After a weekend of rest and relaxation, my beard was performing at it's best. It's almost at that balaclava phase, where it will start to keep my cheeks and chin warm from this icy Cape Town cold front we're having. I have never let it grow past 8 days before, so this is going to get interesting. For me at least.
Today the itching and irritation will start kicking in, once I get through that I'm sure it's going to be smooth sailing... I hope. Today is the Fourth of July, the proudest day of year for Americans. The day they got their independence from Britain way back in 1776. Then again in 1996, when Will Smith saved 'Merica from aliens. What a legend. Only he can save the world from not only aliens but zombies too... Below is the theme song for this year's Fourth of July. This isn't awkward at all. A definite contender for not only a Grammy but for an MTV award for special effects. So I have entered day 3 of my epic "beard challenge", and using little to no effort I have reached the bum fluff stage or as the metrosexual's call it, 'the 5 o'clock shadow'. As you can see, it's sprouting quite nicely with no patches... Like a real man.
On Monday we should start seeing some more results, but in the meantime have a look at these interesting beard facts, which of course is all true. I was flipping through the channels last night, and stumbled upon Top Billing. Oh. My. God. The presenters are SUPER shit. I haven't been watching normal tv for quite some time now, so it all bounced back to me as to how shit South African tv presenters actually are.
Why after having tv in our country for 38 years, have we not perfected the art of presenting?. The only guy I can actually give some credit to is Riaan Cruywagen, but he's had like a hundred years of experience reading the news. Believe it or not, he was shipped in by the BBC in 1976 and taught to speak Afrikaans just so he could have his life long dream of being a lead anchor of the Prime Time news... But this isn't about news readers, our news readers are world class. Well, the Etv ones. By far. Anyways, back to the point. Why can't any of our presenters hold a conversation without it being awkward, it always seems so forced. If you look at American television, their presenters are always oozing with confidence and know exactly how to keep a conversation flowing. You can clearly see that their presenters have gone through some sort of heavy training with actual people. Not like our presenters, who had one good audition and then automatically put in front of a camera crew and BAM, they're an overnight celebrity. Not a real celeb, but a South African celeb... No blue tick next to their name on Twitter and shit. This isn't only about Top Billing, I remember Idols, when that freakishly tall blonde chick, Liezel van der westhuizen was the host. What the actual fuck was Mnet thinking? How the hell was she even allowed to have a mic yet alone BE on tv?! It took a while but someone eventually noticed and now she's on the radio. Reading the traffic. Seriously though, someone needs to step in and give these people some training. This shit isn't funny. It might be funny for a bit, but then it gets awkward and cringe worthy. 38 YEARS!!! Come on damnit! Mandela was in jail for 27 and he came out and lead the country. 38 Years of tv and we can't even present a crappy show about rich people's houses and other random shit. Pull your finger out your ass big tv bosses, whoever you are, and give us some good tv. Or at least try a little harder. Here's the start to a sixth paragraph for no particular reason. Yip skiddly doo!!! That's how this video starts... A bunch of red necks riding down the river after a fishing trip or just a day out drinking beer and seeing how far they can spit, whatever. Something must've gone wrong because the guy filming is being towed by the boat in front on their way back to Jackson, Mississippi or somewhere close to that. Bobby Joe in the front boat shouts to Bubba to chuck him a beer. Check what happens... Ouch! Ever feel that some things in life is just so damn tough? Like trying to find your luggage at the airport, or trying to remove blood stains from your clothing? (don't ask)... Well here's few life hacks that will simplify your life... Pleasure. The latest craze to hit the internet is Stocking. It's when people take stock photos and reenact them... Some of the results are pretty funny. |
