Pupil stabbed in a fight over a girl

In a classic case of ogling gone wrong, a pupil from Nairobi was stabbed and killed two days ago after he had been accused of eyeing another guy's girlfriend. The sad thing about this is, the deceased was just a kid of 16 years! He wasn't even having an affair with the said girlfriend - just appreciating beauty and he gets killed for it.

It's nothing new hearing about school boys fighting. They always have one reason or another. I mean we know we are God's gift to man, but never did we think that guys would actually fight over a girl. Fighting over someone is just so classic of woman behaviour but boys? Didn't think so.

So boys fighting isn't the issue here, we've already established that there is nothing odd there. But to go as far as stabbing another human being? What was the other boy even doing with a knife at school? And his jealousy was strong enough to kill a fellow student just because he was LOOKING at his girlfriend? Apparently this unfortunate kid who lost his life isn't the only one who suffered at the hands of the jealous boyfriend. His two friends are actually in hospital now, as they had tried to intervene on their friend's behalf.

And where is the child killer now? Nobody knows. He is in hiding. Where is the world coming to if minors are displaying such behaviour?

Weeding the Contact List

I have gotten to that point where I realize that there are people in my life who do not really add value to it. For real, I am thinking if we know each other, then if I think of you, something should at least come to mind - be it laughter, warmth, love, dollars :). But if I can't think of anything to associate you with, then I shouldn't even have to think about you.

And how do I not think about such valueless people? Lol, do not think me callous just yet, having no value to me does not mean they are not valuable. They are, just not to me. Anyways, back to my question, how do I deal with these people? I weed them out of my contact list!

I just love that chore. I don't know if I should call it a chore though because I enjoy it. It's like deleting someone out of your life you know. You must be wondering why I should be feeling satisfied about myself when I say that. Well here is the thing ladies, one becomes less and less valuable to you because of a host of reasons. Could be because you had a fight you couldn't resolve, they just started annoying you, for no reason you do not like them anymore... the list is endless.

So I have this ritual. Occasionally, I go through my contact list - its usually one of those times you're either just bored and haven't got anything to do and noone interesting is on app, or someone annoyed me insane. Anyway, so I go through my contacts and unmercifully delete all those "useless" people, lol.

This is just half the satisfaction mind you. The 100% joy comes when they decide to call or app and I have no idea who they are and I'm like "I'm sorry who is this?". Lol, if they thought we were close and this is the last thing they ever wanted to hear, then that irritation is what just makes my day!

Lol, yeah, I'm mean like that - sometimes. But we all have a mean streak don't we? I just happened to tell you mine. So don't judge me.

Simuka Comedy for the first time ever goes on television!!!

Simuka Comedy has never been wilder in its endeavors as it is doing now. This April it comes together with ZimComedyLive to form the first ever Comedy Banger to be filmed for television. Kinda reminds one of Voltron or Transformers ey? Yeah! 

Putting up the biggest lineup of Zimbabwean comedians ever, what could go wrong with Carl Joshua Ncube, Michael K, Doc Vikela and Simba The Comic King on the same stage. Fireworks are a definite guarantee people!!! The big guns are then to be joined by a new crop of comedians on the night from all over the country! I mean the Comedy Banger couldn't be more truly Zimbabwean even if it tried!

This show is one not to be missed at all. Even our local celebrities are super excited about it because most of them are not going to be anywhere else that night. So Simuka is not just going on TV this April, nor is it just promising an explosive comedy night. But it is giving a guarantee of a great show and to those who have never had a run in with the local public figures; the 10^th of April is the night to be at Simuka this April!!!

The Comedy Banger show will be at the Book Café, on the 10^th of April, starting at 8pm sharp. Admission is $5.

PS Do not miss what could potentially be the next big Zimba show!!!

Black former BP executive says she was fired because of her ethnic style

Last year early December, a BP executive got fired for wearing ethnic clothing and hairstyles to work. And the excuse she was given was that she wasn’t getting along with her workmates and the like. Funny thing was, throughout the year, she had received excellent reviews. So she, Melphine Evans claimed that it couldn’t be anything else except her ethnic style at work.

