Priorities... Priorities...


i should have been getting organised to move to an orphanage in malawi (madonna's looking for a girl now, i hear) but instead i went off with rebekit to watch moby... i just don't know what is good for me. the zimbabwean life expectancy is 37.8. becoming a ritchie would double it, just like that. no more aids, malaria or tb - it is too much for my doddery old mind (i just have a few more years, you think i could qualify for the seniors' rate at the movies?) i won't even have to worry about clean water - kabbalah water all the way. but no, i was practising my dance moves so that i can stand out when she makes her rounds. make no mistake, i'll be ready.

and if i doesn't work out with madonna, i know there will be others. others with big hearts and big wallets who know now that they can bend those rules archaically set to protect children. you have these rights groups shouting about child slavery and abuse and nonsense like that - it's all fiction. and anyone heading out to poverty-stricken nations has nothing but love and the desire to do great things like double life expectancies. we all know that government officials cannot be bought and always act in the interests of their citizens. so what? these groups wanted child services to be able to monitor the child and potential adopters for a whole 180 days, as is the law in malawi? you know no ones serious about adoption should have to go through all that. just the fact that one wants a desperate and ignored child is more than enough.

i am going back to practising my solo for when madonna visits my orphanage:
oh lordy my troubles so hard
oh lordy my troubles so hard
don't nobody know my troubles but god
don't nobody know my troubles but god...
and you moby!

I don't understand all the news going on about this. So she's trying to be Angelina? So what, let her! Any kind of life with the Kabbala Queen can't be worse than one in an orphanage, obviously.

So, you're Zimbabwean?

I LOVE THAT SONG!!!!!!

I am in such a jealous fever
over this Moby thing -
so next time he plays I
am coming to visit you and
hang out and then we can go
to Teany's and bless his little
heart, talk about him all night
long.

He looks cute in a suit.

Little munchkin.

Excellent photo's btw:)

hey erikku,
well, who knows about the news, that's all about making money by being dramatic. and, in my case it is not that madonna should not have a child. the fact that i can potentially have one is proof that the rules on all of that are very relaxed.
but, thankfully, there are rules to make sure that these kids do not go from one crap deal to another. the implication that having a lot of money and/or fame gives one permission to circumvent the rules, well that just seems too much like... well... the real world.

sophie, that song was my ringtone until a few days ago - when my phone would ring i would think - how morbid, but i still kept the ringtone.

lol! yeah... munchkin. next time you must totally come to visit. i was just reading the paper today and teany's was listed as a place to hang out. WE ARE SO GOING.

grrr! this is like the 3rd time i am trying to leave a comment here. the lord of the machines has been teaching me who is boss this week.

i had said that i have what probably would be called a walk in closet in vancouver but is referred to as a cozy second bedroom in new york city (the first is pretty cozy too). so come on down. we'll get all civilised and drink lots of tea and then get all raucous and rock the east village.

i am all about the mulitple personalities!

pandave said...

yeah, reb, those cheek kisses. we were both such bad groupies, we stood aside as others stepped forward to claim their hugs and kisses.

india, sophie, india. you cannot even begin to imagine how jealous i am.
