Had a very strange dream about my boots, my "challenge accepted" T-Shirt which Spyder so kindly thought to make for me, and Tusker Project Fame Season 5 (TPF5). So when I woke up, I made sure to wear that T-Shirt, yesterday's sweat and all, and those boots and to go to the TPF dome tonight. Not sure what will happen but, I'm excited to find out.
It must be something to do with the recent BBC reports I've been listening to. Don't know how, I just feel it's connected. I remember wondering - while listening to BBC features - why all our radio stations waste their airwaves playing just music.We could be doing pieces on Kenyan, African history even, but no! We're busy feeding ourselves and our children with American music, American slang, American bullshit.
I'll admit, I'm envious of their ability to do the kind of stuff they do. The traveling, the hit music, the epic action movies, their version of Anime. It's annoying to say the least, that I'd rather watch Big Bang Theory than Mali. I really would. It's terrible that I spend hundreds and hundreds of 50bobs a year just buying pirated American and European movies.
The only thing I pride myself in as a black skinned African, is that when I find something useful in those foreign pictures that I watch, I share them with my peers in the hope that we shall be able to adopt and Africanize. Unfortunately, we only ever mimic... like monkeys. Not all of us, but most. I mean, have you heard some of the accents people have.
Even those afflicted with the mother-tongue influence insist on emphasizing the twang. God help us!
