Oh to ramble on!

Will I always be able to talk as much interesting sounding rubbish as I generally do or will I lose this innate gift of the gab that has been bestowed upon me to be used on others whose gab is not so gabby and their minds and throats are a little more flabby in terms of their practice of wit and voice-box.

Sometimes though I fear that my muscular voice-box and stretchy wit will be the undoing of my unfortunate soul as the donkey whose hind leg I will be chatting off one day will decide to kick me in the teeth so as to quite the gabbing gook he sees before him in the form of I.

And then oh I, I shall have been persuaded to gab a little less and become a bit more of a flab in terms of my voice-box, but as someone famous once said "You can take our freedom! but you cannot take our sense of humor!"(If quoted incorrectly please forgive me as I have a notoriously bad memory for quotes! One wonders how I did so well in terms of English at school what with all those Shakespearean quotes and all that).

Enough of that and lets off to war as the old English lords would say. Today's war will be a rant against institutions that are trusted with the betterment of those of us who wish to further exercise our flab in terms of education and this time in specific I wish to aim the proverbial cannon at the one I am currently with, UNISA. Universes Nincompoops In South Africa or University of South Africa for short.

It is with institutes such as these that we leave our fates but what is it that we gain from them? An education yes, but not one related to the field of study into which you entered but rather an education as to the workings of a useless group of individuals whose only wish is to see the figure on their next paycheck increasing every month. We students (Who provide that paycheck) are but an afterthought and a nuisance to these important individuals who call themselves lecturers and tutors.

For myself it is almost impossible to get hold of these esteemed personages as none of their email addresses work, the phone lines are forever down and the website is akin to the maze in the move "Clash of the Titans 2". If I ever have a problem it is not these untouchables I go to but external sources such as my best friend Google who is an infinite number of times more reliable than these people I pay to help educate me, the best thing is that Google is free but unfortunately as it is unnecessary in every country to buy everything you need like your drivers licence, ID and qualifications I cannot use what Google teaches me for free as I have not paid for it and it is therefore worthless in the eyes of a society who requires payment for everything short of breathing.

I will have to grin and bear it as I have done many times in the past and continue to live with the bugs in the system as I have always done and on a parting note i will leave one of my poems with you to contemplate.

FOREVER NEVER

Will we ever be that which never was?Will that which never was ever be?Always will always never be and never will not always be ever.This means then that this that never was might then in ever still be.Or does it mean this that ever is someday never will be?Never will not always be ever and ever will always be never.
