So Oppikoppi confirmed the Used but shortly after they announced that Chevelle are not coming to South Africa for the festival, personally it suits me more because I am in fact not very fond of Chevelle. The Used are one of those bands that I listened to in High School with Sum41, so this will be like a High School reunion for me, listening to bands I admired when I was still a teenager. But in my wildest thoughts I would never have thought I would see them live, and in South Africa.
But there are those people that are demanding a refund for the ticket they already purchased because they wont be able to see Chevelle. Come on, Oppikoppi is not just about the bands, sure it plays a big part in the whole setup. Oppi is a destination away from the busy city life to a world that a few have experienced, it is a place where race, gender or social status does not play roles. It is where chaos reigns, and that is why I am going, the bands are just a BIG PLUS!
So go if you have a ticket, if you want to sell it, do it! Just remember that you will be missing a great party.
Jackass star Ryan Dunn died on Monday morning in a car crash in Pennsylvania at the age of 34. The news was confirmed by April Margera. Dunn and another passenger died in a 03:00 crash in his Porsche 911 GT3 on Route 322 in West Goshen Township, Pennsylvania.
Hours before his accident he posted this photo on his Twitter profile, which shows him drinking with two friends. Meanwhile, Jackass crew expressed their grief by issuing the following statement:
"I don’t really know what to say right now everybody because the sadness is overwhelming, but today we lost one of our own. Our brother Ryan Dunn has passed. He died in a car wreck in West Goshen, Pennsylvania, this morning at 3:00am. Goddamn that's tough to write.
As we get more info we will let you know, but right now our hearts go out to his family and to his beloved Angie. Ryan will be missed and remembered by us all. Thanks for the kind words of support everybody."
In a tweet, Johnny Knoxville said, "RIP Ryan, I love you buddy."
Tom Green wrote "Just heard that Ryan Dunn from Jackass died last night in a car wreck. Rest In Peace Ryan,"
Dunn's fans also expressed their grief on MTV.com, saying "We will never forget all the laughs you gave us" and "Rest in peace, bro. You're pranking God now, that lucky bastard."
Bam Margera has yet to join Johnny Knoxville, Steve-Oand his other fellow Jackass co-stars in releasing a statement about the loss of their dear comrade, Ryan Dunn, who died early this morning in a fatal car crash at the age of 34. But his parents Apriland Phil Margera have opened up about their son’s grief as well as their own in an on-air interview.
“I think we are still processing the whole thing, really,” April told earlier today in a video interview. “I know you are, I am, and we’re just worried, you know, about our Bam. He’s out of town and was just told, so, he’s devastated, needless to say.
She continued: “I mean, we’re close with all the Jackass guys but, you know, of course, the Jackass guys from West Chester who spent a lifetime here at our house, especially when they were younger in high school … and they’ve made something of themselves. Ryan was just Bam’s really dear friend, and we just loved him. We all did.”
“I just, I actually can’t even believe it,” April added.
With all the rumors that are generated in the media these days, Phil thought Ryan’s death was a hoax at first.
April said she even would receive Mother’s Day wishes from Ryan.
Steve-OTweeted the simple statement: “I don’t know what to say, except I love Ryan Dunn and I’m really going to miss him.”
But now this article came online suggesting the whole thing was a hoax to market the new upcoming movie, I don’t know if it is true.
If it is not, all condolences to the family and RIP Ryan!
This is probably one of the most upsetting video clips from South Africa ever, a 26 year old man was beaten to death in Diepsloot, Johannesburg. A mob repeatedly threw him with bricks and a unknown man destroyed his face with a wooden plank, he was still alive when it happened.
His crime was that he was from Zimbabwe......
This has put South Africa yet again in a bad light internationally, and therefore having a negetive impact on our society.
Exactly like this, which is actually quite frightening because when I was a kid I loved these things. Good thing I am older and only play on these things when the hard liquor is flowing.
Leon Botha died at the age of 26 from Progeria on Sunday, he was believed to be the oldest person with this condition.
What a loss of such a talented person, despite having a disease that makes you age so fast, he still made great music and lived a life that only a few could grasp.
Botha was known for both his DJ and artistic talent, he appeared in Die Antwoord’s smash hit music video Enter the Ninja.
