Old Classics - Westlife

     I remember back in the days when I was in high school and the only cool songs to dedicate to a girl where Westlife's songs. Songs such as My Love, I Lay My Love On You, Fool Again and my two favorites What Makes A Man and Swear It Again. Well, why am I writing about all this? A friend of mine posted a youtube clip on Facebook called Uptown Girl by Westlife. So I listened to it and you know you get all the different suggestions at the end of the video. So I clicked on another Westlife video, which led me to another, and another and another and the chain continued. By the time I realized, I had spent about 45 minutes of Westlife music videos. And why the blog, while surfing, I read somewhere that 'dope' is a word that is used to describe anything cool. And the list of cool things included blogging, music, fashion, education, safe sex, or a person - in that order. So I thought, well I do have a blog so maybe let me blog about what I have just done in the last one hour. And it turned out it's listening to Westlife.


     I don't really feel like I have spent my time doing nothing because I enjoy listening to the old classics. I think of Westlife as one of those great boybands like The Beatles and The Bee Gees. Not  many people would agree with me on that one but that's just my opinion. I mean, their records may not have sold as much as The Beatles' records but they reached and touched many souls (especially infatuated teenagers). In that regard, yes they are classic. So we have learnt that 'dope' means fun. And on the list we have music, fashion, education and safe sex plus other more. I feel like I should blog about education or safe sex because I personally think that these two are really very cool things. But not now, those are interesting topics for another day. I promise, I will blog about education and safe sex very soon. I will tell you very soon (hopefully) why it is cool to be educated. Why it is cool to have safe sex and not rubber-free sex. These are important topics. Thank God, I am graduating very soon with a B.A. in Physics. Now that's very cool. Who can touch that???


     I am sorry guys this is the most random blog I have written thus far. But I do enjoy blogging, it gives me the opportunity to say whatever I want whenever I want without thinking about following typical essay rules or any kind of protocol. Blogging is poetry to me and now that's 'dope'. Alright, I will leave y'all with a Westlife song called "What Makes A Man". Hope you enjoy it. Ohh and Good luck to the Chipolopolo boys (Zambia National Soccer team) on Sunday. I hope we can get a point or better against Equatorial Guinea on that day. Peace!!!

Emmanuel Mayuka - Zambias Raw Talent

      After watching Zambia vs. Senegal (Africa Cup of Nations 2012), I couldn't help but notice the pace, agility and intelligence of Mayuka #20, Zambias forward. I am going to admit it, I was pessimistic about this kid's talent, just as I was when I saw Emmanuel Mbola feature for the Herve Renard's men at the CAN 2010. However, my pessimism was deep-rooted in our FAZ's (Football Association of Zambia) handling of young talent. I have always thought that our football governing body is not well equipped in dealing with raw talent. Why is it that our Zambian players struggle to break into the top European leagues i.e. EPL, Serie A, La Liga etc? It's not because we don't have talent there, rather it's because we don't have a well developed channel that can be used to help our players break into these world class leagues.

      Anyways, back to Mayuka. I was obviously very impressed by his display during the CAN 2010 but even more so during todays game (CAN 2012). He certainly look sharper, smarter, confident and he got Zambia's first goal of the tournament. Obviously all this come with experience and he's got a little bit of that experience now. I hope he keeps glowing with confidence throughout this tournament. How about Mbola? What happened to Mbola? After a menacing showcase of skill and thrill in Angola two years ago, Mbola is nowhere to be seen this year in Equatorial Guinea/Gabon. Could this be another case of a young, talented player going to waste all because of our FAZ? I hope not. I would have loved to see Mbola during this tournament though, he sure has a lot to offer. As for Mayuka, keep your head up. The sky is not the limit!


     Alright, we cannot celebrate that win over Senegal without acknowledging the reliable, key players such as Chris Katongo, Rainford Kalaba, Kennedy Mweene, and the excellent back four Joseph Musonda, Chisamba Lungu, Stophira Sunzu and Hijani Himonde. Our captain Chris master-minded a superb through ball, that caught the Senegalese defenders off-guard, to Rainford Kalaba who just needed a yard around the goalie before slotting home a cool finish into the bottom right corner to give the Chipolopolo boys a well deserved 2 goal lead. Well done boys and keep it up. Next game on Wed against Libya. Keep calm, stay focused and we'll do the job. Peace!

Reflections on Drakes 'Shot For Me' - A note to the ladies

This song is deep! It makes me think about all the ladies out there who change just for the man. Instead of being real to themselves, they walk, talk and comb their hair just for the man. They forget their true inner beauty. Always trying to please the man, thinking they will win his heart when in actual fact the man don't even notice. And when he does notice, it's for their physical appearance. Hey ladies, there are still some good men (myself included,lol) out there though. Just don't show your skins too early; give a man something to dream about. If you're the insecure type, a man will make you and own you. And that's not what you want, unless you're a 'D'. To all my 'A' ladies out there, keep your heads up and "may your neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you, angels protect you and Heaven accept you." Take a shot for me when I die.
