The Funny Songs
I remember in the early eighties when Hibret Terit (Variety Show) used to bring some funny songs performed by the veteran Fantu Mandoye. In one skit it was he with Tshaynesh Bekele playing his daughter discussing the passing of arranged marriages and the thing called Love.
The title? “Yet Hedesh Neber?” As a solo act Fantu Mandoye also permormed, “Ehud YeEqub Tela ” and “Hamus Mata New,“ ,this song was written by the famous Tesfaye Lemma of the Orchestra Ethiopia fame. This version is a remake and doesn’t do the original justice.

Beauty is not in the eye of the beholder
You know the kind people turn around for…; the one that singers write songs for, painters paint about, the kind poems are written about…
It exists, and society based on environment has a consensus. The liberal idealists we are would disagree! We would say that beauty differs in different environments.
Meaning that a typical yaddisabba konjo girl would be way too short for an Anuak man and too light skinned for Nuer man of the Gambela region in Ethiopia & even Sudan.
Complexion, height, weight, bust size, hair color are weighted differently in different environments throught out the world. For example a woman that is 5’3’’ tall has enough height in parts Asia, but not in Norway where the average female height is 5’9 tall, as opposed to 5’0” in Japan.
Eventually someone would ask “if universal beauty exists.”
What is beauty?
But first we have to clarify what beauty is. Is beauty mental? Is it physical? If I care for someone, would that automatically qualify a typical person beautiful?
The fact is there is no consensus or it’s nearly impossible for everyone to agree on a definition of what beauty is. I.e. the phrase,
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Continue reading ‘Konjit’

journey taken.
They say a bunch of things. When a journey finally reaches a destination you graduate; apparently! Then what, ‘Quarter-Life Crises!‘ I went through it, and I am in consensus with Mr Ashe:
Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome. Continue reading ‘A College Grad’

No one likes to be cock blocked!
Some people might think it’s an art, but if you happen to be one of those people who actually fall victim of a cock block it can be very infuriating. It can even get worse depending on who is cock blocking you; her good girlfriend, her guy friend or her “other” girlfriend.
There are many forms of cock blocking that someone might have the misfortunate of encountering, but I think the basic ones fall in any one of the following categories…
I. Say you have an interest in this girl and you are trying to converse with her, so cock blocking would be any attempt by her girl friend to disturb the conversation. Either her girlfriend is unintentionally trying to protect her, or she wants you for herself.
If you are a loser type of guy who stalks a woman while she goes to the parking lot, doing her grocery shopping, or trying to catch a cab, then don’t be surprised if your advance is intentionally cock blocked by her girlfriend. Continue reading ‘Cock Blocking!’
