You're a good friend

I'd definitely have to say Coke. I absolutely the stuff. God knows what I'd do for hangovers if they ever took the stuff off the market An ice-cold Coke with a headache pill (or two) & a nice greasy meal are the only things I need to get me going again after a big night out

gracias corazon

yeah, i don't even know what i was trying to say with that sentence.
IT WAS LATE, OKAY?! GEEZ! hahah
and correct me if i'm wrong, but its that The Midlife Crisis Bike?
hahaha

that's sad news...... sounds very sudden!

yeah i know what you mean about wanting more tattoos everytime you get one - i've been looking at myself thinking i don't look decorated enough...... ha... not that i'm planning anymore right now..............

i wanted to join the navy.. dad was in it for 9 years.. he's spent the last 26 years making sure ive remembered to take his advice and don't do it.. i kinda regret it too.. i was in our commando reserve unit for a few short weeks.. i started to understand what my father was on about and left before i was sworn in.

I would've happily joined you in the 20s, mate - as a flapper, yeehaah



And as far as changing one thing from the past goes, I reckon I also would've liked to join the army...

Although I have never experienced first-hand a full-scale war scenario, I did grow up with two localised wars on the fringes of my consciousness for the first 28 years of my life. First there was the South African Border War (1966 - 1989) which took place in South-West Africa & Angola, between South Africa & our allied forces (mainly UNITA) on the one side, & Angola, SWAPO (South-West Africa People's Organisation) & their allies (mainly the Soviet Union & Cuba) on the other. Then there was the Angolan Civil War (1975 - 2002) where South Africa & the USA supported UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola).

Now although I've spent the vast majority of my life living in SA (apart from the 2 years in the mid-90s, aged 21 - 23, when I lived in London on a working holiday visa), I did also spend 2 years of my early childhood (age 4 - 6) living in South-West Africa (now an independent Namibia). Big, scary words like SWAPO, UNITA, Apartheid, SADF & conscription still ring loudly in my memories from that time, mainly from news reports on radio & TV.

And although I don't necessarily agree with what we (South Africa) were fighting for in either case, I really do believe that a stint in the SADF (South African Defence Force) would've done me the world of good when I finished school at the end of 1992. At that age (18), I was a very lost & angry little soul, & I think the army would've provided me with a sense of purpose & the much-needed discipline my parents had never quite been able to instill in me during my rebellious teenage years. Back in those days, every white male school-leaver was conscripted to a minimum of 2 years national service in the SADF. Ironically, while thousands of them were shipped off to the UK & Europe by wealthy, worried parents, & hundreds more went AWOL, deserted, or simply refused to participate in what they saw as an illegitimate & illegal war, I would've been happy to take their place. But back then, it just wasn't an acceptable / allowable thing for a woman to do. I chose to study Graphic Design instead

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that, in retrospect, I reckon I would've LOVED to have experienced life in the army, but not necessarily having to fight in either of those two wars.

I'm glad it was good. I can't wait to hear about it. You know, when I'm not asleep by the time you get home .
I love you, babe.

that'd be nice... I think we may have a strike in our future here.

those are words to live by - if you can't control it let it go - just do your best and do right by everybody and for the most part everybody'll do right by you.

From what I've read about that stuff y ou should be in for an interesting time - have fun

Ooooh Amy Wynn! I like her too! I'll see your Amy Wynn Pastor and raise you a Leslie Segrete. (she's another one of the carpenters/designers on those shows)

I hope tomorrow is fun. (actually, I hope the bottle gets to Susi's house, it's not there yet )
I love you, babe.

Esta es Geena Davis?

These updates with pictures are funny to me. It's making me realize just how diverse your tastes are. (and how much I'm NOT your taste lol)
I love you, babe.

As a mortician I know says, "Any day on this side of the dirt is a good one."

I don't know who she is but she's beautiful.

I wake up every morning, wondering what day it is...

But tomorrow is a holiday
