I asked Guy what he'd like to see in a blog like this, and after we got over Ismail's "you dying in various different ways", he said I should just put down what I think and people will laugh. Oh well, can't hurt to try. if all else fails I can just dump ads on it and at least earn some money!
Hopefully I will be the next Spud or Adrian Mole. Maybe that's a far call though.
We're chilling in LO now, and we're discussing human rights and human rights violations. Apparently, if our rights are violated, the majority of Bishops boys will just call their lawyers, or let their dads take care of it... small wonder. It's pretty interesting actually, as we're now finding out about how the processes behind human rights violations work, and at least some people are paying attention (unlike in History). WHy does the 1983 constitution get an ostrich sitting next to it, while the other two have dodgy-looking Afrikaans inquisitors next to them? I love government worksheets, the graphics always give us things to laugh about.
Nevertheless, South African history makes me feel like a bit of an outsider, as I don't really connect with otherwise historically significant events like the Truth and Reconciliation commission... I just don't understand why the people sitting next to me would feel more strongly about it, seeing as they weren't around at that time either. It's a bit silly really, but I guess we all need a uniting factor we don't understand on a subconscious level.
I think this blog will just be about life and sarcasm instead of me focusing on ripping into everything like Guy suggested. Maybe intellectuals should read it as well....
