Ouch!

Somewhere in Zimbabwe a man hooked up with a lady in a bar. She was a hooker and for him it wasn’t the first time to take it to the next (business) level with this woman.

This time he gambled. During the naked encounter he said he wouldn’t pay this time. Wrong words, wrong time. The take-no-prisoners hooker bit his penis off. Ouch! After the bite she ran outside to spit that piece of meat out. Blah.

The man’s hooker visits are no longer a village secret. He landed in hospital. What we unfortunately can’t see are the faces of the nurses. Probably pricesless. The hooker got arrested. Trial started and the man had to walk into the courtroom to testify against his assailant. But as he walked into the room it was clear to all present that he had difficulties walking. Sore between the legs. Ouch! Does size still matter?

Human behavior is a sexual journey. With or without a bite.

Straight out of a movie. Café Marco, somewhere in Australia. It’s morning. A lone suitcase just stands there. Nobody picks it up and leaves with it. No recollection of how it got there. Who dropped it there that morning?

The Café owner gets intrigued, maybe even a litlle suspicious. He opens the suitcase and wonders if he is daydreaming. US$1 Million in cash. In small notes.

Another customer tells the cops he has a vague memory of a young-ish man wearing surfing shorts carrying the suitcase into Café Marco earlier that morning.

The mystery remains unsolved.

Drug deal? Lottery winner without a bank account? Betting man? Rich dude with a heart about to make a homesless insanely happy? Dirty politician paying somebody to keep silent? Cash for a hitman? And why not…. for a hitwoman? Will we ever know?

Meanwhile back in the cash-less world the world is watching the ongoing currency and debt struggles in Europe, and the US$ trillion cost cutting attempts in the US. Tough times. Crazy times.

Forget any normal politicking in the US as Washington DC is in election mode. It’s all about saving one’s ass, spin, collecting campaign cash and watching one’s back.

And the Republican pizza-man stepped out of the race. Too many girlfriends. Extra toppings…. Too many lies to keep hidden under the carpet. Back to baking pizzas. Who else is still in that early race? Hardliner Gingrich is planning a return to the main stage it seems.

Human behavior is often a déjà vu.

But the US political system seems not coping anymore with the reality of politicking. A democracy hijacked by permanent campaigning.

A president gets elected in November. Then waits till January to get sworn in. Then a long and hard journey to get his/her government officials (secretary of state, secretary of defence,…) through the Congress process. Then after 6 months or so after being voted in, the White House resident can start governing. But very soon already the mid-term elections are creeping up and governing slips into campaigning. Once these elections are over it’s adjusting to their outcome. Bit of governing space and then (too soon) the next presidential race pops up. It seems even that this year the race has started ridiculously early. Especially on Republican side, a sthey need to find their candidate amidst the pile of wannabees. Alaska hockey-mum Palin didn’t join the race (easier the scream and shout populistic one-liners from the sideline) but there are still plenty of candidates. Some obscure ones. Some really dumb ones. Some religious zealots. Some racists. Some edgy ones. But amazing how early the Republicans are at it. Especially if one realises how many millions get dumped into this race. First millions to fight within your own party. And if you make it (and are still not tottaly broke), then the more important and costly race for the real presidential elections. Crazy system. So much money wasted.

Human behavior and politics are a f*cked up cocktail.

Looking at one’s dreadlocks will never be the same again.

A South African woman was arrested at Bangkok's international airport after police said they found 1.5kg of cocaine hidden in her dreadlocks. Fully Jamaican style.

Nobanda Nolubabalo, 23, was searched when police noticed a white substance in her hair shortly after she stepped off a Qatar Airways flight that originated in Brazil and flew via Qatar to Bangkok. The search uncovered 1.5kg of cocaine - with a street value of US$150000 - hidden in her dreadlocks.

And in Thailand the authorities don’t laugh with drug smuggling. Nobanda is facing a tough time. Some risks are stupid, others are ridicilously so.

Human behaviour is too often guided by stupidity and money.

The insanity and rot within the Catholic church seems just never ending.

Disgusting. Brutal. Sickening. Mentally disturbing. Outrageous. An independent Dutch inquiry into child sexual abuse committed by Catholic priests found "tens of thousands" of victims since 1945, identifying 800 alleged perpetrators.



Tens of thousands (!!!!) of minors were exposed to "mild, severe or very severe sexual behavior" by clergy or lay workers in the Dutch Catholic Church over a 65-year period between 1945 and 2010. How sick is this? In the name of God?!?

Claims of alleged sexual abuse examined by the inquiry went from "light physical contact to penetration". Dutch bishops expressed their regrets and offered "sincere apologies" to the victims. Is that all? A little speech and a prayer. These bishops must be on dope. Maybe from that dreadlocked mule. Crazy. The perpetrators whom are still alive should be hunted down and brought to justice and thrown in jail. Let them have some shower-time with other inmates. The Catholic church is rotten and sick and keeps behaving it is above the law. F* that!!!!

From sick to insane,… and returning to Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe has called British Prime Minister David Cameron "satanic" for considering withholding aid from countries that do not respect gay rights, a report says.

There you have it. World politics, gay rights, satan. All in a dirty mix.

Human behavior has its moments of laughter. And sarcasm. And nutters on the loose.

Throw out. Discovered. Dutch hardhitting punkrockers Harbour 81 came out of the ashes of Rotterdam band Second Chance. H81’s debut album “Live your dreams” was released in 2008 and has guest vocals by Breakdown’s Jeff Perlin and Blood For Bllod’s Buddha. Kickin’. Hardhittin’. Good stuff.
