I wish I visited it more when I lived in Connecticut. It's an incredibly beautiful, vibrant place to get lost.<br />

JAMIE SCOTT shot 15 different locations around Central Park for 6 months and shot this timelapse video as the seasons changed. Enjoy.<br />

I hope you enjoy!<br />
<br />
GAME RESERVES have never been high on my travel list but after taking a trip to <a href="http://mabula.com/" target="_blank"><b>Mabula Game Lodge</b></a>, it features highly and repeatedly. My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to win a trip there, thanks to <b><a href="http://www.2oceansvibe.com/" target="_blank">2oceansvibe</a></b>, and it was a perfect location for our fourth year anniversary. <br />
<br />
WE FLEW from Durban to Johannesburg the Friday morning and then it was a 2 hour drive to the lodge. The room was incredible, it was double a standard room and had a huge bathtub and shower (which I love). We were just in time for lunch (every meal is buffet - hoorah! Let the eating begin!) which we enjoyed outside by the bar and second pool. Where was the first pool, you ask? Right around the corner, very big and kitted out with a waterfall and bar stools in the water where you can sit and order drinks. Upon seeing this, I declared that I would sit in that pool and order a cocktail (which I did on the Saturday and it was one of the best cocktails I have ever had).<br />

<br />
THAT AFTERNOON we got to enjoy one of two game drives (we passed on the other two so we could enjoy more of the lodge) where we got to see giraffe, hippos, zebra, elephants and so much more. My favourite was the morning (5am!!!) game drive where we drive through a big gate into the lion enclosure, which is over 250 hectares. There are 11 lions and we got to see 7 of them - not bad! And I'm obsessed with lions so to see them casually walking meters away from us was one of my travel highlights!<br />

I have a Pinterest <b><a href="http://pinterest.com/kathdv/mumford-me/" target="_blank">board</a></b> of them, I have their CD's on repeat in my car, and I'm pretty certain I will cry if I ever get to see them live (<i>that</i> much of a fan).<br />
<br />
SO WHEN I saw this video… I realized what happiness is. Happiness is Jason Bateman, Ed Helms, Jason Sudeikis and that guy from Saturday Night Live acting as the band in the <i>Hopeless Wanderer</i> music video. <br />

<i>“Suggestions? Put it aside for a few days, or longer, do other things,
try not to think about it. Then sit down and read it (printouts are best
I find, but that’s just me) as if you’ve never seen it before. Start at
the beginning. Scribble on the manuscript as you go if you see anything
you want to change. And often, when you get to the end you’ll be both
enthusiastic about it and know what the next few words are. And you do
it all one word at a time.” – Neil Gaiman</i></div>

<i> “The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting
started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small
manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.” — Mark Twain</i></div>

<i>“The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you
know what will happen next. If you do that every day … you will never be
stuck. Always stop while you are going good and don’t think about it or
worry about it until you start to write the next day. That way your
subconscious will work on it all the time. But if you think about it
consciously or worry about it you will kill it and your brain will be
tired before you start.” — Ernest Hemingway</i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">“Over the years, I’ve found one rule. It is the only one I give on those
occasions when I talk about writing. A simple rule. If you tell
yourself you are going to be at your desk tomorrow, you are by that
declaration asking your unconscious to prepare the material. You are, in
effect, contracting to pick up such valuables at a given time. Count on
me, you are saying to a few forces below: I will be there to write.” —

I APOLOGIZE for the "it's so cute I could DIE" smile that's plastered on your face now. They're unfortunately labeled as "vulnerable" as their cuteness looks awful tasty out in the wild but hopefully zoos and conservation groups can keep them around for generations to come. Now scroll back up to see that adorable smile again!<br />

<br />
LET ME elaborate… I had high hopes of owning my time this year. Of exercising and getting healthy. Of writing more. Of starting and completing a Google course. Of reading all the books I own. But 2013 had other plans. I got super busy and neglected things I shouldn't of (like ol' Katastrophe). <br />
<br />
IN THIS busy time, I have come across many an awesome thing on the webs that is the Internet. So I'm finally gonna take the time to share it. If you've seen it, sorry… Cry me a river. I think it's awesome and it needs to be written about.<br />
<br />
MY FIRST piece of joy is a double whammy! Please be educated now on how animals eat their food…<br />

COBAIN would have turned 45 year old in 2012. To celebrate this, <a href="http://www.flavorwire.com/" target="_blank">Flavorwire</a> published 29 photos of him looking happy - photos that are quite rare if you've seen some of his other pics. So here are a few of my favorite ones.<br />

I'm never a big fan of the New Year's Eve celebrations (never as great as the hype - except for NYE in Brazil!) but I do like the feeling of something new. It's a new, fresh year.<br />
<br />
YOU GET to evaluate and reflect on the previous year and get motivated for things you want to change or accomplish in the new year. I'm not one for New Year's Resolutions as they often don't last longer than the first two weeks of January but the resolutions below are definitely ones I could consider… Especially if there are cats involved.<br />

So without further delay...<br />

NOW DID those people jamming along not just make your day? I apologize for the few creeps in the videos though. It comes with the territory.<br />

What a year - we survived the end of the world! What a relief!<br />
<br />
WHAT OTHER awesome things happened this year? Well it was my first year as an official employee which is pretty cool at 23. I tried my luck at being a blond (considering it again as a future hair colour) and then had <b><a href="http://www.dekatastrophe.blogspot.com/2012/05/my-hair-is-blue.html" target="_blank">blue </a></b>hair which I loved. I won some pretty incredible competitions this year - one of which was the adult version of Reggies Rush but at <a href="http://www.dekatastrophe.blogspot.com/2012/03/its-race-im-winning-im-winning.html" target="_blank"><b>Exclusive Books</b></a>. Happiness for days!<b><span style="color: #999999;"> </span></b>Rascals<b> </b>are back on the market. I got to watch <a href="http://www.dekatastrophe.blogspot.com/2012/11/cape-town-will-capture-my-heart.html" target="_blank"><b>Linkin Park</b></a> live in Cape Town. I've blogged more. And I saw a<a href="http://www.dekatastrophe.blogspot.com/2012/11/panda-surprise.html" target="_blank"><b> red panda</b></a> get surprised.<br />
<br />
AND WHAT does next year bring? More responsibility at work which I'm amped for. Hopefully moving out of home into a place of my own. Big travels - a short weekend trip to <a href="http://mabula.com/" target="_blank"><b>Mabula Game Reserve</b></a> in Joburg and a 10 day Thailand trip (I'm already counting down the days)! Then there's also Red Hot Chilli Peppers live in Feb and I'm sure many more bands to follow in SA. So bring on the good times I say!<br />
