Valentines day is grossly overated, over publicised and subscribed!



It is supposed to be a holy day in the catholic church, an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions.The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 500 AD (wikipedia) However sometime in the middle ages, a chap started a craze associating it with romance and what not..., so that a couple of hundred years on we have this: gravely anxious couples, desperate singles, annoying businessmen all somehow conniving to make what would be a simple ordinary day, hell and hugely stressful for those of us who really don't care a thing of it!

I don't mean to come off as all suave and romantic but if someone really cared about you then surely he/she would not need a 'special' day to express or rather portray his undying over the moon feelings for you! The day is littered with couples all strewn over the place in red and black! (Seriously is the best color combination you guys can come up with?) You cannot take a walk, cannot go enjoy a meal in your favourite restaurant arrrrrgh!!!

listen here is what, I think you guys have totally lost the plot, expression without impression means nothing, absolutely nothing! I know of guys who break up the very next day just so they don't come off as insensitive!
I wish people are a little more discreet this time, and quit asking everybody you meet what their plans are for the day because some simply do not give a dogs foot what happens! I will buy a couple of movies the day before, stock up some food and lock myself up then wake up the next morning with bigger zeal!

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"
