Party time.

So my kid sister's giveaway or traditional wedding is this weekend 23rd April 2011.
We have gotten over the shock of her getting married at 23years and are now very happy for her. Actually looking forward to the day.

One lesson learned though. Never despise people because of their tribe, religion, job, social status, etc etc. I'll soon have a brother inlaw from a group i once considered less equal with others. Not anymore. We've gladly and happily accepted him as a brother.

So anyone want to join us in celebration this weekend? We even got Magharita and Cosmopolitan for the corporate Kampala belles. Gin and tonic for the guys.

Madness

This morning while listening to one of the morning radio shows, a guy writes in
complaining about people's short minded nature because of the negative reactions he's received on a life decision he has made. Apparently he is married and the wife makes a lot more money than he does. So the wife has suggested he leaves his job and take up role of baby sitter or house husband. The guy's friends are so against it and his mother has labeled him a disgrace to the family for abandoning his role of main bread winner in the family.
People, isn't this total madness. How can one be comfortable living off his wife? This is a total patriarchal society and the men are supposed to provide for their wives and children. In this case it’s going to be the reverse i.e. the wife fending for the husband.
Imagine a situation where the guy wants to have a drink with the boys. Would he ask his wife to give him some money? How about asking wifey to buy him a deodorant, boxers, airtime, or money to go to the barber shop.

Jeez, this guy needs Jesus.
