Miss Kolka

Hello, my name is Kolka and Im a News junkie.

"Hello Kolka"

I come before you because I am aware of my addiction, and I want to try to control it.

My case is not so uncommun. For instance yesterday I looked at the clock anxiously every 2 minutes for half an hour and waited for the time to be "off-news- o'clock" so I could finally turn on the television. I will admit it wasn't easy.. What about the three FARC hostages in Colombia, had they been released??? And What about the violence in Kenya? Would the opposition just take the more-than-probably rigged election results without a fight? I wanted to know so badly... so I turned on CNN "only for research purposes". And spent the next 12 hours glued to the screen.

Oh how bad it is, I know..

It is therefore with great regret that I announce that I will go on a one week news-cure trip in a land far far away. With no Tv, Radio (I will ask for a car specially without it) and especially no internet. Thank god my fellow and favourite news junkie is joining me on this trip... I hope we will find some kind of amuzement, some way of not being bored to death or falling back into habit on the Island of beauty... I hear they have goats and wild pigs.. only if I could record a newsworthy attack of one of these creatures and send it to the observers website or I-report.. no no.. Lets hope that the Island trip  offers more than beautiful landscapes, gorgeous food, interesting locations, great company and a perfect rest from all that is happening on the world stage. Its going to be sooo hard...

Farewell my lovely news..
