Why I love being a South African……………..

In what element of existence did our politics became a ritual to portray vengeance and how politically divided people are? While all these politicians lock horns in parliament,
the poorest of the poor suffer. Sure the last few years of democracy haven’t been easy for anyone-crime, vocal talents of weaponry song and the silver bullet for the judiciary- not easy scenery to attest to I guess. But all of us must work towards for the better country that those who fought for it wanted it to be. It is of no coincidence with the interesting choice of words that our politicians use these days-“kill” and “eliminate”.

Swine flu.

I am not the most keen pork cannibal,but the swine flu is scaring the skin out of me. It only puzzles me that earlier cases of the flu were recorded in around 1918 and even today it is still a chaotic problem. Malaria killed more people than the people killed in one of the world wars, but today it can be cured.What about the swine flu? That is a question for a founding father or even science itself.

I have seen thermal photos taken from various airports and i am not really sure how effective that is for trying to isolate people infected with this flu. I just hope things can get better at the earliest threshold.

List of five things you should know about "neighbouring"

1. I am sure there is a reason for a naked eye.But you can't really avoid your neighbour like a dust particle, unless you have caged a kalahari lion with a twenty meter wall fence in your home.

2.Obviously they don't share a kitchen with you, so just be careful that you are not a neighbour to a mini crack factory.

3. Oh yah! about your kids, rather chain their bicycles to the gate so that their radar is limited to few yards, with kids you never know.There are lot of Uncle 'Bunnies' and 'snack' name personalities you woulnd't even find such brands in any Chinese market.

4.You dont to raise a flag on top of the roof-leave the patriotism in your study room,unless you own a military lab.Find other ways to communicate.

5.I think it is usually in Hollywood's where Spielberg depicts neighbours giving a new neighbour a fish dish or a pink cake, but come on, on this global economic meltdown you wouldn't even afford to give away pasta.No offence to the morale behind that,but digging deep into a pocket is worth too much.

goin once!, twice! and the answer is sold

Like many of the bloggers i was also fast to jump on the high horse and bluff about American politics early in the beginning of the year.Maybe it is time to return the favour and bluff about my country's politics.

Yesterday South Africans went to the polls.I had an intention not to cast my share of exercising the democratic right.But patriotism got to my head with extreme temptation and desparation when i compared what my country has been through.

Fifteen minutes before closure of the voting stations i decided against all the cynical perceptions and casted my own.It was an amazing feeling marking the ballot,i then realised that voting is an important part of our democracy.I love my country.

It doesn't matter if congress is called cabinet in here or a traffic light a robot.That makes me proud and i am willing to vote everytime there is an election.I think that was one political bluff about my country.This is enough afore i spill the beans and hang the carpets against my flag.

Ouch!

Who really does want to live forever? Even though people become self conscious when they age there is a funny element about time in all of this. Most old people are the one’s buying orthopedic pillows and age adjusted materials. Young people are eating fast foods and doing some dances you will be amazed what are else they are good at in any flexibility chores. The basis is that healthy lifestyle begins when you are young; you can’t start having a juice punch when you are fifty five whereas twenty three years ago you were a whisky tank.

Maybe the biggest is fear is growing grey and not be able to even see the hair you are losing on the pillow when your face is a GPS graphiti, who cares? I just don’t want a fifteen centimeters Botox syringe that looks like a vaccination syringe for a cow in my face.

I would rather opt for a healthy lifestyle, only if I could leave the television and the couch. Healthy lifestyle is hard and challenging. But it is good to start now or else you will be running mini marathons from the kitchen to the porch when you are sixty five.

Who said that was boring!

Swing to the green and that is a great birdie. It is amazing that you play so much of a sport for days and go home with a green jacket, i know all the rewards of playing golf are okay.I just dont know if i can wear a check trouser and bend my waist few painful degrees and still look like i am a luggage. I used to think that Golf was a commercial world of luxury for CEO's to meet for a whisky and cigar that is bigger than their toothbrush. I was obviously wrong after seeing Tiger swing one to the meadows.

Whichever sport keeps you on the peak, good for you. Some people would rather watch a man hitting a ball for a six outside a cricket ground or watch a bunch of guys who has a muscles larger than their kitchen sink play rugby.

Naive and she has got some nerve.

It is a tiring world out there with skeptics, populists and believers. Sometimes it is a better choice to keep mysteries puzzling. Einstein died in his mathematical expedition to formulate an equation to communicate with God-it was a good idea to bow down if you ask me. A biblical scholar and a scientist predicts that the end of the world will occur in 2060 A.D after analyzing the gospel of Revelation in the Bible, Newton really did put a lot of effort for asking why the apple fell from the tree. I just hope he knew that many before him did so and this time around take my advice and don’t slaughter your goats and burn your roof to ashes.

Sometimes we need faith, a contradictory element in what science aims to achieve. So it is better to live and do what we do this days- eat fast foods, not go to the gym and call your wife while you are on sofa for a sandwich at half-time and do all the errands.

By errand I don’t mean chasing after unidentified flying objects (UFO’s) or hunting ghosts in an 18th century mansion that only needs decoration as opposed to the paranormal activities that people hunt with a thermal camera.

Believers are so keen of the possibility of life on a planet other than ours. It’s like Halloween party, except that they expect advanced technology and intelligence out of all this. I mean if the aliens are making crop-circles like believers do believe, why don’t they share their artistry with their graphiti on a wall in New York?

By the way don’t get me started on Vampires-the only vampires we know at the moment are female mosquitoes, keep it that way and leave all the monster toys under the bed.

Against the ropes

Physicians call it whatever latin term they call it,psychics will want to download everything from your past and the tell you what you just told them.You have probably heard about Chinese flexibility recommendations from your neighbour who can't even stretch a toe.

Well i say call it the way you feel like it is.I mean somedays you just wake up like you have been hit by a garbage truck or Ali gave you some hard blows.That is how you should feel and express yourself, not some over the calendar hypothetical guinea pig perceptions which equates to nothing less but to a statistic.

Oh yah!! it sounds cynical,well it is not by any degree.
