Have you had a rough May? Fight it! Move on!

Today is the 1 June – Fabulous. Put May behind you and MOVE ON!  Editorista has rare esoteric moments where she goes a little mushy, lets go a bit of the cynic and sceptic that are close at hand and gets a little deep.  While having a chat with a friend about mind power and then researching it a bit, she came across this list of “70 Things to Always Remember”.   A couple of lines in the list, though simplistic and cheesy, really hit home for her and she wanted to share them with all the Representers today! So if you or someone close to you is going through a rough patch- be it business, family, matters of the heart or you’re just plain miserable, angry, frustrated or blaming others or the world, read the list or send the link on for some cheese and biscuit therapy.  If any of these hit home for you, let us know 🙂 .  But whatever you do – MOVE ON!!! The list comes from Danielle Hollister of Ezine articles – click here.  Photo by one of the wisest people I know – Ipps K. 70 Things To Always Remember 1. To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world. 2. Your presence is a present to the world. 3. You are unique and one of a kind. 4. Your life can be what you want it to be. 5. Take the days just one at a time. 6. Count your blessings, not your troubles. 7. You will make it through whatever comes along. 8. Within you are so many answers. 9. Do not put limits on yourself. 10. Decisions are too important to leave to chance. 11. Reach for your peak, your goal and your prize. 12. Nothing wastes more energy than worrying. 13. The longer one carries a problem the heavier it gets. 14. Do not take things too seriously. 15. Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets. 16. Remember that a little love goes a long way. Remember that a lot … goes forever. 17. Remember that friendship is a wise investment. 18. Life’s treasure are people together. 19. Realize that it is never too late. 20. Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way. 21. Have hearth and hope and happiness. 22. Life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you respond to it. 23. Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily. 24. Take the time to wish upon a star. 25. Words are windows to the heart. 26. You are richer today if you...

How do you feel about the Vodacom Meerkat?

How do you feel about the Vodacom Meerkat?

Thanks to Aquoibon for the lead and Generalista for the reminder… We’ve been caught up in Facebook since we joined and find ourselves mindlessly and hopelessly addicted… we say again JOIN NOW if you need a distraction from the real world!  But don’t blame us if you get fired.  The strangest thing about Facebook is how people from nursery school manage to find you!  You’ll know what we mean if you’re a member.  Anyway, it’s not just about all the mates you can gather or leaving embarassing messages on a friends wall, it’s also about the crazy groups that exist.  We were delighted to discover the group aptly entitled: I f*cking hate the animated meerkat from Vodacom. Editorista once got herself in a lot of trouble for pointing out that it was an annoying, strange, bad taste, obscure and an irrelevant, unknown icon for a local brand and that we f*cken hated it…. But she was delighted to find out that hundreds, in fact over 10000 facebook users feel the same way!  Isn’t that a good feeling. Thing is, we don’t wanna spoil the fun or spill the beans…. you have to be a member of Facebook to find out more about it… so sign up now!  Try sign up on the 1 June if you can 😉 AND MAKE SURE YOU JOIN OUR http://represent.johannvisagie.com/ GROUP TOO so we can put a face to your name...

“My Man’s all over Aqua Teen Hunger Force”

“My Man’s all over Aqua Teen Hunger Force”

Sisiwami is jealous of a cartoon – we wish her luck:  Reading up about Aqua Teen Hunger Force on Wikipedia I find out it’s been around since 2000.  I’m so relieved my man only got into it in 2007 ‘coz he just can’t get enough and I’m fighting for attention from a pack of french fries and his two mates. OK – so he’s got a mind unlike any other I know (hence…) so if you like stuff that is off-the-wall, twisted and slightly dark, make sure to watch a few episodes of ATHF on YouTube – You’ll LOVE it.  You can watch the bag of chips (Frylock), a milkshake (Master Shake) and a hamburger pattie (Meatwad) hanging out with their bad-rock-music-listening neighbour Carl.  It’s sick! (as in awesome and gross in this instance) Here’s an intro from Wikipedia: The show is about three anthropomorphic fast food items and their life together in New Jersey. The Aqua Teens were originally billed as a detective crime fighting unit; as the series progressed, however, the crime-solving aspect of the show was quickly abandoned. There is very little continuity between episodes; almost all recurring cast members have died at least once. The focus is instead on character interaction and a pervasive form of sarcastic and surreal humor. Gross out, brutal, and morbid humor were added as the series progressed. ATHF is part of the globally popular adult cartoon package [Adult Swims] that airs on DSTV’s GO TV from 23:00 to 01:00.  You can also watch another of my beau’s favourites during Adult Swims like Robot Chicken and there’s also The Brak Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021, The Venture Bros, Stroker and Hoop and Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law. Or you can do like my man does and watch a few episodes on YouTube. [youtube]ZptXMISkljc[/youtube] There’s an Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie coming out this year… see IMDB here for...
