The House was Rocked!

Cito and his band wanted to get up close with fans, and offer an experience to be remembered, and that is what they delivered last night!

After I traded the Rock the Housewith WONDERboom experience with Rene and Nina for a Mobile Lifestyle Makeover, I was delighted to get an invitation to join in the celebrations.  It was a small, fun and crazy bunch of friends celebrating Nina’s birthday, and we got the full concert experience in a small room, just for us!  (lots of photos here)

Dancing around with everyone to some of my favourite WONDERboom tunes, it occurred to me that this is the first trade I've done where I took part in and enjoyed the actual item I traded on.

With each of the eleven (well, now twelve) “items” of my trades to date, I've had to remind myself that the item I have is not for my enjoyment. The only item I will get to experience to its full is going to be where I stop trading on. And that will be the office space.


So it was quite a grounding reality check to realize that those moments I got to share with Cito, Wayne, Martin, Jonathan, Nina, Rene and their friends, at that private rock concert that was born out of a single matchstick, was not just talk anymore (as it’s been for the last two years), but actually happening!

And if that came from that single matchstick that I started with 8 years ago, then the reality of an office to help start-up entrepreneurs is a very real possibility. And getting closer to becoming a reality.

And I have work to do.

So I thank and salute WONDERboom and Nina and Rene (and all the other people I have trade with to date!) for not only believing in the one matchstick possibility, but for also being a part of it and helping to make it happen. You all rock!

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!

Mischief Making aka Graffiti fun!

Maybe the person who I'll trade with next, is in Johannesburg over the next few days… and will just happen to need to drive into Braamfontein... and will be stopped at a red traffic light at the corner of Jan Smuts and Empire roads...

And will sigh, feeling bored with all the driving that we do in the world today, getting from one place to another to do one thing after the other… and this person will look to their side, and notice the Graffiti wall… and this person's eye will be caught by the multi-coloured, amateur attempt at some graffiti… and, reading this…

Our Psychedelic Masterpiece

...the person will wonder... And will be curious enough to get on their phone when they get to their destination... And head to this website... and now be reading these words...

So if that's you – then read this pdf doc or watch this little movie to understand what onematchstick is all about...

And then read about my latest offer, of the exclusive "Rock the House" experience with WONDERboom, or hear it from the bands mouth themselves...

And then give me a call so we can discuss what we can trade, for you to have WONDERboom perform a little rock concert in your very own garden for you and your friends, and what I’ll get to help me get to my goal of office space to help startup entrepreneurs!

So, call me! 0837302979!

PS- for over 20 years this has been the wall of free expression – until now, apparently you need to get permission. Noted for future mischief making! Thanks SuSteve for being my mischief maker extraordinaire!
