I've got my Nostradamus hat on and I'm mwriting this atop of a Mayan temple..so beware the power of my predictions.The almighty oracle has spoken
  1.  Barack Obama will win the presidential race even with a a considerable loss in the polpular vote and also, he'll ban the phrase, "Yes we can" from his household forever. 
  2. The 3rd Christopher Nolan directed Batman movie will come out and , the appropriately named, Christian Bale will be knighted and made into a Saint, making him the first non-Catholic saint.
  3. There will be a major protest in Uganda and East Africa at large as biting inflation begins to tear away at the patience of the masses with the platitudes of government. It will not lead to change but will atleast show the birth pangs of a revolt. 
  4. The Olympics will be headlined by the USA basketball team that will simply dominate(the lineup is a basketball fan's wetdream, and given the improvement in world basketball, the fans may nvere want to wake from said dream). Usain  Bolt will have a diminished performance, the whole world will wonder why some games are still olympic sports. 
  5. China will begin a space program and begin to leverage the amount of debt owed to it by various countries to make them look the other way on the various Human Rights violations going on. 
  6. The BRIC countries will begin to suffer the effects of the Eurozone crisis..a second recession is probable. Boda bodas and taxi's will raise prices. Gum will be 300-400 shillings. I will set myself on fire
  7. A major band from the 80's/90's will reunite to perform a substandard tour. Music will continue to offer up more unique artists in niche markest while the top ten charts will continue to fail to reflect this. Spotify will overtake pandora as the major online radio music source.  
  8. A huge sexual scandal will be unearthed in American politics, as this is an annual event, it will be followed by some athletes coming out as gay in one of the major sports.
  9. The anti homosexuality bill will be discussed again and again be set aside for more pressing matters leading to religious people uniting against 'a common enemy". More absurd bills will pop up in parliament than before.
  10. A sublime pothole will appear in the middle of Kampala and we can finally boast of having somehting that can be seen from space(take that China, anyone can build a great wall, we have a pothole for the ages). this pothole may be caused by Golola Moses' falling back down to earth after a super round house kick from Nagy during his rematch.
  11. Skinny jeans will take over with guys between 16 and 24, girls will begin getting more tattoes in interesting places, and a rock band of Ugandan origin will hit the airwaves. Google + will add more users but Facebook will still dominate. The new Iphone will dissapoint. Ruckus as we try to register our sim cards(mbu L.C letter, really?)
  12. Finally, the wolrd will wake up and say, "Wait a minute, those Kardashian girls are a sleeper cell sent here to distract us from the alien invasion from planet Kardashia. Their plan of making us all mindless drones forced to watch them live their lives while complaining about it will be complete. "Dammit...The world will end December 21st..I will have just gotten my first house...cheers

Every Refuge has its price: My visit to the Prophet Mbonye- led Fellowship of Remnants

I'm not really the kind of guy that's spontaneous. Many a companion has tried to get me to do things spur of the moment and had their enthusiasm slowly drained as I whipped out my calendar to see if I could spare the time for their aside. Want to go to the bar? -Better give me a day's notice. Want to have lunch today?Better shoot me a text before 8am. Want to come over to my place? Send an owl with a handwritten letter in triplicate at least 4 business days ahead! I'm just the type of person who generally knows what I'll be doing days in advance. It was therefore rather out of the ordinary for me to suddenly think one Monday afternoon - "Hey why don't I just go see what is going on at the Mbonye thing ? " I texted my friend and asked her if she'd want to go with me but true to adult life-arranging a time that worked for us both was a little difficult. But this played right into my wheelhouse. We finally set a date and I was excited. In

The Disasterous Liberating Encounters of Love

Image
This is a brief story of a boy and his encounters with love  All quotes used are by Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek Love as an event    "Love is a disturbance of the existing order, the intrusion of the impossible into the possible, the subversion of the symbolic order. It disturbs the reality we take for granted, and reveals that reality is not all there is, that there is always something more." Isn't it true that many of us fall in love and it is a complete disaster? You are moving along enjoying your life, hanging out with friends, playing sports, reading questionable books, and wondering where exactly your life is going but you are too busy enjoying the ride to ruin it with questions.  For the boy, it was in the way he was coming into his own, from nerdy to well still nerdy but able to fool most of the people some of the time that he had some cool aspects!! Women were starting to pay attention to this lad who'd just survived puberty but retained the earnestness

Dont Act. Just Think : A short lesson from 2023

Image
Friends, as the embers of another year flicker low, I feel a chill wind whispering through the cracks in the edifice we call progress. It's not the usual New Year's shivers, the anxieties about resolutions, the hollow clink of glasses filled with liquid courage. It is a deeper tremor, a confession from the soul. that's been ill at ease for a while. This year served up losses. From loved ones gone too soon, to opportunities dashed through no fault of my own, to the inescapable loss of contentment at living in step with the just the way life is. Never more has the phrase " personal is political " resonated so much. Never have I seen change, innovation, and hoe mounted everywhere but in the realm of communal decision making how we decide the relations of life between us. For years, I, too, sang the siren song of self-reliance, the gospel of "hard work saves us.". That's a bit f luck and surely we can all make it.I was intimately aware of the challen