What sums up Leon for me, has got to be this quote:
"I am too focused on living my life as it is, to constantly draw my energy or focus towards my physical "state". Just like any other human being, I don’t like to be reduced to a condition or a statistic & I sure as hell won’t end up on one of the photos to be paraded on websites to inspire pity & shit… wrong guy."
RIP Leon, you lived life to the fullest and probably still making beats in a better place.
I want these awesome gadgets, they will benefit me and my missus. I don’t know if they are outdated or if I just never saw them earlier but they caught my eye now. Take the first one for example, Ipod panties...it really doesn’t get any better than that. Remove them while listening to some great music can get anybody in the mood for some good old loving.
Who wants to listen to your body getting rid of extra bodily masses when you got this baby, a shit playshit may be created in the time you are spending on the throne. Excuse the pun.
This may be the ugliest bra style ever created because it looks like some headlights in the Daspoort tunnel and lacks the punch of hot teasing panties but it will do the trick in my book. The funniest design attribute has got to be the buttons which will be located right above the nipple of your lady friend, meaning that you will be skipping through her crap playlist while she thinks you are trying to get it on, which most guys (like me) will obviously fail to notice.
I need one of these, no more stuck in traffic and no more idiotic taxi drivers cutting in front of me. I will be doing the cutting into them without worrying about a thing. The downside is that I will probably have to start saving 5 years ago or marry a millionaire’s ugly daughter to have one of these in my garage.
What is up with this woman, her wardrobe consists of the most absurd and weird things. It will not surprise me if she has a fridge or a small butchery in her closet because where the hell does she come up with all her fashion ideas. I have also read somewhere that she doesn’t wear the same thing twice (not sure if it is entirely true), personally I don’t blame her cause meat and plants don’t stay fresh forever, they rot some or other time.
And all these rumors that she is the Antichrist, the devil’s right hand is so funny. Story is that she apparently sold her soul to him in exchange for a shot at fame. If this is true then the Jonas Brothers, Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus are so screwed for eternity. Seriously who believes that she is going to take over the world?!
Not me, I absolutely detests her music and fashion sense, give it two years and then there will be some other new pop musician that will have the world by his/her feet the same way she did. It has happened before and will keep on happening because that is the way the world thinks. And I love the way people reads into her music lyrics expecting demons whispering their rude intentions with your mom on songs. Crazy much hey?
To cap of my discussion about Miss GAGA, here is a few pictures on how exactly not to look like the Antichrist, makes you wonder?
You read it and now it is time to prepare for the premier music festival in South Africa where the 3 days of chaos and dust separate the iron livers from the virgins. The Oppikoppi farm is allocated inside Northam in the bush where all hell will break lose.
This year’s theme is Unknown Brother and it will not let you down in any way. What you can expect is a lot of drinking, sex in uncomfortable places, sunburn, frostbite in your toes, dust everywhere, wandering drunk alone in the dark, delicious Shwarma’s, Francios van Coke, cold showers, thorns in every finger, friends trying to funnel every alcohol drink in your campsite, stumbling around for wood, penis shaped drawings on your car window, missing half of the music acts, losing your buddies every 5 minutes, Black Label, passing out next to your tent, tequila shot glasses around your neck, broken danger tape and in plain words, a rocking good time.
If these things are what you detest, Koppi is not for you because escaping it is inevitable and missing all the fun. I have seen the best of the festival has to offer and it has exceeded my expectations each year. It will be happening on the weekend of the 5th of August so there is still roughly about two months to prepare and get your shit ready. Remember that the Tuesday is in fact a public holiday so fill in your leave form for the Monday and throw it in your boss’s desk as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
What I can tell you to bring is just basically warm clothes (old stuff because it will become fire wood), a durable tent, lots of firewood, medical supplies, buy food at the stalls there (bringing your own food will result in you not eating it at all), so much alcohol it could kill a herd of wildebeest, friends that don’t bitch and moan, a good old pair of shoes(think All Star high tops), anything that can provide light (a cellphone will probably not work) and the attitude to have a good time.
So there you have it, all of these things equals a damn good time with good people and a awesome vibe.
I will personally be going a day before to get a good camp site and just to get away from the busy city life, so if you are going for the first time, just remember that what happens at Koppi, stays at Koppi!
