Sacarsm At Its Best : ''How to write about Africa''

I have never read any piece of writing that hit home with such unashamed sarcasm that was also funny and very true about most novels, articles and writing in general, that are about Africans .In a nutshell, this is a ''Dummies Guide To: How Not To Write About Africa''.

Champions' League QF draw


I was really praying we wouldnt get to play a typical big team during the draw and thankfully my prayers( of sorts) were answered. When I mean 'we' I mean Manchester Utd.





Below is the full list of how the draw unfolded.


first Quarter-finals .
Arsenal - Villareal


Second Quarter-finals

Manchester United - Fc Porto
[ Winner of this tie meets winner of first Quarter-finals]



Third Quarter-finals

Liverpool - Chelsea , again!


Fourth Quarter-finals
Fc Barcelona - Bayern Munchen

Man U's tie is going to be tricky; on the surface it looks like we got an easy pairing but with the likes of their influencial Argentine captain Lucho Gonzalez and the one they call ' The Hulk' it might just prove to be a very slippery away tie for us if we fail to win at home convincingly. Tomorrow's game against Fulham is going to be very important in terms of building our self-confidence after being pumelled to death by our sworn enemies Liverpool at home. GO REDS !

Video Of The Day : '' Watchmen '' - trailer

Here comes another on screen comic book adaptation but this time from the studios of Paramount , Warner Bros, Legendary pictures and DC Comics.

It is for this reason alone that I will make it a point to see this flick. From the gossip circulating the WWW it sounds like its going to be one hell of a movie; that is if you are into adaptations of comic books into movies.Or if you are into comic books at all. Or if you don't mind some big-shot Hollywood director murdering your favourite super hero characters on the big screen. Last year, the phenomenally successful Dark knight set a very high bench mark and this undoubtedly means the viewing audience is going to settle for nothing less than that. That would take some doing though(Watchmen out grossing the Dark Knight). But Some say they are two different movies and shouldn't be put into the same category. Its still about a bunch of super heroes and heroins dressed up in psychedelically-coloured, suffocating spandex costumes.

Director Zach Snyder who brought us 300 with the backing of Legendary pictures is in charge of this one as well. I loved 300 especially the part where one of the elders of the council was consulting the 'Oracle'. Since when did Oracles become this hot. She been giving dude a huge boner every time I watch it, even after watching the movie over four times. Anyway back to movie at hand. Watching the trailer, you notice that Zach again employed a couple of the techniques he uses in 300. The special effects am is outstanding no two ways about it... but the main thing movie aficionados are worried about is the ending. Too many movies have thrived on the popularity of brilliantly edited trailers only to be 90 minutes cinematic flops.

Hope for Mr. Snyder's sake this movie goes down well with audiences ( call it artistic solidarity or just old fashion well wishing.)

Man Leggings? Ouch


I cringed when I first read the headline stating the horrifying fate for the male genitalia, in a sense .

I know there is a certain androgynous quality to our MTV generation. More unisex everything, unisex clothes, unisex shades unisex condoms [ sort of :-) ]. The macho most men is being replaced and eviscerated by the feminine. We all know that most male designers are either gay or bisexual but tend to have a higher affinity towards the other sex more than they have for their own balls. For those of us whose very reason for living lies in between our thighs wearing nut vices isn't our idea of a good night out. There is no way on God's fucking planet i or any guy in his right senses would be caught dead wearing one of these,errr meggings( Credit Jonathan Heaf of the Guardian.co.uk with this one ).This style is waaayyy too rock and roll for me; I bet even some rockers will find these sort of pants too left field for their taste. They'll prefer to stick to their groupies and do lines from here to the moon before wearing one of these. For me , I'll just stick to the music... My liberal tendencies don't stretch that far, sorry.( pun intended ).

Before I get some hate mail, let me make this clear, this isnt a queer bashing blog so chill.

First Studio Experience

I had an absolute blast yesterday deep within the bellies of the pyramid house on the Osu re road and deeper still into the studios of VIBE fm.

It was a super cool experience for me although for some reason, on the spur of the moment, i chose to remain anonymous, should i have gone on air. Meeting Que? for the first time was very interesting indeed. This guy is a walking music reference book on any and everything music. My mind was doing laps just trying to keep up with this man. Absolute genius; you think you know your shit until you meet someone who makes you feel as though you're now beginning your music education.

-- Que? if you are reading this how the hell do you keep up with this stuff; the people you know the books, the writing, djing and to add to all the above juggling a day job as well?. --

The evening proved to be a very pleasing one and less tense than i had anticipated. We talked about everything. Music, music celebs , places he's djed at. Another discovery, Que? happens to be a big Prince fan and not so much Michael Jackson; not surprising. Am yet to meet someone who is a fan of both superstars. Mostly the geeks for the Prince ( aka the man who once named himself after a sign) and the popsters lean towards wacko jacko.Alas, i didn't get to play the tracks i took along, due to some smaalll technical hitches.Am back in two weeks time to the show and hopefully by then i can make the playlist available to the show.

I had a great time and it was an honour and a great pleasure to meet you Que?

Learning Deutch




As of today I have enrolled in a German language study course at Livemocha.com
.

This is a well-designed and thought out site with a very intuitive feel to it .If your wish is to learn a new language and meet friends, and share language learning tips amongst others,then this is the place. This is my first day over there and am already waxing lyrical about the site.

Its Italian and Spanish languages next after I complete this course. So until then its your junge (boy) saying :'Ich bin ein reich alt mann '; which literally means ' I am a rich old man' :-) [ my vocabs are a bit limited at the moment] . Learning a new language is proving to be more exciting than i thought .
