Why you should maybe join Twitter
I’m new to this Twitter thing. Just recently joined (HERE) and i’m having problems deciding who to follow.
I initially thought it was a great idea following CNN, but i’m having my doubts since more often than not they post things like :
“WWII-era plane crashes near Florida coast”.
Thanks for that, but we are looking for something a little more substantial hey.
Then someone sent me this.
That’s what Brooklyn Decker tweeted (http://twitpic.com/171hb5) two days ago from her shoot in St Barts for Glamour Magazine with Alessandra Ambrosio and Crystal Renn.
She just forgot to say @lifeissavage, but i’m ok with that. Next time chicken.
If you are on Twitter then be a pal and add me. Just click on the icon below.
I won’t stalk you…. promise.

The Cape Town Carnival 2010..
Did you know Cape Town is gonna have its own Carnival, like the one in Rio?
Neither did I. Must be out the loop because this is the first time i’m hearing about this and its starting on the 18th March.
The Cape Town Carnival “aims at bringing together the diverse communities of the city through the universal language of music, dance, cultural and creative expression.”
It begins on the Thursday the 18th March with a fashion show featuring “celebrity models” (no idea who they are yet, but it will be interesting to see who they come up with) in a glass marque on the roof of the Aston Martin shop in the V&A Waterfront.
On Saturday the 20th March more than 2000 costumed performers will head down Long Street for the Carnival Parade. The festivities start of at 6pm with a concert at Greenmarket Square.
They reckon is gonna be the Cape Town version of the Rio Carnival so they better not be playing coz this is what i’m expecting then:
Now that looks like some good times.

Cape Town’s not-so-friendly welcome to Lance Armstrong
Lance Armstrong just arrived in Cape Town about an hour ago and it didn’t take long for our immigration officials to piss him off a little.
Here’s what he said on Twitter.
Maybe i’m reading this wrong or his sarcasm is a little grey, but did he not first say his passport is full and there’s no room to stamp it? Well then why the hell is he moaning about the immigration officer. If my passport is full , they are not letting me in either bud.
I know he’s a legend and what not, but come now. The same rules apply to everyone surely. What did he expect..rose petals on the floor.
They should have cavity searched him just to show him how friendly Cape Town really is.
I can just picture Chad screaming :”pick me ..pick me”.
Good times.

South Africa wins an Oscar (kind of).
Thats if you count the fact that Charlize Theron is making sexy times with Jeremy Renner, star of the Hurt Locker which picked up 6 Oscars at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards.
Charlize recently dumped long time ball and chain ,Stuart Townsend and it hasn’t taken long for rumours to surface that she’s dating Renner.
Hurt Locker walked away with the Oscar for Best Film and i’m not sure hey. Its a great movie, but its hard to compare it with Avatar. They are very different movies and for shear entertainment value and suspension of disbelief i’m gonna go with the giant blue smurfs i think.

Best Picture – Hurt Locker
Best Director – Kathryn Bigelow (Hurt Locker)
Best Actress in a Lead Role – Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side)
Best Actor in a Lead Role – Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart)

The Green Point Urban Park..[pics]
Saw this in the paper (Argus) the other day and i honestly had no idea they were constructing an urban park in the Green Point/Mouille Point area. I just thought it was part of the golf course next to the stadium, but apparently not.
Click that puppy for the bigger version.
The Urban Park or People’s Park (can’t figure out what to call it yet) is looking pretty sweet already with completion hopefully due in May.
The City of Cape Town is set to unveil a multi-million rand park in the next few months, with officials saying the facility would become a “great inner-city park”, similar to those in cities around the world. [iol.co.za]
Here’s some of the park’s features as far as i can gather:
- Its 12,5 ha in size
- It cost R54 million to create
- Open from sunrise to sunset
- Play areas for kids, including a special area for the disabled
- Fitness area with weather-resilient structures
- Common area to be used for concerts, markets etc
- Amphitheatre
- Its surrounded by a cycle track and pedestrian pathways
- Lots of trees/biodiversity garden and water features
- 4 entry points
Found an image on the skyscrapercity forum, submitted by Mo Rush that is pretty cool.
Its on the left there. You know what to do if you wanna see a the bigger picture. Pity about the massive tar parking area next to the Virgin gym hey.
Took some snaps on my way to gym this morning. Kind chap allowed me to walk all the way in to the common area. Check it.
Gonna be awesome when its done. Will keep you updated with pics as i recieve them.
Good times.

Gunmen raid $1 Million Poker tournament. Caught on LIVE tv.
6 armed robbers raided a live poker tournament and made off with the $1.1 million dollar prize pool.
And the drama was caught on live tv.
Play and commentary being filmed at feature table of the Berlin EPT 2010 was interrupted when the gunmen entered the play area.
None of the players had bullets at the time so they couldn’t return fire. (bwwwaaahhh..my bad its this heat in Cape Town)
“One report said the gang – armed with assault rifles and hand grenades – made off with the tournament jackpot of 800,000 euros ($1.1m; £726,000).
Several people were injured in the ensuing panic, although none of them seriously.
About 1,000 poker players are taking part in the five-day tournament.
“Several masked, armed individuals entered the Grand Hyatt Hotel and fled with a haul of money,” police spokeswoman Heidi Vogt said.” [BBC]
Reminds me of the time Basil and Ray were bust playing a poker tournament at Big Slick in Green Point. Except it was the police who did the raid.
Kak funny to see them in the back of the police van.
Good times.

“Ok Go”: best music video of the year. True story.
Ja well…here’s another video that’s gonna get like a million hits a day for a while.
Remember those dudes that made the music video, Here it Goes Again? Was a hit way back in 2006 when the band Ok Go choreograph the whole song on treadmills.
Well they did it again. I wouldn’t bother with the actual song , but the video is unbelievable.
Seriously..its sick. A chain reaction that is hard to believe.
Hey..pretty slick.
Good times.

Trololololololololololololol ….good times.
For some reason only the internets will know..this video has dominated the popularity charts the last couple of days, even featuring on late night talk shows in the USA.
I giggled the first time i watched it. Then pissed myself the second time….and for the life of me i can’t figure out why the f**k i’m laughing.
Here’s the trolololololololololol guy wishing you Friday good times and a magic weekend..and it only takes him 18 seconds to do so.
He just walked straight into the Life is Savage Hall of Fame and you WILL have that song in your head the whole day buddy.
Good times my friend….good times.
