To blog or not to blog
To plagiarize a famous Shakespeare quoataion. Why Blog? Indeed why get on the web and share your thoughts to milions of strangers , some who don’t know or care what you think?
Alas therein lies the rub! The chance to have my guts spilled out in cyberspsace is a prospect too tempting to pass up. When one reads other blogs some evoke laughter, anger - the depth and breadth of human emotions. I cannot promise that I will evoke emotion. hey a blog is isimply my web log — what i feel , think or want to comment on. Love me , hate me… want to strangle me .. Go Ahead !! i dare you…. if you can find me . Read more
How to say ‘I love you’- A guide for Zimbabwean men
Zimbabwean men are notorious for their inability to express their affections vocally. Those three words: “I love you,” when they do come out are often mumbled quickly or said without the affection that renders them meaningful. Too many Zimbo dudes believe that if they grope you all over, or if they buy you things, these are sufficient signs of affection so they don’t need to say it. Wrong! Here are few pointers to help you remove any doubt from her mind that you love her to bits.
1. Listen
When your woman talks, listen to her. If she’s sharing about the problems she’s having at work she’s not asking you to solve them, she just wants you to know. So don’t be afraid, just listen. Don’t fiddle with the remote, or keep glancing at the TV. If she is saying something important, switch off the damn set and pay attention. Give her the look that says mudiwa, you have my full attention. The rewards will be amazing. Read more
Husband shop opens in Harare
A store that sells husbands has just opened in the Harare CBD , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE !
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch… you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

Deliver us from Facebook, amen
I have nothing against social network sites having been on MySpace for close to a year now but I have always had this thing for Facebook. To say I hated it would be an understatement; I loathed it perhaps more than I hate AIDS. The dislike went on to the extent that I would give everyone who was on the network a long good lecture. Whether it was too my disadvantage or not I dont know, but soon everyone got the hang of it and stopped telling me they were on facebook. Can you believe that even my best friend hid it from me for two years?
Whenever I surfed the net, I would make sure that the site was nowhere near my URL address bar and I would groan and moan especially in internet cafes where every Tom and Dick would be logged on. You know, its as irritating as walking out of your house with a confident gait in your new Guccis, Prada and Armani only to find that everyone is putting on the same thing. Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t Facebook supposed to be used by people of a certain social standing who are in a certain age group? What then happens if a granddad is the number one user?

Did they offend you?
“He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.” – Proverbs 16:32
Once I spoke to a certain gentleman. He was relating an incident to me and he came to the part he wanted to emphasize one of his qualities. “I am very short tempered Mr Shamu,” he said. “I have a short wire.” He seemed to be bragging about it. I wondered if he would list this under his virtues. I’m sure he is not the only one who believes it’s a good quality to be desired in any leader. Some take pride in their outbursts (my wife calls this ‘blasting’). They blast someone and they feel they are on top of the world. Who would you rather have as a friend? One who takes offence easily and blasts people, or one who is calm, controlled and full of joy? I think the latter is a better friend and we all should strive to be the good friend. Read more
