Today’s guest is Sidaki, who blogs apparently on the cycle of every eclipse. It’s a bit on the short side, but I’m led to believe it is a teaser ….
My neck, My back, My RANT
By Sidaki
I’m in a rather nasty mood today and seeing as how I am a good guy, I will spread the feeling around. I must warn you not to expect any clever witicisms or thought provoking phrases, I’ll leave that to M. You may not agree with what you read but tolerate me for a while. After all, it is a rant.
1. News!
You see, I’m from the old school, just like Yasmin. I remember the days when news was news. No interludes where the news caster stops to drink a glass of water, or worse yet, feels that I am interested in his take on the day’s news. Those were the good old days when the news-caster would wear a dark suit and a tie and sit in the heat of the studio lights and read what was in front of him (from a foolscap) like a professional.
Not these new age trollops who read the news from a screen, appearing intelligent the whole while trying to hide the fact that they are completely ignorant of what they are talking about. To make it worse, they start talking to each other! Exchanging what they fondly believe to be jokes.
And which third rate PR firm told KTN Weekend Prime that I like the person reading me news to be standing and walking around?! Why is the guy dressed casually? Why the hell is he pocketing? Where the hell is he walking to? Someone give that man a tie and a suit and stick him behind a desk.
And who told these news-casters that I’m actually interested in that air-headed, asinine dribble that they call an opinion?! Read the fucking news. Period. Save your opinions for your colleagues or someone who does not know better. Idiot!
And how come news is always 40 minutes long? Is it that the same amount of stuff happens every day? Wouldn’t I be pleased if one day I tuned in to news and the idiot in the box told me something like ‘Today there really wasn’t much news. Actually, nothing much happened. Catch it in tomorrow’s paper. Goodnight.’ Wouldn’t that be brilliant?
However, they would rather fill in the news with public interest stories that could put you in a coma. A whole TV crew will actually camp somewhere to tape a man being mugged to show in the news where they will complain that Nairobians do not help their fellows!
2. Tuju!
Anyone from Luo Nyanza out there? The next time you people are stoning Tuju, will at least one of you hit him? How does he tell us that he does not suck up to Raila and then confess that he needs his permission to hold a peaceful rally in Kisumu? Just one stone on target would be enough.
Why is it that these politicians assume immediately that the people stoning them have been coerced to do so by someone else? Are you so narcissistic that you refuse to believe that a person can, of his own voilition, throw a stone at you? Could it not be that some people are convinced that you could do with a good knock on the head?
3. Miscellaneous!
And these chicks with hair as short as mine who keep brushing away invisible locks of hair from their faces. Style up. You are creeping me out. Here I am trying to have a conversation with you but every few seconds you go and piss me off!
