Another Monday Is Here II.....

Thanks to work and twitter, I have been awol on my own blog (frowning face). But I'm sure you all know that you can't keep a good man down.

With that being said, last week or so one of the airlines out here proudly announced that in a bid to give better service that they are going to start charging for meals in economy class. Anyone who has the agony of flying local in the States will tell you how dealing with the airlines is like dealing with a bunch of schysters. You get charged for your luggage, you get charged to change your ticket if anything happens, you get charged for blankets, you get charged for earphones; with some of them you even get charged for using your credit card to pay for stuff. I guess the only "free" thing you get is your seat. Lets not forget that you have to be at the airport around 2 hours early for security check. I won't even start about people being held hostage in planes on the runway. Yes that is the fun of flying in the new decade of the new millennium.

Anyway that anti-capitalism rant aside, I read this story and just gave myself a face palm! Really! I mean you break down not one but two doors just to get into someone else's bed?! Also I think once you are over 30 (and Im being generous), you have no business going for a Jay-Z concert unless you are taking your nephew or niece, heck even Jay Z himself has no business performing nowadays to be honest!

Does anyone know where these Finger of God characters are? My last week moved by really slowly without their drama. I'm going through withdrawal symptoms! Now I know how women feel when they miss their Mexican soap operas.

Well it's about time for me to clock off from jobo but I wanted to share this video by Nneka, whose music I started listening to. I think it's more than possible to make music with deep lyrics yet listenable to at the same time...




Have a nice day all!

Dude, you're bothered about his age? I'm more bothered about his NAME! Michael Kamau! Such Kenyans give us a bad name abroad. Another question, of what significance is it that he's a Jay Z fan? Would the story have been published the same way had he been, say...a Dolly Parton fan? I think that's a case of bad reporting.

@ Archer
Ooooops forgot to mention that in the post as I had mentioned it in twitter, damn twitter!!!!!!!!
Well I think they are tying the fact that he was at a Jay Z concert before breaking into the house. But yeah a better headline could have been written. Lets hope Kamau has a good lawyer....

Hey Aco... I was surprised when I was told mum your luggage will cost you $25. I looked at the woman you kidding right... I guess thats how they make extra cash.
