I’m looking for a Lover...

... who knows what he wants.

He goes out there and makes things happen, and knows a thing or two about what makes the people in his life happy.

He's been looking for a woman to share his life with, and who's life he wants to witness and be a part of.  He's moved passed the fear of commitment "stage", and knows that his freedom lies in his choices.

And he's ready to choose this woman he's found.  He does not only want to choose her now, but also every day for the rest of his life.

She compliments him, supports him when he needs it and yet challenges him too, just when he needs it.   She's loving, beautiful, and ready to choose him back.

And so it's time to ask her to be his- forever and ever.  And because this is such a significant moment in both their lives, he wants a special, unique and yet grand gesture to accompany the moment.

He also knows her – he knows her well and she loves music.  She enjoys music even more when it's live. And even more when it's a band she's a fan of. 

And he knows she's a fan of WONDERboom.

So what an opportunity it would be to have WONDERBoom rock his house, as he pops the Question.  To this song:


So this Lover and I need to chat.  Are you him? Do you have a friend who is him?

We can work out a trade so he can propose in front of WONDERboom playing at his house, in the "Rock the House" experience I have on offer.

Call me. +27837302979. Let's chat and find a way to trade!

PS- I'm still also looking for a Man having a mid-life crisis.

Burning one matchstick


I was chatting recently with Pepe Marais, who I traded with ages ago, and this conversation got me thinking:

Pepe's tweet

The outcome of my thinking:  Forget about candles. I’m going to burn this matchstick at both ends!

And by that I mean trade up and down. 

I've been trading up from a matchstick, so why not try trade down as well, from the other end, and see if I can meet in the middle?

With my end goal being an office, what if I could find the office now and then the person who will trade with me (for find the person and then the office), and find out what he or she would want for that space?

If I could do that, then I would go to the few people I know of, who want my Rock the House experience with WONDERboom but haven’t yet made me a formal offer, and see if they can offer me what the person who has the office wants.

And then voila! I could succeed!  It might take a few in between trading steps, but hey – burning the matchstick from both ends can only help... Can't it?

So via facebook, twitter and here on my blog I’ll be sharing over the next few weeks more about my dream onematchstick office.  And hoping it’ll help me find the last person I'll trade with, or spark a connection in your mind of someone you know who has premises to offer so you’ll make the introduction.

Cool – here goes...

Burning the matchstick at both ends

(Oh, and I’m going to continue looking for a Man having a mid-life crisis too!)

I’m looking for a Man...


...who’s having a mid-life crisis and loves rock concerts!

Yes. That’s the criteria. 

And because that’s the criteria, I’ve been reading up about the concept of  “mid-life crisis”. Now I’m convinced even more that some guy who is somewhere in the middle of his life and is having a little wobble from realizing that fact, and so is in transition and wanting to experience more of life, would be interested in my latest “life experience” up for trade.

Wikipedia says he’d be experiencing feelings of searching for “an undefined dream or goal” and have a “desire to achieve a feeling of youthfulness”.  He’d also be behaving in a way that acquires “unusual or expensive items such as motorbikes, boats, clothing, sports cars, jewelry, gadgets, tattoos, piercings, etc.”

So the “Rock the House” experience provides an awesome way to feel like a teenager again, one who’s attending their first rock concert. Only this is even better as you get to go “back stage” any time and hang with the rock stars!  Plus they will come to your after party, and bring the DJ!

What a goal it would be to find a way to trade with me for this opportunity. And, I’m hoping this Man’s always had a secret little dream of having his own rock concert!

Another indication that he’d be a possible candidate for me to trade with is the sign of a mid-life crisis which is that the person plays just to play.  Also he does mischievous things that appear out of character, surprising people who know him. 

WONDERboom "Rock the House" offer

So throwing a rock concert at his home for all his friends, and having such a party till the wee hours of the morning with WONDERboom (who know how to party!), would be such a fit.

So, are you this Man?  Or do you know him?

If so, get in touch with me and make me an offer for the “Rock the House” experience with WONDERboom!

Even if you don’t know what to offer me, but you want this experience to ease through your mid-life crisis – call me (+27837302979)! We’ll find a way to trade!