Some people have got a lot of time and money on their hands doing such a thing.
If you haven't seen the movie Up, it is about a old guy that flew a house with balloons....it is not that bad.
National Geographic did their own little experiment on the 5th of March 2011 and it will air on tv later in the year about their self made "UP" house that actaully flies.
It had 300 weather balloons carrying it up to 10,000 feet for one hour from a American airport.
They even had their own "Russel" at the the event.
If you didn't say "Aaaahhhhhhh" when you saw this picture, there must be something wrong with your cute detector.
I personaly craved for a little something different when I got at the drive through at Mcd's the other day.We all mostly order the same stuff, Macfeast Deluxe or a Big Mac is usually the norm.
Imagine maybe something a tad different, Pasta or a Shrimp burger at Macdonalds, even a beer would be extraordinary.What follows now is a few pics and descriptions of what other people eat daily at your favourite fast food joint around the world:
McSpaghetti. Spaghetti noodles served in sweet tomato-based sauce.
McPizza, it's a standard pan size with tomato basting.
Meet the Chicken strip porridge
In Asia, you can order up a McHotdog Mega Breakfast Sausage.
Onion rings in Europe
Sausage and egg pasta
Mcshrimp burger in Hong Kong
Beer is sold in Germany
A Fish wrap with Wasabi
A Chicken Big Mac
And lastly we get rice burgers from the Middle East
You get the shit, the horrible and down right fucken stupid movies, the intro is not even finished and you are already thinking to yourself “please let me die now and spare the torture that I am about to endure”.
Here is a list of my personal worst movies ever made, there is some of you that will think I am crazy and stubborn for selecting the list but fuck it, I don’t care.
10.Anaconda 3
What a shitty attempt to make a sequel to one of the funniest movies ever, The Hoff plays in it so you automatically think Baywatch as soon as you see his trademark hairdo. The CGI is utterly kak with no story line what so ever, truly a crap cinematic experience!
9.Avatar
Yes I don’t like the movie at all, it was way to long to watch and big blue people is not my thing. The animation was very good and I need to give credit where it is due, but it just didn’t keep me interested past the hour mark anymore, so sorry Avatar.
8.Jonah Hex
Extremely thin storyline with one of the worst acting ever by Megan Fox, she is one hot model but a weak actress, this movie portrayed it perfectly. The whole thing honestly didn’t make any sense at all.
7.Meet the Spartans
Wow, beyond shit and made the spoofing so boring that it actually hurt to watch the movie. It is beyond me that this script( or lack thereof ) saw daylight. Made hardcore Spartans look like homophobic idiots.
6.Spice World
The once so popular Spice Girls to many teens made a movie in which they showed to world how dumb and obnoxious they are, you get the point.
5.Little Fockers
Watched it recently and didn’t even finish watching it, how can such a awesome cast like the great Robert de Niro, Ben Stiller , Dustin Hoffman and Owen Wilson fuck it up so badly, I blame the crap franchise that is Meet the Parents on this one.
4.All the “movie” movies
Since Scary Movie 2 this absolute rubbish has been popping up like little black kids in the Brangelina house, it has been a shit fest ever since. Horrible acting and dumb jokes falling flat is what comes to mind when I see Epic , Disaster and Date Movie.
Special Mention.Vampires Suck
Rubbish rubbish rubbish , that is what it is. A piece of crap is more valuable than this lame attempt at a movie.How could a person enjoy this, I know it makes fun of the overly hyped Twilight series but damn , they could have done so much better.
3.Spiderman Series
What was once the coolest of the cool is now turned to a nerdy looking guy that cries a lot, the directors made Spiderman cry…..who does that! He is a superhero, they should not prance around with tissues on them and fight crime! Shame on you guys!
2.Sex and the City
I have never watched it in my whole life and I doubt I will ever, it is the story of ( I think ) 4 fugly middle aged woman looking for sex , has a shit load of money and clothes….Why on earth would you make a movie of that is beyond me?
1.Insert your own movie here
Yes readers, this is for your own to decide because no one’s taste is the same and preferences differ from one another, but if I had to choose a movie it would be none other than the Twilight series. I don’t like the actors , the storyline and the degrading of awesome mythical creatures such as vampires and werewolves to such a extent that you could of easily mistaken it for a High School Musical episode.
