Writers get writers block; athletes get injuries; celebrities get overdosed on drugs and alcohol and are sent to rehab. What do young inspiring bloggers get? I don’t know but I had it. I’ve had it for almost two years but it has now been miraculously cured like Michael Phelps’ marijuana crisis. My writer’s drive has sprung up faster than Britney’s hair, oh wait; I meant to say faster than Usain

So another school year has begun and I'm well into the academic trance that all students get into when September approaches. I've established my goals and given myself resolutions for this year but as well all know, because I'm a normal 19 year old male those resolutions don't last past september 30, the last day of the month. The weather here in this little town of North Bay, Ontario, where this

Before coming to North Bay, Ontario for school, I had never considered myself as a minority. Infact, I considered myself apart of the majority because living in Brampton, east of Toronto, I saw many people and things that I could relate to as well as be apart of. Now that I'm living here in the northern parts of Ontario there are a lot of things that I do not and cannot relate to; like what? Well

The 2010 World Cup of Soccer is not but a little under 3 years away but I still can't seem to stop thinking about it. The whole world's attention will be placed directly on the most diverse and most beautiful continent in this world but the sad part of this is that only 5 African nations are going to be represented at these festivities; very depressing.The 2010 World Cup of soccer is not but a

Is there too much freedom for criminals in Africa?! This is the question I asked myself this morning as i was reading a headline story on the BBC News website labeled 'Gunmen seize Nigerian MP's mother. ' The headline caught me by surprise and made me raise an eye brow, i would have raised both eyebrows if i had the ability to. I shook my head, had a little giggle and said to myself: "only in

This article is one that will combine a series of interviews that i have and will be having, within the next week or so, with African youths who are living abroad. I find it necessary to see how other African youths feel about the mother land as well as their views on living in a country that is not entirely theirs. I will interview both males and females, making sure to include those born abroad

Quoting one professor at the Christian College, an evangelist once said to me, "No one man can compete with an African when it comes to quoting scripture, but when it comes to practicing those quotes it's a totally different issue."This made me think and as I was deeply bombarding my mind with many thoughts I came to the conclusion that the professor is somewhat in error in regards to the second

A new page in our book has been opened, and Africa, it is now time to take the world by storm! a new day and age has arrived and we shall no longer be on the defensive but on full attack mode. This is indeed a bold statement but one only needs to stop, take a look around and realize that the ball is truly in Africa's court now. Africa has not always been as deprived as the western
