I don't really know who I'm talking to when I say "You" but I guess the ambiguity is what makes it that much easier to offload anything on the mind, with no restrictions and/or limitations.
The last time I made a post here was somewhere in August last year (2012). I haven't actually read what I posted all those months ago because six months ago I was in a very different space, both physically and emotionally, and I guess even a bit spiritually. So, if I were to go ahead and read what I wrote(typed?) back then, I'd be scared that it may influence anything I have to say today, now. Which would be unfortunate because it wouldn't be 100% sincere. So instead I'm literally going to ramble about whatever crosses my mind.
Ok, let's start with the relatively important milestones.
I'm back in South Africa.
I finished work in New York in late September and decided to spend some time with family after living on another continent for almost a year. So I headed to Durban to visit my loving mother, and by pure chance the dates coincided with my aunt, uncle and cousins' visit to South Africa (they immigrated to Australia several years ago and I hardly ever see them, once every few years would be accurate) so it was awesome spending some family time with them. Being away for so long makes one appreciate family that much more. I have to constantly remind myself to be more appreciative of my family and show them on a regular basis just how much I love them. 
After Durban (October) I decided to travel around South Africa a little, visiting a few old friends, and some relatively more recent ones. I went from Durban back to Joburg, followed by a stint in Pretoria, back to Joburg, then Cape Town, BACK to Joburg and finally ending back in Durban (December). While in Durban I decided I'd pick up a "holiday" job while visiting family, bar-tending at the local night club (entitled XS NiteClub in Umhlanga). This was a very.. interesting experience, to say the least. It was definitely not as financially prosperous as I had hoped it would be, but eye opening nevertheless. Twas awesome to have Christmas with both parents though, with my dad moving to Durban in December as well (another coincidence, I know right?). I'm trying to think of the last time I spent Christmas with both my parents on the same day and I can't remember any specific year since the divorce, which is over ten years back.
Now I skipped past something fairly important. In fact I should probably say some one, because when/if she reads this at a later stage she might slap me for calling her "something". When I mentioned that "stint in Pretoria" I was actually visiting a very old school friend, and at his 21st, I happened to meet someone. And yes, when I say "meet someone" I mean MEET someone. She's pretty amazing, but when I looked back on previous posts I noticed I spent way too much time going on and on about how much I was in love and how supposedly perfect my girlfriend was. Not that I don't feel the same way, but no one really wants to read that, other than her and me. But yes, her name is Bee - short for Bongiwe Nhlangulela, and she's awesome. Beautiful. Amazing. Sexy. Cute. Funny. Breath taking. She makes me very happy and I hope one day she can see herself the way I see her. This was in early November, but by chance she happened to be in Durban a lot of the time I was there too, so we got to spend a lot of time together, with the family too. We're coming up on three months. AND it's her birthday tomorrow - wonder if she thought I'd remember? 
So - back to the main story here. After Durban, I moved back to Cape Town in January. It's been almost two years since I lived here, so it's fairly familiar to me, considering I'm staying in the same area I lived before. I'm sharing a flat with two of my friends (that only move in in the next week or two) but I'm feeling really excited about the next year and what's to come. I found a job fairly quickly, working as a waiter at Banana Jam Cafe just down the road. It's a less-than-10-minute walk, so I'm very happy that I got so lucky with it, the vibe, ambiance, staff and people in general are very chilled, after my first day I already dig the job. Of course it's only second priority because I also have a new development as far as my studies go. I'm not sure if anyone remembers - or if I did even mention in my blog - but I applied to UCT (The University of Cape Town) last year. Well I got my application back (late last year) and to my disappointment found that I had been denied entrance due to low matric marks. So what I'm doing this year is basically "re-doing" matric, with INTEC College, I guess you could call it a bridging course. This was as per the advice of multiple parties, including UCT. If all goes to plan, I will get good enough marks come the end of the year, re-apply to UCT, and get in this time. So as I said, work is second priority and studying is first, but I still need the moola to keep me going (rent, water/elec, food, internet, strippers, etc).
So yeah, that's the past six months in a relatively short synopsis. Of course I'm sure more interesting events did occur but I can't exactly recall what happened on a day to day basis.
Watched quite a few movies recently. Les Miserables was spectacular, don't miss it. Flight was also very sensational, especially the first twenty minutes, cinematography was mind-blowing.
I'll leave you on a humourous note. Some funny pictures (for the entertainment aspect of this blog!) and The Lonely Island (Jizz in my pants, I just had sex, Shy Ronnie, etc) posted a new video. #YOLO
Au revoir!
