These worms are a little creepy... they're about the length of your hand and have millions of little red little legs

Testing Testing 123…

I’m trying to get word to work with my blog here, so I’ve decided to post a picture of my hike to Malalotja – a Nature Reserve that houses vistas that are simply breathtaking..

Ever wondered where to find where the Windows XP background is from??

Finally, after 3 months, I'm publishing to my blog here... figured I'd just dive in and post an article from the Swaziland Times that I found most amusing..

'Save Yourselves For Marriage; Otherwise...'
Education Minister Constance Simelane has warned pupils to desist from practising premarital sex, saying such results in crooked penises. Simelane said such penises served no intrinsic purpose after marriage. The minister was addressing pupils, parents, and teachers of KaLanga, outside Siteki, before officially opening KaLanga High School yesterday. Simelane said she did not preach condom usage to pupils because there were no sizes to fit them. Instead, she said, pupils should abstain until they get married. 'Condoms were never meant to be used by pupils, which explains why there are no sizes made to fit them,' she added. 'If you (pupils) persist on indulging in premarital sex, there is a great risk that your penis will shrink and get crooked, ' she said. She said some of the people who had shrunk penises started practising sex prematurely, and were now paying for their actions. The minister said she learnt the theory from experts in human biology. On the same wave-length, Simelane said illicit sex resulted in female organs membranes sustaining injuries, resulting in paralysis of the genitals."

Hah hha. Ahhh, this definately takes the cake for the most entertaining article so far. Makes me wonder about these "experts in Human Biology" . . .

Swaziland Departure Countdown: 4 weeks

Welcome Sparky's first blog ever!

Today is August 15th - it is exactly one month before Sparky and I will have spent our first night in Swaziland, South Africa.

There I will be travelling abroad with Canadian Crossroads International - http://www.cciorg.ca/, to work with an AIDS organization called TASC - http://www.tasc.org.sz/. There I will be doing computer training from what I understand, as well as developping a database. I am stressed like crazy right now finishing up things at work and for my business on the side and moving out of town.. on top of that I have to prepare to leave Canada for 5 months or more!

Coming next week: 3 weeks remaining - Montreal Training
