2011 Facebook awards..

The year has come and its gone but facebook still remains *emotional* but lol @ the same time. We lost good freinds like Gaddafi,Mubbarak and Julias #hiding# yet we still have a lot of likes. Well,what happens on facebook its either you like it,comment or just scroll down.

In the history of mankind they is no invention that has brought mankind together regardless of colour,# no wonder Zuckerberg is colour blind#,gender,tribe or race, like facebook. Facebook is not a religion but its a social network a platform for people to make freinds, money, love, preach a sermon, be fools, get followers and be followed. Its in how you see or use facebook that will either get you rich or fired. A standing ovation to the social network, it has allowed us to reconnet with long lost freinds, family and even enemies. In the process; it has never been so easy to fall in love, be engaged, propose, get into a complicated situation or even be seperated. It is all just a click away. You dont judge a book by its cover, you judge it by its face.

After all the adventure, likes and comments and making freinds a community is built. Just like every community they will always be different people . Look at what i have called the Facebookers;


ATTETION SEEKERS

They would use the sillest update to get attention from people eg "oh Nelson Mandela is now old..tata eish thank you" so what we all no that..lol..

LOVE HUNTERS

They always peep ladies pictures,like every update and they always upload the best of their pics..eg Josh just uploaded 45 pictures of himself album name " me, myself and the man (me)" or Susan's status " toothache josh likes this or he comments "me too".


WOUNDED PREY


Just had a breakup will not delete or block X ..but uploads new pics of self with coolest dudes, then writes on their wall "tnx bby had an owesome nite #realman#"


LONELY RANGERS

Have more freinds on facebook than real life and often write about life eg " what is life or thot i could tac a walk"

QUITERS

They joined facebook never wrote anything most probably they dont have a profile pic if they do its the windows XP picture you get from the picture folder. You go to their wall the only thing you find is "James has joined facebook 3 December 2009".

 CRITICS

They dont know what network is or maybe they have got their own beleif its a free country .They dont like or comment most of the times they usual post " its funny how pipo turn out to b on facebook God have mercy'


FREAKS

All of us are freaks.

It has all been on facebook critisism, cynicism,optimism and all the ism but for me the status update of the year goes to..

a boy's dad joins facebook the boy amazed writes on his wall my dad jus joined facebook WTF. The father curios about all ask the boy "son what does WTF means" the boy inocently writes welcome to facebook DAD.

A good year indeed ,just like or comment *wink wink*

the Bishop and the Monk...


After watching the 7 o’clock news and seeing the old Bishop Tutu fuming and angry over the rejection of the Dalai lama‘s visa, the following morning the public responded differently. One man who caught my attention and inspired me to pen and paper is the one who said in a Zulu assent “he want to bring the DILAYI LAMA here fore  lousy  birthday u know and spoil the relationship which  the government has with China.”  They are three things involved here; the lousy birthday, DILAYI LAMA ignore my pronunciation if reading spelling and china. A birthday comes once a year like Christmas and every child and Bishops would do anything to make sure their favorite girlfriends and friends are there. For the Bishop he wanted his colleague Dalai Lama to be present, well things didn’t turn out as expected. So the Bishop had to come out of retirement and earn himself another Nobel peace prize, maybe call it campaign against violation of human birthdays, or call it how a Bishop saved a Monk ‘ Jesus saves’.

Faith without works is dead. The Bishop threatened with prayer, he threatened to pray for the downfall of the ANC .That is so scary if I was the Bishop myself I would have prayed for the Visa long back and save my prayers for other things  like unity in the ANC and peaceful hearing of Julius Malema.

The big question is why did the government not grant the Dalai Lama his visa? The first possible reason is it is a threat to government‘s relations with China and the second reported reason was that the Tibetan leader did not send his papers on time. The other burning question is if Tutu knew about the China government relations  visa vi the threat that the Tibetan leader would be to them(relations), why then did he go on to invite him. If he had to consider the consequences to the nation as a whole and its economy rather than cutting a cake with his Prize mate what would he chose?

While on the other hand the anger of the Archbishop is justifiable. The Chinese government has no right to interfere in the Dalai Lama’s social visits that do not involve any political or economic reasons. He wanted to come to South Africa just to party nothing more. He won’t take a lot of seats by the way; he will just sit down and mind his own business.

I guess the Struggle is still on the final victory has not yet come. Big up to the Bishop he sure is a man of faith I quote “faith without works is dead”. Before I close my chapter today I would like to send my prayer request addressed to the Bishop.

Dear Tutu

I am a Zimbabwean and I applied for my visa last year in December, the government promised that it will be out in few weeks. Now its 10 months I haven’t received anything, every day I have to part ways with a couple of Rands to the Police. Please Bishop remember me in your prayers even as we pray for this government

Your fellow African
