shake shake it off

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to
Getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone.. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!

but i survived it and after the lecture all these stranger were cuming up to me saying 'shame hildah'...so ya,everybody in Strategis Management knows my name...ah well. wharried,its over and next class i'm gonna find myself a dark corner and rivert back to disappearing into the woodwork...
crazy stuff...

so steve irwin's gone...


talk about shock, horror when i heard the news hey...like seriously touched hey! i dont know why tho but i cant explain it hey...maybe coz i saw him last year when i was at australia zoo in july on my visit to lindy. i was woken up this morning by a sms from anna...yeah anna u woke me up!!!hahaha nah it was cool,i needed to study anyway so it was all good...back to the point, so at 4am my 1st thot was just 'poor steve', like i was gonna get up and post an entry ryt there and then but i thot nah, i'll leave it til now.
so ystrday morning i'm sitting there with my sista watching tv and 4 some reason we tuned to the discovery channel and started watching crocodile hunter(which we have never done b4so it was strange). there he was picking up deadly spitting cobras and enjoying every minute of it and there's me and sandra dissing him and say the dude is a fool and crazy etc...little do we know that around abt that exact time a stingray has pierced his heart in Cairns.me i reckon thats why i watched that show ystrday...ndanga ndirikuto ona kuti hectic.
so i went off to uni and came back arnd 4:30pm and my sis calls me from work(which she never does) and says'steve's dead'. so i'm like huh..steve who? steve irwin, i'm like nah u joking and she's like 4 real! she was also touched! so i run and turn the tv on and 4 sho the dude is dead! u shld've seen me...i'm like shaking my head and mubbling to myself kuti shame,poor dude.
ko wat abt the poor kids man, when he died he was actually shooting part of a documentary he was doing with his 7yr old daughter Bindi(named afta a croc of course).

okay enuff abt steve...one would think he was part of my family...but on the news they said evryone is feeling like that arnd aus so it aint jus me...
anyway...RIP Stavo...Aussie Zoo will never be the same again
