So here I am sitting at work wondering whether I should go to gym or not.

Now it’s really important to have a good balance in life, something not too easy when it’s chucking down in Winter all the time. So when you get a chance to go for Sundowners you need to grab it!

It’s been such a fantastic day and work has been bearable, I bought myself some new clothing too, so all round its good. So while I was contemplating the thought of gym versus Doodles Beachfront for Sundowners, I glanced sidways out of my office window and got this snap…

A Cape Town Winters Day - Big Sky Over Table Mountain

It’s a no brainer really.

After all it is Tuesday and it is happy hour and they do have winter specials on the go.

Just to really double check if it is winter I cast a glance all ’round, not a cloud in sight…

Go for sundowners Joe go for Sundowners NOW!!

Yes my Sun.

The other day my mate Tamryn and I were sitting having Doodles Sundowners, with our regular REALLY crap view and awful lifestyle, when she snapped some cool pics. So I thought I’d post them now seeing as we are in the grips of the first winter cold front of Doom and this place certainly isn’t feeling like paradise today. It normally is, I promise.

The way I feel has absolutely nothing to do with Phil the Thrills 3.4 birthday party last night which ended up at my mates club at the Old Biscuit Mill, decoDance.

Incidentally people there are like a hundred million roadblocks out there so be reponsible and work with the authorities on this one. Don’t be a chop about it basically.

Anyway… I digress… where where we? Oh yes, we were here…

What a Shite view

Click the image for a larger version. I was only kidding, seriously, it’s not that shite. What was REALLY KAK was when there was a Jacob Zuma picture adorning the lamp post that Tamryn very cleverly did not get into her picture. Something I can’t do.

‘Cos I have a piece of shit camera.. and I NEVER blame my tools.

So we looked over a little and this jumped out at us.

Anyway there are tons of these vendor dudes that show off their wares along the strip and this guy was a most undustrious dude. Not only did he make a flippen massive wire motorbike, he also CHARGED for the picture, before telling us his dream was to make a wire Mandela in the Waterfront. So my obvious first thought was… ummm youre making wire motorbikes at the Blouberg Beachfront, what exactly is stopping you from making wire Mandelas at the Waterfront?

Nice Bike

I think these guys are well versed in what to say to ellicit that extra buck. Incidentally brutha maaaan, while talking about extra bucks and all that, what’s under the hat? This doesn’t take away from the fact they are obviously super talented.

Then, and in final reference to my all time favourite music video (for now that is) we spotted these birds trying to get on the boat.

Birds and a Boat

Not just any boat mind you, THE boat. The one from the video… which is just out of shot… promise [video here]

After a lazy luncheon with my mother for mothers day yesterday, I decided to go for sundowners. I was sitting at my usual sundowners place, Doodles Beachfront in Blouberg. Doodles is one of the best places for a Blouberg Sunset or Sundowners on Cape Town’s West Coast. Probably because of this really crappy view….

It’s really so kak.

Damn you Samsung Omnia DAMN YOU!! How dare you spoil such a beautiful shot!

This ones a little bit better. Can you see the boat? That’s NOT the one Im referring to, the one I refer to below was BIGGER, and slighty over to the right. Kinda Robben Eilandish.

What a lovely Catamaran

Iwas having a conversation with a really pretty young thing I had just met… when she said to me… hey…. look what kind of boat is that? She pointed over to what was VERY CLEARLY a cargo carrier sitting in Table Bay. I thought about this for a second then told her… it’s a Catamaran.

She was obviously trying to make conversation.

Using my absolute niceness that I hold within me, I eventually told her “No I’m only kidding thats a container carrier, would you like a tequila?”

All this got me thinking about one of my favourite music vids of all time. This is it.

I love a bit of satire on a monday morning evening. I just love the fact that these guys can take the piss out of anything and make it sound good. Its pretty funny too. I actually remember the first time I saw an RnB/HipHop boat scene. I thought then… Ummm ok these okes are on a boat now what? (talking of WHAT check this out.)

Nice to see I’m not the only one thinking these things.

For the more risque amongst you lets revisit another one of their offerings shall we? Remember Jizz in my pants? Another powerful song from The Lonely Island. Go here, but be warned, not for the prudes amongst us. Featuring Molly Sims. Gotta love it.
