Comparing apples and bananas–Living in Paris (uncut version)

My heart is laced with sadness due to the untimely passing of Amy Whinehouse, like I said on facebook ; if only she had gone to rehab (it worked for Britney spears). If only she could come back and we sacrifice Rebecca Black in her place, wishful thinking; I know! Even more sadness filled my heart when I read about the accident between Otjiwarongo and Okahandja that claimed the life of a young promising lawyer; these car accidents are becoming catastrophic because the talent that is lost due a moment of negligence can’t be replaced. But even that can’t compare to the sadness that absolutely engulfed me when I read Monsieur Alfredo Hengari’s article in the Namibian newspaper (Click here to read it) .

Friendships in the modern world are like soccer contracts, not worth the paper their written on (can someone say Fernando Torres). But a brothership is a bond that cannot be broken, it’s a rock that stands the test of time, of course blood relation does help. When I was five and a half, No! When I was four and a half. Wait! When I was between the ages of four and six, I went to Otshipanda to visit my aunt Pauline and her late husband Mr Leonard Shapumba, actually it was my aunt who went to visit her sister I just tagged along coz Alex was gona be there. The Alex I’m talking about is Alex (T)Shapumba a.k.a chubbiness or Paa Alex is we have now christened him. It is to be noted that me and Alex were child prodigies of sorts extremely smart but yet with a healthy appetite for getting into trouble and entertaining each other, we were never bored. And we never spent longer than 2 weeks in the same place till we got to varsity and the escapades at varsity are stuff movies are made of; well
