To those that asked, here goes.Where do you fall? To circumcise or not to circumcise, for men that is?Circumcission seems to be the thing these days for various reasons, many of which I don’t buy. Personally, I am against circumcision simply because I am against self-mutilation of any kind. Nothing to do with all the scientific facts about reduced chances of getting HIV (condoms do that a lot better) and theories on how the girls love it better (haven’t received complaints yet). I am doing just fine with the foreskin on.That profile pic of yours,,,do u look remotely like that? I could swear i've seen u before. Or the real owner of that "face". U look somewhat like "Chege", that guy in "The river between". Never seen him tho (i just put his name to that face).

    • Just when the world was about to forget all about Amin and Ugandans could travel around the world without having ignorant chaps asking if Amin was still the President, FoxSearchlight pictures has him well-packaged and ready to be unleashed onto the 21st century.The Last King of Scotland is set to be released later this month and it is likely to generate a lot of talk about Amin and his terrible regime.I have to admit I have been waiting for the movie for a while because its the only movie I have actually ever seen being shot. I remember having different parts of Kampala blocked off as the crews were shooting or seeing Makerere University Library miraculously turned into Entebbe airport's lounge (at least thats what I think it was).It was rather funny seeing old Peugeots, Citroens, VW Beetles from the 70s being planted along the roads as props.

    It’s about 10pm and I am at the counter in my local slowly poisoning my liver but liking the process immensely. My usual buddies are not around so I am making some chitchat with the bar lady in between watching bits of a recorded premiere league match (sans volume) on the screen above. The background music is just right and everything is cool.In walk Jon and a beautiful young lady that I seem to know from some place. Jon walks over to me and gives his greetings. Young lady picks sits on a barstool next to Jon, who is now sitting on my right. I am introduced to the young lady and vice verse. The young lady is called Sue. The name does not set off any chimes in my head but the face still looks familiar.Sue offers to buy pork for both her and Jon but Jon declines, he says something about an early supper or late lunch.

    I got this idea from another blogger a while back but I didnt think much of it then. But now I think it could actually be interesting.Basically, I want you guys out there to ask me anything you want. The questions can be about myself, my opinions on issues, they can be whimsical but humorous. Actually anything except my name. This ought to be interesting for me seeing what kinds of questions y'all come up with. Send in the questions by email to hommenwa at yahoo dot fr.Will be dropping the answers in a week or so. For obvious reasons, some questions I might not answer fully.
