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.
