~ Update:- Amendment below 8)
It seems no matter where I am, I sure know how to track down the negative, and then bleat on about it in a typical Rant ‘n Rave. I can’t help it. I guess somehow I feel that bitching about stuff is actually going to help bring it to people’s attention and in some miraculous way, fix it. Or somehow I feel that ranting about it here will get it off my chest and perhaps make me feel better? Either way I’ve a better chance of falling pregnant!
However, it seems that even though I don’t spot it, there are actually some really good things going on in this place. There are some fantastic people doing some incredible things. I’m just sorry they are not stuck with me in traffic on the highway and sitting in restaurants experiencing terrible service! So, to take a page out of Don’s (from Jo’Blog fame) book, and also from S_20 (from commenting fame), I too will make mention of a site that has nothing but good things to say about this beloved country!
Take it away boys: South Africa – The Good News. Click on the link or click on the photo or if you really struggle with that simply go to: http://www.sagoodnews.co.za/
It’s just a pity good news doesn’t sell newspapers and people very rarely like to discuss happy thoughts. Death and destruction usually get a lot more airtime.
So does this mean I have turned over a new leaf and am now going to stop my bitching? Hell no! I will still write about stuff the way I see it and if it pisses me off then I will bitch about it. However I will try to write about positive situations too, if they jump out and grab my attention as negative stuff does.
Maybe you can help. Send me stories, ideas, photo’s etc etc that you would like me to post on your behalf. Try and prove me wrong. Convince me that there is more good than bad out there! HELP ME!! 8) Mail it all to OffTheHoox@Gmail.com
