Hey
I dont have much to say other than this weekend is going to be really big due to the fact that everything seems to be happening on this weekend.
-South Africa vs Australia Rugby
-Comrades
-The Living Alarm playing at burn.
So for now I bid you farewell and should be posting many pictures next week on my memorable(by photo's) yer blurred weekend.
I want to leave you some videos of Pennywise which has been one of my longest favourite band to date. They have not posted any videos on their site since their new album release, which I dont know why. I preferred their older stuff but have grown into the new.
If you like fast paced, serious political punk this is the band for you. Most people who listen to Political punk will no doubt have at least one of their cd's lined up in their cd rack.
I think they have been playing for over 15 years now so their are pretty old but they are still striking hard. Some of their cd's include:
-The Fuse
-From The Ashes
-Land of the Free
-Live at the Key Club
-Straight Ahead
-About Time
-Full Circle
-Pennywise
-Unknown Road
-Wildcard
They also release one DVD call "Home movies". Its not too long(about 45 mins) but pretty good to watch. One section called "violence" is pretty funny as it shows people going moggy at shows and starting to go way over the top.
I own most of the CD'S and the DVD so I am proud to say I do support them and dont go around copying their shit. Staying in South Africa sucks because everything has to be imported. So each CD cost me about R220 .(about 30$)
Anyway, if you ask people about punk, this is one name that will always rise. Here are some videos of theirs.
"My God",Those of you who are pretty much against religion or have some sort of problem with it will probably enjoy this song, awesome video to watch.
We all know there is a problem with society now days, this is called society for a reason. Awesome video footage in here.
"Fuck Authority", this video was made for a reason!
"Homesick", once again more politics, awesome videos.
Live "God save the USA",I love this drummer from pennywise, he is still, in my eyes, one of the fastest drummers I have heard around.
They always manage to produce good footage in their videos.
They have slipped into the shadows somewhere because I havent heard from them in a while, but they are still going to be legends for years to come.
Until Monday

Senses Fail - Band Review
Ok, I told you I was going to post some videos of a band every week, so heres some more.
This is Senses Fail, a screamo/emo band which have really come out strong in America. I will not go into all the details about them yet due to the fact that I dont know much about them, I just like the music and the videos, sorry.
Anyway, your looking for a band in this genre give them a listen, some of their songs are really awesome but some I find just too poppy and no vibed up enough.Here some videos
"Calling all Cars"
"Buried a lie"(looks like something from "days of our lives"
"Bloody Romance"
"Cant be saved" - I really like this song, video is awesome aswell, bit of a twist ;)
Anyway, there are some videos for you

An Apologetic Theory
I am so sorry, I have not written anything worthwhile in about 2 weeks now, if not more. Due to my busy schedule and just plain laziness I have siezed writing on this blog. I will (try) start getting back into my routine again.
Nothing major has happened. I have just been keeping busy and I will go through some quick points rounding up how these past 2 weeks have been going.
1)Work is going well, a bit hectic due to the fact a lot of people have been taking off sick and I have had to fill their places during those times. It is all good and well but these guys get payed probably double what I get, so lets just say they get payed that for a very good reason!
2)Carla and I are still strong, things are going well.
3) There is now a digital camera in the house. I am stoked but once again, due to my laziness, I have not even updated my profile picture which is like 2 years old. Let alone what I have been doing these past few weeks.
4)These municipality strikes are pissing me off. I understand what they are striking for but why do they always have to go and fuck everything up in the process. Please grow a brain or just kill yourselves off,no need to fuck everyone elses lives and jobs by doing this.
5)Had Erins 21st this weekend, was pretty fun and was nice seeing her again. Its weird being out of the church for 2 years and not seeing half those for a while. One or two of them reminded me of what put me off the people in the church.
6)Just a thought on religion, nothing much at the moment. I get these waves that really make me want to believe and become christian again. Then I start remembering stuff which hardened my heart at the end of it and the desire is lost. Its an endless circle!
7)I have ordered Requiem for a Dream for myself and hopefully I should get it in the next month or two. I have it on computer but I tell so many people about it but can never lend it to them, so its time I got a copy. I also bought "Armageddon", "End of Days" and "Over the Hedge". Ok... not the wisest buys but I tend to be impulsive at times! Over the Hedge was worth it though. Still wanting to get a copy of "Goodwill Hunting".
8)We watched "Employee of the month" on friday which I thought was awesome. Its different, so its not everyones humour. We then went for drinks, and tequila's and then more drinks. I had to work on Saturday, lets just say It was a "blurry" experience.
9)I have sold my Citi Golf and bought a new car. I am stoked about it. I have bought a Polo Playa 1.4 sport. Those of you who may laugh at me I say Fuck you, I like my car. Unlike a lot of people in this life I actually worked really hard for it. Going from my Citi Golf(payed off) with 195000KM'S on the clock with signs of rust to a car that has 66000km's on the clock and is in warranty, I am happy. It is just another small step up, then I can trade that in for something better, and again, etc etc.
10)This saturday a crowd of us will be going down to Burn on saturday to watch "The Living Alarm" and "Sheepdown" play. It promises to be an awesome evening. I have got R10 off tickets for the door so let me know if your coming! Hope to see a big crowd!
11) I am tired now and I am now going to sleep. Please have a fantastic evening and I will get back into the move of things with my blog,Im sorry.
Cheers
