Vernon Koekemoer and Ken Lee

or how to show the world that you do not care what they think and become a national hero in the process...
We South Africans have our own counterpoint to Chuck Norris and The Hoff... Vernon Koekemoer, the one and only!
Vernon or as he is know in real life, Cassie Booyse is quite modest about it all but enjoying the ride...


Then in Bulgaria we find Valentina Hasan and her rendition of "Without You" made famous by Mariah Carey which she called Ken Lee. Watch all 3 and read the Wiki...





Both these people showed the world what a sense of humour and positive view of themselves can do, they both laughed at ridicule and in doing so have become heroes in their lifetime. We should all learn how to approach life the way they do...
So... when life seems to be getting you down or if someone laughs at one of your mistakes...
"Sing it as you feel it" Valentina Hasan 2008

Goodbye to a great cat...

Today was the last flight of a legendary aircraft, the Cheetah. Currently being replaced with the JAS 39 Gripen, somehow I do not see a Griffon wearing spots...

"April 8, 2008: The South African Air Force has retired the last of its Cheetah jet fighters, with the last fourteen of them being withdrawn from service."
This is my small salute to the machines and the men that flew them, so to all that flew with Spotty... Hamba Gahle.
They truly lived up to the Air Force motto...
Per Aspera Ad Astra wich means: Through Adversity to the stars.
