My Best Cartoons Series of All Time..

My young sister keeps mocking me that am getting childish despite of me being more than two decades old,she thinks after childhood one should not involve himself in watching cartoons,it took time for me to educate her what are the importance of watching cartoons even after one's childhood..

• The Simpson (1989-present)

For over 20 years, The Simpsons has been part of most American’s homes and it is the greatest cartoon that has ever been made.Even my Grand dad likes the Simpson ,for some reason its now the longest-running scripted show in television history. This American adult animated sitcom created by Matt Groening has broadcast 528 episodes and the twenty-fourth season ended on May 19, 2013. The Simpsons is the longest-running American sitcom, the longest-running American animated program.

• Tom and Jerry 

 

The most famous cartoon of all time,Tom and Jerry is loved by everyone,may it be kids or adults..For over 70 years this cartoon has helped many families to warm their coaches.The original series is notable for having won seven Academy Awards, tying with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies as the theatrical animated series with the most Oscars. A longtime television staple, Tom and Jerry has a worldwide audience and has been recognized as one of the most famous and longest-lived rivalries in American cinema.The series features comedic fights between an iconic set of enemies, a house cat and mouse.

• The Real Ghost Busters .

Why lie,i used to hide my face under a pillow,some scenes sure frightened me..The series follows the continuing adventures of The Ghostbusters, secretary Janine, accountant Louis, and their mascot Slimer, as they chase and capture rogue spirits around New York and various other areas of the world.

• Looney Tunes

  

The Looney Tunes franchise brought us some of the most famous characters in the history of animation.  Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Sylvester and Tweety, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, The Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote, Marvin the Martian, Foghorn Leghorn, Pepe Le Pew, Speedy Gonzalez, theTasmanian Devil and many more. The most popular Looney Tunes character, Bugs Bunny, is regarded as a cultural icon and has appeared in more films than any other cartoon character. Several Looney Tunes shorts are regarded as some of the greatest animated cartoons of all time.

• The Pinky and the brain

  

The characters Pinky and the Brain first appeared in 1993 as a recurring segment on the show Animaniacs.

Pinky and Brain are genetically enhanced laboratory mice who reside in a cage in the Acme Labs research facility. Brain is self-centered and scheming; Pinky is good-natured but feebleminded. In each episode, Brain devises a new plan to take over the world, which ultimately ends in failure, usually due to Pinky's idiocy, the impossibility of Brain's plan, Brain's own arrogance, or just circumstances beyond their control. 

• The Flintstones

It’s so old, that the first two seasons were actually in black and white.Really Black and white? prime-time American television sitcom that was broadcast from September 30, 1960, to April 1, 1966, on ABC...The show is set in the Stone Age town of Bedrock. (In some of the earlier episodes, it was also referred to as "Rockville".) In this fantasy version of the past, dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths, and other long-extinct animals co-exist with cavemen. Like their mid-20th century counterparts, these cavemen listen to records, live in split-level homes, and eat out at restaurants, yet their technology is made entirely from pre-industrial materials and largely powered through the use of animals. For example, the cars are made out of stone, wood, and animal skins, and powered by the passengers' feet (as in the theme song, "Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet").

• The Jetsons

Believe it or not but it was the first program ever to be broadcast in color on ABC-TV,The Jetsons are a family residing in Orbit City in the year 2062.The city's architecture is rendered in the Googie style, and all homes and businesses are raised high above the ground on adjustable columns. George Jetson lives with his family in the Skypad Apartments: his wife Jane is a homemaker, their teenage daughter Judy attends Orbit High School, and their early-childhood son Elroy attends Little Dipper School. Housekeeping is seen to by a robot maid, Rosie.

• Cow and Chicken

The program focuses on the misadventures of two unlikely yet somehow biological siblings; the sweet-natured, dim, ecstatic anthropomorphic Cow and her cynical elder brother Chicken. The series is set in an eccentric, surreal environment and humored with laughably grotesque, repulsive comedy and animation, and revolves around the surreal, strange escapades experienced by Cow and Chicken that are often triggered by their odd, naked enemy the Red Guy.I personally like chicken...

• Wacky Races

  

Hanna-Barbera hits again on my list,It featured over 23 different characters, (which today would all be voiced by 2 people) all racing in various races across America.The cars racing against each other in various road rallies throughout North America, with each driver hoping to win the title of the "World's Wackiest Racer.One of my best..

• The Transformers

  

The series depicts a war among giant robots that can transform into vehicles and other objects. Written and recorded in America, the series was animated in Japan and South Korea..My best character was Optimus Prime.

