Over the past couple of months I've been reading different blogs and it has now become a daily ritual to first go to my cuzzie's blog, namely Aasia, and then click on on every other blog and start reading. I've now resorted to try and follow this phenomenon by creating my own so that I am not disappointed when seeing that nobody has posted anything for a couple of hours.
So who am I?
I am a middle aged man/guy/nut who outwardly seems not to fear anything but has an internal battle with fear itself.
I have a mind of a teenager and a body of a 50 yr old which proves difficult when trying to do cartwheels with my daughter or go down these super slides kids go on.
Was in Durban recently and my daughter wanted to go on that lift thingie at the fun park, being the outwardly fearless guy that I am I agreed, once on this thing, my 5 yr old daughter could see the terror in my face and she calmly took my hand and said, Dad, nothing will happen, doesn't it look beautiful out there? I had to to fake a smile at that point. My heart melted, yet the fear still gripped, with one sweaty palm I held onto the handle bar and with the other I held my daughter.
The following evening I found myself at the fun park again, this time Aasia wanted to go on that ship thingie, and being this outwardly courageous guy, I obliged. I put on a brave face, but believe me the tummy was turning and the heart was racing double time.
I guess it is in our nature to put on a brave face seeing that we of the male species and need to be the power figure within the household/community however some of us are just human after all and fear some of the smallest things :)
Well that is all for now, more of getting to know me later.
