So, here I am writing a blog.
The shame is all consuming; I'm sitting thinking: "Am I gonna end up writing about how my life is a spiralling abyss? Am I going to be stalked by aging, gay computer nerds? Am I going to be called a homophobe for being worried that may happen? Or a sexist for not being scared of women stalkers (after all, they can kill me just as painfully as any man)..."
I feel immense trepidation; yet I'm still compelled to air my thoughts over this new medium...
I'm sure you're asking yourself questions too, most, if not all, beginning with the word "Why."
This may answer some of your questions.
You're reading this because your life IS a "spiralling abyss".
The blog is called Vokkoffazania, because that's exactly what I said as the plane's undercarridge left the asphault of Oliver Thambo International Airport three years ago. (My temper has been moderated since then.)
And the post is called "A New Hope," because I'm the guy who didn't play Luke Skywalker.
Here-in you shall find biased commentaries on everything I can think of, a few amusing anecdotes, and merely musings. The odd creative story might get thrown in the mix too.

No, I kid, I kid. 'Tis Nick here, by the way.
I'm somewhat amazed by the fact that you can actually remember saying something that you said all that time ago (And, yes, I noticed the paralells between "vokkoff" and a commonly used suggestion that I believe I made to Ian today). Good memory you seem to have.
Anyway, I'll check back here when there's more meat on this thing.

Well I should probably clarrify that I probably didn't say it immediately after take off (thats there for creative purposes, nor did I say it within earshot of the Afirmative Action appointed SAA flight attendant or my mother in the seat next to me. But I'm pretty certain I said it some where over SA airspace. Well Vokkoff is obviously something along the lines of "Fornicate away from here." Azania however is there especially for those who know a little something about South African politics, mostly prior to the end of Aparteid although the nut-jobs it reffers to still sort of exist.
*Apartheid.
Just a friendly correction.

Curse my phonetic spelling! Oh well.
