i was watching a movie the other day and i could see the distress on the character's face and even the way she sounded. it made her almost, human. i could identify with her for that little moment in time when everythig was going so wrong(welcome to my life). then i remebered, wait, i know how this thing ends, she gets everything she wants. so she's back to being a make believe character. nobody ever gets everything they want, not even the rich brats. oh well back to my 'discovery'. as i kept watching the movie and seeing the poor girl cry her heart out(no! it wasnt a mexican soap! i loathe those things.), i kept thinking, i know how your story ends kiddo. you get your prince charming, win that scholarship and everything will be alright. thats the way of movies and books. you could start reading a book and you know which characters will get together but you read it anyway to see the whole heartbraeking journey in the hope that your own heartbreaking(im using this word loosely here) journey has a happily ever after. everytime i watch a movie or read a book i wish i'd have a fairy godmother whispher to me 'kiddo i know how it ends' and smile for then i would know that my story indeed has a happy ending.

REVENGE OF THE ONION
God created everything with a defense mechanism, insects, animals and plants each have thier own safety measures. just like humans, all these organisms have a great desire to preserve life but some do so at their own expense. take the honey bee for instance. the little hardworking insect produces a sweet substance(for y'all who are floating, i mean honey) which humans have been dying(some have actually died) to get their grubby paws on for time immemorial. the bees have a sting(which hurts like hell btw. what? i like honey too. :)) and they use this against any hapless human or animal that dares steal it. the problem is once a bee uses its sting, it dies(well apart from that animation where they put a thumb tack on its butt. lol). i think subconsciously, the bees know what happens if they use the sting. i mean, they must have seen more than one of their members expiring from using it(apart from adam bee ofcourse. he was the first). you would think the'd come up with a new for of defense but no, they insist on stinging you to death. literally.
then comes the onion. i'd love to see anyone who ever cut onions up and failed to shed a single tear or get all teary. these food additives(and they make food taste awesome) are lethal! they can bring even the strongest to his knees with just one cut. i think thats their revenge, (im thinking like an onion here-dont judge) mhh, this human thinks he can eat me?? i'll show him! then the little(an average onion fits in the palm of your hand) thing goes ahead and makes you cry. you never enjoy an onion without paying the price(or owning a cook. take your pick). even if we get the last word (mouthful), the onion gets its revenge. eat me but i'll make you pay first. so, Go onion, Make em pay, cry.....

OF MUEMA KATAVI
so we have killed dictator no 1 in Africa. yaay. this victory has left a bitter taste in my mouth and the hollow feeling that we could have carried this out in a different way. first some things Libyans enjoyed under his rule
1. Electricity & water free for residential units
2. 1 liter of petrol 0.08 EURO
3. NO TAX , DEBT FREE
4. students studying abroad receive a salary of 1627 Euro
5. each one of those students gets salary till he finds a job
6. each Libyan family gets 300 Euro monthly as long as they are registered
7. when a Libyan gets married, he receives a land to help him out approx. 150 Sq.M
And apparently this dictator helped alot of African countries into freedom. true he did take over their affairs after a while and true he was a despicable man who rather enjoyed killing people but the manner of his death was appaling. i watched a you tube clip and i couldnt help but think that this was nothing to celebrate about. his death was a win yes but the method was shameful. kill him, torture him yes but dont kill him like a dog(i wouldnt do that to my own dog). the guy was an egotistical maniac(the self given title king of kings in africa was proof enough) still doesnt mean we do that to all egoistics we know(and i know plenty!). i just think they should have gone differently with this or atleast not show a live footage of that horror. no matter what a person did, killing them does not bring back the dead or correct the injustices he did.but i sincerely hope that the Libyans can now heal as they have gotten rid of their biggest headache.

THE WORLD IS WAITING
Its your chance. Unleash your potential Blah blah blah the world is waiting. Just reach out and grab.... STOP IT!
Its no use trying to reason with the voices in my head and those out of it. Of course i know the world is out there. I know i shouldn't let chances slip past my fingers.
Alladin probably told Jasmine when she got on the carpet, 'get ready for the ride of your life', well just before he told her, 'hold on tightly'. I don't know if Alladin meant ride of your life literally as just a magic carpet ride which is also a ride of your life(i mean, how many times do you get to ride a magic carpet???).

Jasmine was brave to take a chance. the carpet was something she'd never used before and i wouldn't have blamed her for balking out.(its a flying cloth for God's sake!!).But that's how we pass awesome(I don't believe i used that word) chances. If Jasmine had not joined Alladin and(what was that monkey called again?? Harun???), she would have missed out on a chance at a love so great that 2000 years later we still talk about and on the adventure of a lifetime(make that 1000 lifetimes because I don't know anyone alive who can claim having been on a magic carpet. not even Harry Potter).
I love my life but i can honestly say that it sucks. i can never pull a Jasmine because im a coward, hence the name of the blog. But this doesnt mean that I dont hope. hope that Alladin will come on his carpet(minus Jasmine ofcourse) and take me for the ride of my life, literally.I only hope i will have the courage to stretch out my arm and say, 'Im ready. Lets go'

the episode part 1
"I dont know what incenced me more. the blase attitude he exuded or the apologetic smile she was giving me!" I mutter. Toni stares at me in shock. in the three years we had known each other, she'd never seen me lose my temper over anything. My friend Lola and I had a falling out and Toni was trying to play Koffi Anan and it wasnt working. A giggle escapes from Rachael who is seated at the corner of the room trying to appear incospicous but it is kinda hard with her bursting into fits of laughter and incessant giggling just when i launch into more of my sorry tale.
"Lola is such a witch!" Toni exclaims, "and here i was beginning to like her."(more giggling from Rachael-that brat!) I nod trying to look woebegone but i neednt bother, Toni is firmly in camp Diana(thats me).
Ok, I know im a b**ch of the highest caliber but i did tell Lola that I liked him first and she encouraged me to talk to him. well I guess she didnt have to talk for him to notice her. while im a pitiful 34B, Lola is a proud 38D and boy does she flaunt it! Dolly Parton would have esteem issues if she met her, so who am I? ok so, cute guy and I bonded and became friends. then he met Lola. I wasnt trying to hide him or anything considering we go to the same school but i did try to make sure they never met. Lola is like that with every guy. one look at her and they forget their name (guess what happens to mine). guess those babies will do that to you. I digressing, Lola had the b**ls to face me with the news that she was going out with the love of my life(I exaggerate but hey). he looked totaly unapologetic claiming that we were just friends and he was never interested in me(as if. idiot!). Toni is looking at me sympathetically as I finish the tale of why I need a new room mate as Lola is now persona non grata in my room.
