Monopoly

Ahhh monopoly, my most favorite board game ever. Time consuming yet time well wasted, a game of luck and strategy. I love to start by buying up the three gray colored houses next to the jail and building hotels or gaining control of all the airports or railroad stations. I love calculating all my moves based on the probability of rolling a seven on the dice. But most of all, I just love it when ur bankrupt and even after transferring all ur property to me, u still have to leave the game. So cool. So fucking cool .

According to the world’s most personalized dictionary, Wikipedia, "monopoly (from Greek monos / μονος (alone or single) + polein / πωλειν (to sell)) exists when a specific individual or an enterprise has sufficient control over a particular product or service to determine significantly the terms on which other individuals shall have access to it. Monopolies are thus characterized by a lack of economic competition for the good or service that they provide and a lack of viable substitute goods. The verb "monopolize" refers to the process by which a firm gains persistently greater market share than what is expected under perfect competition. It’s also the most commercially-successful board game in United States history, with 485 million players worldwide"

Wow! having ur way regardless of what’s expected under perfect competition must be cool. I get an intellectual boner just by thinking of it. Isn’t that just cool?

But, for now I’m so fucking pissed. Wamise is a monopoly and thus sees it fit to sell crap at exorbitant prices, u can’t afford to call me a cheapskate just because I’m ranting about stuff like this. It doesn’t make any fucking sense. It’s the same thing with AUN’s crappy service, offering shitty levels of service quality for increasingly exorbitant prices. Why? Because they are a fucking monopoly. It prides itself on being the only private university offering American style education (or not) in sub Saharan West Africa… crap crap crap.

Like the board game the only way out is to either leave the game or get ur own monopoly(ies). I can’t wait to graduate, and then start up my own crappy monopolistic institution. Don’t really care what it will be but it must be shitloads of fun being the only provider of a good or service. Ur customers may rant their hearts out but it doesn’t matter shit to you because in the end, they all come back. (Now O.O, becos I know ur reading this, this is what u call a personal post). May 16 2010 here I come; May God and his army of female Spartan angels see me through to that day, Amen.