• Captain Planet

  

I cant forget this,captain planet always would say "by our powers combine",Gaia, the spirit of the Earth sends five magic rings, four with the power to control an element of nature and one controlling the element of Heart, to five chosen youths across the globe: Kwame from Africa, Wheeler from North America, Linka from the Soviet Union (changed to Eastern Europe after the Soviet Union's collapse), Gi from Asia, and Ma-Ti from South America.In situations that the Planeteers cannot resolve alone, they can combine their powers to summon Captain Planet, a super hero.The Planeteers cannot use their rings while Captain Planet has been summoned.

• Double Dragons

  

The Lee brothers separated at birth, with Billy being raised by an elderly martial arts master known as the Oldest Dragon. In contrast, his brother Jimmy is raised by the evil Shadow Master to become his second-in-command, the Shadow Boss. As a result, the Lee brothers meet each other as adversaries after being reunited as adults. By the end of the second episode, Jimmy is betrayed by the Shadow Master, which leads to Jimmy seeing the error of his ways and joining his brother to battle against the Shadow Master.The Lee brothers made use of magical swords which contained special powers and added dragon masks to the brothers' outfit.

• The Super friends

  

I would say a great combination ,we had superman ,batman and other Heroes,this is among my best super hero series of all time,Superman joined forces with other Hero's to fight against crime...popular heroes in this series are Batman,Robin and Superman ..the rest heroes mostly appeared on comic books only.

• Archer

 

An adult TV series that each episode will never disappoint you ,Set at ISIS, the International Secret Intelligence Service in New York City, suave and incredibly self-centered master spy Sterling Archer deals with global espionage; his domineering, emotionally-cold mother and boss, Malory Archer; his ex-girlfriend (and fellow ISIS agent), Lana Kane; and his other ISIS co-workers (including fellow agent Ray Gillette, accountant Cyril Figgis, Human Resources Director Pam Poovey, secretary Cheryl Tunt, and Applied Research head Doctor Krieger); as well as a less-than-masculine code name: "Duchess" (after his mother's deceased Afghan Hound).

• Family Guy  

 

A Seth Macfarlane adult series,The series centers on the Griffins, a dysfunctional family consisting of parents Peter and Lois; their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie; and their anthropomorphic pet dog Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island, and exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture.My favorite character is Stewie, Stewie is a diabolical infant son of ambiguous sexual orientation who has adult mannerisms and uses stereotypical archvillain phrases.

• South Park

  

an American adult animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the show has become famous for its crude language and dark, surreal humor that lampoons a wide range of topics. The ongoing narrative revolves around four boys—Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick—and their bizarre adventures in and around the titular Colorado town.

  My list is lacking some of the cartoons,but the mentioned are the one i surely prefer,if you think there others that i should have added don't hesitate to comment.

Why Every young man should Dress well..

 

I always think that every man should dress well since it improves your self esteem ,today am to speak of my fellow blooming friends,i always say being young is a crucial stage ,i think dressing well at a young age is so crux.I don't mean to say Old-man shouldn't dress to kill ,many of them old dudes have a well fixed wardrobe and they know how to put on those tuxedo's .

I welcome argument for this post since not every young dude out there thinks of dressing perfectly well ,and their those who think its so OK looking like crap..so here are some reasons that make me arguably think all men should dress well.



Dressing well improves your self esteem/it improves inordinately or exaggeratedly favorable impression of oneself.

 

Believe it or not, it helps keep things in perspective.  You live in your clothes.  Things will happen to your clothes.  At some point you’re going to spill something on a favorite pair of shoes or shirt… and y’know what?  It’s just stuff.
 
 

Dressing well makes people take you so serious even if they really don't know who you are.
 
 

Dressing well will make you gain trust from different elderly people,as young as you are dressing 
smart might bring you more deals than you ever expected.
 
 

We have heard of cities where policeman just roam around to pick on those who look like crap,thinking they are burglars..dressing well will save you from this.
 
 

Your hand shake will seem stronger.
 
 

flawless Beautiful girls will all think you are a real man,and you will easily have of your choice.
 
 

You get more attention when you visit any office may it be Bank,Zantel Shop,Law Firm or even KFC.

                                               
 
 

Your ex girlfriend will always seem regretful ,thinking you have become a better man not that boy 
who used to drop his pants and wearing a Fitch stripped vest,with countless number of fake gold hanging.
 
 

Dressing well makes you 40% more handsome
 
 

Sometimes you will get more offers on drinks and lunch.
                               

