the web truly is a weird place for sure. i think my moniker, "boel", might have to suffer an untimely death (for personal reasons of course).out of its ashes will rise another one, hopefully one with a great deal more privacy.

wasted heroes
I just discovered a fictional short story I worked on two years ago.as I went throughout the story today, man, did it hold much promise.unfortunately, have forgotten the rest of the plotline, and honestly, I dont think I will be able to match the creative genius( or semblance of it) I possessed then.like the story;'s title,I guess thats just another example of wasted heroes.

after a long hiatus( i dont know if two years qualifies as one), I am now a continent away and still in aimessly wandering in the halls of academia(though it be apparently aimless, I hope its not pointless as well).just discovered my blog by accident today really, (google is a wonder to behold), and fortunately, I still remembered my password and so voila, back to the rambling and raving about anything and everything

got the opportunity to listen to someone called enya.her music is a blast.she is from ireland and her music is a melodic fusion of "folk melodies, synthesized backdrops, and classical motifs" in the words of vh1.she really is quite something.
my life has gotten rather dreary, dull and rather lifeless.this has been made all the worse by my guardian insisting i do something about my employment status, despite the fact that this is a legally complicated situation that would require a protacted struggle to remedy it.

well this election week has been rather tumultous and i havent had time to post anything.also i am a bit worn out from my other postings and contribution to various forums.i managed to get some of my stuff published in a weekly financial gazzette in my home country.the situation in my native country grows more depressing with each passing day.they recently imprisoned an opposition party legislator on trumped up charges.it seems that whilst democracy never is cheap, the price it asks of some of us is great.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/3965615.stm

scouring in the library,searching for a book filled with a little bit of political sense i could read, i spotted a book by ann coulter, one of the new conservative political pundits who have made a career out of touring the country and spewing out her "conservative agenda.i thought that maybe a little bit of research on both sides point of view might enlighten me ont this years political wrestling match.if you thought Al Franken was messed up wait till you read this chick.
I have posted a few comments attributed to her below:
"[Clinton] masturbates in the sinks."---Rivera Live 8/2/99
"God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours.'"---Hannity & Colmes, 6/20/01
The "backbone of the Democratic Party" is a "typical fat, implacable welfare recipient"---syndicated column 10/29/99
To a disabled Vietnam vet: "People like you caused us to lose that war."---MSNBC
"Women like Pamela Harriman and Patricia Duff are basically Anna Nicole Smith from the waist down. Let's just call it for what it is. They're whores."---Salon.com 11/16/00
it seems as if the words politics and sense are aversive to each other.if politics was an individual, then his closest relative would be aptly named nonsense.

out of curiousity,i went to the public library and my college library, looking to peruse through Al Frankens latest book.To my shock and horror,they were all checked out!!!american democracy seems to be in graver danger than i thought if the public has resorted to political education through such partisan mediums.anyaway,there is no real reason for me to fret over the ill health of American democracy since my home country has long since abandoned any pretenses at democracy and seems determined and resolute to become Africa's 1st fascist government.if you dont believe me,spare a moment to peek at the following linkhttp://http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3303253.stm.
as for the rest of us,we have been forced to flee for dear life and become political and economic prostitutes in America.to celebrate it all i have decided to name Al Franken political pundit of the day.he is wise(only his followers are downright stupid) and Robert Mugabe Africa's best statesman(by the way, a poll in found him to be Africa's 3rd best statesmen,although how they came to that belief confounds all reason.)http://http://www.sabcnews.com/africa/southern_africa/0,2172,86076,00.html

finished reading a novel, deception point by Dan Brown.i must say i am an avid Dan Brown fan as i find his fiction writng intellectually stimulating. he has an uncanny ability to fuse shreds of reality with fiction in his work. i must reiterate that they are mere shreds and these are even threadbare .still i think the plot whereby one politician gullibly falls for his intelligence agent's attempt to pull off a grand deception to enable him(the politician) to win the election is one that resonates well with the electorate nowadays. now i have to find to assimmilate that history info i was supposed to have been reading instead of a novel.
