How it all began; Triple inception: Don’t try this at home.



I was reading my friend bubbles blog the day (not bubbels from Powerpuff Girls, the REAL bubbels) and I thought to myself, why don’t I try that too? Well actually this is how it happened, I used triple inception on her (You must be going “triple inception, WTF is that?”). 

It’s quite simple really, you take a carefully crafted thought and you plant it into a second person’s head (Bubbles in this case). This action induces them to go on and plant it into a third person’s head (Tuya, ever unsuspecting and totally oblivious to the wizardry going on here). The third person (Tuya) then replants the thought into the second person’s head (bubbels) who goes on to re-plant the thought back into the head of the originator (Me). Notice that each person feels as if they created the idea and no one feels bad or left out.

Bubbels must be scratching her head going “Sneaky little bugger even said he didn’t watch inception!” (Mojo Jojo from Powerpuff Girls would give me a high 5 for scheming such a devilish plan). Hard to believe but you have to bend your mind to understand, although Lord Voldemort (He who must not be named) has been doing it since Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone.

Now you know the origin of the birth of this blog, let me officially welcome you. According to projections this will be entertaining and at times controversial and you should enjoy it coz I don’t think I will have time to blog once Im done with varsity, I will be too busy laying on the couch watching super 15, or is it super rugby now? (you leave home for a while and they start changing everything, taxi would have gone up to N$10.00 by the time I get back). For now just enjoy the results of stress induced procrastination.

10.5 in a straight line – The Namib Naukluft Mountains.

A mountain is nature's way of saying take the long way round (Scenic route) May 2012 (The following actually happened, I kid you not) My head was stuck so deep in the map that I was closely analyzing that I hardly noticed when the car stopped, I kept staring at it as though a road to our destination would magically appear. “Why have we stopped, we’re not even a quarter of the way there?” I asked myself. No roads existed to where we wanted to go, just a frighteningly deep valley beyond the rocky hill where we stopped. As I got out of the car all I could see was grass, huge hills and the shadow of three big mountains on the horizon. I glanced at the GPS as I was lacing up my boots while Patrisia grabbed our back packs, what I saw hardly pleased me. “Agreed,” she said as she went left with her technician, and I went right with mine. We agreed to meet at the exact spot where the car was parked at the end of the day.  “10.5 km’s to target,” my technician said with unres

Trends of deadly passion

I am sure most of you have heard of the phrase ‘a crime of passion’. The reservoir of modern wisdom that is Wikipedia, defines it as “ a violent crime, especially murder, in which the perpetrator commits the act against someone because of sudden strong impulse such as sudden rage rather than as a premeditated crime.” Wikipedia also states that the act, as is suggested by the name ( crime passionnel - from French language) is often associated with the history of France. However, such crimes have existed and continue to exist in most cultures. Namibia has seen a rise in the murder of young women, usually by their partner in an intimate relationship. Yes, boyfriends who kill their girlfriends. Usually siting a sudden rage brought on by a quarrel or spat which drives them to commit murder. I’ve been in relationships, and girls are weird. So I can understand how frustrated a guy can get, women are frustrating at times it’s like they are from a different planet. They can drive

Namibian education system language policy - 5 things that could go wrong

A month or two ago, or even three; time feels like it’s moving slower these days. The Namibian Education Minister announced a radical change in language policy, English would no longer be the medium of instruction in the lower primary phase. This means that from grade 1 – 5 children in the Namibian Education system will be taught in their mother tongue. I know what you are thinking, you’re probably going, “Why not? Children should be taught in their local languages.” Which is not necessarily a bad thing, research has shown that mother tongue education improves language acquisition and learning in general. However, no research has ever been done in Namibia to prove this. As it stands, there is no empirical evidence to prove that mother tongue education will work in Namibia. We seem to be copying South Africa who have a similar policy in place, South Africa has also lowered pass requirements from high school to improve results (not pointing fingers, I’m just saying). You’re prob
