An Ode To The Lost:
Wherefore art thou Mr Adams?
Thy desk has been cleared of all detritus
and is now bereft of all papers
You have been abducted to lands anew
Where you are surely relaxing
In fields under skies so blue
Will you ever return to us to spend a day
in a office so clean as new
that this might very well be The End?
Nie0 will cry tears of joy
to see you once again
as you are on the mend
Mobil will smile that day
due to the fact that
all the server problems will go your way
Return to us Mr Adams from whence thou went
So that once again
we can return to the desk of old…
What a week it has been! Action, excitement and all round lunacy have been the order of the day. Business has been booming in the accounting sector with files flying left, right & centre with nary a moment to consida them. Amongst all this hustle and bustle I thought that now might be the opportune moment to explain the office hierarchy to all my readers out there.
On the top of the pile we have Merda the Magnificient (not related to Ming the Merciless) who through sheer guts and determination, as well as an encyclopedic knowledge of tax legislation, has managed to create from the ground up her own company. As a result of this hard effort she has has to forsake her beloved hotdogs to fund the most necessary of expenses, and executive saloon car, which is pictured below. Experts have calculated that the running costs of her car are astronomical with short trips expending fuel equivalent to R 20 and a Wimpy meal. Being an avid fan of Jeremy Clarkson she has obviously gone for a fast and sleek behemoth of a car to match her go-getter-take-no-prisoners personality:
Next up we have the Flash. Known for her extraordinary speed at preparing for meetings and her ability to quickly come up with solutions to all manner of Mobil problems, she has gained the respect and admiration of the millions of members of the Nie0 cult. Dwarfing the population of smaller nations such as Botswana her cult has been influential in the elevation of politicians and world leaders and has even absorbed The Illuminati and Freemasons in their relentless pursuit of world domination. As leader of this fanatical cult Nie0 has sworn never to leave her office till her sacred duty to prepare for meetings has been completed. As such her underlings, Melman & Alex, have sworn to protect her abode (“flat”) till such time as she returns. To suit her busy and hectic lifestyle where Italian speed is of the essence she has the following merkava:
Next up is everyones‘ favourite super hero, Mobil. As one of the members of the Nie0 cult he cannot usurp her power and as such has merely chosen a humble means of transportation to convey himself to work in order to help Nie0 achieve world domination. The only identifying mark to indicate his allegiance to the Cult of Nie0 is the green color of his car:
Lastly we come to your ever faithful blog writer, Terrell. Unlike the Towering Titans of Tax pictured above he can only afford the most basic means of transportation. In a similar vein to clown cars that can contain seemingly hundreds of clowns, Terrell’s car can disgorge more passengers than its mere size would seem to indicate. Prepare to be amazed and dazzled, but beware of the tremendous power of THE MINI!!! [As seen in theatres!]

Well so far I hope you’ve enjoyed my previous posts. They’ve been a whirlwind ride of thrills and spills I trust. I thought that this post might be in a bit more of a straight vein than the previous ones. Don’t worry I won’t get too philosophical on you, my loyal readers!! 
fan. What’s aLet’s speak about cartoons. As you have no doubt seen in my profile, I am a passionate animé you may ask? Well simply put, animé is Japanese animation. Think of it as the Japanese version of Disney, only embrracing a wider scope of shows aimed at people of all ages. The animé market in Japan is huge and caters for all walks of life. The first impression someone has to the above is, “But its childrens cartoons!”. Be sure that animé is far from kiddies cartoons. While we in the West are used to kiddie fodder such as Pokemon and Dragonball there are thousands of other more ‘adult’ animé shows available. As an example: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Neon Genesis Evangelion (EVA) is one of the most reknowned and debated shows amongst animé fans (otaku – meaning geek in Japanese). It deals with a boy, Shinji Ikari, who has to pilation an EVA, a giant robot used to defend the earth against invading ‘Angels’. So far, so good I hear you say. What makes the show intriguing is that from this basic premise it evolves into a diatribe on humanity and Shinji’s relationship with his father and that has contributed to his unique personality. Spiritual and religious connotations can be drawn into the show and eventually the show ends with humanity’s downfall and rebirth. While this may sound boring to you rest assured that the show is beautifully paced with action and humour spliced throughout.
At the moment animé is still a niche interest with only groups of dedicated fans spread in the west. Most people dismiss anime out of hand with nary a glance at it. One fact that might interest them is that anime has had a huge influence on many western films. The Matrix was heavily influenced by Ghost in The Shell and many musicians have used anime in their music videos with Linkin Park being but one example.
My advice to you: Go out there and watch a few anime shows. Try and find one that suits your interests and give it a chance. The beauty and intelligence behind animé will surely let you appreciate the art of animation from scratch again. Feel free to send me comments and I’ll gladly help you choose a show to get you started!
