# About me

30 years old, love all the light in life, despise all things dark that promote fear, hatred and discontent. I believe we each have our own minds and own path to follow in life but if we do not help a brother/sister when we see them heading toward danger, we are in fact polluting our own spirit. Jesus Christ saved me from a life of darkness and death and my only hope is that others might one day know how good it feels to live with no weight on your shoulders. I believe it is never good to judge a person, no matter what beliefs they might have or how lowly they are according to the worlds standards. But most important of all I believe in treating every person you meet as you yourself would like to be treated.

"Give Me Novacaine" is one of my favorite Green Day Tunes. When I used to surf a lot I used to dig listening to Rammstein just before paddling out on a day when the waves where huge. But now I have mellowed out a lot and have to work like a dog so I cannot chill out to good tunes nor surf much. But I still have a daily dose of Green Day. Every time I see someone trying to fake this whole Hollywood American Dream nonsense, then I jam, "Don't want to be an American idiot." I like Americans though, just not the shallow image boys. My granpa even served with them over the skies of Germany and North Africa during WW2. 


Thanks for the welcome, and awesome to meet another friend. I see the new Nexus 5 android device has got a fingerprint lockscreen open function. That is freakin cool, only issue is that if one is ever in a dodgy neighbourhood they would probably cut my finger off just to use my phone. Ha, ha, ha, all mellow, man that technology is awesome. And to think, most of the technological advancements come from war. Imagine if humanity actually aimed to make human existence a more peaceful experience? I reckon technology would then advance at an even faster pace. Heck, I say, lets change everything, lets not even work with money anymore, let us make the new currency, the betterment of humankind. 


Oh well, we can dream and one day I reckon it would come true. Thanks for the message's and have an awesome weekend legend.

Awesome man, Karate is flippen cool, I can still remember my 1st Yellow Belt Kata. Trained in Judo when I was younger. Man, I am so unfit now from working all day every day, just on the road, and then infront of pc sending accounts and trying to get paymnets.


Sometimes I reckon all the B.S of making money is not worth it, the more one makes, the more one has to try and make. Then, I get so unfit and I miss training man.


Boulevard of Broken dreams, freakin awesome. Yeh, that Karate move where you do a kick for the shins, then flip the leg up and instead go for the head, that is one of my favorite moves because the guy always blocks for a low kick, but then the knee swivels, the foot comes around and suddenly the shot is aimed for the head. Best trick in the book. Even in Muay Thai I used that trick, although it was a risky move because it left one open to a foot sweep. It also caused a little damage in my knee cartilage.  


Awesome, man, no worries, you have made me keen to go back to training. That sport was the most physically intense training, other than rowing I had ever done. Man, this life, sometimes it takes so much just to make it ahead of the pack. I often wonder what this mass of humanity is heading towards. There has to be a greater point to it all, a deeper meaning and a higher goal than just living and making cash to buy new stuff and eat well. 


Yeh, just zoning out on the net tonight, so sick of work and yeh, typing like a dog on red bull. Shweet man, have a mellow evening.

yeah  life hard but do you use 3 or 4 keyboards together  i would have fallen  asleep  wile typing this much ,man you will be  arrested  for making people  sleep  
(do not take  this seriously) and yeah kick always take  more  time than punches but in the your  timing  can change this line
and if you are using a kick boxing stance and your hands are near your ears  you can  easily  block high kicks , hooks but uppercut will hit you but hook is deadly punch but takes time and your enemy can predict you but there is a way to do a fast hook 
no need to take your  elbow  back wards  , but in Muay Thai stance your  knuckles face the opposite side LINK   but by this stance the elbow strike and the straight punch is easy  elbow strike is deadly and one hit  KO  move when when is close combat with your enemy and when he is hitting with his knees on your stomach you can try this but in a fight you can not premeditate any thing  if you think in a fight i will do this i will do that you are a bad martial artist you can never think and fight some times your body is out of  control  but the martial art that  fascinated  me the most was tycondo

chop007 In reply to thelegend2 [2013-11-03 17:48:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeh your totally correct. I always make that mistake before a challenge/bought, butt hen as soon as I get hit a couple of times I calm down and instinct takes over. Well, 2 years ago when I was at the peak of my training, but now, I simply quick punch the nose and then foot sweep and do ground work. I don't have the stamina or speed anymore to get into fights that last long anymore.


