side of my country. I'm not really that angry really. I always figured that it would happen some day. To cut a long story short I found myself walking from Fairview(which is basically in central town) all the way to Killarney. Thanks Twiggle! Nice coming through on the lift there....bitch! I had to go via Yeoville to get to where I was going. Now I kinda knew already that something would happen so it wasn't a suprise to me. Anyway some-way/some-how I managed to hide my camera and my phone from the(thank you Lord) and they didn't manage to find anything besides my hairbrush and my bankcard. Now I STILL had to walk all the way to Killarney. Just to give you an idea, at the begining of my journey I saw Ponte as a building on the horizon. I walked all the way past it and when I finished my journey I couldn't even see it behind me. That my friend is one hell of a distance! I evetually bunped into somebody I knew and they gave me a ride home.

Now in weird twist of karma I found myself in a taxi this morning coming from Randburg. Traffic was backed up for days so I suggested to the taxi driver to take a short cut I know through the 'burbs. Now I was all the way at the back and I was shouting the directions over all the strange looks from my fellow passengers. Eventually I got them directly onto William Nciol after cutting out about a 30 minute wait in traffic. This was greeted by rawkus applause from the passengers who were patting my back and shaking my hand and the taxi driver in a never before seen act of kindness gave me my money back. I mean the taxi driver gave me a refund! WTF!?!? I was riding so high of my confidence that I hollered at some honey in the cab who was SO dope and was giving a brother the eye. She even gave me her digits and told me to holla!


Can you believe that shit?

School Night Randomness

So I was chilling at the crib las night kicking back and TwiggleStix came thru saying something about an exhibition out in town. I wasn't really that enthusiastic about it that much but then I saw an article about it in the Star and my interest quickly rose. Apparently it's the World Press Organisation road show or something...not too sure. So we rolled thru but when we got there the African Museum was closed. So we pretty much figured that it should have been during the day. On the way, I got a ring on the cellular about an office party that Relo would like us to attend for some kind of celebration of an award the company got.

...so we rolled thru just to say hello and indulge in one drink to celebrate with her and her people. Oooh boy was I wrong about having one drink. The evening turned from one drink into a heavy drinking session and a photo extravaganza.

That's my girl right there. Well not REALLY my girl but girl as in my friend. So she's like my girl friend...wait no. My friend who happens to be a girl. Yah, whatever! Good chica she is!

The evening started out timid enough. You know just loungin in the cut minding your own business and shit having a drink and talking about the state of the rain forest and what not.
So I look around my surroundings to get a better bearing on what the drill is and shit. Just taking it all in and I look up and see this...
...then I notice all these!
And some more of those! Holy Bejeezus! These people are serious with their shit! I cant divulge who the company is though for obvious reasons. But all I could say was WOW!
So while we lounging we decide to kick back and shoot the shit some more and Twiggle all of a sudden gets this urge to be all photo-generous and shit. You know, bring out that photographer in him. This was the result. I actually dig this photo. You could swear we were a couple dating or sumfing.
And the obligatory Gangstarr pose! Okay I was gangstar, Nan was happy to be with Gangstarr. Jezzir!
So he got all trigger happy all of a sudden so I switched it on him quick-fast got his photo album pose on. Now it looks like they are dating. Hehehehe
The people who worked so damn hard everyday who were kind enough to allow me and my frineds to come and join the celebration. Thanks you! This was about the time we were contemplating leaving and going home but before we did we wanted to do a refill of the glasses for one more drink but along the way we bumped into...
...this shiny guy. "Hello fella, are you a bit lonely there? You need some company? That's okay, we'll stay with you but we cant stay for long okay?"

Holy crap! After about oh I'd say a second of deliberation wether we should or we shouldn't we figured...
...phuck it! There were no shot glasses within arms-length so we got the thing closest to it. A not so bright idea either cause you cant judge how much to pour. Jeezus Nan, you trying to kill us here?
AAAAAAARRRRGGHHH!!! Nan feeling the after effects of old Brass Knuckles. See, I told you it was too much. But noooo, somebody doesnt listen eh? HAHAHA!
That's not a very happy face
Needless to say, we were feeling rather happy right after that! Whoo Hoo! Yay for tequila, my old friend. I dont know why I have a 'Get A Load Of These Guys' face going on here. Really I dont. Anyway we were feeling the silver liquid runnin through the veins and feeling good I tell ya...
...and so was the rest of the place. Check 'em out burning some serious rug! They say white people cant dance right? Well...uhm...no comment.
I on the other hand was not thinking about dancing. People know not to leave me on my ace for too long cause I start getting ideas and shit. I mean if the music is pumping and my feet are a feeling a bit itchy I just might...
...bust an Indian move on your ass! HAHAHA!!! Or I just might sneak off...
...get a little bit of loving on the side. Oooooh weee!

And you know how it goes right. Coupla tequila's later, the WTF face off began once again. Twiggle came right on the money but I wasnt having any of that shit! Looks like someone just stuck a finger up his bumhole innit?

I on the other hand look like a wax sculpture left in the sun too long.

Somebody was not very impressed with our antics.I'm sure she's thinking: "Can you guys stop acting like school children?". And I'm all like: "Cmon...you know you wana. Cmon! Just one try eh?"

"Aight phuck it! But I cant do a bad face really. It's just really hard sometimes you know?"

WTF? No realy WHAT THE FUCK? You call that a WTF face? Shit lemme show you!

See that 's a WTF face? And you catching on quick there you are! But it's okay, she's a virgin to all this so I wont give her any lip for it. Actually didnt do too bad for a first time.

And my favourite pic of the night. Dont it look like a slide of a Calvin & Hobbes cartoon! Yeah it was that time so after this we was out.

Outy Msouty.
