It seems

Maybe I am just being a little paranoid here but ever since i handed in my resignation i hacve been getting the short end of a very short stick. maybe my mind working overtime but it cant all be in my head can it?

Of headaches and life

So I am thinking of just walking out. CEO's can just be stupid sometimes. Why? I dont really know. Anyway because someone did not send my cheque in for payment of one of my bills, I have been cut off. Very embarassing piece of business that. Not quite what I need. Terrible headache. Body aches and all that jazz. Need to sleep.

Odd health

I am feeling under the weather. I think I am coming on witrh something. A bug they say is going around. Hope it doesnt come over the weekend because that doesnt help much does it? The point is to miss work i think. Arsenal should really just forget about Baptista but I guess the fact that they are still pushing it means they know something we dont.

Sometimes it is for the best

I just had to change my notice. I was supposed to leave at the end of August but now am here for an extra month after that. Maybe there is a reason for that. I sure hope so because I am beginning to really hate being here. It is a beautiful day though. The weather is beautiful and I am serving a local shop with a complaint letter. It is branded SPAR and that should be interesting in as far as their holding the franchise is concerned because they sold me somethng which was quite rotten. So much so it had moth in it. So they are 'avin it mate. Oh and I see Thierry Henry is going on about trusting Wenger. Good music from the new skipper that. That is what you need your skipper to be doing. Working for the cause of the side. Sometimes Paddy as much as we bloody loved him talked like someone who was disgruntled with our lot. Which is not what you need for your side. The captain is the one who holds the ship together and should fiercely fight everything else that is out there. He prote...

Love

It is a beautiful thing isnt it? That feeling that you could fly and that there is in your express belief only one person who can catch you. You feel so lonely without her. You feel so natural when you're with her and things never are the same again. That is how the new babyface album makes me feel mate. I hate it because I wish someone would say some of those things to me and too have me say some of those things to her and that sort of thing. Oh goodness... It is a beautiful feeling this love thing. In love with the idea of being in love. Now to find love though I am not sure that one goes about looking for it. I mean how do you look for love. What if we're so curiously constituted that we are sitting ducks in this whole affair? That we could search for it but because we have defined it based on human elements among us and experiences that have prejudiced us, we miss out on it. Ah life and love...

Ashes pom misery

Michael Vaughan was ill-advised to claim that the Aus machine was over the hill. Shane Warne old? Oh my goodness he was just setting it up wasnt he? Now it is day four coming and well it's over isnty it? unless it rains proper this match is gone. Interesting that the sun reports that we have agreed the sum for the beast and now it is just up to him. I say we just forget him and get Torres. Acquiring him is just too much work. About life, a few changes and stuff

It just seems sometimes

You have nothing to say to yourself ot anyone else. An anger so deep and seated it almost boils and reeks of hatred but at the same time an understanding though quiet of how the wolrd fucntions and that for the purposes of posterity one must let go of that anger and give way to tempered reason. I just sucks sometimes. So much you dont even have the energy to discuss sport...

Another tragedy, Al Q'aeda must be destroyed

More bombs, more lives, less security.It is turning into a nightmare for the people of London. Now when they get on a bus, they only hope that they will get where they are supposed to be. The life they had is now surely taken away. A friend sent me an email after reading this blog saying that wee have all reached the stage where we can sacrifice privacy for the sake of sifting out the enemy. Our hope is that the authorities who will access this information will use it in good faith. It has become a truly scary world. Here in Harare muggings have become more violent with people losing their lives. I just heard yesterday of a man who was stabbed by a bunch of miscreants and then they hung him up a tree so as to make it look like a suicide. this man was on his way to work in the wee-hours of the morning. And at popular shopping center a pool of blood was seen by one of my workmates. A man had apparently been fatally stabbed.

Away

Been in kariba for the past couple of days on business. Am up late working on trhe system. So bloody hot here it feels like another country. I mean it never gets cold at all. It is so bloody hot here it is offending. The vice president is around staying in one of the suites and funny I tell you. They put a new varnish on the airport walls because she was coming. Poverty everywhere but because she is coming over they clean the place up. Funny as hell. And thne there is the GM from here, he is one of those blokes who just seems to have a serious lack of identity. He talks a lot of trash to be honest. Greeks, nigerians, myths, christianity. You've got to be something mate. But I guess he is not interested in being anything. Theory after theory which he is arse-about-face sure that is fact. So we sold Paddy. Hate to say it but I called it here . Really he had to go. Get someone in and we get going. Paddy has been a great servant and thanks mate but we really had to move forward and t...

