FAIL Tuesday - Collect your prize Schabir Shaik

The biggest failure of the week has to be Schabir Shaik, the "terminally ill" convicted criminal that is on death’s bed. Well he has been spotted by numerous people saying that he doens’t look ill at all, to put it in the most simple words: he is supposed to be in JAIL but he is NOT! 

But Sunday afternoon he was involved in a fist fight on a golf course, correct me if I am wrong but a sick person should not be playing golf and also not be in fights. That is South African justice system being the real failure here. 

But what can we do....nothing much except moan and groan, but all is not lost. I have added a few more fails that is very close to my heart for all you lovely people out there.

Where would I wear this?

Like a seagull trolling the skies from above looking for something sparkly to snag for their nest, I spotted this shirt while flipping channels last Wednesday night.  I couldn't take my eyes off of Carrie Underwood's ridiculously shiny disco-ball inspired top that she wore for the finale of American Idol. I don't normally watch Idol but what she wore during her duet with (unknown Idol finalist?) was beyond eye-catching and fun.

Apparently Carrie works out her legs a lil bit....

After searching the interwebs high and low I've found out that the top is by Vince ($295.00).  Khloe Kardashian wore the same top in gold during the opening credits of her show Khloe and Lamar.

I'm thinking this would be great to wear while we're in Athens this summer when we go out for drinks. The flashier the better! Perfect with white skinny jeans and heels (though I highly doubt I'd ever be able to pull it off with shorts and heels as my legs look nothing like Carrie Underwood's.)

But if it's good enough for reality TV "stars" then it's good enough for me!

Lady Gaga-Are you serious?

What is up with this woman, her wardrobe consists of the most absurd and weird things. It will not surprise me if she has a fridge or a small butchery in her closet because where the hell does she come up with all her fashion ideas. I have also read somewhere that she doesn’t wear the same thing twice (not sure if it is entirely true), personally I don’t blame her cause meat and plants don’t stay fresh forever, they rot some or other time.

And all these rumors that she is the Antichrist, the devil’s right hand is so funny. Story is that she apparently sold her soul to him in exchange for a shot at fame. If this is true then the Jonas Brothers, Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus are so screwed for eternity. Seriously who believes that she is going to take over the world?!

Not me, I absolutely detests her music and fashion sense, give it two years and then there will be some other new pop musician that will have the world by his/her feet the same way she did. It has happened before and will keep on happening because that is the way the world thinks. And I love the way people reads into her music lyrics expecting demons whispering their rude intentions with your mom on songs. Crazy much hey?

To cap of my discussion about Miss GAGA, here is a few pictures on how exactly not to look like the Antichrist, makes you wonder?

Synopsis: From Terrence Malick, the acclaimed director of such classic films as Badlands, Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line, The Tree of Life is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950's. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick's signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life.

Friday is BABE day-Let's do Bikes

I like it, if you don’t…then what the hell is up with you bro!? Just kidding, I choose this theme because of countless requests from people. 

I am quite sure I can type a whole essay with all their names here that wanted this so badly, and I hope this doesn’t disappoint the faithful. 

So without any further ado, here is what many of us dream and crave, a sexy half naked girl on a damn good motorcycle. It doesn’t get any better than this.

It's the final countdown...

Yup, it IS the final countdown and no I'm not talking about the "Rapture" end of world type thing.

It's the final countdown for massive weight loss before our annual summer vacation to the sunny beaches of Greece. Cue 80's rock band "Europe" and their 'epic' rock anthem of the same name, "The Final Countdown."...

Ok so is the tune playing in your head now? Let that set the scene for you.

 Mama is waging all out war with these 10 lbs I've gained over our long never ending winter. 

Health and fitness will prevail as the beach takes no prisoners. 

We've got too many important events coming up that require mama to not appear as a stuffed frankfurter in a cocktail dress. All the Spanx in the world can't help that much...

The only option when executing tactical warfare is to bring out the big guns.  No carbs.

Don't worry, I'm not going all Atkins on you and eliminating anything with even a trace of sugar. I'm still eating plenty of vegetables and fruits, including lots of fresh berry's.

But I will say that I've eaten more eggs, nuts, bacon, turkey burgers, lettuce, and full fat salad dressing in the last week than in the last 3 years combined. 

The fact is that I actually lose weight when I cut out my beloved carbs. AND IT'S SO HARD. Pasta, wine and bread actually bring me joy. I'm no heavy meat eater so giving up carbs seems unnatural.

But based on the blood type diet by Peter D'Adamo, Eat Right 4 Your Type, according to my blood type which is O, I should basically become a carnivore. 

Blood type O is believed to be the earliest human blood group. Directly descended from the cavemen. 

mama's ancestor, Great Uncle Eats-no-carbs

Here the "prescribed" diet is low-carb, high in meat and fish, low in dairy. And type O's should work out like a Mofo. 

So no carbs and lot's of exercise eh? This is sounding pretty basic to me. I think just about anybody would lose weight this way. Thankfully I've spent no money on this book/diet plan. 

So far things seems to be working pretty well, I'm down a few pounds and not feeling hungry at all.

BUT

My birthday is tomorrow, my son's birthday party is on Saturday, and we have a Baptism and party to attend on Sunday, then another birthday celebration on Sunday nite. 

It's going to be a cake/wine/desserts carb-fest.

But this is war, and the beach doesn't care how good that cupcake tastes. Am I right?

This post is what my blogs name is all about.

Check Out - Oppikoppi Unknown Brother Prepare yourself!

You read it and now it is time to prepare for the premier music festival in South Africa where the 3 days of chaos and dust separate the iron livers from the virgins. The Oppikoppi farm is allocated inside Northam in the bush where all hell will break lose. 

This year’s theme is Unknown Brother and it will not let you down in any way. What you can expect is a lot of drinking, sex in uncomfortable places, sunburn, frostbite in your toes, dust everywhere, wandering drunk alone in the dark, delicious Shwarma’s, Francios van Coke, cold showers, thorns in every finger, friends trying to funnel every alcohol drink in your campsite, stumbling around for wood, penis shaped drawings on your car window, missing half of the music acts, losing your buddies every 5 minutes, Black Label, passing out next to your tent, tequila shot glasses around your neck, broken danger tape and in plain words, a rocking good time.

If these things are what you detest, Koppi is not for you because escaping it is inevitable and missing all the fun. I have seen the best of the festival has to offer and it has exceeded my expectations each year. It will be happening on the weekend of the 5^th of August so there is still roughly about two months to prepare and get your shit ready. Remember that the Tuesday is in fact a public holiday so fill in your leave form for the Monday and throw it in your boss’s desk as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

What I can tell you to bring is just basically warm clothes (old stuff because it will become fire wood), a durable tent, lots of firewood, medical supplies, buy food at the stalls there (bringing your own food will result in you not eating it at all), so much alcohol it could kill a herd of wildebeest, friends that don’t bitch and moan, a good old pair of shoes(think All Star high tops), anything that can provide light (a cellphone will probably not work) and the attitude to have a good time.

So there you have it, all of these things equals a damn good time with good people and a awesome vibe. 

I will personally be going a day before to get a good camp site and just to get away from the busy city life, so if you are going for the first time, just remember that what happens at Koppi, stays at Koppi!
