hard talk babe!

yes Pal,
i need some real talk!
Ayi Kwei Armah long a go wrote that The Beautyful Once Are Not Yet Born!!! so who are the pretenders who are acting like they are beauty-ful?

last time before the sun went down the presidential candidate of the opposition NPP, Nana Addo described as bull-shit the allegations of drugs (cocaine, wee, etc!) against him!!! Yeah! and i thought that was good for some hard talk while i leave him to deal with the veracity of his claim. but good language pal. good!!!
Then, just yesterday, not long after the same sun came up, the vice president John Mahama who is rather popular for his 'diplomacy' which i find useless came out rather hard on the opposition to a govt proposal to make it possible to use Ghana 'oil' as collateral for developmental loans. he used the words 'baloney', 'foolish' and asked 'what the hell?'. yeah pal!!! beautiful language!!! nice! this is the kind of language we should be using and not be pretending to be nice to anyone!!!

if something is foolish we must call it foolish. if something is bull shit we must call it bull shit!!! even if we think (mere thought) that some thing is nonsense it must be said so while proving that claim to be right or otherwise conceding that you were rather foolish in making a wrong judgment should be treated as a separate dynamic!!!

i've grown up seeing all the pretense around me in the name of being nice, courteous, bla bla bla and i just feel enough is enough!!! the beauty-ful once are not yet born after all. we have so much filth around our white-washed houses!!! theres are too many pot-holes and man-holes on the roads we drive all these plush 4-wheels!!! indeed, those who claim all kinds of positions in the name of the people, every now and then go eating fat dishes and drinking volumes of wine and laugh kwa kwa kwa!!! all in the name of the people while the people themselves are left with no places to even defaecate the little waste they produce in their stomach from their stone-sweats!!!

off my chest! sigh!
Yes, bull shit indeed pal, give me some real hard talk!!!

reflections

so
these melons
would yield
to the pull of SunDown;
give up the succulence
and leave me with only a distant sense of the touch...
the feel...
so too these sprouts!
these flowers...
these petals would wilt
this beauty would be gone into the the fading sun!



(on the eve of Eid al-Adha, Monday, November 15, 2010)

Asamoah Gyan, don't run away from yourself!

Pal dearest,
Please tell Asamoah to relax and not overrate himself!!!
i love Asamoah Gyan!!! I'm one of those who argued in his favour when a lot of Ghanaians spat in his face and claimed he was useless especially during the 2008 CAF tournament in Ghana when he even threatened to quit the Black Stars!

I would always defend the respectable record of Asamoah Gyan but before God and man and before God and woman, Asamoah Gyan should not claim he deserves to win of the CAF footballer of the year given the people he's competing against, chiefly among whom is the ever mighty Eto'o Fils!!! OMG! did i hear Asamoah say even though Eto'o is a legend he Gyan deserves it this time??????????????? is he serious or he just wants to be recognized for the sake of it!!!

I don't even agree with Asamoah being on the Fifa Balon d' Or shortlist. Gyan couldn't be ahead of Milito of Inter or Lucio of same Inter who all won the Champions league!!! even Eto'o of the same Inter deserves to be ahead of Gyan on that shortlist! just a cursory look at the performance of Eto' against that of Asamoah Gyan would show that Asamoah is no where near what Eto' has achieved!!!

and i'm sending a strong word of caution to CAF not to rob us of Justice again this time round as happened in 2006 when Drogba was deceitfully given the accolade in a year that he did not compare to Eto at all!!!

Amina the different hoax?

pal,
just give me a hoax and i'd love you more!!! but...wait!
let me roll time back to my secondary school days. it was lights-out one night while we retired to our dormitories. Ghost...ghost...ghost!!! someone had seen a ghost in all it's scary-majesty and the developing limbs of colleagues could not carry them faster enough! the ghost was described to be in an all white apparel. the following morning whispers went round about who pulled that prank.

Then there was this special night that i'm sure none of my classmates would ever forget! Prep time! it was so quiet that a pin-drop could be heard a mile away. i don't recall exactly what i was doing but there was some movement ahead of me and before i could raise my head albeit 'involuntarily' but inquisitively to see what; almost everyone in our class started scuttling!!! and like a ripple, as if some energy was being transmitted from class to class, all the other students run out of their classrooms as if they had to make the last dash for their lives!!! and there was this particular guy who perhaps had watched too much 'captain planet' and couldn't wait for his turn to go through the door and so chose to take a dive through the window! the resultant dive that crashed the glass blades made us discover a Hero! he was the bravest of all and instantly made the headlines! It was a sudden pandemonium! and we were later to find that what had tickled us all into such scatter was a simple attempt to get rid of a fly that had entered my classmate's shirt! and he too become a hero!!!

Pal, you see, i just love hoaxes and i could tell you of more! hoaxes just excite me in a manner that i believe even God's gift of Sex cannot!!!
indeed, the recent prank of an earthquake alert on almost all Ghanaians is one i consider to be up there!!! for me that would remain one of the beautiful times in my life!!! silly??? no-Sir-Madam!!! i consider it beautiful because it serves as a warning to us all not to take life for granted and that we need to be alert in the face of the unknown! and for me few things in this world provide such a jolt of awareness!!! and so i'm against the registration of phone sim cards again and again as i protested the last time!!!

so it came to past and we have this Amina story of a 'forced orgy'!!! Pal an orgy party i guess should be a rather enthralling experience!!! but to be forced at gun point to marshal an erection under such a circumstance when blood-flow would have been certainly directed away from my 'kakai', something the adults made me fear when i was a kid with such a name is rather too far to fetch!!! No-Sir-Madam!!! not even a hundred likes of Beyounce whom i've been only day-dreaming of would cause such a devastating spark to my libido under such duress (the condom is durex!) let alone my targeted victim being my own daughter!!! what-a-matter!!!

So this Amina story for me is just another of the hoax riding on some factual occurrence of a feared attempted robbery!!! However, i'm not getting the excitement i get from such hoaxes in this case!!! i feel rather numb about the whole episode!!! and so i'm wondering... have I now met that kind of hoax that does not excite? if so what's the difference really? i just don't seem to get the difference pal! i just don't!
