Pale Blue Dot - Chapter 1: Wanderers
Chapter 2 was released on May 1st, 2018:
Originally uploaded to Google Video in July of 2007 (with very nearly 50,000 views to its credit there), Wanderers finally makes its official, full-length (40 minutes), full-resolution, unmodified debut on YouTube.

Some time before he died in 1996, Carl Sagan recorded a partial audio version of his 1994 book Pale Blue Dot.
This video represents an chapter one of sorts, the beginning of an unauthorized video series based on Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot audio book, combined with a soundtrack and appropriate images intended to recall the feel of classic BBC/PBS documentary series, such as Ascent of Man and Cosmos.

Sincere thanks to all for their messages of support and encouragement!

i almost died today. Twice
The past few days in N'Djamena, Chad have been the worst days of my entire life and I've had a miserable time here. Never in my life have I been more scared, threatened or attacked (both verbally and physically) than in this hot, dusty, beaten-down deserted city. I was in a disastrous police chase on a motorbike and I also was attacked by a dozen people for taking 1 photo inside a mini bus. I apologize for the lack of posting lately - I've had no access to wifi until now and I'm still shaken up by what has happened to me.
If it wasn't for my 6'6'' local friend (AKA Bodyguard), then I'm not sure I'd be alive right now. This is not a joke, this is serious.
The lesson learned has been learned on my end to always ask before taking a photo of anyone, but it was uncalled for these people to attack me like they did. I will end this post by saying that I do not hate Chad (as a whole) and I realize that unlucky situations can make or break your experience in any country. But it's safe to say that I will not be coming back to Chad anytime soon.

Scratch Patch Cape Town @ Gaia Crystals in Langebaan
Scratch Patch Cape Town at Gaia Crystals in Langebaan
Scratch Patch Cape Town at Gaia Crystals in Langebaan - This past Saturday we went to Gaia Crystals and I spent some time scratching in the patch and I found some awesome little gems/crystals.
You always find the most interesting little crystals in a scratch patch.
I was able to grab some Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Citrine, Lemony Quartz, Jade, Agate, Bloodstone, Sodalite, some other green stones.
It was like winning the lotto in crystals.
I also picked up some small blue Kyanite blades for myself as well as a crazy, energetic Lodestone/Magnetite!
You can visit Gaia Crystals in Langebaan, Western Cape, 7357.

Pretoria Jacarandas in the Spring - an aerial view
During the months of October and November, Pretoria is transformed into a glowing purple mass - the Jacaranda trees are in bloom! Jacarandas line the streets and dot the parks and gardens throughout the city and carpet their floors with their bee-attracting blossoms.
It is estimated that there are between 40 000 and 70 000 Jacaranda trees in Pretoria - nicknamed the Jacaranda City - which choreograph their spectacular show over an eight week period in late spring each year. There are also almost 100 rare white Jacarandas that can be found in Herbert Baker Street in Groenkloof.

Real Reason Behind Gentrification in Cape Town and Land Expropriation South Africa - U.N. Agenda 21
Part of the Agenda 21 plan is to move people from rural areas to city centers. This is why developers like Blok are building micro apartments to accommodate people moving from the rural areas to the cities. It has nothing to do with affordability but everything to do with the monitoring and control of entire populations.

The First Prisoner on Robben Island
Autshumao (or Autshumato) was a Khoikhoi chief who lived in the Cape in the 1600s. He became an interpreter between the Khoikhoi and the Dutch. After a deal went bad Autshumao was banished to Robben Island where he became the first person to be imprisoned on Robben Island, and the first to escape one year later.
His niece, Krotoa, also has an interesting but sad story as she was taken into the Van Riebeeck household where she picked up a Western lifestyle before marrying a Danish surgeon called Peter Van Meerhof. From their marriage come a long line of descendants including Paul Kruger, Jan Smuts, and FW De Klerk.
