Nate & Yodit from Talk of DC
When Abesha people invite me to a party, I’m like; naw I’m good, I go to real parties. You know, I go to the real HU.
I was frankly amazed this past Ethiopian DC soccer tournament; party after party, event after event, everybody was getting it. Normally, when I party with my Abesha’s, it’s quite the contrary. I am usually in a packed room, where the promoter already has made their money, and they don’t care about the music and the people are standing around.
When I go into a party, I want to walk in with my hands in the air and dance with the first bad thing, I peep. Then I want to proceed to the bar with clear walking space as I step off the crowded dance floor, without having to knock someone out, so I can pop some bottles.

Working hard or hardly working

I have to wear a watch at all times. If I am not, I feel nervous, uncomfortable and naked.
It maybe because I really respect time; as the saying goes ‘time is money” and I have to spend it constructively. Yes, I love to spend Sundays in bed, maybe make an egg bacon & cheese sandwich and a mug full of coffee; but that is time spent wisely.
My watch stopped working recently, and I have neither the time to get the battery replaced, nor do I own a backup one. But every morning before I leave I put it on as I have for the past two years.
I look for the time at least 6 times and day I would realize that the watch is not working and consequently would remind myself to go get a new one or take it to the shop.
This Sunday ‘no breakfast in bed;’ this Sunday I have to go ‘watch-hunting.’
I love a nice watch. Nice watch not expensive one. Expensive ok if’s nice. I have thought about a Mont Blanc, but I am not there yet, and my attire is more ‘bernos tees’ than ‘Ralph Lauren Polo’s’ these days. I don’t mind putting a small bankroll on it though. Continue reading ‘A Time Watch Flirt’

There is a saying that football (soccer) is the beautiful game in the world. But after watching the extreme violence and brutality of football fans in the movie “The Football Factory,” I was left to wonder if that saying was an irony.
This movie unfolds the dark world of British Hooligan culture thats replete with booze, drugs, sex and barbaric bare knuckle fights. Had it not been for the comedic nature of the movie, the gore and savagery in it would have been unbearable.