So maybe wearing her ethnic clothing was going overboard a little. I mean otherwise, if everyone decided to wear their cultural clothing to work, circus wouldn’t even begin to describe that scenario! But hairstyle!!!??? Now that’s just pushing it!

Apparently her company did not appreciate her natural hairstyles, namely the cornrows and twists. Ah! Now hold it right there! This woman is black! Ethnic hair is part of who she is. And it only makes sense to have styles that suit your hair type! So now it’s a sin to have ethnic natural hair!!!???

She was told her style intimidates her co-workers and that she should only wear it on culture day or during the black history month. Handle!!! In this 21^st century people still have the gall to say such things? I know we Black people are super sensitive about these things and had a black person said this to Melphine, she probably would have laughed it off. But if you are getting fired for it you don’t laugh it off ey. You go straight to the courts! And that’s where Melphine headed to without even a backward glance!

They could have said her dressing isn’t professional or whatever, but in an extremely polite and race sensitive manner! Not to go all “your dressing is intimidating and should be left for culture day and black history month”, ah! No way!!!

Friends

Friends make the world go round don’t they? Girlfriends especially. They are the ones you plan, plot and scheme with. If it’s a boy you like, they’ll help you make sure he notices you. Although sometimes even with the best of intentions you end up being seriously embarrassed.

So what to love about them? Well, if they are your real friends, you know they have your back no matter what. So this means if it’s about being unanimously mean to some girl who thinks she can mess with you, then your girls are your people! If it means an emergency styling session for that HOTT date, then your girls can be depended on to deliver!

But you just have to hate the gossiping!! I mean, I love gossiping, I so will not deny it. It’s like every time we get together with my girls, there just has to be a whole list of people that needs talking about. And when I say talking about I don’t mean just a brush over. Oh no! It’ll be a thorough talk about session. Maybe we should start our own The Talk. It’ll totally give us the excuse we need to talk about people inside and out, getting into their business and everything without even feeling the least bit guilty eh? Lol.

And then there are the boy friends. Well these are my fav! Very little gossiping, lots of spoiling and they can be depended on for muscle, lol. Ever gone out, and there was this horrible looking guy giving you unwanted attention? And it seems the harder you push him away, the more encouraged he gets? Well, if you are with the boys, all they need to do is say a word or two, and you are all clear! I love that!

You gotta hate it though when one of you ends up friendzoning the other. Aaaargh, that’s just nasty! If it’s you doing the friendzoning, it’ll probably be either sad or funny, depending on how you take it. But if it’s you being friendzoned! Nothing is more frustrating! You won’t stop being friends with him because you like him, but being friends with him means this continued unfair relationship. Oh things can be hard for sure.

But friends are friends ey. Even when they are at their most irritating and annoying. They are almost like family, and you just gotta love and hate of course, sometimes though. J.

Am I the only one who crushes for radio djs???

When I listen to the radio, it’s not just the music I’m interested in you know. It’s much more than that. It’s the programs, the conversations, the stories, and most importantly of course, the VOICES!!!

I’m a girl, so obviously I’m talking about the guy djs eh. Don’t you find it interesting how you can draw a picture in your head of what the dj must look like based on his voice and accent? And it’s so frustrating how you can’t see to confirm if the picture you have is at least closer home.

So it doesn’t make sense to have a crush on someone you don’t know now does it??? More so, someone who doesn’t even know you exist!!! But does that stop me from falling for more than my fair share of djs? HELL TO THE NO! Why? Because I can’t help it!!!

When was the last time you listened to the radio yourself? If you listen to it often then no doubt you have your favourite programs. Why? Because your fav djs present them. Now Why would you have a fav dj when you don’t even know what they look like? BECAUSE THEY HAVE GREAT VOICES AND ACCENTS!!!

I remember when I visited my aunt and uncle in S.A late last year; I just could not get off the radio! There’s this particular station which was like a treasure cave of djs with awesome voices and accents! My holiday couldn’t have been better! I fell in love!!!

How could I not when I had guys with to die for voices talking to me on radio. Yes! To me!!! I mean, who else could they have been talking to if not me? Huh? Lol, don’t worry; I’m no crazy obsessed stalker. Just a girl who loooves good radio.

Totally hope those guys look as good as their voices sound eh?:)
