I was at my desk. I was working. I was watching the television. I heard the news. I learnt that Bernie Mac had passed on.
I screamed. I shouted. I calmed down. I googled “Bernie Mac”. I confirmed the news. Officially, I am mourning the death of a lovely comedian. Never met the guy, but I make sure I do not miss his show on the tube.
Painful.
Some links.

Sunday morning, November 4 2007, 6am. I woke up and had this feeling that I was not going to go to church. I went back to sleep.
I woke up to hear my name is screamed. “What?”. “The landlord wants to see you”. “Not again? My generator is bad, so it can’t be that. My dogs did not make noise through out the night (or maybe they did). What could it be?”. Don’t blame me, this man only complains. He lives for it. And yes, I was right, it was a complaint. This time it was with regards to the water tank.
I heard some whispers, someone had died. My neighbours wife died over the night. He was called by his in-laws around some minutes past 12. She had been sick for months. Could not go to church.
Around 1pm, the burial was done (I did not attend). Around 3pm, her folks came to pack her belongings <- this is what I have issues with. The lady is dead barely 15 hours and the family were already fighting over her property.
A statement made included “we do not want another woman to use her property”. Oh stuff it somewhere the sun don’t shine. The head of the “mob” was her immediate younger brother who was living with them uptill a while ago. I am on this man’s side even if he is wrong (though I do not see how). The lady had some expensive things, agreed, but she was not working. Meaning that this same man was the buying this things for her, yet her family would insult him over them.
The marriage is less than 2 years and they had no kids.
I have seen things that I do not understand.
Many folks are saying the guy should skip the mourning and go ahead with looking for a new wife. What is your view?
I apologise the long delay in getting a new post out. I have been a little busy, have to put food on the table, otherwise I would starve to death. Just kidding, no dying yet.
