But today I found this
And realized it was basically a DJ friendly version of a tune made by two obscure french producers

stnuc; this was funny and you know it.
In other random thoughts; I was lying awake in bed last night for about 3 hours stressing about whether I've started on completely the wrong tack for my book. I'm struggling to keep the theme tied together because the subjects are so broad... maybe it'd work better as a work of fiction with a central character or narrator or something that's essentially me...

Racist Christians
'This was on NEWS 24.
You gotta love SA…
In a new initiative to advance racial integration in South Africa, the ANC government has proposed a bill to Parliament which states that all Angus Buchan's “Mighty Men” conferences must be representative of the population of South Africa.
The proposal includes legislation that will force the sellers of these tickets to first sell 70% of all tickets to native Africans, before any tickets may be sold to whites / settlers.
Mrs Beauty Kumalo, Chairperson of Africans for Jesus, has commended the initiative by the ANC government.
"Too long real South Africans (blacks) have been excluded from having the same privileges as the whites in serving our Lord Jesus Christ from Nazareth (now relocated to heaven).
Apartheid has given the white man better churches, Bibles and theologians which gives them an unfair advantage of reaching heaven.
We require equal rights for all Christians. We are tired of the racist white man trying to keep us out of heaven."

Presumably because he didn't like the way the neighbourhood was heading.