Also, the adrenaline I cannot control so much anymore. I reckon I am going to go back to marital arts, most probably Judo, so I can get my self control and stance correct in life. Yeh, I know that fast hook, I was KO'd by it a couple of times. That is one thing in kickboxing my Sifu always got a little hacked off with me about, the karate influences and Judo I had ingrained within me from childhood. Difficult to let go of instinctual behavior. 


The fact the knuckles face other way around really confused me in the beginning, but the whole praying manta stance was eventually accomplished with lots of zoning out to heavy skipping and dancing in the ring to Thai music. I still prefer the Karate switching puch, the rotation of the wrist and all the force transported to the point of contact. 


Suppose I am getting slightly old now, I reckon Tycondo would be the next best bet for me now, much more flowing from move to move and a sort of esoteric dance, very calming and highly dangerous if one mastered it. I got my little nephew into Krav Maga, he is only 6 years old and the other day he showed me amazing knife fighting techniques and fluidity of motion. He chopped me in the neck the little bugger and then got me into an arm hold. I was amazed. One day I hope he takes it further because he has a natural instinct. Just hope he doesn't become one of these cage fighters, what a waste of a beautiful martial arts and the Spirit of the pitched battle according to laws of honor. 


Anyways, I have packed my other 2 keyboards away so I cannot write a long message today. Ha, ha, ha. Anyways friend, awesome to chat, catch ya next weekend after the week of hell trying to get payments from my ever so forgetful clients. Awesome bro, your a legend.

chop007 In reply to Lasagnaface [2013-07-25 17:06:51 +0000 UTC]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha, good reply man, I needed a good laugh today. Actually I prefer more old school tunes, The Beatles, ACDC, Simon and Garfunkel, Dire Straits, Rolling Stones, Elvis, Hillsong, The Eagles etc etc etc. I am sure on some planet where all the teens are trying to be cool and freak their folks out, MM is cool, but, sorry, that is not music, not by a long shot. I think I saw my dog make something on the lawn that reminded me of MM one day, but other than that who cares? I must say however, in all fairness, His song, "Beautiful People" was a masterpiece. Aah what, I have since come to the conclusion that we are but humans struggling along the best we know how, some will eventually see what it is they do to others and that will help them change for the positive. Others might go through life causing untold destruction unto others and never even give a darn because they are profiting from it. I cannot change anyone else. The only thing you or I can do is be the change we want to see in others. Thanks bro, God Bless, and no, I don't care if you believe in God or not, I will pray for your blessing either way.

Do you remember comparing me to Hitler and Saddam Hussain? No. Just back to remind you what an insulting man you are. It is an insult to all the victims of such dictators to compare an ordinary subscriber to this site to them. I have no idea how your thinking got so twisted. You really need to check out what you think and what you say.

Dude, I insult no victims. The only time I would post such a comment was if your work was derogatory or seemed at face value to represent the antithesis of ethical and moral values. I see you do not have any of that work left on your profile, so, either you where chicken shit and knew you where in the wrong and then removed it, or, you simply have nothing better to do than bring up comments from ages ago. Whatever, it does not matter, your own conscience is what you need to answer to and I summarize from your comments that your own heart is turning you towards the light. If that is the case, well done and don't fight it, because at the end of the day, no matter how hard you struggle, Light always overcomes darkness. In this world, and the next. Get it, got it, good.

