Happy New Year 2005

As I thought about what to write on my BLOG this week I remembered a famous quotation by Winston Churchill, "Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." 2005 Year of the Rooster This is what I took from 2004, one of the best and worst years for me. In business I achieved some measure of success Read More →

Stress Tension Loneliness Depression

A friend of mine Jess Miller wrote a book called "We're all in this together". In the book he spoke about Stress, Tension, Loneliness and Depression (STLD). I have been trough two serious bouts of depression first in at the end of 1999 and into 2000 and then to a lesser extend in 2001. These days the depression is mild but I feel it from time to time. My thoughts are like those thoughts I had back then. Life is to much, everything is so complicated, I wish I could start all over again. It is in such times Read More →

An Ode to Tania Hoffman

I have beautiful memories about YOU. Thanks you for all you have taught me about Life. We had it all for a moment in time: friendship, love, pain, joy, happiness, anger, wisdom, pleasure, blessings. This is the last goodbye to my beautiful ex-girlfriend, Tania Hoffman. Loosing my Faith in Fate was the last poem I wrote in November 2004 after we broke up. You really inspired me more then anyone had done in many years. Maybe I can remind you of how amazing things were not so long ago when I wrote my first poem for you in May 2004: Read More →

I Want To Believe

X-Files Poster - I Want To BelieveThis was a quote on a poster always present in the office of Fox Mulder from the X-Files. The last X-Files season ended about a month or two ago in South Africa. Wanting to believe in something seems to be inherent in most of humanity. If you want to believe there is a God, whatever you want to call him, or if you want to believe there is NOT a God, it is your choice. However, we all Read More →

Vista University – I salute you

They say there is a time to reap, a time to sow. There's a time to be happy and a time to be sad. Today as I'm preparing for exams on Tuesday, 8 June, I'm thinking back to my initial tertiary education at Vista University. In 1992 they visited my high school, Uitenhage High, and gave a presentation on the benefits on joining Vista. Thinking about it as logically as possible I concluded it was in the best interest of the family for me to go an do my BSc at Vista instead of University of Read More →

Trying to imagine a future possibility

I've had a flu since last Friday and the coughing comes out in bursts. Besides that and little else I've been spending time with a real special person. She cannot be named right now but I hope to real soon. A good friend and more she has emerged from a shell and allowed me into her heart. Suffice it to say I'm on the road to happiness again !-) Just kidding I've been very happy with my life for the last several years since I conqured depression the 2nd time around. I first read a book by Jess Miller called Read More →

Happy Birthday to Me in April 2004

Well its that time of the year ago. But this time there is no cake, no candles to blow out. I'm supposed to be grown up. Well I still miss those things that makes you feel special. Between the ages of 10-13 my mother baked several cakes that resembled the numbers of my age. Those are still classic memories I have and the photos of the events put a huge smile on my face. Last week I split up with my girlfriend Sandra, and what a freak of nature it happens just before my birthday. Now I am alone but Read More →

Information Science exams to complete my Post Graduate Diploma

Well I must apologise for not writing more often in the last 3 weeks. I am never afraid to face adversity as I have encountered much of it in the past 4 years. New challenges always rear their ugly head when you least expect it. I wrote exams during 3-7 November for my Information Science degree at Rand Afrikaans University in Johannesburg. I didn't work particularly hard throughout the year as I found the areas of research very interesting. So I discovered I already had a lot of background information on the various topics and I just had Read More →

Happy birthday dearest Mother

Today is my mother, Illona Murray's 57th birthday. I'm not sure exactly what to say to my mother when I wish her today. She is living in Uitenhage and I live in Johannesburg. During February I spent 3 weeks visiting her and it was essentially my December holiday. Like all mothers and son's we have have good times and bad times, we're close and we're far apart. When I was growing up she was a strong role model, a single mother who worked for First National Bank for 33 years. Every day we spent a little bit of Read More →
