My little can of beans

So who would have figured that after a most challenging day of doing what I do best in our little existence here in Zeroville, that I would come home to relax, lie on the couch and have my ass kicked? Did you see it coming? I sure as hell didn’t.

So my nice comfortable tight little lid on my little can of beans was ripped from it’s place of false security and my ass was kicked so hard that my beans scattered everywhere for everyone to see. Actually it was an everyone of one! And actually the ass kicking was in the most mind blowing way possible.

How?

If I had to answer 3 seemingly easy questions and instantly failed to do so, my questions would be answered for me. Just as instantly. Answered in a way that no one could. No one has that information. Its my can. They’re my beans! Until now.

Have you ever had your story told to you in bullet points? Its really something else. Especially when the story teller keeps hitting the nail on the head.

How?

Alright, so for now forget the how. Its the reality that counts. I question too much. I analyze. Its in me. I’m a trouble shooter, solution provider and fault finder. I need to stop finding faults and focus on other talents.

Moving forward its time to rub my ass and scoop my beans back together but this time trying to leave the lid off. There are some amazing beans in there that I have to let breathe and soak in some sunshine.

Keep the faith

Holiday!

After much deliberation, contemplation and master…ful thinking, I decided that it was the New Zealanders that were going to be honoured with the presence of Hoox. I know, they’re lucky aren’t they? It’s a damn long haul from Zeroville so they better appreciate it!

All considered, planned, booked and paid for. New Zealand… Here I come!

Hoox… You’re such a Raging Alcoholic

This song is by a guy who’s a bit of a legend.

 Sip here.

His name is Marc Andre Belliveau. He’s a French Canadian extreme skier (quite a famous one). He also writes and performs this kind of blues/rock, which is pretty cool.

Hoox… You’re such ‘n Soutie

I tried my hand at Afrikaans this morning and I think it’s only fair to say that I sucked! It’s horrendous. I leave the country for 7 years and it’s all gone. All that Afrikaans that I learned in school in order to achieve a passing grade (35%) on Lower Grade just to get through matric (year 12) and it’s all gone! I have just enough Afrikaans left to impress someone who doesn’t even know where South Africa is. You know the country I am referring to! ;-)

The name Soutie I think was supposed to be some kind of insult derived by the Dutch settlers (Afrikaaners) as a way to describe the English settlers in South Africa. Now Soutie is actually an abbreviation of the name Soutpiel. Translated directly, sout = salt and piel(sl) = penis. This came from the idea that the English had 1 foot in South Africa and 1 foot in England and their penis hanging in the salt water of the Atlantic Ocean hence Salt Penis or Soutpiel. This was eventually shortened to the term Soutie.

I am a Soutie. But then again, if I think about it, all the places I have been with one foot securely planted in South Africa, my piel must have been dipped in a few oceans, blistered over a few deserts of North Africa, dragged up and down a few mountains and also left to chill in some snow. Imagine the imagery I just went though to work that out – lol. So maybe I’m not just a Soutpiel. My piel is worldly, streetwise, it’s happening man! Ok a little enthusiastic. My piel is just a well traveled piel and I’m proud to be called a Soutpiel!

Hoox… You’re Such a Legend

Thanks to a certain colleague of mine out here, I have acquired a new nickname which happens to be the name of a 60′s/70s cheesy hippy pop country rock band called Dr Hook. They do have a few pretty awesome tracks though.
