Trevor Noah ~ It's my culture!


I am so excited that last night I was able to attend the Trevor Noah show.

You see, it is highly unlikely that you haven't heard of Trevor if you're in the States and I know if you're in South Africa you know him - WELL!

For those that don't know Trevor, he is probably the most popular comedian in South Africa and one the funniest people I know.

Here is a clip of him on the David Letterman Show



The show was hilarious, like, laugh until your cheeks ache funny. I am convicned once again that my mother was the loudest laugher in the room and not because she is the loudest person but because she enjoys Trevor more than anyone else.

This show was different to the Daywalker, Crazy Normal and That's Racist! I found that this show had a lot more sexual connatation jokes. Now don't get me wrong I am in no way offended by them I just found it interesting how his jokes are changing. Then again it occured to me that Trevor is (almost) 30 (like my brother - they were buddies in Primary School) so his dynamic will change.

My favourite part of the show is where Trevor spoke about Julius Malema. Now I won't give you any details because I hope you et to watch his show but I found that at times during his Juju jokes I almost couldn't breathe through the laughter...

Here's a little skit of him, hope you enjoy it ....



Now tell me, have you been to the show? Did you like it? Which comedians do you like and WHY?

You Gotta Love Some SUITS GIFs

 
 
Suits is funny, smart, witty and full of some wonderful eye candy! Mike Ross is sweet but naughty and Harvey is well... Harvey!
 
Would you be able to resist this face?
 
 
The complex dynamic of Harvey and Mike.

How long did we wait for this scene???

 
And Louis Litt, the wannabe Harvey.

Music Monday : I'm Yours

Initially I was planning this post to be about the music festival I went to on Saturday evening but when I started on Youtube this song kept coming up and you know how I believe in signs so I figured why not highlight the many different version of Jason Mraz's song "I'm Yours"

 
 
Here is Lloyd Cele's version of it. For my non-South African readers, Lloyd was runner up in our Idols Competition.
 
 
This lady, Alyssa Bernal ... her voice is really nice. I had not heard of her before today but she's got a nice tone to her voice...
 
 
One of the Directioners, Niall Horan before One Direction
 
 
And another Directioner, Mr Liam Payne
 
 
 
Which is your favourite version? Do you even like this song?

Have a great week all!!!

Travelling Music

I mentioned in my first travel post that I was going to include songs from parts of my trip but along the way I either forgot (sorry!) or couldn't think of one at the time.

So here are a list of songs which will remind me of moments in my trip

I heard this song in every single country and city I visited!
 
This is from O'Neill's on my last night in Dublin
 
While this is a sad song, hearing it in an Irish pub where the entire crowd is singing along gave it a whole new level of meaning. If I can figure out how to upload the video I will!
 
 
 
I didn't know this song before my night in Dublin and to be honest, the fact that I couldn;t sing along really bugged me! When I came back it was the first song I downloaded
 
 
I'm always amazed at the way in which music makes me feel and how it can evoke extraordinary feelings in a way that is unexplainable or how just hearing a song can link you to another person for life.
 
 
 
 
Do you agree with this quote???
