Cody
My Best Friend
It's a year since Cody left
the planet and even now it is so incredibly hard to write those words.
Those who knew him will remember him with a smile that he always, unwittingly,
brought to a person's face. Those who only started to know Cody after
the event have also come to love him as much as we all do. Cody
brought a touch of humanness, if that is the right word, into every
conversation and action with anyone he met. He made it "okay"
to be close to a friend. He made it "okay" to make mistakes.
In the last news page that Cody put together, he wrote about contacting
a friend and just letting them know that you thought of them, even for
an instant. It would be very cool if you did that now, in his memory.
Contact a bud and say "Hi, howzit going?"
I think my coolest memories
of him are when we shared quiet times together and shared surf stories
or he would tell me about some of his hiking stories. And we would
laugh. He would start giggling and before long we would be holding our
stomachs cos we were laughing so much. I remember when we hiked to
JBay like it was yesterday. We went up to watch the Billabong Pro
Classic. It was a total rave trip. The surfing, the laughter, the fun,
the knowing that I was in the company of someone who thought the world
of his friends and his folks.Cody loved JBay.
One evening we were surfing
a place called "Cemetry". It was one of those magical evenings
when the air was warm and the water felt great. No wind, just a really
nice swell, about 3 feet and glassy. The sky looked stormy and there was
lightning about. About 200 meters away there was a whale in the water
and its tail came out, like a gigantic fan and it looked like it was
right next to us. We stopped and I'll never forget the look on Cody's
face. It was like he was in another world, Cody's World. A world of
nature, sea and magic.
You would've read about the
rule in Cody's house. Whenever him or his mom or dad went out, they
would give the person staying behind, a huge hug because anything could
happen and you may not see them again. It's a good rule. Cody would've
hugged his folks before going to work that morning.
A lotta guys who have
signed the guestbook have asked "What happened?" Well,
Cody was killed in a car wreck when he hitched a ride home after
having a few drinks with the guys that he worked with.
I made the above 800x600 wallpaper
for you to use, even if just for a day.
Ride the peak my friend, always!

I'm bushed Cody.
Can't you read?
One of Cody's favourite net art works.
Cody loved being
in the water, whether he was surfing or swimming. The one day
when they were having an inter-house swimming gala at his school, I
thought I would surprise him and go there to support him. He looked
so damn hot in his speedos and he was like a fish when his body hit
the water.
Cody loved
special moments with his friends.
No homework after
school? Cool, let's practice our biology.

 To
say that Cody affected a few lives would be an understatement. He had an
enormous impact on anyone that he came into contact with. Around the world
there are mini shrines to my friend who taught the world to love, he taught
the world about tolerance, he taught the world about friendships without
boundaries. |
 Cody
wrote quite a bit while he was at school. It was the time that he
could get into the computer lab and do his own thing. He carried a
box of diskettes in his school bag with all his web information
and he would get to school before anyone else to work on his web
pages and write his e-mails. Then he still had time to swim laps
or train with Mark in the gym. He had a wicked sense of humour and
you had to have your wits about you not to be the target of his
jokes.
For those of
you who have not yet gone through some of the very first Cody News
pages that he put together, do yourself a favour and go there. On
some of the pages are links to the Cody Jacking pages where he has
a few good things to say, not to mention the in-depth instruction
on a certain cool subject.

For
those of you who are wondering what I might look like on my 60th birthday,
thought I'd give you a sneak peak.
Now that looks like a
pretty neat fit, and the Tommy Hilfiger's don't look that bad either.
I was almost positive that
I saw a 'glow in the dark' angel butt the last time I went to a club,
except that Cody never carried a comb in his back pocket. But damn, those
buns looked familiar.

I
hope you enjoyed my tribute to my special friend. I've tried to
reflect the fun that he brought into so many of our lives and
the love that he radiated to everyone. So what's up in this issue
of the news? The big thing is probably the results of the Tarzan
competition and a new one. Reader's Tarzan Selection. What the
hell I'm just having fun, so read on. Around the page you'll find
some fun I had with Tarzan dudes that weren't entered or who might
have lost if they had been. Like I said, I'm just having fun here.
I had
this page pretty well wrapped until a fucking shit thing happened
early in October. Gary, MrB, had a heart attack. I really thought
my world was shattering and it was gonna be November 2001 all over
again. But he is out of hospital and back at the keyboard and
doing okay. He stopped smoking a few weeks before the attack...go
fucking figure! Anyway I lambasted him for riding his bicycle when
his car "Tough Titties" is standing outside getting rust
:)
Summer is officially
here and I'm not sure yet what my plans are for the break but I think
I'm gonna have to try and find some work to make some extra pocket money.
My pocket money dried up when I was on the binge and I've got a way to
go to prove myself before that comes my way again. In the meantime I don't
reckon it'll kill me to work for a change.
Had some drama
that saw me taking on a dude that has been giving me a fucking hard time.
Who won? Fuck knows, are there ever any winners?
 Might
go up to Johannesburg for a while and work with Mark. He is ready
to launch that mother that he's been busy with and there's another
one coming into the yard, so there's plenty to do there, besides
yacht building :) Yeah right!! Hey what the hell I can just stare
at him while he's having a shower every morning and night. But
that is still a few weeks away and I've got time to figure out
exactly what I want to do before then. I know what Fingers would
want me to do. Lost? Well the Mr B readers will catch on what
I'm talking about. Fingers is Mark's boss and the owner of the
house where Mark has a small apartment.
Enjoy the
page.

Sweet
my Bro!
  
 
I
don't have a frigging clue who this dude is but if anyone out there
has, then let me know. And if you have any cool pics of him, then send
them to me :) Well, only if you wanta. But damn I would make this guy
win any Tarzan comp with the right bribe!
|
Watching a guy with a muscular back in
the shower will be enough to start a good evening. Of course it
always helps when the V shaped back is on top of a pair of really
kewl drum buns.
When you're that close to your friend that you
can enjoy an intimate kiss that means nothing more than, "I loveya
bud!" then you know that you friendship is real.
|
Ever been in a situation when you're
really desperate and then that's the time your bud decides to have
problems with the buttons on your Levis?

Cody used to tell me
that I had those really cool, cute, horny lines that run from your
hips to your pubes and they're like an arrow, pointing the way to
the treasure chest.
Blondes do it in style!
|
This dude looks like
he could be a lot of fun. Wonder if he's ticklish?
Having one cut bud for
the night is pretty damn kewl but just imagine if he bring HIS cut
bud as well :)

Tarzan Loser Three
That's what he said mom. He said I
had too many bumps all over and that my mommy dressed me funny.

Tarzan Loser Four
Look, the rules said that you had
to be covered. I don't give a shit that you might've won the thing
for me but if you call me jelly belly just one more fucking time
......
|
Hey, you've got such a big mouth, you gonna
keep me hanging here all day?
|
I'm not sure what it is, but us
blondes have definitely got something going for us, and it's not
always the hair. Now I've seen a different pic of this cute little
hunk and maybe I should be calling him a cute little hungk.