Everyone will want to hangout with you,they all think your super awesome.

 

With a smile and confident eye contact, you can look like you belong just about anywhere.

 

Girls will think you own a fortune in that tuxedo,they will always think you are that super millionaire.

 
 It’s about potential.  Most want to max out their personal potential.  Maximizing your potential, at surface level, often includes how you present yourself.  That includes your clothes.  And they certainly don’t have to be expensive to help you reach the level of confidence you deserve.

 
Shining a great pair of shoes is sort of like hand washing a really cool car.

 

Pals will always want you to help them pick up some costumes,some will ask you to design their wedding outfits ..you don't believe this ask Sheria Ngowi.
.
 

Some girls find it sexy when we take off our blazers/jackets..
 

As a younger guy, you give all those older gentlemen hope.
 

 

Bartenders seem to keep a good eye on you for when you need another drink.


You can easily pick up a lie...You can tell people you are a manager at a certain firm and they will always trust you. 


What else do you think is missing?? comment!!

Big Brother Africa All About Coupling

Since day one, Sierra Leone’s Bolt and Ethiopia’s beauty Betty have shared a bed. Since then they have done a lot more than share a bed. From jealous lovers to making out, the pair have done it all only for them to be separated on Sunday when Betty was evicted from the Big Brother Africa (BBA) house.

Holding on to each other so tight, it was sad to watch the two bid each other farewell. Now Bolt has to plot for another game plan. It makes you think that maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing that LK4 and Koketso were evicted on the same day. Also evicted on Sunday was Botswana’s Motamma. Her exit was nothing to write home about simply because she has not been paired up with anyone unlike her other housemates.

Coupling is what BBA critics are against the most because it encourages housemates to make out which seems to be the only thing on most of this year’s housemates’ minds. Some of the scenes in BBA The Chase are too sensual that they are not aired on the main BBA channel 198 and can only be viewed on Big Brother VIP.

Some don’t even make it there. It goes without saying that such increases the show’s rating. The introduction of the award for the most romantic gestures and the rendezvous room for couples and friends, provide more avenues for intimacy. From a critic’s eye, that means more immorality. Big Brother seems to be encouraging it. And the fact that housemates are moved from house to house making them change who to pair with frequently doesn’t help matters.

The couples

So we have Feza who has moved on from only holding hands with Oneal to kissing. Theirs seemed real only for her to declare her love for Melvin on Saturday when housemates from both houses partied together.
And word in the Big Brother circles is that Selly made out with Nando and yet on Saturday, she eagerly told Sulu (the two flirted a lot when in the same house) that she misses him and can’t wait to switch houses to his on Friday.

Pokello who is being pursued by Elikem was on Saturday flirting endlessly with the handsome Tanzanian housemate Nando. Elikem is also pursuing Fatima. Africa hadn’t seen him clearly when it gave the title of player to LK4. There’s also Hakeem and Cleo and many others. Without forgeting the "friend with benefits" thing between Nando and Selly. As the days go by, we should be seeing more couples and change of pairs. Whether this is a good or bad thing, is a personal opinion.

---------------------

Romantic Gestures
Week one: Hakeem asked Cleo on a date which scored them victory in that week.
Week two: Koketso and LK4 were the winners for the strawberries and cream treat she fed him.
Week three: Hakeem’s gifts to Cleo in the Rendezvous Room won that week’s most romantic Gesture.
Week four: The battle is between Bimp’s piggyback rides for Beverly and Elikem’s surprise breakfast in bed treat for Pokello.

Bongo So Called Star Search

So this year’s, EBSS is back with the motto  'KAMUA' will take place in six regions which are Mbeya, Arusha, Zanzibar, Mwanza, Dodoma and Dar es Salaam.

I have been watching the show since the first season and I just love that it has created a lot of stars, really wish i remembered their names . I would hate to see the show die because it has sentimental meaning to so many Tanzanians,since it can be that desired platform to probable stardom.

Over the years,without any notable mainstream contestant the show has gain more popularity maybe largely to the hefty pockets of its main sponsor or Madam Ritha's exquisite charms. Nonetheless I believe this year around they will be able to see their negativity and maybe manage to overcome them. We just need a superstar out of the show.

Off course its plain sight their ordinary ensemble of judges has become boring and their rather repetitious in their empty comments. Maybe they should bring in somebody new to add that extra excitement. It won't be bad if Madam Ritha herself steps down and put somebody more dynamic as a judge, since she is the CEO i don't think it will put any strain in her finances compared to the rest of the judges. 

