I was fortunate enough this week to have some time off between changing jobs.

Nice! Lots of time to lie around and get some serious sleep in. I got re-accustomed with the daytime television that other housewifes, like myself, gets to watch more freely. :)

One of my favourites to watch is that ‘Judge Julie’. Funny lady! Then there is ‘Dr. Phil’ whom apparently got kicked off the Oprah show for leaving his wife for a younger one. Did not know that! Then there is the usually overload of soapies: ‘Slaves to our wifes’, ‘Sewende traan’ and that one with the midget in it. Haha. Crazy!

Well almost as crazy as watching ‘Oprah’ every day. Man does she love saying: “We Loooove it” a lot (PS very important to emphesise the ‘loooove’). That’s of course said when a new product was just presented that comes out from a sponsor of her program, aka: backhand. And merraculously all the woman applaud and she gives them all a presie that’s under their seats. Almost like seals at a show… just with woman instead of seals… and iPods instead of fish. But the rest of the show is very much the same.

Oprah: “We loooove it!!!”

Seals: “Yeeeesss!” Clap, clap, clap….

Man, how much power must that woman not have by now? They flock to buy books/movie/clothing/accessories when she says those words.

 

Zim and them

April 10, 2008

I read an article on BBC the other day about the elections in Zimbabwe. People could publish their comments from all over the world. Some of the blogs came from Zim itself, from people who complain about the situation there and rightly so with that twat in charge. One of the comments was posted by a Brit who said that it is time Europe stopped apologizing about slavery and how they milked Africa back in the day and they must stop handing out money to the needy over here.

How right the man is. Europe, US, et al have been handing money to everyone in Africa and most of it’s been going down a bottomless pit. It’s time we start looking after ourselfs for a change and not allow some brother to come in and exchange his money for favours from us. We’ve been handing oil and diamonds to all of Europe and the rest and we’re left with nothing in the end.

I think everyone over here has become too accustomed to funding from the rich that they don’t know how to work for it anymore. You must be too busy working to want to fight. There must have been some studies done on this…

I think my views are shared by Annie Lennox when she went off about Africa not looking after itself before one of the 46664 concerts. Amen
