So, like recently I was on holiday and it was the business. No, I didn’t do business, it was just… you know what, never mind. I went to wonderful tropical island of Ibiza where me and my brothers played board games and ate ice cream on the promenade.
Alas, blogging on Twindie.net will shortly resume when the inspiration comes back. I have however momentarily stolen Twindie.net’s Internet Category and moved them over a new home. Social Smocial. Like to be more niche and like. We vote for #TeamPete just as an FYI.
At Social Smocial I write a lot more features on my favourite past time, the web and social media. But I assure you they are just as funny and perhaps a bit more insightful. Simon joins me there too. He said he will write humourous interviews with startups. Let’s hope he gets there. Anyhoo, for now I hope you find Social Smocial just as welcoming, like c’mon how awesome is it to find sites that you can leech off other people? Pretty spiffin’.

Read this in a very heavy American accent: You might remember me from such blog posts such as Die Antwoord Gig or Don’t Touch Me on My Studio Remix. My name is Niel and recently I’ve been in the newspaper and on a really popular site. So, am I a famous blogger now? Do I have mad influence?
I reckon I need to go a little bit more RESPECT from other gangsta bloggers or go “ride” with them in the web-hood. I’m having an existentialist blogger fame crisis. Who am I? When am I famous? Will I be the next Mashable? Or even Hipsterrunoff? I probably need some endorsement deals first.
I reckon you only reach fame, when people get excited about your sex tape, or maybe post explicit pictures of you on PerezHilton.com.
When does one really become a “blogger”? If you post one post, are you a blogger? Or do you need to be like working “blogger”? Pay your server and other expenses like food and drinks, so I can be like 2Oceansvibe, probably South Africa’s only legit “blogger”. Time will tell. For now, I’m ending this blog post, ’cause I’m flying to LA to meet Zooey Deschanel for a coffee.

An odd thing happened the other day. I got contacted by an alien. Here’s the story: He/She/It emailed me asking if it could contribute posts at Twindie.net. I was like… what? The thing is, he wants practical experience blogging, because he is doing his thesis on human Internet culture. Why he chose my blog, I wouldn’t know… he didn’t explain why… I however welcome new bloggers joining Twindie.net. Simon, ain’t posting here anymore, so I guess why not let him post here. His name is Tebmud, but he has adopted a local Internet slang name, Teh Mud. He was serious as well.
I think having Teh Mud here will be a good way to expand Twindie.net, but also improve intergalactic relations. His posts will usually involve trying to analyse the Internet and Blogging culture. Bless him if he fails. He is From Space nonetheless. Say hello to Teh Mud. The time difference is a bit off, but he will post some blogs very soon.

Ah, sorry for the lack of posting. The reasons: exams, holiday, servers and leprechauns. I’m greeting you and this blog until next year, where I’ll try and be like some blog monster. Hopefully, Simon, will join in some more posting attempts at posting. Wishful thinking? Maybe, but it’s the time for wishes and all things good right?
But before I sign off, have you ever wondered how funny it would be if spices could talk? They would revolt and sue the earth and major supermarket chains for using their name in vain. Seasoning will become a thing of the past, or still on your eggs and bacon, but this time of year will have to change to either “Seasoning(™) Greetings” or something completely different like Christmas.
Peace out and other similar gangsta greetings.

There was an Old Person of Ewell,
Who chiefly subsisted on gruel;
But to make it more nice,
He inserted some mice,
Which refreshed that Old Person of Ewell.

There was an Old Man of Kilkenny,
Who never had more than a penny;
He spent all that money,
In onions and honey,
That wayward Old Man of Kilkenny.

There was an Old Man in a tree,
Who was horribly bored by a Bee;
When they said, "Does it buzz?"
He replied, "Yes, it does!
"It's a regular brute of a Bee!"

There was an Old Man of Melrose,
Who walked on the tips of his toes;
But they said, "It ain't pleasant,
To see you at present,
You stupid Old Man of Melrose."

Welcome to a new Twindie.net regular. I like people. The act of getting to know someone is so exhilarating. Thus, Twindie.net devised 8 questions to ask cool people. These questions will remain basically identical for each participant. First up is ExMi. She’s quite the Twitter aficionado and has two great blogs: Expensive Mistakes and Cheap Thrills and A Bad Mommy Blog. It might not always be my cup of tea, but some of her anecdotes are quips are fun! Oh, and her favourite band is Breaking Benjamin and she likes nerds.

There was an Old Man of Peru,
Who never knew what he should do;
So he tore off his hair,
And behaved like a bear,
That intrinsic Old Man of Peru.