ok that is what you think.
I guess I was just trying to get you to understand something that i do, but its very hard to influence someones decision when their mind is made up so i guess neither of us will leave this thinking any differently. But how would you stop him? Protesters go to nearly every concert he has and that has never done anything to stop him. People will always listen to his music, probably for years and years after he dies and that is how he gets his point across. His music is not to cause pain and harm but Quite the opposite and you would have to stop his music if you wanted to stop him and i doubt that would happen. anyway most of Manson's fans don't imitate him or anything its just those few people who go too far and end up doing something stupid because they misinterpreted who and what he is. I also understand why so many people dislike him and that is their opinion i know and honestly i get it, but thats not going to change anything for me. thank you for the entertainment, and i compliment your writing skills but not this particular topic. i am sure we would see eye to eye on other things (maybe not many) but this is something we disagree on. and thanks for blessing me but i think that was a little over the top hahaha but no hard feelings. I hope you have a good day and i have really enjoyed this conversation, hahahaha hardly no one normally makes such an effort to talk to me

chop007 In reply to shadowgirl99 [2013-11-02 15:11:52 +0000 UTC]

Yeh ShadowGirl99 I totally get what your saying and it makes perfect sense, nobody can stop anybody else from doing what they want to do, not even the law. I am simply putting my voice out there and saying why I dislike his representational ethos/lack there of and what he advocates. 


As an artist and entertainer, yes, he has literally got no law stopping him from doing whatever he wants on stage. The issue I have is that he represents everything I despise in life. You see, I walked his path, did what he did, bowed down before his stage and it took me down a path of darkness. When we like someones music to such an extent that we try to emulate him, this has it's own consequences.


The idols in our world, the musicians, the artists, are literally worshiped by us. We place them on a pedestal and aspire to be more like them. If they represent truth, honor, light and respect and we try emulate that, then our actions in reality are of good and of honor. If there actions are of dark, perverted filth, then some may try emulate that, with it's own consequences.


I am sure he holds a kitten every now and then, but, and this is the most important part, "What we do in Life, ECHOES in Eternity." If we do good deeds and represent honor, that send ripples out in the ocean of time and positively effects others for generations to come. If we spew out sickness and dark filth, well, lets just say it causes pain to so many for so many years to come.


The only reason people enjoy his music is because it brings them attention in an otherwise lonely world. The only reason he goes to such extremes and can be so vulgar and siff, is because it boosts his little ego machine and brings him attention, not to mention huge amounts of cash. He does not care for whom he harms now, nor in the future and he does not give a hoot about anyone elses pain, he thrives on it. So, in short, I think he is the most twisted sick little freak ever, he is not even maggot, in fact, he is most probably one of the sickest little twisted dogs since Hitler and anyone who can actually watch his perverted shows and not feel a pain in their heart or a disgust, needs to seek immediate help. If I ever run into him I would be sure to send him back to where he belongs and make absolutely sure he NEVER effects anyone's life again . The consequences of his actions, he will one day have to experience. When he does, I do have pity for him and pray each day he will change his ways and try to make right what he has perverted. I have seen a glimpse of hell and let me tell you now, even though I despise Manson and all he does with a passion, I would never want anyone to go through that pit and live for eternity in that horrid smelling damp and worm infested place. 


Anyways, your a good gal at heart, don't let the world, nor the people in it dirty this life for you. Enjoy it, but step softly and with humility, do unto others as you would have done unto you. God Bless ya.

No worries friend, all mellow I understand. I cannot judge those who listen to his music nor can I stop him. I just hope this world will one day move towards more ethical concepts based on pure insight and wisdom and a form of peaceful, sustainable living where we care for one another as we do ourselves, regardless of our beliefs. Oh well, today I helped this poor kid standing in the freezing rain, shivering, nobody would even stop and give him so warm food or even 50 cents. Man, that made me so angry. We are all so privileged and sometimes we do not use our gifts for good nor the advancement of mankind. Yeh, well, poor little dood was so happy to get a warm bath and some decent food, he told me he had not smelled what new clothes smell like. Now, I got to try find him a safe and secure home and someone to care for him, but I will not let him go back to the streets, maybe he can help run my farm up the coast. Sherbit man, what a cruel world, and it does not have to be so.

