My pride

Was reading todays Observer (may 28-31) and some words from Ireen Kiiza’s artical -i had a thought…abad thought cought my attention.

she writes and i quote

 ” you could be sitting there with some one and happily talking away, probably some one you consider special, and in their mind they are wondering why the hell you think they love you, as you are day-dreaming about the two of you, they are dreaming about that day when you will finally get out of their life“

….and am thinking,

why do we even bother to love, to like, to care…and all those nice things about others?. and my attempt at my own question is, becouse we are human, wishing well for others, loving them, is what makes us feel better about our own selves, it keeps us going and hoping for a better tomorrow becouse this can only be achieved if we as humans give the best of our selves to the rest of man kind.

what the f&*% am i talking about??

Shiiit, i better go take my pill.

Mike Tyson & Wife with Baby Exodus

Retired boxer Mike Tyson is in mourning after his 4-year-old daughter died in the hospital on Tuesday following a freak accident with a treadmill cord.

Little Exodus was placed on life support in St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix after she was found unconscious with her neck choked by the power cable of the gym equipment on Monday.

She was pronounced dead the following day.

Dr. Tajudeen Abdul-Raheem, the most irrepressible Pan Africanist of his generation, died in Nairobi on 24 May 2009. He passed away in a road accident on his way to launch a maternal health campaign in Kigali, Rwanda. The accident happened in the wee hours of the morning on Mombasa road en route to Jomo Kenyatta airport, in Nairobi, Kenya.

May his soul rest in eternal peace

Inna lillahi wa inna ilahi raji’un. “Verily we belong to Allah, and to Allah we return.”

Ferrari is the most famous Formula 1 marque and the only team to have contested every world championship since its inception in 1950.

Ferrari are the oldest team in F1

Ferrari has been driven by all-time greats like Fangio, Lauda, and Schumacher making it the most famous, most popular amongst the fans and successful team in the sport of Formula 1.so, when they threatens to leave F1, people sit up and take notice.

Ferrari has said it will not take part in the sport next season if planned big changes to the rules go ahead.

F1 bosses want the sport to be cheaper for new teams, so have asked teams to only spend £40m per season.

Teams that agree to the spending cuts will drive under different rules to the teams that don’t, which has angered the top people at Ferrari who think that the sport will be damaged if some teams are working to one set of rules and some are working to a different set.

The teams that do agree to work within a budget of £40m a season will have more technical freedom.

That means the rules that govern the shape of their cars will be different, and they’ll be allowed to spend much more time testing their designs.

Experts think that only teams that used that technical freedom would be able to win races, forcing all teams to agree to the £40m budget.

Lewis Hamilton a ferrari team member ”could not imagine” F1 without Ferrari while Renault’s Fernando Alonso added that it was “impossible” for it to happen

Spaniard Alonso is considering racing in other categories

but also added that ”For me, it is strange no-one sat down and thought how much we are damaging the sport, how much damage the sport has had in the last two months,”To have those three or four new teams and to lose seven of the big manufacturers, I cannot understand, and not just losing the seven manufacturers, but losing the 10 best drivers in the world.F1 would not be interesting”

Apparently its not only Ferrari threatening to quit, Toyota and Red Bull have also already threatened not to enter next year’s championship unless the new rules change.

I personally believe that Ferrari is Fomular1, and i hope this doesn’t happen, I expect things to be cleared out as i don’t think its in any body’s interests for Ferrari to leave the sport.

Celebrated Ferrari!!

This dude just cracks me up…here are some of his famous quotes.

Come on good people, laugh some…..

“American wine is like Kazakhstani wine, but not made from fermented horse urine”

“Very sorry to interrupt politic. Might I make a shit in your house?” interupting aconversation.
