Family squabbles

What is worse than that? Not living up or down to your siblings?
Or being in no man’s land i.e. between? The odd one out.
I hate it.
And for once I did my utmost by not getting involved although, so many members of my family tried to.

The Book Publishing World

Book Publishers are such great deceivers. Even Liars
They write such inspirational bullshit, about everything in their bloody newsletters, websites or wherever else trying to show them as different to the rest of the publishing world.
But at the end of the day?
They’re all one and the same; a motivated manipulating business that revolves around just like the rest of the world and their stereotypical views.

''If you would tell me the heart of a man, tell me not what he reads, but what he rereads."
— François Mauriac 

Sharks

Now that's an animal worth seeing.
Like how the lion is the King of the jungle? The sharks are the king of the ocean.
Whales are great too, but I think whales in the ocean are more in comparison to elephants on land??
Yeah I have seen whales and dolphins real close up in the ocean, but not sharks.
Gansbaai & Mossel Bay is the place to see sharks in Cape Town.
Cage Diving = once in a lifetime eye to eye contact with the great white sharks a mere arms length away.
Now isn't that enticing??
Here are some pics:

 Awesome aren't they?

Snow

Now that's something we don't have in South Africa, except on the mountain tops.
I remember the first time in about 2003? Yeah, that winter was very cold, and we heard that it was snowing in a place about three hours from where we lived. The next day at 6 in the morning my mom dad and we five siblings went on a road trip looking for snow.
We ended up seeing lots of snow - but only on the mountains....we were told by morning whatever snow had came down to the ground had already melted .
Then in 2007 amazingly it snowed where we lived. It was all over the radio, everybody was running outside trying to catch the feathery flakes as they fell. It was beautiful. And so we got to see about a millimetre of snow....too little to actually make a snow man or have a now ball fight, but I loved every moment of it.
