But why is it that all the good looking stuff is always bad for you? Why couldn’t vegetables be bad for you?

Okay so ofcourse one has to maintain a balanced diet, but ofcourse there is always room for good dessert! Chocolates, pastry dishes, ice-cream, sweets and such may all give you a whole lot of plaque (which is unfair) but hey, its not a sin to indulge once in a while.

Then ofcourse you get the foods you hate but have to swallow because you don’t have a choice. For example, spinach, cauliflower, celery and all those not-so-good-looking stuff.

So there you are in a time in your life when you’ve decided that the relationship you’re in just isn’t cutting it anymore and you want out, but the only problem is that you’re so chicken to break up with your not-so dearly beloved that you’d rather opt for non-face-to-face communication. Well, I guess this is nothing new because most of us have passed by douche bag boyfriend/girlfriend land where we learned over the phone that the relationship was over.

Aaaah… I remember that day clearly when I learned through a phone-call, which I had made just by the way because I was checking up on brother-man since I hadn’t heard from him all week, that the relationship has reached its end and we should go our separate ways because he feels that ‘I deserve better and someone out there could make me happy; he’s just not the one to do that’. Anyhu, in this day and age filled with many communication avenues, there’s no need to go the phone-call route when opting for the I-am-chicken break up method, mainly because it’s expense to call and you’ll have to go through the torture of hearing your ex-partner weep over the phone. So here are a couple of alternatives.

If you still want to keep it old school, send them a sms detailing to your soon-to-be-ex how awesome you think they are and the reasons why you feel like the relationship has reached its end. And to make it more irritating, use sms language that only you understand. Since we live in the era of emoticons, make use of the crying, sad and surprised emoticons, not that you need them, but merely for emphasis and sms decorating purposes.

Or even better, post your break-up message on their Facebook wall. That’s a sure to irritate the living daylights out of anyone. A girlfriend of mine once cried buck loads of tears when she learned that her man no longer wanted to be with her. So the guy (who, by the way, moved to another city because of a job offer) decided to post a message on my girl’s wall, stating that he’s breaking up with her because he’s fallen in love with another woman, who happened to be her best friend of ten years (she also happened to move to the same city for ‘work purposes’). But just a word of advice with this kind of break-up: at least be nice enough to inbox your partner the reasons for the break-up. It’s more tactful. In that way, she won’t be flooded with messages that are similar to condolences, wishing her a speedy recovery for her pain while cursing you at the same time.

But if you really want to grate someone’s teeth, tweet your break-up message. Everybody knows that at times, Twitter streets can be very cold with people tearing each other apart. And trust me, this break-up method is quite cold because you only have 14o characters, so you can’t beat around the bush trying to be nice; your message has to be precise. If you really want to be nice, send thousands of DM’s to your soon-to-be ex while keeping to the micro-blogging format. Don’t forget to include the hash tag #itsover so that you and your former beloved can trend, which will be awesome for your reputation as a chicken.

So there you have it folks- new age break-up methods for chickens; undoubtedly the worst people to fall in love with because you really get the big picture of their chicken-ness when the break-up comes along. But do not despair because the heartbreak, and worse still the embarrassment, will fade away with time, and you’ll get to the point where you’ll slap yourself in the face before forgiving yourself if you were the chicken, and if you were the recipient of the chicken break-up, you’ll simply shake your head at the ridiculous-ness of it all.

Cartoons, also known as popeyes ( in South Africa) to some, are fun, cool animated stories we grew up with as kids. Cartoons are awesome! Most importantly, they always teach us a lesson.

Favourites are Spongebob Squarepants, The Flintstones, Tom & Jerry, Recess, Goof Troop, Mickey Mouse, The Simpsons, DragonBallZ, Captain Planet, Courage the Cowardly Dog and plenty more.

For example, from all those years of watching Recess, I have learnt that there will always be various types of people in life, everyone tries to find that certain group of people they blend well with.

Overall, catoons will always play a major role in the journey of growing up, that is why animated films are still produced ’till this day.

Shout out to all the nice guys who always think that they are getting screwed over by girls who always fall for society’s description of the ‘bad boy’. It turns out that the female mind isn’t the only factor to blame. According to a new study it has been revealed that women choose bad boys because their hormones make them do it. Evidently, in a totally non-counterintuitive move, an ovulating woman’s hormones influence her to pick sexier men over more obviously dependable men.

The researches had the multiple women take a look at the dating profiles of either sexy men or reliable men during periods of high and low fertility. It was revealed that women closer to ovulation guessed that the sexier dude would contribute more to parenting and domestic duties. In a second study where the women interacted directly with male actors playing the roles of sexy cad and reliable dad, they once again thought the sexy guy would contribute more to childcare, but…only as her partner. Interestingly, the women would point out the bad boy’s shortcomings when asked how he would father children with other women, but when it came to imagining their own child, women believed the cad would be a really great father.

As study researcher Kristina Durante said, “Under the hormonal influence of ovulation, women delude themselves into thinking that the sexy bad boys will become devoted partners and better dads.” As our own Meredith Turits said, “I love when we can blame things on hormones.” Hormones. Preventing you from going out with that nice boy since you started ovulating. Shout out to hormones!

So once again women and their stupid hormones ruin the lives of so many. Okay, that may have been a little dramatic. I always say that it’s those hormones that turn us nice guys into mean-spirited men. I guess you just need to find out when she’s overindulging in some ovulation and stay the hell away. But we know this because it’s the same as when we are caught up in that special “time of the month”. On the other hand this just provides the female psyche with one more reason to make irrational decisions: “It’s not my fault! It’s my hormones!” It is also another reason to be thankful that I am a dude. Girls have it rough!

Go forth and ovulate!

It differs, some men look good with a fresh, hooked-up beard, while on the other hand, some don’t look so good.

Take Rick Ross for example, he’s beard basically serves as his ‘signature look’ and without it (because that’s how we know him), he would honestly look weird.

So from a lady’s point of view, what do you prefer? A clean shave versus a cool beard?

With girls, I don’t think we really mind a beard, as long as it suites you, doesn’t get out of hand and is maintained well…it does  after all, make a guy look more manly and mature.

So Rebecca Black’s ‘Friday’ went viral for all the wrong reasons! She is anything but a musician. Forget her because there is a real musician whose video is going viral.

Noah has arrived to claim his fame. Early last year LMFAO released ‘Sexy And I Know It’, another one for the dance floors. I found it annoying! Along comes Noah and this is how to do a cover!

For someone who appreciates the Blues genre you will know the skill it requires. Not anyone can be a ‘Blueser’.

Noah drops new videos every week of tracks that he covers. It’s phenomenal and is an indication of the immense talent that exists in the world.

Since it’s release on 9th May the video has accumulated over three million YouTube views.
