Are you American or a Dwarf?

Truth be told I am enjoying the world of blogging. I honestly do not know why I didn't start sooner. Apart from expressing my thoughts in the best way I know how, it is making me look at my environment a bit more. Now I always want to see what is happening around me , whether at home, or work, locally as a Ghanaian or internationally as an observer who is worried( kokonsa) so I can offer an opinion that is if any is needed. Grin! It might not be a revered opinion but I sure do look forward to filling up my space with these thoughts. These days who knows who is reading your thoughts. But errr if some CIA is reading this then Buei....mdfskkkkk. Ah conspiracy thoughts. I need to listen to Mr. Pratt soon. The man sure loves the CIA and what's that word again? Yep! Insurgents or is it spies?
And where are my manners by the way....hello and Goodevening! How are you? How was your day? I hope everything is alright or is it aight....haha( trying out my American slangs).

And yes speaking about America. Did you watch the presidential debates on Wednesday. If you didn't don't worry I am sure you have heard the reviews now. Yours truly...me stayed up to watch and till now I do not know how I went to work on Thursday. Sheesh! 1 am. Who sent me....errrrrm I do not know. But was it worth it? a big NO! My man dissappointed me bigggggg time. My man Barrack Obama. ( sigh) I do not know what happened but he was simply not on top of issues. His jokes were flat, he was stuttering...yes ooo the Obama we know was doing errrrm errrrm errrrm.( I am still cringing at the memory) and he kept looking down. All this while Mr. Romney ( Urgh) was firing from all cylinders. With some half grin, half smirk attitude. Hmm I read a tweet from Piers Morgan ( follow his twitter handle if you havent already. That man oozes British cynicism to the hilt) and he put it aptly...like a thief in the night Romney stole the show. Smh! For the past weeks we have seen Mr. Romney fumble right left center( , even his wife seems to know what to say right) I was even expecting the President to mention the famous 47% but .....hmmm well I guess I should be happy he has the chance to come back. There are two more debates. Guess when you fall you can try, try and try again. And yes he is intelligent so he can read the reviews and come back like a well oiled machine. But I can't seem to get over it. Herh who watched McCain and Obama. Goodness! That was  the gift that kept on giving. I thought that now as he is President, he was in depth knowledge to finish them knowing the mess that was createdby their party before he assumed office. Sigh!
But do try and read some reviews...interesting journalistic write ups. I love and recommend that of Reuters, Huffington Post and CNN. Watch the video and let me know what you think!

Wait let me laugh here....haha. Errrrm with the straightest face I can muster I humbly ask, are you American? Because now it seems to be able to comment about a country you must be from there? I had an interesting morning on Thursday up through Friday when some " friends" reminded me on Facebook that I am not an American, my votes do not count so literally... how dare I comment on how Prez Obama did. Eiii meni sane ne. First of all I am the queen of patience. People call it sarcasm, smart mouthed, sassy...naaaa I call it extreme patience laced with a smile. Trust me it  helps when i deal with "interesting" people. No, I do not insult, i dont call you names, i do not roll my eyes, i just encourage you to firmly solidify your (for want of a better word) behaviour. I have a straight face on so please stop smiling. Yes you!
And what heightened the strength of my patience that day, was the fact that they didn't even know what they were talking about. It all started because I posted one of Mitt Romney's  punch lines and I was waved the American flag. Meanwhile i solemnly swear i am one of the craziest Obama fans. Heheee. Hmm I am not going to go into all that, but I really want to say in clear terms that I am happy Ghanaian, I am happy I am not voting for Obama because William Nana Addo needs me, I am not going to stop speaking about other countries because frankly it is only intelligent to learn from others and apply it to what you have, I am not going into active party politics because sometimes someone can just love something for what is( please permission to roll my eyes on this one). So there.

Well the umbrellas have launched their manifesto with Papa jay in attendance. I have not read the manifesto so I am not going to comment on it but what I will comment a bit on what Papa Jay said. He asked President Mahama to remove the evil old dwarfs in the NDC. He said loud and clear and I believe all the reporters that covered the event in Ho recorded his words. But what I do not understand is why the statement has been twisted to refer to my William Nana Addo. I do not get it. Do you? Well I believe the umbrellas don't realize that this year, we do not care whatever they say about Nana. They can insult in whatever derogatory manner possible on this planet. We simply do not care. If they will not grow up and focus on issues and refer everything to how God created Nana that is fine. But errrrm who are the dwarfs Papa Jay paaa...he is really something else. I shudder to think the diss words that lie quietly in his head. Greedy bastards, Ata mortuary man, Babies with sharp teeth in dirty water now evil old bastards...haha, you see if the umbrellas were opening their eyes wide, they will see that Papa Jay is causing more harm than good.  But what do I know...I am not even American!

