The goings on...
Ok, about time I update this thing again... it's gonna be about recent happenings in my life... as well as the latest albums I'm digging... and an awesome advert thrown in for anticipation of the World Cup happening here soon... couldn't be more excited... gonna be EPIC!!!
Firstly, the happenings in my life... for starters, I got my ass dumped :( ... about a month ago now... I'd been going out with Pierre for about 15 months... it was a combination of things... for one, he is going to go work on the ships in Australia (and yes, I know, if he did really love me he would have stayed)... secondly, the event that eventually caused him to break up with me, was so freekin minor, it was very clear he was just looking for a way out... so hey, why should I fight for something that he doesn't want... and I can't make anyone love me... I know that now...
So I'm working through it, it is difficult.. but I must also admit that I have come out of this relationship a lot stronger mentally and emotionally... and in a much better space than I've been in for years...
Pierre and I... Cape Town... Good times...
Another major event in my life (well, soon to be major)... I've been living with a room mate, and thought it is time for me to head out on my own again, get my own place... preferrably one with a garden that allows pets, so I can finally get a dog again... halfway through my hunt for a new place I get a phone call from mother dearest... she subtly works into the conversation that she's basically run out of money... and needs a place to stay... so, long story short... I'm the only one in the position to help my mother out... so, room mate is moving out, I'm staying where I am, and my mom is coming to stay with me from August... Don't get me wrong, I'd do anything for my mother... just, let's say she's not the easiest person to get on with... so yeah, interesting times ahead!
K, now for the music... I'm gonna bullet point this stuff... this is MUST HAVE music people... it's life changing! (in no particular order )
Now for the World Cup... you guys knowing I'm a HUGE soccer fan, I must admit I am seriously looking forward to the World Cup, RIGHT IN MY BACK YARD!!! I have got my name down for 4 games, and can not wait! So, in the spirit of soccer fever... I give you the new official Nike World Cup advert... I think it is brilliant... Write the future...
And that's me for now... how you guys doing?

K, now for the music... I'm gonna bullet point this stuff... this is MUST HAVE music people... it's life changing! (in no particular order )
- Deftones - Diamond Eyes (Possibly the best album this year so far)
- Black Keys - Brothers (So much awesomeness, classic black keys mixed with some new stuff)
- Gorillaz - Plastic Beach (Stylo got to be one of the best singles... music video is awesome)
- Yeasayer - Oddblood (I'm enjoying it)
- Frightened Rabbit - Winter of Mixed Drinks (Great album)
- Jamie Lidell - Compass (Funkiness all round, produced by Beck)
- Damien Jurado - Saint Bartlett (My new favourite artist, he's amazing)
- LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening (Great opening track and lots of fun)
- Broken Bells - Broken Bells (Nice acoustic chillness)
- Foals - Total Life Forever (Spanish Sahara... can't get enough of that song, but whole album is well rounded)
