(Untitled)....

Hello all....and welcome to my world of life, love and everything else!!

I've been going back and forth as to what my first post should be. Truth be told, there are so many issues on my mind right now, I couldn't decide.

So I thought a little introductory post, telling you of what I think has been dominating world headlines in recent days. However, I don't think it's all newsworthy. Some of it is disturbing, and other news just damn right shocking.

In my home country, sunny South Africa, it just seems as if there's nothing good to report. The world capital of marijuana, corrupt politicians, and a run-up to a national election, which will be messy....let's hope not bloody.

And of course, the sex tape, of our former rugby captain....Joost van der Westhuizen. It's their own business if he's cheating on his lovely wife, but sadly, I don't think it's the first time, or that she didn't know of it. She's just very pissed right now, because everyone knows. Question remains: is it newsworthy? Does this deserve to dominate news headlines and make front page? I think not....sex tapes are nothing new, and hundreds more will pop out of the woodworks of 'famous people' before 2012.

Now disturbing news is a 13-year-old becoming a father. He looks like a 6-year-old, holding his younger sibling. Why are our kids doing grown up stuff? Now I might sound a little old (kinda) and conservative (not that bad), it's just that your childhood passes by so quickly, you should enjoy it doing kiddie things. I mean, dog knows that once you hit 16, it's just downhill from there....tax, responsibility, relationships, work, pressure, etc, etc, etc. If I could go back to my innocent youth of playing with Malibu Barbie, I'd go in a second.

And now...probably the top entertainment story before the Oscars take over....the Rihanna being assaulted pics. Just awful....no words can explain the pain I felt after seeing the pic.