Cool beans man, all good, I thank you for your compliments friend and am sure there might be some things we agree on, even if the lifestyles of musicians are not one of them. I actually think most people are generally good hearted and do not like seeing others suffer and want to see people prosper. Your a good soul friend and I admire you not backing down from your standpoint, that is commendable, I prefer it when folks don't sit on the fence so to speak and that they stand firm, on whatever standpoint they take, it shows character and substance of soul. Keep well friend, Bless You.

Dood, what a complete looser. Who do you think your fooling? I hope your not fooling yourself? You are not 'The Terminator', you are not some hero karate ice skating master. Seriously, get a grip dude. Now, your using random words from your bunghole dictionary? Seriously, 'intelligence quotient' it must have taken you ages between your karate lessons and 'watching ice skating everyday' to combine those two words. You probably spent a whole week just trying to get the spelling correct. I knew Detroit had a high rate of crime and pedophiles, but dumb ass wannabees who think because they select seemingly sophisticated words, they can actually portray themselves as intelligent, man, now that is pathetic?

No, dood, whatever, face it, you are not who you make yourself out to be. As I said, stop looking at your pecks in the mirror, move out of your moms house(she's tired of cleaning your bed sheets). Stop trying to build some false image of an ice skate watching, karate master, graphic artist endorsed by Sony, and simply, BE YOURSELF. You do not impress anyone by being false, your true colors always show through. I mean, 'Rectum Rental', what? Is that supposed to be some sort of kindergarten insult? Dood, are you like 12 or something, trying to act like a big hero, or, are you really such an inbred trailer park trash dumb ass?

Anyways, enjoy the rest of your meaningless, self obsessed "ice skate watching' existence. I am sure on Uranus there might be aliens who think you are Awesome. Cheers Johnny Bravo.

No, manson is not a vampire, he does not use artistic licence for improving humanity or advancing knowledge. He is a sick perverted freak who removed 2 of his ribs to suck his own knob. He stands for chaos, filth and fleshly perversion. He wants you to think it is all an innocent act because when you let down your defenses he can use and abuse you just like he does his own sick flesh. I am absolutely certain of 1 thing, if you worship this creep, if you base your life on what he is telling you, the end result will be a product of that. Now that you know a little more about this pervert little pig, you cannot say nobody told you, you have been told, you have been shown the facts of what he represents and stands for, the decisions and responsibilities for your life choices sit with you alone, nobody else. Be careful, I know from my own experience, some decisions, some actions, have consequences that are profound and can last a long, long time. Be wise with whom you make pacts, be weary with who you make bonds, sometimes what you put in is exactly what you will get out.

Yeh I know the feeling, I also cannot stand huge crowds, I prefer a long beach crystal clear blue water and no people in the water either, have the waves all to myself, he he he ehe. The problems come when I go into the informal settlements to teach the children and provide medical and nutritional aid, man, they crowd around you. But that is cool, they got a good vibe. I cannot however go into a mall, that just freaks me out, so many people, buying shit they don't need to impress people who don't like them anyway.And even though they are so wealthy and well fed, you never see a smiling face. It is almost like the pain of that honey trap, never ending circle of intake and excess, has etched lines of suffering on their weary faces.

