My days as a single man were short lived to say the least, but that was for good reason. It turns out that there is always light at the end of every tunnel. The cliche police will have to forgive me for this post.
I have discovered that te Xanthe is infact a great deal more than just a friend :) I have moved forward and found someone that has te same way of life and interests as I do, while still having enugh differences to keep things interesting. Plus she is completly mad, wich suits me down to the ground. The stars shine on me again and there are great things in the future.

They call themselves Team Booze
New year and its build up was legendary! First I had to drive to the airport alot picking up interesting folk. Seanie, Jared, Joni, Xanth and Caitlin all arrived over a crazy four day period. Diamonds liquors became our friend and they can't be far off knowing us by name by this point.
New Year's eve and a stressful time as everybody seeks the perfect end to the year. Xanth, Jared, Seanie, Caitlin and myself decended the mountain to Smits as mere mortals, but by the time it was all over we had become so much more... We were now Team Booze the fabelled drinking five who bring good times and Prestige Premium Vodka! We had a crazy night which also included sushimi and a midnight swim. Some people with more clothing attached than others, but I digress.
Then we, the famous five, spent a few more nights at the beach celebrating youth, the fermenting process and the fact that we were neither American nor Canadian!
All in all it was Legen... wait for it, Dary! - Barney

End of an era
So I finished that whole degree thing that I've been working on for a while now, so the VC can bash me on the head with a piece of paper while I prance around in a funny looking gown next year, so looking forward to that. I hear the ceremony is painfully boring, but at least its long...
The Lindsay and I have split up so that era is over and we look to the future to see what it will bring as the time for dwelling in the past and wallowing in self pity is now over.
New year on the other and should be most interesting as a growing group seem poised to be joining me in Cape Town as Jared, Xanthe, Caitlin, Seanie and Ash B are keen for some fun involving beverages and bad decisions, which is always a good time.
Until next time take care of yourself and eachother - Jerry Springer

Long night friends
I find myself in the radio shack yet again this year. My fellow radio comrades and I have lived here throguhout the year. Good times and bad. The last week of term before undergrad is all over! Jen and I have been staring at a stupid programme for hours trying to get it open to finish our audio slide show. Alas the software lets us down. There have been many new developments in the world according to Timmy, but this will have to be discussed another day as my frustration at this work would paint a negative picture. I'm sure my blogging can be revived as I waste some time during swot week. The work is getting me down but just one month to go before a happy holiday. I'm grumpy at the moment but others have to deal with that so its not my problem that I'm grumpy. Gives me something to do as we wait yet again for the stupid programme to work. More from me again on a happier day in the future.

Couch potato
Aaah July vac. Time to do absolutly nothing at all. I have become reaquainted with my old friends couchie and the wise and all knowing Mr T.V. They treat me well and we have a firm relationship. My only notable outings have been to my beach house at Smits and one visit to Tiger Tiger. Ash and I embarked on te night out and at Tiger she demonstrated her amazing disappearing act to perfection, tus leaving me again knowing nobody in the club. Tried to make some friends but was just 'that guy' who tells a good joke and them you bugger off with your 'real' mates. Oh well Cole will be back in CT soon so I will have a drinking buddy that is rather more reliable. Then in just over a week its back to G-town for third term. Wonder how the Candi's diving and skiing adventure is going? Too bad she never blogs any more tisk tisk. As te Xanthe sign off line goes. . . see ya Xanth . . . wait I mean Timmy!

The year so far...
The year has been an interesting one, which started with a great deal of promise, and has failed to deliver in several areas. There have been some excellent memories that in particular to my first Splashy Fen, which was brilliant fun, although rather wet with a lot of rain. The hippies were entertaining, and a general atmosphere of fun made for an excellent weekend. Rory Eliot and The Reason most definatly the top band on display.
There was also the second ever Vetinary Cricket World Cup, which was once again help at my old stomping ground of Hilton College. Unfortunatly the folks couldn't make it, but I represented the Cape side where we lost two of our three games. We did however win the partying and had more fun than most of the other tems thanks in large part to our captain Bennie Van der Merwe. I had a good tournament with the bat and a chance in the top order was all I needed to keep my spirits up. Scores of 33, 13 and a 28 not out to win the last game made me a very happy camper. Those knocks included one large six that brought a smile to my face. Was was mediocre with the ball, probably just didn't adjust my line from varsity level cricket, but a great weekend and good to see the Kretzmans again.
While I'm on the cricket debriefing, let us look at my now established place in the Rhodes Rats. The laughs and stories that come out of those matches make my day every week. The best story of the year was infact off of the field when we finally got round to having our fines evening. This included us dressing up in full match kit together with original head-gear. The formal meeting ended and we all stumbled our way to the Rat in top spirits. From here my memory is rather shakey, but walked home at some ungodly hour and lost my wallet in the process, as well as locking the sim on my phone. These inbetween falling over many times on my way up to 8 Robinson street. I had the bruised hed to prove it as I appear to have used my face to break my fall on more than one occation. What a great night.
The digs life is great with a few mishaps along the way, but a vast improvement from res. I have learnt a few things that will make next year's digs even better, and plans are in the wroks, so watch this space. Linds, Sean, Mel and Ash are good digs-mates and we hav mostly had a marvelous time of it all. I am really glad that mel FINALLY made it to Rhodes and we are the best of friends once again, although it took a while to get to know eachother properly again.
Jared and Cole came to visit for Goscelin's birthday. Jared seemed to have a great time that night, that included chundering at tap Huijs, in my car, on the floor next to the toilet, in Lindsay's bed and everywhere except the bucket we gave him and in the toilet itself!! He woke up with no memory of these events, but it made for a great story.
This has been my run-down of the year's events so far in brief. It was a little shopping-list like, but I just wanted them to be noted. I will add more current affairs next time now that we are up to speed again.

Third year is the charm
I realise that I have been a very bad little blogger and stopped with the tales after returning to SA. This is something that I would like to rectify, and as it is exams and I have some time on my hands every now and then (finally in this hectic year) I vow to return to the world of the bloggers. My number one fan the Candi will be happy, as I know I will always have one reader, so yay! The stories of what has happened so far will be coming soon...
