green illusion

Truth is that the excitement and expectations that came to symbolise this time of the year several years back has dwindled. I have sent far fewer text messages to friends, I have woken up much later than I would, and am not on my way to church. That for me is really unfortunate, knowing esspecialy that I was raised a far much better christian man. All said though what seems not to have changed for me through the years is what this time of the year means to me and those around me. Christmass is a time when we get to be around family, friends and relatives. Around the the people we love and hold dear to our hearts. Christmass remains a time when we get to express acts of kindness to people in our communities, even to those we may not know. Christmass is a happy time, a time of sharing even the little we have. So I do wish you all a jolly merry christmass this year and may your hearts be touched with the magic of it! Cheers!

NRM will rule Elections are just round the corner and naturally that means we get to speak and talk about it more than we usually do!( does that make sense?) Posters have been raised and the media is awash with daily updates on who said what or did what for that matter! Now the current government could be the most criticized in the East African region for reasons I'd rather not get into and mainly because everybody does have a right to opinion and I am certain what influences those opinions cannot be exhausted! That said, here is why I think Ugandans(or rather the majority of them) are not willing or shall we say 'ready' to give up their yellow panties! Yoweri Museveni First off the patterns of voting are influenced by three main principles; allegiance, performance and promise! Honestly speaking very few parties in Uganda can be chosen basing on those three aspects, which is why some of the contenders are often regarded as 'jokers' unworthy of even the slightest pol...

Granted man Utd are still the only unbeaten team in the premier league this season, however they have conceded far more goals than their bitter rivals Chelsea and scored fewer goals as well, at this stage of the season they lie 5 points adrift of them and 3 adrift of the city rivals. What kills me is the apparent indifference of the manager at the results, choosing instead to highlight the positives. take for example his comments after the latest result at old trafford, he said, "I suppose there are two ways of looking at it. If we were in the middle of the league we could say we were still undefeated." , "It is not a defining result in terms of where the league is going to end up but we cannot keep doing that." the only time he got low and hard is when he used the term "inexplicable"! Where is the 'Hair dryer' Sir Alex? Where is the characteristic gusto with which you have swept us away with all these years? Hell some fans are beginning to think y...

" A FOOL TAKES NO PLEASURE IN UNDERSTANDING BUT ONLY IN EXPRESSING HIS OPINION " As you take time chewing on that rather colourful expression up there, let me caution you that if you were expecting a rather warm, fuzzy poem in the exact definition of the term 'ode'then I am sorry to disappoint you because this will be nothing like a an artistic creation, if anything I intend to make it far worse than the wildest of rants of this man's transgressions. God help me! In case you are not yet familiar with who the man is, allow me, this is the guy who heads a small church in the US, who threatened to burn a couple of Quorans as a commemoration of the September 11th bombings in New York city. Normally I would just walk away from this, maybe give a very small opinion and just move on because it is afterall his every right to express his opinion, I mean why not he is after all A grizzled 58-year-old who packs a .40-caliber pistol on his hip, Jones heads a small congregatio...

Lets make that detest, No wait loathe feels better, I find them repugnant! Arrrgh!!! I almost puke at the thought of them! Now am sure there are multiple definitions of the word so here is my personal take on it: a snob is a person who takes himself to be above everyone else, considering all not him, too ordinary! Alright the truth is we all got a piece of that in us, I know I do and I hate it so vehemently with a passion so intense! I hate myself even more because Every now and when I allow myself to drift back into that person. I may not do it so boldly but there are those things that when I close my eyes just before drifting off to a lucid dream, I think about and am pretty certain were works of that other side! Listen guys it does not pay o treat others like nothings, it does not! As a matter of fact it only soils your soul! In the past few months I have been to quite a few offices looking for this and that and at times you meet people who make you feel as close to shit as possible...

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 ...

If you look at images of just about any inch of their land right this moment or read even just the headlines coming out of their country you would struggle to find any cause to feel sorry for them especially after the evil act committed in their cause right here on the motherland that fateful July the 11th. However not so long ago I decided there is just cause to know these guys, if anything to see what they are really made of aye! So I discovered these guys have been suffering for a very long time and it is not entirely their fault! First it was the Portuguese trying to secure a strategic ground in the trade route, and later on Mussolini and the Italians tried to take the place in the 1940's before fleeing right at start of the second world war! The British then had their go and almost succeeded at calming things down. They however got tired of the place and made a great mistake giving the Ogaden to the Ethiopians and handing the mentoring role back to the Italians who had done so...