Heck no, malls I cannot do. Out in the country, the small villages, yeh no problem, they are full of life. But no worries, compassion has nothing to do with being sensory defensive. I can tell you have COMPASSION, but for some reason you don't want anyone to know. My goodness, such a marvelous spirit and caring heart, one day I know you will see how rewarding it is to offer people comfort in a simple smile and your heart will be shown. Why try to hide it? All these folks that think they are so hard, I laugh at them because I know they are just fearful inside. So scared that anyone might actually see how kind their hearts are and then use that to attack them. So they play a part on a stage called life, I suppose in some way we all do. Anyways friend, nice chatting with you, I got to get ready for the dive tomorrow, my bro and I are going really deep this time, first time over 55 meters, the big one. And that water is freezing. I tell you, at 30 meters with Great Whites around you, anybody, even the most serious atheist would start praying. But once the fear passes, man it is so mellow. God Bless ya friend. Keep safe ek se.

nobody is happy in the overcrowded, noisy city...of course, it deppends of the place you're living in...

"All these folks that think they are so hard, I laugh at them because I know they are just fearful inside."

i laugh at them too, because i see that kind of behavior as a façade, because they are too fearful to shwe themselves as they really are.

i must tell you, i listen to Marilyn Manson because i really like hi,...his music, his philosophy, the way he is....but i never thought of doing what everybody else (including him) does...unlike my friend, i'm not interested in drugs, alcohol or ex whatsoever...this is me, this is who i am and i'm pretty fine with that...

god bless you too, and don't close your mind to the real world, and, most important, don't believe everything that is being told to you...

Awesome, no worries, I admire your honesty and your integrity. I will never close my eyes to this world as that is when the attacks cannot be seen. I have the unfortunate ability to see motives behind what is being said and done. I must admit I still listen to some of MM's music as he was a central part of my life while I was younger. I too enjoy some of his music and find it relaxing, strangely so. Although these days I also enjoy Green Day, Ramstein, ACDC, Beatles, The Eagles as well as many new local and some African Christian Bands. Unfortunately when I was younger I took his lyrics to heart and followed what I saw to be the true way against the establishment.

Oh well, guess I live and learn and suffer the consequences. But I must say, the pain I experienced from being so gullible, has made me much stronger. Guess we all walk our own path and it is not for anyone to judge their brothers and sisters across the world, regardless of their color, creed, religion etc etc. You have taught me an important lesson in understanding varying degrees of logic and paradigms of thought. I now know a lot more than before I met you. I have however committed to following a certain path and that has paid wonderfully the last 8 years. I could never go back to darkness, violence and all that other stuff I used to use to fill the empty hole in my heart. Thanks friend please keep in touch and if ya ever in Cape Town, pull in and come say howzit. God Bless ya.

we all have that 'rebel' phase when we are young...i had it when i was around 15, on a very painful time of my life...then i discovered manson, and he made me (and still today) a better person...it gave a new perspective of things...and through him i discovered plenty of other bands that i onjoy today...

what you say about not judging other people for who they are, you're absolutely right, it's not right to bother other people just because they don't look or live like you (that's why i despise war with all my heart and soul)

and...well, i listen to manson because i like him, but i never felt complelled to do whatever he was doing, whether it was drugs, alcohol or other stuff...i'm happy living like an ordinary person (only morons do whatever everyone else is doing, like the mindless sheep they are)


and, oh, i happen to live outside of africa (México, hell yeah )

Awesome, Mexico, man there is some beautiful country side. I want to get into Mayan Cultural Studies some day. I completed my degree a few years ago in Ancient Cultures but it was rather centered around the Middle East, Egyptian and Greco-Roman Cultures through various Anthropological techniques. I find the Mayan, Inca understanding of the cosmos and celestial agricultural techniques extremely advanced. They would have had to have such a deep understanding of their space within the cosmos to conceptualize celestial theories that where 2000 years ahead of their time.

