It’s true what the elusive they say, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. I’ve got nothing interesting to tell, nothing quirky to write, no desire to pick up the phone or get dressed up. Never mind going the extra mile. I know what I want to do, want to feel and [ Read More ]
I work within the wondrous realm of social media. It’s a mystical place social media, a mystical place indeed. So damn mystical that every day is a new chapter in The Adventures of Arné in Social Media Land. It’s such a new playing field that there is no winning formula and no full proof recipe. [ Read More ]
There’s nothing to make you realise that the new wave in the way we communicate and market is mobile than being without your cell phone for a week. I tell you, I nearly lay on the floor in the murder victim position with a look of dazed confusion on my face, for the first few [ Read More ]
Yes, yes, yet another cover makes my blog cut. However, this one takes the cake. No, what’s better than cake? Pecan nut pie… Yes, this cover takes the pecan nut pie with fresh cream served by Jared Leto as breakfast in bed on a rainy Sunday morning. It gives me chills up my spine when [ Read More ]
It’s been a long hard summer. I’m lying. I hardly did the summer thing at all this year. In fact I didn’t even bother shopping for the annual bikini. The only time my pale face touched a pool was when I got shoved into the waters one evening, I didn’t appreciate that. Anyhow, winter is [ Read More ]
This is yet another blog post which got unceremoniously deleted by somebody that I use to know (you’re thinking of that song now aren’t you?). I can’t remember what my initial thoughts or feelings were about this the band Manchester Orchestra and more particularly this song, Virgin, and this specific performance as well. However, I can tell you [ Read More ]
Florence and her well-oiled machine have once again (in 2010) blessed our deprived ears with her enchanting voice and musical talents. Holy shit this girl can sing. I’ve recently become deeply involved with cover music. Perhaps it’s the out with the old and in with the new train of thought, but mostly it’s because I’m [ Read More ]
Sanity is underrated. Just look at poor Jeremy Rush, naked, pounding on the ground, screaming obscenities. Could this all be the symptoms of cracking under the pressure? Most likely. To prevent myself of going stark, raving mad I indulge in the little things. It’s those little things that keep my marbles intact, my pigs in [ Read More ]
You’re told when you are a kid to always try your best, give it your all and that hard work always pays off. Pffft, whatever. That’s all bullshit. You can try your best, it won’t make you the best, it might not even be good enough to make you mediocre. You can give it your [ Read More ]
This song is amazing. An oldie but a goodie (don’t you just detest that saying, oh well, too late now, it’s stuck in my head). It’s one of those songs I loop all day at work with the hope I know it off by heart when I get home to my guitar. It doesn’t work. Shhhh and [ Read More ]
This blog post is a bit personal for my comfort but hells bells, it’s a personal blog after all. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you are that put off rather read the post about, urm, The Band of Skulls, you might like that one. O.k so I was procrastinating again and that got [ Read More ]
No one warns you as you grow up that you will come to an age where wedding season lasts for years on end. Years! I’m in my mid twenties and I can’t remember when last there wasn’t a wedding looming on my schedule. You would think that with the sad face of divorce statistics people would be wiser about [ Read More ]
This is merely a copy of a blog post, of a blog post which no longer exists… rather ghostly isn’t it? Dramatics aside, I wrote a post about this gorgeous short film done by Andrew Brauteseth, a Cape Town photographer, but unfortunately the post along with the rest of the blog, all the content, plugins, time and [ Read More ]
I recently had the opportunity to observe an array of people in a nervous environment. They all come from different walks of life, a wide variety of cultures, all corners of the country and only had one topic of interest in common, which brought them together. I had to interview this gander of diverse geese; [ Read More ]
I cringe when watching romantic movies, not just because it’s romantic but also I feel embarrassed for the characters. People in emotion are irrational, don’t think logically, overreact, get overly jealous, but mostly they are addicts for dramatics. If these films are supposed to have a direct cord to your soppy, cheesy, romantic selves then I never want to be in that [ Read More ]
