AFCON 2013 is upon us, but gosh what a terrible theme song

Today I realised that the Orange Africa Cup of Nations 2013 AFCON 2013 (or CAN 2013 if you are Francophone) will be kicking off in exactly 2 weeks in South Africa and unlike most guys my first thought was not towards how the teams are getting on with their preparations but about what theme song was chosen (my beloved Uganda Cranes where very narrowly prevented from qualifying by the Zambians, which explains my lack of enthusiasm for the tournament).

I thought of the theme song because I liked the one for AFCON 2012 (and I even had a few nice words to write about it) so naturally I expected another catchy and uplifting tune-the kind that makes you feel good and makes you want to be part of the whole football experience. Sela Sela by Zahra Universe and Wes Madiko is not such a song.

I cannot seem to find anything to like about it. From the "tribal"dances (when will people get over this) to the bland uninspiring lyrics to .....You know what? You guys make up your minds about it. Maybe I am just grumpy this morning, but I doubt its just me.

Happy New Year 2013

As I settle into 2012 I have decided to pay some long overdue attention to this blog of mine. In fact, one of my (many) resolutions this year is to be a more active blogger. I happen to think it is quite an achievable one but that remains to be seem. The blog realignment is under way and my Idle Cogitations will start taking on a less random nature as the year goes by (I hope).

Here's to a Happy and Prosperous 2013. May it be full of whatever you all want it to be full of.
