my view about AIDS in South Africa
"the condition is medical
the solution is political" - Bog Geldof
...
Bog Geldof was one of the artists involved in the mayor
46664 concert held here in SA in an effort to try and enlighten many people about the seriousness of AIDS in the world.
(46664 was the prison cellnumber of our country's previous president Nelson Mandela. The concert also raised money for the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund.)
Although I found the concert itself an awesome experience, I can't hide my dissapointment that none of it seemed to catch / influence our goverment's approach to the problem.
Remember that we have a president that's unsure whether AIDS is actually a virus or anything medical at all!!
Unfortunately, his view was as confusing as the remedies or cures people tried:
Attempts range from (strictly) following a healthy diet (you should eat only these excotic foods...) to raping and killing a small child to be cured...
(I'm glad to say the persons responsible for the raping have been tried and brought to justice...)

a beautifull shot ...
http://www.deviantart.com/view/6246595/
please note that i didn't take the picture, i just happened to stumble upon it and it reminded me of all the things i tend to take for granted while living close to the seashore.
the shot is suitably titled 'linger' ... everyone of us has something we linger for ...

Rainy weather ...
when I woke up today to the sound of heavy rain falling outside *ouch*, I tried desperately to cling to each minute and stretch it for as long as possible. It's the perfect weather today: no wind, gently rain and the promise to stay like that untill tomorrow.
I saw Kill Bill: Volume 2 debuts today and it's looking as exciting as I found the first volume to be. Hopefully a lot less bloody & gory but yah, also hopefully more of the same.
There's a lot of criticism about the sequel to a stunning first Volume. It makes me wonder if a sequel to a good movie is actually a good idea? To stay in the movie genre, take The Matrix for example ... although 'Reloaded' and 'Revolutions' was a thrilling experience, I'm having trouble saying it pushed the boundaries as far as The Matrix itself could manage to do.
(I think the same thing happened with Warcraft2 and it's less than awesome sequel Warcraft3)
I did the SA Shavathon and have pictures to prove it!! It was tremendous fun - and the colour washed out so easilly, I'm actually thinking of spraying my hair more often ... *joke*

more about me ...
I completed the 'Jung Typology' Humanmetrics test the other day and found it very interesting.
according to the test i'm a ESFP personality type - indicating I am a:
slightly expressed extrovert
slightly expressed sensing personality
moderately expressed feeling personality
slightly expressed perceiving personality
it also labeled me as spontaneous and impulsive, which could be true when I look at things I know I'm not quite that good at.
The profile also illustrated a lot of things that are considered as your weaker points which I believe can be moved up to normal once u realize the weakness and work on it.
there's some food for thought ...
