Of Bestfriends, dead horses, lost causes, failiures and total Heartbreaks!



To make a friend, a good friend often takes a great deal of elements coming together.
Well alot of you will disagree
with that and proclaim that you and that buddy
of yours just snapped and blended without the need for an emulsifier of some sort. You will agree though that the timing, humor, conversation, the angle of the sun, share of ambition, exploits in life, definition of character all come into telling if the two of you actually have a chance at tomorrow and the day after that.
Sadly though breaking up with a friend and letting all the history shared be lost to the wind, for many does not quite need the same level of persuasion.

Not quite so long ago, in my teens (I think), me and those of my kind(here I mean my mates) felt that having a best friend was of the utmost importance, it was such a big deal; you needed that person you would always count on to have you're back,to be right by you as you made your way up some dusty path to pick up that disgusting meal at school (or eat you would not). I have met people who couldn't even twitch a muscle in the absence of their 'best friends', a party is not one without them, a decision not made without being a share in opinion, a breath not taken without them, let alone a tongue wagged to blurt out a statement, we are talking addiction me friends!!

So that time passed, candles were blown and we grew not only in inch but in understanding. our brains put on a few pounds so to speak.
After a few very telling backstabbing incidents, we finally realized that in the real world, people are only as good as you're last meeting with them, disappointments are for real and that they define every day that wakes under the unrelenting sun. We learnt that trust without the thickness of blood is a hard bargain! And to borrow the distasteful Anglo-Saxon (am guessing here) saying, ' life is not a bed of roses'

So to expect perfection from humans would be grossly far fetched, even Tiger woods is a testimony to that! Their is a crack and peel even in the freshest and most recent of paints!

Just who do the Egyptians think they are eh?

Today I am going full bloodied on this because it is not only inhuman but absolute carnage by the Egyptians but also the people in bed with them over the Nile water sharing agreement!, but first the facts! 1. The Nile Water Agreement of 1929, granting Egypt the lion's share of the Nile waters, was drawn up at a time when Egypt was a British satellite, regarded as strategically crucial by London because of the Suez canal, which controlled access to India. The agreement is now in effect enforced by international donors, who are reluctant to advance funds for major river projects that will upset Egypt, a key Arab ally of the US in the Middle East. Sub-Saharan countries cannot match Egypt's diplomatic clout, but they face a dilemma as a major untapped resource rolls through their territories. "We have reached a stage where all the Nile basin countries are confronted by domestic development challenges," said Halifa Drammeh, a deputy director of the United Nations environme

About Religious fundamentalism!

Wikipedia refers to fundamentalism as a belief in a strict adherence to an established set of basic principles (often religious in nature), sometimes as a reaction to perceived doctrinal compromises with modern social and political life. I on the other hand perceive it as a reluctance or better still the complete refusal to engage or in a mind set that is contradictory to your own. It is the extreme form of radicalism to me! Now in the last couple of days, President Barrack Hussein Obama ( as his tormentors so affectionately like to refer to him) has got the hard end of christian fundamentalists all over the world (but more so in the U.S) for his purported indifference at the proposed construction of a mosque right next to the site of the fateful September the 11th bombings in New york city. Because of that, a recent survey shows that 18% of Americans surveyed think President Obama is a Muslim, many argue that he is not in that case worthy to hold office simply because they believe to

Confessions of a non+alcoholic!

Some time last year I decided after what was fast becoming a pretty obvious pattern of life, that I needed to try something new, something different, I needed an experiment of some sort, only this time i was the guinea pig. So after a few moments of thought, well a little bit less than that I came to my decision, never mind the stark nudity in the social consequences involved. What I had decided on was alcohol, yes I know that sounds very wrong especially if you are me from even the most acute of angles but then again yes, besides this was an experiment and I could add purely for research reasons, as the Japanese say each time they are hunting our precious whales. Now obviously I was a very new entrant in the market but my knowledge for the drug was not of a new born, I knew a thing or two and that came in handy. On the few occasions when the 'laboratory 'was in good order I asked only for what the not so ordinary twenty something year old would define as the "sexy"
