Often you hear people dreaming about one day being recognized as a celebrity (a widely known person), reason for this can be attributed to a number of facts. For the ladies "celebrity status" would entitle them to a number of things...Party invites, free drinks, envy of her peers, unlimited male attention just to mention a few.

Like the ladies, the gentlemen also seek celebrity status for a number of reasons...Party invites, free drinks at the bar, wealth, unlimited female action and as much as these reasons may appeal to the masses, they do come at a price.

For one, upon attaining celebrity status, an idividual ultimately says goodbye to privacy because from that day forth, every action they engage in will be scrutinized under the watchfull eye of the public;  every positive action will earn them praise, every negative action  will get them crucified, in true essence you lose the freedom to be you.

Secondly with fame comes the hanger-ons also known as followers, minions, spongers, cohorts, parasites, freeloaders...u get the drift; now as much as it might look cool to have an entourage,  it is not cool to have a negative bank balance all because you had to buy this individual drinks, clothes, shoes, pay thier rent...I mean cooommmeee ooonnn!!!

Last but definately not least the rumors and the lies. When an individual attains celebrity status he/she is suddenly at a higher level than most on the social ladder and this will lead to  the celebrity attracting the attention of a group of negative minded individuals commonly refered to as "haters".  Who are haters? These are individuals who hate;  Individuals who express unfounded or inappropriate hatred or dislike, particularly when motivated by jealousy. These haters have one goal to bring the celebrity down, how will they do this? Through rumors and lies. You will suddenly start hearing negative stories about the said celebrity for instance...claims of financial debt, accusations of homosexuality, accusations of devil worship, fornication...the list is endless...

So to all those dreaming of one day being a celebrity,  take heed of the way I see it and if you feel capable of paying the price then go for it atleast you will not go into it blindly. Till next time 1!!!

Today I would like to address a phe-no-me-non that is taking a grip on society and is having disastrous effects on the essence of relationships as we know it; the phe-no-me-non I speak of is none other than drunk texting. The mere mention of the words gives me chills, what is drunk texting?

A modern derivative of its cousin, drunk dial-ing, this involves sending text messages via cell phone to friends, girlfriends, bosses, just friends, etc., while in a drunken stupor. Typically it is used on a desired member of the opposite sex, that is normally not desired during sober hours.

There are various scenarios associated with drunk texting, here is one of them:

You have recently broken up with a certain individual and you find you're not quite over that person, you find yourself thinking about this person, wondering what there doing, reliving the good times and then, you get drunk...

This when u decide to act on your thoughts and send a text, these texts could be 1 of 3 options, from the more subtle to the more reckless:

• Hey w'sup? How u doing? Been a while since I heard/saw u, hope u good, just saying hey...

• Hey u, spent the day thinking bout you, really miss u, any chance we can talk things over, I am lost without you...

• Hey love, so am here sitting thinking about those things we used to do, I really miss u, any chance we can hook up for old times sake?

So what do you do to prevent this situation or even better get out of the situation:

• Switch off your phone
• Delete your ex's phone number (If you have it memorized, get completely hammered to the point you won't even remember your own name!!!)
• Spend all your airtime/credit before you get drunk
• Use your phone to get more drinks

And here is what you can do to get out of the situation:

• Blame it on a friend who is willing to counter your story
• Blame it on the bartender who you gave your phone for more drinks
• Send a counter SMS saying you sent the SMS to the wrong person, also indicating you have moved on ha!
• Buy a new line!

Drunk texting, it stops now!

For those few of you who have been living under a rock and are unaware of the fact that, the World's biggest soccer event is currently underway, let me be the first to tell you, the 2010 World Cup is happening and its happening right here in Africa.

The 2010 World Cup kicked off on 11 June 2010 'surprise, surprise' for the first time in Africa, as per now, here is what you need to know, out of the 6 African countries that qualified only 1 made it out of the Group stages into the round of 16. This mighty country I speak of went on to beat the almighty USA (Nuclear Weapons) to proceed to the quarter-finals where they will face Uruguay on Friday 02/07/10 at 9:30pm. The country I speak of is none other than Ghana commonly referred to as the “Black Stars” or as they are now known the Ambassadors of Africa.

Another aspect you need to note is England a.k.a “The Three lions” are out of the 2010 World Cup. The three lions were knocked out by the 'Brewing' Germans (I just made that up, nice eh?). The score basically sums up the dismal performance England put on this World Cup, Germany 4-1 England. Prior to the World Cup, the English squad thanks to the British media, were portrayed as the indomitable, fierce, conquerers of Africa, however, after that performance a lot has been put into question including their nickname, it is claimed the British public do not consider the current England squad fit to carry the name and will hence forth be known as “The Three Pussies.” (Like as in pussy cats, you twisted little perv)

Another fact you need to note, Portugal scored the most goals in a single game having beaten North Korea 7-0, since that match it has been reported certain members of the North Korean team have gone missing, they are said to have last been seen in the arrival lounge of the North Korean International airport.

Finally I would like to provide you with an insight from this 2010 World Cup, after all this is “The Way I see it” :
1.Shakira is a liar, it is not time for Africa
2.Argentina is a brilliant team being coached by a mad man
3.England continue to roar but fail to soar (You can borrow that)
4.Brazil are likely to sneak through to the final stages of the tournament
5.Women do not really like football, do not be fooled & please whatever you do, do not let your guard down

And on that note, I bow out, till next time 1!
