I haven’t blogged in ages, I just haven’t really had much to say. This has been a pretty interesting year for me so I loaded up the photos I’ve taken and tried to remember all the things that have happened / I’ve done etc… I know I’ve forgotten a lot but here goes anyways…

Stream the thoughts!

Partying much less, studying much more, getting a girlfriend, listening to a lot of bad music that I downloaded off of blogs, selling my car, shaving my moustache, breaking my speakers, watching LOTS of movies, Magaliesberg Canopy Tours, tennis, mountain biking, Infected Mushroom, picnics, dirtyoldDisco, radio deconstruction, threadless, blah blah blah!

Read the full story after the jump!

Caryn and I

So first off… Meet the girlfriend: Caryn. I’ve known Caryn for some time now but we only got to know each other properly around my birthday this year and I’ve never looked back!

Infected Mushroom

Then swiftly moving through everything else… I watched Infected Mushroom (the Israeli trance band) live. Now I’m not a fan of trance but wow, what a show they put on! I would definitely go and watch them again any day! I also shaved my moustache, extreme, i know. Word.

Check that roof rack yo!

My old car finally gave up the ghost so I cut my losses and now drive an Opel Monza… and it has a roof rack! Lame.

Magaliesberg Canopy Tours Certificate!

Caryn and I managed to organise a little holiday away to the Magaliesberg. We did a mad rad extreme canopy tour (there is no canopy? I still don’t get the name)! What fun it was though, I really recommend it to anyone! Check it! I started to play tennis every now and again… I’m not too good at it though but its great! Themba and Neil have also managed to get me out of bed at 4:30am on Saturday mornings to go mountain biking on the Groenkloof Nature Reserve trail… pretty eXtreme!

The dirtyoldDisco

My “partner in grime” as Greg “Destrukto” Tucker puts it, Themba, and I started a music project that moves so slowly but it’s awesome! Entitled “dirtyoldDisco” you should be able to hear it in the not so near future, eventually. It’s one part dirtyoldman (Themba T-Bone) and one part yours truly, Rick Disco… it’s a fantastic combo off hard hitting, banging electro! Grab a preview mix off of my favourite website electrotrash.co.za (giggle) here! The dirtyoldDisco is also doing some exciting things with team Deconstruction… they rock so keep an eye on www.deconstruction.be!

Picnics are Awesome!

For some reason 2008 was a year with more picnics than I’m normally accustomed to… OK it was probably only like four or so times but still, picnics really stood out this year. Sometimes we kicked the soccer/foot ball around and once I even wore a shirt and hid in the background of other people’s photos!

Hiding in the back…

Then there was a lot of random partying, Aandklas one too many times, a few trips to Jo’burg, lot’s of bands at Tings and a lot of good times!

So the end of the year has arrived and to conclude it, I will be making my way down to Cape Town after Christmas to bring in the new year down there.. OH YEAH!

So all in all, it’s been a fairly rickstreme year.
Love you all!
^5!
