Its in the Bible: Men should make Cofffee for the Mrs! ....

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee. The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee." Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee." Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me." So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says . "HEBREWS"... lolest

I want an Octopus....

Paul the Octopus Does It Again!

Now that i know that famous Paul the Octopus, can correctly predict such serious matters as future World Soccer World Champions, I want my own Octopus!! 

I want my own Paul to predict for me serious issues that affect my life correctly. I want my Paul to predict when i am destined to be a millionaire, if my lovely wife Fifi will ever stop loving me and what i should do to prevent her from bolting if she decides to and those nitty gritty matters that i ponder day and night!

If Paul would tell me who would win the Kenyan Constitution referendum scheduled for August 4, 2010, i would pick up the phone and gladly call the predicted winners with the great news! But knowing Kenyans, the loosing side will have their own corrupted 'Paul' to predict that the winning sides 'Paul' has been bought by their political enemies bent on derailing the wishes of Kenyans!

The 2010 World Cup is over and what a month that was! Riveting soccer, tense moments, vuvuzela passion! South Africa indeed has done Africa proud amid all the negative publicity that ruled the European headlines before the festival begun, all predicting how a failure and total flop the South African soccer festival would end up being! Fifi, based in the Czech Republic espied me a Czech Sports headline that to my utter shock, basically downsized South Africa's ability to host the biggest festival in the World, based on a violent incident that happened years ago and in some remote part of i think the Kalahari desert!!! (sic!). And yes, the naysayers have been put to shame, the prophets of doom completely dispatched to their dark dens, tails between their legs and Africa left to shine and revel in the glory of a World Cup richly hosted!

My congratulations go out to Spain, the new soccer World Champions, who beat the odds and lifted that coveted World Cup solid gold trophy that only your President has the honor to touch when it visits your country at any time.... (wow)! The Dutch with all their Rugby tactics, and all the yellow cards that celebrity referee Howard Webb dished out during the match couldn't stop Spain's 26 year old Andrés Iniesta fire that 116th minute goal past a stunned Netherlands goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg. (And yes, a European Club, Barcelona FC had downed and might country Netherlands! lol)

My biggest disppointments were ofcourse Ghana's Asamouh Gyan's 90th minute penalty miss against the resilient Uruguay during their memorable and rivetting quarterfinal match. Africa watched with batted breathe, and that second that looked like an hour passed in a flash.... Standing at the threshold of an African feat was Gyan, a second and a crossbar! The crossbar carried the day! Then Nigeria's Yakubu....ah! Lord have mercy....

South Africa's World Cup hosting success has covereted the overall dismal performane sins of the African teams at the bonanza and yes Africa won the World Cup, in its own beautiful way! (Now i hear there eyes are set on hosting an Olympics and hey, why not!). The Sauz fans were loyal to the end despite their teams early exist from the festival, their security matched world class standards, their vuvuzela's roared the world over and Brazil better put a better show in 2014!

Ghana Lets Down Africa.....

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?? 

I woke up this morning depressed and wondering how Ghana, Africa's last remaining hope at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, failed to finally nail that Uruguay coffin once and for all!!

Despite holding their own for 120 minutes, The Black Stars were unable to match the South Americans from the penalty spot, going down 4-2 in a penalty shootout after the score stayed locked at 1-1 following extra time.

700 million plus people on this Continent held their breathe at the 90th minute when 'The Hand of God' swung Ghana's way and were awarded, nope, actually handed a penalty.... And what did we do? Asamouh Gyan fires the bloody jabulani to i dont know what direction, hitting the top bar with power and earning untold curses in every imaginaginable ethnic lanuguage all across Africa... nnkktt (font 1 billion is the politest i can come to on this blog!... but not that i didnt let out my curses then....)

Fast forward Extra Time and Ghana manages to tame a menacing Uruguay who were intermittently going for the jugular and failing by a whisker. From President John Atta Miles, wherever he caught the game from, to Madiba himself uniting South Africans and Africa for Ghana, to even South Africa's World Cup organisers abandoning any pretense of neutrality when it came to the team, and FIFA gods led by Sepp Blatter in the flesh, sitting in the VVIP boxes at the stadium to witness history in the making, the Whole literally standing still to the attention of this Ghanaian feat! 120 minutes and onto penalties, and i tweeted my wife in the Czech Republic and i was certain i must her told her baby, we are through! I could smell it, it could feel it, i could see it!.....

But Ghana didnt see what we were all seeing, experiencing, feeling....

John Mensah and Dominique Adiyah, in their casual dont care attitudes, thinking this was some Africa Cup of Nations tourney, uncreatively kick the most *^%&(#&@(# spot kicks i have ever seen in m entire life.... and the rest is history.... We were this close, thiiis close.....What did we miss to see in these opportunities Ghana....Oh Ghanaaaaaaa! What did we miss to see........
