I am a great fan of Polyp's cartoons. His work in the New Internationalist was always first rate and directly to the point. As so often this one is simple but highly effective.Hat-tip: Africa is a Country

I have finally moved out, something I have been contemplating for the past two years.
 

My apologies, dear blogren.
The week started off really badly. One of our laptops got stolen and in the ensuing chaos, I totally forgot to put up the BHH announcement on BlogSpirit.
BHH is today, 30th April 2009.
Time to go meet the crew, grab some chill time and just have fun.
Rogue out.

"We are a Nation of Thieves and Lying is the Common Language"- I heard this quote not long ago. And it is true, sad to say. For some contries it is more true and more prevalent than others but basically it is true for any and all nations that I know of.You might say, that your in your nation, thieving and lying is only done in small an insignificant ways. In "The Parable of the Talents" (Matt 25:14-30) it says in verses 21 and 23 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'". So if you are stealing and lying in small things, wouldn't you be the unfaithful servant?

(not sure why i posted that pic-but i did. those girls up there do not represent the topic below..clear...yap-they are dancers by profession) The other day, on my way home… and in need of a ‘fix’ (that’s a Nile Special lager), I decide to drop into Al’s Bar.Anyone who’s been there, knows the kind of crowd that I had for company (minus the usual expatriate guy)And the reason for posting this is to ask…Do you think Prostitutes have a choice? or are they just lazy a%& gals.And when you see one… what comes to your mind?

And Other Overheard conversations... “The one thing I cannot do without after my family are my Firebase Boys. I need to know that they are fine every time. I can’t live without them. They give me reason to work harder. They are my constant reminder that life can change and that I can change someone’s life. “ Bobi Wine, Ugandan singer responsible for such songs like Mazzi Mawanvu, Kiwani, Taata w’Abana Casual Ugandan Speak “Baganda, ha! They are total hypocrites. Me I can’t trust them. There is a way they are not straight people. They can pretend and greet you but in their hearts, you know they hate you as long as you are not a Muganda. They wait for an opportunity to turn on you. The day this government goes, you wait and see. They are bad, bad, bad people! Me I can’t trust them. I know them! As long as you are not a Muganda, you can never be one of them. They wait and wait until the time is right for them to strike you down.”

The other day i woke up on the wrong side of my bed so i got out of bed and decided to go for a rather long walk. Left the house at 9am and walked to the trail which is an hour away from the house didn’t realise it was that far…..i get to the trail and [...]

It is hard to avoid John Githongo these days. The publicity generated by his starring role in Michela Wrong's excellent 'It's Our Turn to Eat' has once again catapulted him to the forefront of Kenyan politics.

Its amazing how even with my Christian faith anything that I have heard throughout my lifetime that was somewhat superstitious kind of does affect me apart from Friday the 13th and the meeting a woman in the morning though considering that I am one this wouldn’t apply to me I guess.

Strangely, I've always wanted to appear natural in your picture. Not excessively gifted by nature with a beautiful face or striking looks; just real. I thought you would place me in an old rustic kitchen, nothing like the ones we have these days... One with cold water and concrete slabs; no modern artifacts to marr the scene. I pictured a cheery little fire place breathing warmth into the room where I'd stand in an old blue dress. I'd have an apron of course, it'd be white with stains of soot from when soiled hands strayed unconsciously. They'd be an old toothless black dog asleep at my feet on the cold stone floor and a wooden table at the centre of the room loaded with a colourful assortment of fruits and vegetables.... My hair would be wild, tangled in the way only sea breezes can or perhaps the eager fingers of an amateur lover.

It's not love's going that hurts,but that it went in simple ways.

THAT IS THE WORKSHOP. ON THE LEFT YOU CAN SEE THE BELT SANDER WE USE TO SMOOTH OUT THE BAMBOO.

The day payo bestowed this award he warned me not fox like he did. The Payo I know would fox. He did not include it in the 10 things about himself. Well this is about me. I almost ignored it to but the temptation was to high for me to ignore. Talking about thyself is one thing I have not done in a long time. I have been honored and touched to receive this award. So I'll bow first and unleash the person in me. I present to you Mckeith.1. I am still intact. I'd rather not dwell on this too much but I have reserved thyself for that person am yet to find. I'd want to use the V-word but I hope you get that one.2. I am too shy. Ok I have been close to so many people and the one thing they always tell me is that am shy. This normally happens with the female specie. Eye contact is always avoided and I normally walk head facing down with my Ipod and earphones plugged in my ears. I'll greet as many people as possible but when you start complementing me I'll blush all the way.

...there's something about today that i dont quite get...i feel happy, at peace, elated...u know. i feel so good, (about what i have no clue), its scary.cant wait to see how it goes....For now, i hope i can draw from this feeling today on the days when the cloud over my head grows thick...i'm thankful, to whatever; i'm not that easy to please....interesting facts expressed in interesting waysCondom says to Pad "When you work, I lose seven days of business."Pad replies, "If you fail to work once, my business stops for Ninemonths!"**************************************A camel and an elephant met, and the elephant asked: "Why do you have

Dan Brown plunges headlong into the age old conflict between Religion and science in his breathtaking novel Angels and Demons. This novel revolves around the ancient lore and history of a secret brotherhood that was hunted and persecuted by the Catholic Church for centuries, The Illuminati.In the 1600s the teachings of enlightened scientists and artists were regarded as a threat to the existence of the church which preferred to govern its followers through fear and strict adherence to dogma, the scientists were hounded for their radical theories and free rein of thought, for instance when Galileo proclaimed to the world that the planets were in rotation around the sun he was placed under house arrest.

I held a stranger in my arms last night. She was cold and broken on the inside out and, filled with pain, afraid of the of the ghosts of the past that had come to haunt her. She held me so tight, I was afraid I would be ripped to shreds and yet I knew I wouldn't let her go even if I had the chance to.......
