Just farting in the wind…

And in other news…

Well, not really.

With reference to my previous entry, read this: IOL News Article .

I think they use the term ‘comrade’ just a few too many times, eh? Remniscent of the old USSR, ain’t it?

I’ll let you make up your mind about where it’s all breathless bullshit or not.

I call it as I see it…

I was sitting on the loo a little while ago, trying to read a book, but eventually I put it down and concentrated on the thoughts that were going through my mind.

I would like to have a chat one day with a black American. Not anybody in particular, mind, just anybody. And I want to ask him, “Do you consider yourself an ‘African American’, or do you just consider yourself to be an American?”

Now, if he answers that he considers himself an ‘African American’, I’m going to ask him if he’s ever been to Africa. If he says yes, it will throw me somewhat, so let’s assume he says no. Now, let’s assume that I’m living in America, and I’ve naturalized (which I want to do if I ever get the chance to live there), I’ll ask him why he considers himself to be specifically African American. Is it because he’s black? Or is it because he wants to associate himself with “his” homeland?

Now I’m not going to suppose what his answer would be, but whatever his answer was, I would tell him, that I, as a white American (assuming what I said above holds true), am also an “African American”. What would he think about that?

To my mind, he would probably think I was trying to be facetious. Would anyone understand where I’m coming from?

You’re probably wondering where that came from. I’ve just been thinking about how whites are always being accused of being rascist (particularly in this country), if not directly, then indirectly (blaming apartheid, and the ‘previous regime’ as they call it), yet the blacks in this country (I’m talking about the ones who are always in the news, the politicos) are probably the biggest racists bigots on the planet. You just need to read the papers or watch the news here to see what I mean.

Someday you should read one our local news sites called IOL. There’s some downright scary shit reported there from time to time.

Just as well only 2 people read this site, otherwise I’d probably get flamed by a bunch of retards that can’t see further than the end of their noses.

Damn hackers

It really irritates me that I have to lockdown my desktop because I have a lil rat fucker 3 year old hacker.

Lil bugger can navigate windows, and has learned to shutdown our computers. Yeesh. Talk about pissing me off. I had a crapload of apps open cuz I was in the middle of something. All gone. I have no idea what the hell I was doing.

Oh well, that will teach me to lock my desktop at home. I do it at work… now I have to get in the habit of doing it at home too.

A Far Cry from finished

Gad, it’s taking me a long time to get this bathroom done. But I can thankfully say that I’m almost finished. I completed the wall tiling yesterday (Sunday) evening, and I laid the worst floor tile too.

I’m taking a break tonight, cuz I’m just plain fucking sick of the damn place now.

This break is at least giving me some time to work on another project I’m designing, and no, it’s NOT a DIY project. You think I’m insane? It’s actually a web site. More details later (Much (a LOT later)).

Quite a mouthful

I almost think that I’ve bitten off more than I can chew when it comes to re-doing our bathroom. I’m just not used to this kind of physical labor, I’m a geek, damnit. The only kind of exercise I get is getting up to get another cup of coffee. I have a monitor tan, for goodness sake. What the hell was I thinking?

It took me three days (with the wife’s help) to destruct the bathroom, ie, ripping tiles off walls, and lifting the floor tiles, etc. Removing the basin & toilet didn’t take too long, thankfully.

It’s now a week later, and I’m still not finished the damn bathroom. Fortunately all the difficult stuff is complete (fitting the toilet & basin, and tiling the back wall), so the rest of it shouldn’t take me too long to complete.

We’ll see, I guess.
