Urgent cry for help

I arrived at my hostel and did my usual routine. When I got a chance to check the internet, I visited a few sites that I haven't seen for a while. Myspace, bbc. I wanted to blog about the exciting day that I have just had. But let me paraphrase it: We met up with some really cool Germans, we are doing Kruger park with them in a very cool microbus, and we are in the bush.

But something more urgent has come up and I need to blog and let my friends and family know I need their help.

Is Kobe asking for a trade?

Zach, Dave, Jeff, Sheila, even Patrick (although I'm warning you Patrick, be gentle, our friendship is on the line), write me a few very long, detailed emails about what is going on. I need facts, rumours, details, etc.

Kobe, if you are reading this (and I did send him the link)... WTF? And if it is true, and I believe that if it is true you must have a good reason for asking out, than consider... just consider, the Nuggs. We need you.

Yes, I am in Africa, with my friend and sister, but this... this is as big as it gets for me. I don't know if I can enjoy the rest of my trip, knowing what is going on in the mother city.