Slum Village

Oh man the new one is burning. Prequel to a classic. It feels good that. The slum burn holes through your brain. Trying to be positive here. Listening to the Common Like Chocolate for Water and that is a classic right there. Damn that Thelonious track is heavy right there. Keep it shaking

It's a revolution

I am still feeling the pain of London 7/7/05. It is etched in my head. When the security of the free world was further compromised. And now when you look in The Sun newspaper you begin to see the losses. The individuals I spoke of yesterday, missing now, the agony of hoping for the best and fearing the west. God help us all On other issues my personal life looks to be getting dramatic now. Just a few interesting developments in my life. When they become more definite we will post it up.

London 7/7/05

The day after those fundamentalists encroached on liberty and our natural right to life, we are faced with a lot of uncertainties based on something that we all already knew. This world is no longer safe, this world has lost its innocence. We live in perrenial fear now that one day while we're walking down the road some person with an agenda that has nothing to do with us will affect our lives, maybe even take it. Noone who boarded the tube or the number 30 bus had any idea save for the perpetrators of this heinous crime. What is freedom, what is liberty for them at such a cost. Following a week in which finally the world was ready to take responsibilty for its poor this happens. It just makes it hard nowadays to put a smile on your face. And those whose lives were snuffed away by those individuals with a thirst for innocent blood, they will not see the premiership, nor will they watch the British and Irish Lions tomorrow. They will not watch the world cup in 2006, they will not be...

Rant and rave

I just found out, someone might not be coming iover for the holiday which sucks. A blast in London, which is just as well because it came the day after London got the Olympics. Baptista has not been signed and that belarus chap is still waiting for his work permit. Lil' Kim only got 1 year which means that justice again only serves therich and famous. I cant stop listening to my remix of nas's new york state of mind. Nas would really enjoy it think. Well it's back to work. Might rant later!

When will it all end

I have ignored the poverty of my fellow men for too long. I want to do something. It hurts me to see how sick the world is and the leaders going on without the slightest care. I turn to God in prayer, yes but it is hard to have faith when all you see before you is getting worse. I see my own personal circumstances for reasons i cannot disclose taking a turn for the worse soon. I am certain that i will survive many of these things but I can feel the misfortune at my doorstep. I just hope I am as ready as i imagine i am. I have to make it!

Ah poor zimbabwe

The amount of traffic outside is sad. Usually the city is buzzing with activity but there really is a fuel crisis of proportions because cars are just parked now. I have a guy who came in to do my garden and he says he was planning a lot for himself until this latest craze by the government denied him of a right to happiness and prosperity. He had walked from Chitungwiza, a city at least 30 km outside mine and the money I gave him for his effort isnt anywhere near what his services were worth. But both of us are caught in a fix. Where I feel I wish I could give him more and he knows I cant afford more. Still I will try and find a way of helping him. It is really sad, I have a cocktail to go to now and I am not even sure why there is anyone out there celebrating

Just one of those Days

Today I look awful. It looks like it is going to be a bad day. I just need to make it through. Have a few results coming up today. Now to listen to that trapped in the close t by R Kelly . An interesting operetta that. Only got to watch the video yesterday, all five chapters. Not getting married if you ask me.

Jump-Off and sport is back

Well did anyone watch the aussie-england final yesterday. If that is how the whole tour is likely to bear then sign me up mate. Nothing between the two of them mate. Just good cricket. And it means sport is back, the whole uncertainty of it all where teams play till the death and there are twists and turns make for the juice that has us hooked on sport. Heard the new Jump Off Joey? Get Up and Move are the two I have. Jus Blaze and Joey is proper right there.. Cant wait for the The Growth... Holla!

My life

I havea few stalkers at the moment. Now scared of answering my phones so much that i nopw give my phones to someone else to keep. It is hard life this
