Flirting is Still Legal

-

Deion Sanders and Tracey Edmonds. It was flirting at first sight. Ha! Ha!
They told the story in a video on August 9 his birthday.

There’s a lot of flirting going on in the world. That’s why we have no time for kids that disturb us when we are punching our cellphones, with smiles that outshine the sun. But that’s not flirting, because the dictionary says it occurs between two live human beings.

Woman: It’s a pleasure to meet you.

Man: The pleasure is all mine.

The man’s response is press the clutch, then move car to first gear. Any well-raised man will say: Me too, pleased to meet you. The pleasure is all mine man has things on his mind about what he sees and the hand he doesn’t want to release. He’s on future hand-holding mode, like Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle. The car is in second gear when the woman smiles at the fine, pleasure is all mine.

Flirting happens in a crowded place, where other people are mingling and greeting. It is flirting because these two seem oblivious to the fact. My favorite flirting story took place between Tracey Edmonds and Deon Sanders ‘Coach Prime.’ It was August 9, his birthday. She flew to Boulder to wish the birthday boy, happy ‘born day’ as they say in Zulu, in South Africa.

The video is hilarious because they describe how they met and how devious Tracey was. It was flirting at first glance. Deion Sanders has always loved Deion Sanders and knows what Deion Sanders wants. Tracey came into the room, at a Jumping The Broom after party. That was it. Only the best for Deion Sanders. Tracey was it. She was fit for him. She also liked what she saw, and as they say, the rest is history. I understand they are history now but that’s not my problem. I’ll keep watching Coach Prime’s birthday with Tracey. I need some feel-good stories since the world is so messed up.

Flirting is still legal. The only condition is, no phone numbers and dinner dates. Reality spoils everything. Flirting is a memory, but not a fleeting memory. It is chiselled in the mind. The man who said the pleasure is all mine, and the woman who smiled back and still wonders where he is.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Einstein Passengers

Being a passenger is very stressful.   You must listen to the owner of the car, nod and grumble yes to everything he says because you don’t want to piss him off. Two things can happen if you disagree with the driver: he can lose concentration and you all end up in a mash-up accident or stop the car and ask you to get out.   That is the driver’s prerogative.   You must listen to me if you are a passenger in my car.   Let’s flip the script for a minute and sympathise with the driver if she has a passenger who is more intelligent than Albert Einstein. He talks non-stop.   It is all about himself, how right he is, how good he is, how stupid his boss is. Einstein is also a driving instructor.   “Careful.   Look at that guy.   Is he crazy or something? ” says Einstein. Einstein is the unofficial pilot.   He presses imaginary brakes in the passenger seat when the driver stops abruptly for a guy who is texting on his bicycle. A certain Einstein took it to another level.   S
