The weather forecast says it’ll rain all weekend! I know I was talking about liking the rain, but c’mon! This is not funny any longer, man… What is it, ten days or so of rain? Nine or ten people killed. Many, many people flooded out. OMG! Rain, rain, go away! And stay away for a [...]
I just finished reading Wilbur Smith’s “Cry Wolf”. It is a novel set in 1935 in Ethiopia. It is a story within the wider story of the Italians’ attempt to take over Ethiopia. Ethiopia’s army was much more poorly equipped and was outnumbered too, yet they managed to hold their own against the Italian [...]
Have you ever been talking about someone you’ve seen, trying to describe them to a friend, and you were racking your brain trying to find another person who you both knew, to say “She looks like her”, or “He looks like him”?
Well, there is this body type I like. You know! You have slim [...]
Do you dream in color? There seems to be this debate as to whether we do dream in color or not. Well, I just woke up from this long, long dream. As usual, I don’t remember much of it, but two things stand out in my mind.

More and more often we find ourselves decending into a state of chaos and disorder, and the Government seems POWERLESS OR INDIFFERENT to our plight. We have to be turning to the criminals themselves [...]
You know, I read in Time and Newsweek once that Coca Cola is the biggest contender in the soft drink market, with Pepsi second, and I was like “Why?”! I went to Kevin’s Blog and saw a poll there that shows results that seem more realistic to me! Passionate about your soda? If its Pepsi [...]
Natty and I went to see Spiderman last night. It was pretty good. Certainly it is the best movie of the superhero comic genre that I’ve seen. It far outstrips the X-Men, Superman and Batman…
