Yesterday I had a day off, on this blog I didn't post anything which may be nothing or something.
Yesterday, I spend my time sleeping (yes I was fatigue), I did some shopping (on a Monday the city is not crowded, shops open at 1 pm), and had my monitor examined at the computerstore.
In the centre of the city I had a quick look at my favorite disk-jockey, stand up comedian and entertainer Claudia de Breij.
She and her colleagues are presenting a 5 day 24 hours long radio-program in which people can buy their favorite songs to be broadcasted. The price depends on the taste of the jockey, the length of the song and how much one wants to offer.
You guess why the Dutch do that? It's for the good cause, for the people in Sudan, in the Darfur region.
The money will be spend on a Red Cross hospital.
To stress the suffering of the people there the jockeys won't eat for 5 days. They only drink fruit juices and Coca Cola.
They drink Coca Cola, the brand that stresses the American, European imperialistic society.In fact we are the protectionists who bring poverty in such regions.
I don't mean that's true for the Darfur region, but in large parts of Africa the local economy is partly ruined because we dump our subsidized products there.
And we protect our borders for their products with skyhigh taxes. To open our borders might be a solution to African problems.
I don't know if there are any Afro-American readers, but I tell you we suck Africa and you too if you like it or not. America and Europe being less protectionistic will help a lot.
And I got my christmas-box, filled with delicateses and 4 plates. It was so heavy. My employer surprized me a little.
This morning I woke up with a brand new day on the 5 days 24 hours no food marathon radioshow. To start the day with a first laugh. :)
