| 12th November 2008 SCHMOE | ... - From: Wait...you mean we were supposed to be going to class this whole time? Snails see the benefits, the beauty in every inch oh why, why whwhwhwhy , you're quick to kiss....lalalalalalalalala |
| 7th November 2008 SCHMOE | blah - From: Dear Barack... I got half way through the second paragraph at which point I could no longer take the homosexuality. This Africa trip has turned you into Richard Simmons. Your not African so respect your heritage as a white American! |
| 3rd November 2008 Corey | still lacking - From: Obama-rama though i appreciate it, there is actually a way to publicly divulge your info by not actually publicizing it. its a rather simple technique i have picked up, you create a draft in a chat room, or email, but you dont send it and save it as a draft. then the next person logs on and looks and chat and you delete it. then there is no record. smart huh? ps. i think the africans have a lot with bush since they both like war haha |
| 27th October 2008 Chris | Funny story, but... - From: A Cheesehead in Paradise Hi Eric, some parts of you story are quite funny, especially after having been to Jokers in Accra myself. It is an absolute odd place, old white men playing sticks with semi professionals. But you should have avoided the morals in the end, esp the one about breaking into African peoples' mind to stop HIV and to change their culture. That is a bit arrogant, but that's perhaps how western education is: wanting to change everything, what from your own higher ground is considered as not up to the standard. I have never heard an African saying to break into a Europeans' mind to change his thinking patterns. HIV is of course a threat to Africa, but every awareness raising or behavior change programme from USAID etc. has failed so far, because they are too naive. Africans will find their own solutions, I guess - or not! But Western intervention will definitely not stop HIV in Africa. By the way, these semi professionals are doing their job, because they want to wear expensive imported luxury cloths and look like Beyonce. Cheers Chris PS: Why does a white girl need to save you from prostitutes - can't you do it yourself?! |
| 22nd October 2008 Judas | - From: Where the hell is my spoon full of sugar? I am quite sadden by the news of no facial hair, what am i going to run my hands through on your face. PS. Now i can no longer be your judas to your jesus. At least i can still be brutus to your ceasar. |
| 17th October 2008 Caroline | Interesting - From: Can I get the mango? The one the size of a human head. Once again, thanks for an amusing blog. Hooray for Ghana. Nice to have your point of view. Nice to see lots of Americans getting an African experience. Getting in there and living the life! Good for you. |
| 17th October 2008 Caroline | Just a thank you for actually noticing - From: Can I get the mango? The one the size of a human head. I would like to thank you for your comment you made about what you experienced in Chez Afrique and in Ghana. It is something I have talked about for many years. It is so nice to go out and see people of all colours and nations young and old sitting together and having a good time. Yes, Ghana is very developed when it comes to that. We can accept anyone and everyone into our society and enjoy just being. |
| 17th October 2008 Kelcie Atkin | - From: Hallowed be my name i miss you. a lot. |
| 16th October 2008 Daniel | I'm impressed - From: Hallowed be my name I was born in Ghana and moved to the US about 10 years ago and I must say I'm impressed with your ability to hustle with Ghanaians and refusing to get screwed by trotro drivers and almost getting in fights! you are one tough Obroni! I like reading blogs like these just to see how other people see Ghana, kinda trying to get other people's perception of the country. Good read! keep blogging! I was a huge Hearts of Oak soccer fan in Ghana, but now I bleed green. GOO PHILADELPHIA EAGLES!!! |
| 16th October 2008 Hilary | Punk Blunt - From: A Crippled Paris Yeah, so I don't quite believe you made James Blunt punk rock. I need proof. Added question: were you drunk? On a side note: weird that you would mention a dead squid. But i guess you remember what you remember =). |
