… shit, sorry, I dropped my Glock in my condom drawer there …
anyway, as I was saying … what was I saying … (if only I could get laid I’d be able to writer better …)
… later …
So anyway, here I have been writing all this drivel all these years when really what I have been expressing is my strong desire to be hired as a journalist for a reputable news publication (ok, that is ironic). Hmmpf, if only I realised that before I started making a contribution to a community of people who address important issues like broadband penetration, racism and bigotry, crime and justice in South Africa and a number of similarly petty issues! All this blogging (I shudder to think what effect I have had on the general fabric of society with my podcasting too!) and I am two keystrokes away from becoming another Cho Seung-Hui.
I, for one, am grateful to Mr Bullard for his intervention. We South Africans are most fortunate to have such an open-minded, pro-free speech, sensitive, hip and ethical journalist (a real journalist, mind you, not some flunky “citizen media sociopath”). I certainly hope those The Times people are paying attention here. That blogging voodoo stuff is just bad news!
I am going to finish cleaning my gun and then I am packing away my laptop for sure.
Update:
Here are some thoughts by a few other misguided souls (I can almost feel religion coming on … or is that a rash?):
Nic Haralambous
Uno De Waal
Marius
Mike Stopforth
Further update:
My wife is most concerned about the paucity of decent writing on the local blogosphere and has promised to help me improve my writing soon (this offer is limited to me).