Haha...have a good evening.

Grin!

2nd October....

Good evening dear reader,

Ete sen. Meho ye nawo ensoso e? First of all lemme send a big shout out to Naija. Yep Omo Naija celebrated it's birthday yesterday. They are a whopping 52 years. Hmmm as you and I know Naija don carry last oo at least in my backyard. My office is close to the Nigerian Ambassadors residence and as at 2 pm yesterday afternoon the music and enjoyment was flowing. My colleagues and I were busy dancing to Yoruba music in the office. Errr please it was lunch break oh before you start looking for my boss's number.

Anyways this week has started out interesting. The NACCOB boss has decided to resign because he feels his outfit has been compromised. But his resignation is different , thought about it and decided to let us know his thoughts. No he hasn't written the letter, he is thought out the thought...mdfskkk. It is all nkura aduro. Nothing else. I hope someone tells him them those days of cantanta are gradually becoming over. Why what was he looking for? That some group will emerge " youth against the resignation of  the NACCOB boss" pls Mr. boss kindly mention the names and stop this because you and i know you are not going any where...But seriously Ghana's day of shame again. Some dudes decided to become rich and tried to send wee street value 4.3 million pounds to Lenden. Pls it is not a typo. It is Lenden innit. But I am puzzled I thought that cocaine was the ish. Hmm . Well I am glad now people trying to be circumspect in their pointing of  fingers. Because if I am to go by the what is good for the goose is equally good for the gander analogy ....won't it be cool then to say that Oga Prez deals in wee. Hahahaaaha. I am happy now all that noise on morality, nepotism and now drugs is paving way for some sort of common sense. Yes the shoe is getting tighter on the other foot no....otwiaaa.

Have you seen my Uncle recently. Ooh I am talking about my Uncle Kofi Wayo. I was reading the papers yesterday and I laughed so hard, I developed a cough. It was in the Daily Graphic. It was about the national women organizer and some other top exec of Chuck Kofi Wayo's party who held a press conference to resign because he is not serious. Yes their reason for leaving the party is simply because he is not a serious person. As I write this I am laughing because I do not even know how to comment on this. Too hilarious. By the way Is he still a board member of ECG or is it GNPC. Ah weiii nyinaa I will be taxed so they can receive sitting allowance. We are really a middle income country. True oo the way we behave only an invisible middle income country like us can do wonderful things like that. I really do not know why people do not stay away from people who talk too much. When I go out to places and I meet people who tend to talk plenty.... trying to be the Sean John of the party I just stare at you and laugh in my head. After all it is always 99.9 percent accurate that the the emptiest barrels make the deafening noise.

Guess what I have my own copies of the 50 shades of Grey trilogy. Thank you ViBa. (grin) it was really thoughtful and I appreciate the extra stuff. The only thing is I have got work tomorrow and there is no way I will not start reading. Tomorrow will be tough. I know I will need an energy booster. Did I hear you say coffee. Coffee! Urgh! It is the most disgusting thing that I have tasted. Yes it comes right after Guiness. Ewww. I get dizzy, my tummy hurts, I want to sleep, Ebei all the reactions I am not supposed to experience coffee finds a way to bring it out. Or I am a villager? Buei ! Then maybe. But speaking of work...have you realized we have a lot of mad men on the street. Like seriously! I cannot stand it. Actually it is one thing I do not hear all the political parties talking about. Building psychiatric hospitals or homes. You see them ie the mad men  walking about in brown tattered clothes, some of the men exposing all sorts of things, the women barefoot carrying all sorts of rubbish it is really an eyesore. I sometimes think, one of them can go haywire and attack the pedestrians? Or it is not possible? It is...who knows what is going on up in there. We need psychiatric hospitals. We do. We need about 10 facilities scattered across Accra alone. Yes. Anybody can get up today and go mad. Even you. And I am sure you do not want to be walking very confused and naked in the streets of Accra. Dey there and shake your head, everybody has some small levels of abodam in them. Sometimes you talk to yourself don't you...stop lying you do...hehehee.

Haha. Have a good evening and yes ooo I will be reporting live from Ho from Thursday. The Umbrellas say they want to launch their manifesto bi like that. Live from the trenches. Yours truly. And please...I am not a journalist.

Haha.
