So I notice it's been almost a year since I last blogged, what can I say the stresses of modern life or should that be the things we do to keep up with the rat race. So what have I missed? The credit crunch for one, or most of it anyway - hoping against hope that this is the tail end of it. I've had friends who've lost jobs but got new ones, friends who've lost their jobs and still not got one (God knows how they've survived this long, but I pray He continues to keep them). It's been a year of going through anger management.. lol!! I tell you trying not to rant I've found out doesn't work .. at least for me, but just as well I didn't pay out loads to a psychologist or anger management consultant. I find myself spitting fire at anyone and everyone, be it women drivers (yes I'm one but the difference between me and most is I drive like a man - put it down to starting early... always the key) who don't know anything about the right of way, trafficating, keeping out of the fast lane, NOT forcing their way into a lane and more importantly insist on keeping in my damn way and aren't quick enough to react when I flash them to get out the bloody way (tail-gating is a sin people and a big no-no). Old people (aka the grey brigade) at the wheel, that's a story for another day they are the worst offenders just trucking on down at 20 mph 'driving Miss Daisy' style. I had an incident with one on Christmas eve, my right of way at the round-about and she drives right into me with her Hyundai - needless to say her car was a right-off lol! That's what you get for driving a German tank as my colleagues say... (p.s it's only a VW Passat, but till that day I didn't realise those cars were solidly built). Anyway I came out yelling- naija stylee... (even I have to laugh now when I think about it.. picture this, straight from the nail salon so I was in slippers (couldn't afford to smudge those hot toes), rolled up jeans and a hoodie), then Miss Bond seriously that's her name stepped out and I calmed down - after all she could have been my mum (older though) and we settled things woman to woman - insurance papers drawn. Of course to spoil the works some dumb oyingbo man rolls up saying he'll be a witness.. for the old lady of course and that I ... e mi was driving to fast.... me keh? Who drives slow at a roundabout anyway, especially when the sign above you says 'national speed limit applies' and this is a dual carriage-way. Long story short, Insurance pays me.. so it's all good but the damn woman killed my 5 years No-claim. I could go on.. the boy racers...lol!! I always seem to surprise them... wait till I roll up in my DB9 boys. Just you wait.
The world of politics, I guess we've all heard about the next dumb female politician? Ladies and gents give it up for Jacquie Smith. How the hell does your husband pass off porn as expenses and you sign off on it? Someone please tell me. This is the same woman who lives in a room in her sister's house and claims it as second home. Pray tell, when did a room become a house? Yes o in naija that may be.. after all those who live in face-me-I-face-you would ask you that you visit them in their 'house' and not room... never room. And they say Naijas are corrupt. I tell you we learnt ALL we needed from the oyingbos - that's right, every crooked way, from grease my palm, to fighting over home furnishings (aka the John Lewis list in the UK), to corrupt politicians, everything comes from the Brits to be sure. Like father like children they say.. we are their kids and we learnt WELL. Moral of the story is 'those who live in glass houses should not throw stones'.
I've got more to unburden but alas as the saying goes 'there's a time for everything, a time to take the crap and a time to lash out'. So I'm keeping my trap shut. Ooh the wine is getting to me now, gave it up for lent and I'm back on with a vengeance... here's to you good folks and a enjoy the rest of 2009.

Why o why are there such idiots in this world?
That's right? Why are there such twats!! Although it works ways, the idiots and the other idiots... you know who I'm talking about....the conmen aka 419ers and the conned! There are rules for a reason, and if you think that for some strange reason you are 'special' and therefore those rules will be bended for you, then... you deserve what you get! The new one is the football scam. for the video link and for the story. Apparently Naijas are again at it... scamming kids as young as 12 who want to play for a premier club - your mouths like Premier... how about playing for your country and excelling FIRST! Afterall Kanu and co went down that root... but nooo you feel that you got that magic touch... well I have news for you... so does every Tom, Dick and Harry! To get to the top means you'll need to work hard and by God's grace you'll achieve your goal. Rome was never built in a day! Greed is what gets you all into trouble... you think you can rake in 1£1milla a week like that? Think again mate!
Now onto the scammers, you lot should be ashamed of yourselves. These are people's dreams and aspirations you are messing with... have a heart! Yes you've shown ingenuity in spotting a hole in the system and are milking it for all you got, but have you ever thought what you'd do if a member of your family (not involved in your trade) got scammed as well? Would you laugh or would you cry? What would you do if they go taken for ALL that they had... you make people borrow from family, neighbours, friends, banks, anyone just to meet your insane demands! Yes, you're meeting a need (mostly your need) and benefitting from people's greed but remember everyday is for the thief and ONE day is for the owner of the house! Let's cut to the chase... get a life! If you spent all the time you did thinking how to make a success of a genuine business, rather than scamming people, you'd be very successful and probably wealthy business men and women! Afterall your strength is that you can identify a need... so why not make a positive out of it by identifying a businesss/market need and catering to that need. It can't be that hard... if you used the money you spent at the business centre or servicing your zillion laptops/pcs on your business plan, you'd be raking it in LEGALLY by now! A word is enough for the wise... unless of course Kirikiri (a maximum security prison in Lagos, Nigeria) sounds like your idea of a fun spot to cool your heels!
And when is this government going to stop being condescending.... well more like racist to me! Imagine o... they are now searching for black role models for black youths... they say to stop the knife crime. Err if I remember clearly it's not just black kids who are killing themselves... it's white ones too... and don't they need more help seeing as they're usually OLDER!! Except of course Rhys Jones (God rest his soul). Anyway my point is we need role models ACROSS the cultures, not just black... you got that Hazel Blears! The one just keeps putting her foot in it each and EVERY time! In her words 'Too few black men and boys are achieving their full potential and the consequences of that are being seen socially and economically'! Ehn!! Is that so? All that white thrash living off benefits nko?? Abi no be my taxes dey pay for them and all they do is 'breed' like rabbits! Bianca on Eastenders is a typical example... she has 3 kids of her own, 1 who is 'mixed' and a fourth who is the kid of her jail-ass boyfie! Talk about bloody double standards!! There are far less black people on benefits than white! Yes, maybe quite a few live on council estates and those unsightly high-rise blocks, but still far less than the whites! So if you want to launch role models, then do so for ALL youth and not just black ones!! But then again this is what happens when you are 'given' a post just because you're a woman... not that am sure she is actually one... she doesn't THINK like one for sure!! Arrggh the woman just makes my blood boil! Moving on swiftly before I punch a hole on my keyboard....
Anyhoo, time to get some soul music into my system... Quincy Delight Jones Jnr. aka 'Q' has just been honoured by BET with a Humanitarian Award. Go Quincy... more grease jare. We need more people like you in this world, people who want to promote World Peace in the literal sense of the word (not the miss Universe or is it Miss World... 'I want world peace'. Ride on bro.
