Simon J Tatt

My birth date is in the year of the Tiger (water). I live in South Africa. I was born in England but relocated to SA with my family when i was 6. They wouldn`t let me row across in my own boat so i joined them on board the Pendennis Castle in March 1970. This blog is an expression of the interests i have in life. I am inspired by many events and situations, places and people.
I once tried writing seriously but realised after the first paragraph that this wouldn`t be happening. Since then, i have created characters like Bof Jan, who is a simple chap living in the Free State in South Africa in the 70`s/early 80`s. Other characters and situations pop into my head and appear on this web page. I write music as well and some of my songs will be posted here in the near future. I enjoy eating avocado pears, sausages, feta cheese, pita bread, garlic, sliced ham and rum `n raison ice cream. I believe that most world leaders are men and are psychopaths and that women should be given a chance now to get things straightened out. I wish all bullets and bombs would stop working from tomorrow morning at 7am (03/03/2010). People on Earth should put nature first from now on and not kill off plants and animals simply because they don`t care about the state of the planet...we`ve only got one to live on. My favourite quote is from Hunter S Thompson and it goes like this ..."Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming `Wow! What a ride!`"
