The meaning of Life...

I have been trying to figure out what life means, despite the fact that it is defined as a characteristic of organisms that exhibit certain biological processes such as chemical reactions or other events that results in a transformation.

Life is full of the good and the bad, from one being happy and the other searching for happiness, while others are feeling lonely, sad, empty even though the might be having "a thing" that makes the world go round, money. I was once told that if I truly want to be happy I should carve my path to happiness and joy by knowing God. Well, I grew up going to church, both my brother and sister studied Theology but all I have gathered is that I went to church regularly not to know God but to be counted amongst those that do attend church service and to also to follow my parent's wishes. I do not regret going to church, I met a lot of people through going to church. That still does not give a meaning to life. Most of the time I do feel that life is quintessential of high school environment. When you are with your parents, you still get to be controlled, when you are with other elders the same thing happens, even at work, in a relationship (any kind of a relationship).

Does life means being controlled by your superiors or one serving his or her purpose on this earth?

I am still puzzled...

A pure STAR...

I always say there are stars and there are followers. Jennifer Hudson is a STAR, no one can dispute that.

If you do not believe me check out her video, rather her performance at the 2009 Grammy. Outstanding performance.

Why the hell is Julius Malema the ANCYL president?

I am now beginning to believe Mangosuthu Buthelezi when he said Julius Malema is a spoilt brat who does not know when to keep his mouth shut or when to comment. The young man is busy dragging his name in the mud. He was the one who said in public that Thabo Mbeki should leave the presidency, he then said he will kill for zuma, the list is endless. Later, he attacked the IFP, actually Buthelezi. Now, this one takes the cake, he recently aggressed Minister of Education, Naledi Pandor. This is what he had to say:

In a copy of the letter addressed to Pandor, the African National Congress Youth League leader said on Thursday: "I acknowledge that the remarks I made against you were uncalled for and might have disappointed and hurt you.

"I write this letter to unconditionally apologise for those remarks."

For how long will the so called youth of South Africa let him disrespect people like this. I think someone should announce in public that he needs to go. I am tired of him.

For how long will the ANC excuse the utterance of this young man?

Ek is alweer at it...

What will the world be like if we were immortal?

A must read book...

I went to Cavendish Square with a friend on Saturday, the 31st of Jan and I decided to step into a book shop (Exclusive books) to scout for something interesting to read. I bumped into a very interesting yet expensive book. The name of the book is Hungochani: The History of a Dissident Sexuality in South Africa. By Marc Epprecht.

Apparently, "hungochani" is a Shona word for m2m (man to man) sex and the author argues that m2m is not a European thing that's why it has these indigenous names unlike bread called "borotho" from the Afrikaans word "brood".

Homosexuality - or hungochani as it is known in Zimbabwe - has been denounced by many politicians and church leaders as an example of how Western decadence has corrupted African traditions. However, a bold new gay rights movement has emerged in several of the countries of the region since the 1980s, offering an exciting new dimension in the broad struggle for human rights and democracy unfolding on the continent.

I read bits and pieces of the book and from the fact that it captured my attention, I must have it, I want it badly. If you do have a copy, pass it over I beg.
