Replacement

You know how everyone I know (which means you don't really know but follow me still) doesn't approve of the radio stations we have? How they complain that it could be more, that radio is in fact lacking in a lot of ways. I had this rant about radio too and couldn't fail to complain about something everyday. Then I realised that my complaining was just draining my spirit and it wouldn't really change anything. And something miraculous happened, I found my mother's collection of preaching tapes from our old church days in the 90s! Since my little car has a tape deck and no CD player or any such fancy things (is someone willing to pimp out my music system in my car and add in an ipod thingie too please?), it was a really great idea to play them instead of listening to crab salad recipes. You don't know about crab salad? Let me explain.Sanyu FM is the only station I listen to in my car because well, I like the music and I have learnt to stand the inanity of it all. But then my easy drive home was interrupted by one Jimmy Jones. Does anyone remember Irish? Can the authorities that be please pull an Irish on this Jimmy Jones? For no other reason than I can't even switch on my radio in the evenings cuz I will cause an accident from spastic motions of anger I can't control. Pr. Heintze is really soothing and relevant so I had already switched from Sanyu to him before I heard this story. Someone told me that Jimmy Jones has a show about cooking or something and for two days now he has given out nuggets of wisdom in terms of CRAB recipes. He says things like, 'you need live, fresh crabs and 8mg of them', or 'you can just walk into any of these supermarkets and ask for crabs, they have them'. I just died of laughter and breathed a sigh of relief that my lesson on God's thoughts for us was available at the time. There's my first replacement. I replaced radio with God's word. Can I hear a halleluiah?Something awful nearly happened this morning. I almost put this blog post in my newly opened Wordpress blog! Shock! Horror! Atrocity! It's all Blogger's fault. I wanted to write about Jimmy Jones and how he should be taken off of my beloved Sanyu FM and hope that someone in the Sanyu HR department might fall on this and realise that the idea of crab salad for a relevant recipe to Ugandans is totally atrocious. It shows a lack of basic knowledge of what one is talking about, an inability to do personal research and instead pick up something that is already written and mimick it on radio. Oh how much more can I excuse my not listening to the evening drive anymore. So, can Crystal come back and I'll babysit Maxine while she talks sense to us? Anyway, I'm digressing from the matter. I meant to say that I cannot be a 'Presser' since I'm already a 'Blogger' and I like to stick to what I know. Hence my frustration with trying to sign in to my blogger account a million times (slight exaggeration) led me to open up a wordpress account and just as I was starting to type a new post, Blogger opened. I almost cheated. And I say this with my head hung in shame. I almost replaced Blogger with Wordpress. I know, I know, some of you might say the latter is the better option but I just don't want to commit to more things. Facebook, Twitter and all those things are taking up enough of my time already. So Wordpress is still there waiting just in case Blogger lets me down again.Carpe Diem.