Yeh for sure, war sucks. Imagine if all mankind could start working towards advancement of the species through Wisdom and science instead of spending a fortune on military weapons and tactics. That is one time I do not accept what religion is doing in the Middle East. I have many Muslim friends and they too are disgusted at how their Holy Book meant to signify Love and unity is being used to bring about hate and war. Suppose in all men there is a monster. Anyways, cool speaking with you, your one radical person, definitely not one of the sheep.

indeed is a very beautiful counrty, but...there's some ugly issues in some states (becuase of the drug trafficking and dirty government business...it's not a very nice thing...especially because of the violence of drug business...check it out: [link]

when that day arrives, war lords will be broke, then die...
and, it's true, religion isn't the problem, it's the meaing and use that people gives it...as long as they don't try to force me into following them, it's allright, i respect them....

but..you can't make everybody to adore your god, you have to respect them, whether you like it or not, same goes with money and lifestyles and other things....and war...i think that presidents should go to war, not innocent poeple...

it's always cool to talk to you, fellow, see ya

Yeh you are correct I cannot force anyone. I am happy that way really, the world would be boring if we where all the same. Just wish people could see the good in serving something greater than oneself, if that entity upholds virtues of peace, honor and freedom, and above all, Love. Yeh, cool beans, I am so stoked today, taking some children from the informal settlements diving, man it has taken ages to get through all the red tape and legislation but finally because of help from my Pastor and my brothers deep sea diving company, I can now combine development, Faith and love for the ocean in one swoop.

Cool sister I will take some pics, shame the kids are already super excited. Some of the poor buggers cannot even swim yet, so it will be slightly challenging but it's all in good fun. Catch ya on the flipside.

yeah, live and let other people live...

talking about religion, what do you think about the westboro baptist church?

i just think they are really screwed up, especially their minds (i mean, Jesus said we should love and respect our brothers and sisters, not bother them because of their lifestyles and/or picketing their memorial services, that's just wrong ¬¬)

chop007 In reply to maryvampiregirl [2013-05-26 12:28:40 +0000 UTC]

Yeh for sure, they make me really angry, their whole view is skewed. I cannot believe they picket at some honorable soldiers memorial. Yes, you are 100% correct about Jesus Message to Love. You see, it is folks like that, that are used to keep people away from God. They have so much anger there is no possibility that they have even a single ounce of The Holy Spirit. Yeh, I too get angry sometimes, especially when I see egotistical morons trying to spread hate and filth. I have however realized that no matter what man does in his own strength, he always seems to twist it to feed some ulterior motive of greed or control.

Yeh, I have studied some of their literature and can tell you now that so called 'Baptist' church has zero anointing on their lives. My uncle served in Afghanistan and in various other Middle East conflicts under the U.N and at a later stage U.S Marine Corps. If any of those folks came to one of his buddies memorials, they would leave in a lot of pain. He too is Christian and has seen a couple of hectic miracles in the field, so, these folk, preaching anger and picketing would not only get a decent sermon, they would receive wounds that would require a massive amount of Faith Healing. But I wouldn't worry about them, soon they are going to get that which they sow, back onto them 77*7. I just feel sorry for the poor kids in those families brought up with venom and wrath, rather than forgiveness and love.

Oh well, I too am guilty of anger, even yesterday some dood in the shop pushed an old lady out the way so he could get infront of the que, I completely lost it with him after trying to talk nicely to him, and then he swore at me. I nearly ended up in jail for breaking the doods jaw. Luckily the Commander at the cop station was an old friend and ahs worked with me in the informal settlements. Yeh, I am now seriously sorry for my anger because in the end it did nothing but hurt that dood and me, no lesson was learnt at all. Anyways, such is the human existence, all we can do sometimes is try our best and when that fails, heck, guess we are just human. I will however pray for my anger to be taken away and for those fools at that church to be shown love that they never knew existed amongst their hate filled propaganda.

exactly. apparently they don't understand the concept of love and respect. they just think that judging people because of the way they act, or are, will get them in heaven...thats just not going to happen >

some of us think their views on soldiers, gay people and others has nothing to do with religion, but with their twisted ideas...theey are pretty much attention whores, the worst kind of...

anger takes he best of us...i have done and said things while angry that i have regretted later...it's not nice...but, it's true, we are nothing but humans, with emotions taht are difficult to control...