However the show is still of a large significance in our country and if improved it will benefit the country as whole. Maybe i just want to see something like the Coca Cola pop star, that cheap contest which paved the way to stardom for Shaa, Witness and Langa (RIP)..Its just sad and funny seeing the winners of Bongo Star Search directionless and surprisingly still poor, whereas the sponsors,directors and other internal personnel laugh straight to the bank in the end of the day

"Clouds" The Most Moving Song Ever

"When faced with months to live, how do you say goodbye?" Like so many other terminally ill cancer patients before him, Zach Sobiech turned to music. Though in this instance, the 17-year-old musician from Lakeland, Minn. is facing his situation with a touching song, titled "Clouds."

After battling bone cancer for three years, Minnesota teenager Zach Sobiech was told this past May that the disease had spread and that there were no longer any effective treatments available.

In response to this disheartening diagnosis, Sobiech embraced music as a way of bidding farewell to his friends and family. The resulting song, titled "Clouds," is an inspirational and courageous message of hope in the face of a harrowing

 Zach Sobiech passed away May 20, 2013. Our hearts and prayers are with his family and friends. We are forever touched by his story. Thank you for sharing your life and music with us Zach. You will be dearly missed and loved.

 Beautiful song that I'll hum forever. What a talented boy whose bravery and grace have left a big mark on this world. How many people who live into old age can make that claim?

Types of Traditional African Jewelry

Precious stones, such as diamonds and jade, as well as precious metals, such as gold and silver, are common in jewelry around the world. What about in Africa? How many types of African jewelry - jewelry originating in Africa, or made in Africa, or worn in Africa - do you know?

1. Beads


Beadwork is common across Africa. Famous for their beadwork, made into necklaces and bangles or arm bands, are the Maasai and the Samburu of Kenya, as well as South Africans.

2. Bone



Bone is an excellent material for carving earrings, necklaces and even bangles. Bone is usually animal bone, readily available from slaughter houses. Bone is an excellent replacement for ivory, the use of which endangers the existence of elephants.

3. Clay
 

Red or white clay can be formed into beads, to make earrings, necklaces and arm bands. Clay jewelry can also be painted into any colours of choice.


4. Animal Teeth


Like bone, animal teeth are an excellent replacement for ivory, and are readily available at slaughter houses.

5. Metals

Many African cultures do have a tradition of metal work. The Hima women of southern Africa, for example, wear heavy metal bands around the feet and the arms. Metals used for jewelry in Africa include copper, iron, bronze, gold or silver. In west Africa, gold smithing is a well-developed art, with elaborate pieces of jewelry being fashioned out of gold.
Bronze was also used for forms of art such as statues.

6. Plant Material



Plant material is a favourite source of jewelry, because the materials are cheap and readily available. Earrings and arm bands can be plaited or woven out of straw, rushes or banana leaves.
My favourite earrings ever (and they have lasted over 25 years!) are made of neatly plaited banana leaf.

7. Stone



Sandstone is a type of stone found mainly in eastern Kenya. It is soft and easy to carve, into figures and statures, but also into earrings and arm bands. Sandstone can be painted into colours of choice after carving.

8. Horn



Animal horn is a favourite material for making jewelry in Africa, because the colour of earrings or necklaces carved from horn is distinctive, and varies in an unpredictable - and therefore interesting - way. Additionally, animal horn is readily available at a low cost.

9. Wood



Wooden jewelry is common and beloved in Africa. Wood can be painted or varnished at will, after carving. Wood makes beautiful wide arm bands or bangles, large but light earrings and elegant necklaces.

10. Leather




Leather work is well-developed in Africa, especially for making furnishings and bags. But leather is also used to fashion arm bands, woven necklaces and even earrings. The leather comes from domestic animals, and occasionally, wild life.

12. Feathers



Birds such as peacocks, cranes, flamingoes and ostriches have beautiful feathers in uniques colours and quality, which are occasionally fashioned into earrings. Caution is in order, however, so as not to endanger the various bird species.


13. Animal Hair


Earrings and arm bands made of plaited wild life hair, such as elephant or giraffe hair are rare, and valued accordingly.



14. Ivory


Despite all international effort to deter it, ivory does find its way into the hands of artisans, who fashion figures and jewelry out of it, sometimes illegally. When one considers the cost in elephant lives and suffering, it is clear that horn, animal teeth and bone are better alternatives.


15. Precious stone



Of course there is precious stone in Africa too. Diamonds, tanzanite, jasper, opals, topaz and quarz, out of which beautiful jewelry are made.

Most African jewelry tend to be flamboyant and inexpensive...
