Been going through some changes and I gotta admit this blog has taken a bit of a back seat. I was originally planning on retooling the site to support and host a business idea I have…. sadly though life and work in general have consumed the bulk of my time, keeping me from this. I dont want this blog to be about work, nor do I want it to be my emotional vent spot… I have a blogs for those specific reasons already!!
So what is to become of this here The Flipside?? Who knows, I’m getting up to alsorts of new things these days and they’re all prooving to be rather interesting. I might just fill the site with my adventures or discoveries. Tales of surfing and learning the world of surfboards, waves and wetsuits…. or howz about following my discoveries into the world of film and story telling for film. I wouldn’t mind directing a film one day and I guess its not to far from possibility, so getting into story and film is perfect training for that!!
In the meantime life goes on, and when does it ever stop really! We’re nearly at the end of a year and it was only may that I last posted on this blog, may that I had a great business idea, may that I was filled with ideas of escaping my current industry, living off the new business and finally getting back to being my own boss like I was back in my feelance design days. Here I sit though writing a blog that basically talks of staying in the same industry for another good 5 years… I have no intentions in directing a film until I am 30 at least and that’s well, two years away!! Wow scary thought….
You gotta hate it… when you’re in the mood to write but for some reason you’re brain is just blank. Thats me tonight I’m afraid! Quite comfortable in bed with the new Jamiroquai Album – Rock Dust Light Star and loving every minute of it. It feels rather weird to be cruising around my flat with my big Sony Earphones on plugged into my CD-Walkman! Lol, yes I have not ripped it to mp3 to go on the iPod… its actually quite amazing how much better the sound quality is coming off the CD, sorta makes me wanna pull out all the old CDs (oh wait, I left them all in Joburg when I moved to CT :p) I actually kinda enjoy it when I’m back in Joburg raiding the old CD cabinet and pumping some of my more old school CDs. Lately though, I have been having a major urge to buy myself a sweet little old school record player and buying a few LPs this Jamiroquai album is available on Vinyl… that along with a strobe light lol! Yeeehaaa!!
Having breakfast at Knead on Sunday, I was watching all the surfers cruising in and out of the water and I think the surfing bug got under my skin just a little. A few years back now (2007) I did a few surf lessons whilst here on holiday and I really enjoyed it… so considering that I live minutes from the beach I think its time to smashing few more sessions in the water with some slightly smaller boards… as much as a 6’5″ guy needs a 9′ board its just a little to big for my liking… thinking of having a go on maybe a 6′ board if such a thing even exists lol! I think the visual of me on a smaller board however would just be ridiculous! Its time to get myself plugged into the surfing community so I know when the good days are! Like they say, ‘when in rome…..’