| 23rd September 2008 hunybuny | Insert Title Here - From: Footloose Ain't Got Nothin' On Me So I've missed two calls from you. One was today. I was at work and my pants starting vibrating. I looked at the number and saw it was approx. 24 digits so i instantly realized that it was coming from a foreign country. after doing some process of elimination i came to the realization that eric was calling me. As I picked up my phone the battery literally died. Terrible timing by the phone's part. So anyways, I'm sure I'll talk to you at some point. By the way. I think that Sarah Palin is a phenomenal choice. Don't give me that experience argument as Palin is the only one out of four President/VP candidates that has Executive office experience... BURN! Also, the condo is doing well, but still very lonely. There's been a few times where I've almost locked a roommate, but it's always gone sour at the last minute. Plus I'm extremely busy right now with tons of classes/homework/work/HOA elections. By the way, there's only two of us running for the position so I'm in a good position to win... yee-haw!. Corey told me that you guys got the cowboys-packers game on tv last night.... hopefully not because that was by far, the packers worst game of the season. Good thing i was at work because it was something i didn't really want to witness. Other than that game, the packers have been really good. Also, you missed the final game at yankee stadium last night, which they won. Also, nevada football got spanked by missu last week, 69-17. Missu scored on ten straight possessions. But yeah, hopefully we'll finally be able to connect on the phone at some point. It would be nice. |
| 8th September 2008 corey | - From: Dance obrunni dance I just wanted to burst your bubble and say that I'm sure tons of Africans walk across the canopy of the African rain forest, so I don't think you are special. haha and I understand what you mean with the earth room, I totally got a visual plus I played the music to make it better! |
| 5th September 2008 hunybuny | thought you should know... - From: What happens in Larabonga stays in Larabonga That there's been big news while you've been gone. Chad Johnson has legally changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco... no joke... it's going to be on the back of his jersey on Sunday |
| 5th September 2008 Laura | - From: My white man is bigger than your white man. NO MORE STORIES! lol. and what kind of cookies? Ill need to use your kitchen but im sure carr wont mind as long as i give him some cookies. i wonder how long it takes for packages to get there. i know it only took about a week for cookies to get to my dad when he was in Iraq but they might speed things up for the military. |
| 5th September 2008 Laura | - From: No, I don't need a drum bag. WHAAAAT?! no malls in trees? :[ haha |
| 5th September 2008 Laura | - From: I like your bodee aww poor man :[ i hope you turned him down in a nice way (if that's possible) lol |
| 4th September 2008 Kelcie Atkin | - From: What happens in Larabonga stays in Larabonga First off...Laura says "stop being a drama queen." And my I just point out that your "nickname" for this blog is "ichaselions" and your goal is to get a picture pulling on a lions tail..yet so far you have run from an elephant and a monkey has rattled you up. Somehow I think the whole lion thing...you're definitely not ready. I have yet to think of something i would like from Africa..im not sure what's cool they have there...BUT Laura would like to request a black baby...she thinks they are the cutest of all the baby races.. |

| 27th August 2008 Schmoeeeeeeee!!!! | OoOoOoOhh Jeebus christ! - From: God loves you and doesn't want you to be destroyed at the end of time! eheh..Director of durable solutions sounds like a scientist who works at a paper towel company |
| 22nd August 2008 Hilary | Bum fat - From: Excuse me, do you know where I can find the coffee shop? So in your expert opinion, has this bead channeling worked? What is the campus like? Do you have actual classrooms or are you in huts of some sort? =) |
| 19th August 2008 Corey | - From: My white man is bigger than your white man. um i never said that they were good at basketball, come on, think of the tard from the mavericks, he is tall and terrible so you better be dominating them. you gotta show them that white man got game cause we cant jump. by the way im buying the jesus phone today. |
| 16th August 2008 Dave | - From: No, I don't need a drum bag. I want to point out that at the bottom of this page, there is a nice banner advertisement saying: MEET CENTRAL AFRICAN WOMEN. So, that begs the question: Have you met any nice central african women yet?? |
| 14th August 2008 anonymous | - From: No, I don't need a drum bag. i feel so special again with another mention of my name, i'm getting pretty famous here. |
