Campaigns.....
Why lie im a diehard Kibaki supporter, since parties dont mean much in this our Kenya, the party our dear president runs on really doesnt matter, provided he gets back to state house!
Hell ive even been spotted sproting a nice, light, feather weight, poor material, shrink and fade once washed PNU and Kibaki Tena t-shirt. I can even go on and engage any anti kibaki supporter why he/she supports whoever he/she(ok this is tiring, can i just use he? Thankyou!!) supports!
But never ever ever would i raise a finger on him so as to drive a point!!
Like he would suddenly support Kibaki if i hit him!
Now this is where it gets wierd, people would actually kill you if you support a rival camp, is this madness or what!!!
Raphael Wanjala if im not mistaken is an Assistant Minister for water, his vehicle was stopped at a roadblock full of Pangas, rungus and whips, in my opinion the whole nation should be invited to view as he is publicly flogged and the event covered live on national television! Click here to view the story.
The vehicle was on its way to western Kenya where he had flew earlier on to campaign. Its evident the whips and pangas were to be used on people and that is what is frightening! Another Rwanda like genocide in Kenya is NOT an option! In my humble opinion more stern action needs to be taken in dealing with electoral violence, cause we are a peace loving Nation.
I just had a heated debate with and ODM supporter, hes still my friend, and i really dont have any urges to cut him up with a machete due to a difference in opinon so why should you!?
Umoja pamoja, Get in line! Vote peacefully.

Millionare........
One evening on my way from school, luckily i got a lift from dear mommy, i stopped too buy some safaricom credit. It was just when they were publicizing the Kwachua thingy, and i really hadn't gotten the whole concept of the competition. Since i was driving i just put the card in my pocket and decided id load it later upon arrival. On reaching home i had to make a call so, i scratched the lower part for the 12 digit pin and loaded it forgetting the upper part which showed the price money one was eligible to win.
A few minutes later i scratched the price money place and BOY was i ecstatic!!
0 after 0 after 0 tokead and they totaled six zeros, i.e a cool 1,000,000. Wachakelele ianze!
My cuzo was with me jumping up and down in jubilation already advising me how i should give him just kidogo. Lil bro there already demanding a bike, im sure the neighbors thought we were being robbed! I had visions of a shiny new ride, no walking no more, a deadly new phone (I had my lovely Mona at the time, oh Mona, my lovely Mona!!)
It all came crashing down after i now read the fine print!
I dont think ive ever gone from such a high to such a low in such a short time(id request all Kyuks to try and say the words in bold again, represent the 'sropes of mount Kenya!!').
But at least i was a millionare!!! Albeit for less than half an hour!

Crumbling of a Giant.....
It seems its just a bad three months for me cause last week i was out burying my friend, Anthony Owalla Mboya.
I met Owalla in primary school, the one and only St.Marys but do i say , when i was in class 6 and later met him in Strathmore University when doing my diploma. We were close in primary but not so in University but non the less he was my friend and i mourn his loss. He struck me as one very cheerful fellow cause i dont think there was a time i saw him sad even during his illness, a trait that i yearn to imitate for years to come. He was a great mind, perhaps the greatest mind ive had the pleasure to meet in our age group, he was surely destined to be an ace programmer, a skillful engineer and a brilliant businessman, if he were to have been with us for a decade or two longer but that is not to be....
His death has put in sharp focus what exactly im here to do, what i can do, wat i have done, and how privileged i am to have the chance to do it, ive resolved to live for the moment, maximize my potential, make the maximum of my time with my friends and loved ones cuz you never know......
The swahili say "Ukiona kichwa cha mwenzako chanyolewa, chako kitie maji!"
Rest in peace Anto,
We shall soon meet again.

My bday!!!
Well my birthday just passed! Yahoooooo!!
And im a year older, i wonder if i should celebrate or start sulking since im edging closer to the end of my life, ill take the former!
Id love to give some super intresting story of how i got drunk and slept atop of some rocks in the middle of a field in the middle of nowhere but for those who know me i aint like that, ill look for some grass not stones! :-)
It was a pretty quiet day my birthday despite i was celebrating two wonderfull decades on our beautiful earth!!
A few kisses here and there, an inbox full of text messages, around 30 emails, several online messages and wait for it.... a ten minute call from a very very very very very close friend overseas(unajujua)!! For me that was like the highlight of my day( if that aint a hint for you to call more often, i dont know what is!!!!)
Moving on from me getting older, im still mourning for my Mona! Since i still have to communicate i had to enlist the services of a cheap Nokia 1110i whom i have suitably named Kamau aka Kamangu. Kamau due to its omnipresence in the Nairobi streets and Kamangu due to its chameleon like qualities i.e. its a useless phone during the day but a wonderfull phone to go partying with at night since i wouldnt feel anything if i lost it!

Phonenapped
In what appears to be predictable trend in my life now, bad news after bad news, i have some more bad news to add! :-( My very own Mona was violently taken away from me! Im sure i tried all i could to save her, but i wount dwell on the circumstances through which i lost her(cuz they still coming to me bit by bit). Im still waiting for a ransom note since itl be kinda hard for them to call me since they have my Mona (my sweet sweet mona - ok i think thats enuf starting to sound gay).
If its destined that we part ways now though Mona, then so be it! But you will always be on my mind (before i get a replacement) !
I aint listening to any song cuz my Mona is gone but one track is playing in my head!
Gone- Nsync

Death....
The past week or so.......
I have never come......
(OH LORD! Even english escapes me.
Ill just write as it comes)
In the past two weeks ive come to fully experience and see the effects of losing a loved one in your family for i have been very fortunate since no close person to me has gone to meet his/her maker, the closest being my great grandmother( rest her soul) who died at the ripe old age of 90. Unfortunately we wernt that close due to the language barrier, i cant quite claim competency in my native mother tounge(sad to say) but im learning albeit slowly.
Now where was i, oh yeah death....
A very close frend of my father got a stroke one fateful morning a three weeks ago and died a week later, the look on my fathers face, id like never to see again. the look of utter shock, horror, dismay, sorrow all rolled up into one. People who know me claim that i show little emotion if any at all in my facial expression but im sure that must have changed when i got to meet the diseaced family, his children, my friends. That toutched me somewhere ive never been toutched, deep deep sorrow. Placing myself in their shoes.......
i would not even want to imagine!
To crown it all up barely three days after his burial, i learnt that a friends dad had just passed away after being involved in a road accident!
I have viewed death as a foreign concept for a long time now, but i have definately been shocked to reality. What is our puropse on earth? What the *^&^ are we here to do? Have i accomplished what i should have done?
You know what! Ive come to the conclusion i should enjoy life a bit more, stop to smell the roses, to tell that chick ive been eyeing for forever that im practically in love with her, travel the world, meet new people, do something crazy, hug my Mom once in a while, and say thank you to Daddy every so often, call up an old buddy and treat him/her out to lunch, diner or even a good night out cuz you never know when a clot will form and choke your brain or a narrow minded Kenyan matatu driver will escape a pote hole or come barelling down you lane in search of that elusive "Kerucy" and end up squandering your priceless life in the process!
God please rest those two hard working gentlemen in eternal peace, and help their familes pull through this extremely dark and fog filled part of their lives.

The Newbie
After weeks of reading other peoples blogs, i decided to go out on a limb and try my hand at it.
In highschool(quite a long time ago) i despised compositions and inshas and anything that would require me to make up a story because once i got started formulating and telling a story i found it hard to draw a story to a close, so most of my stories would be just left hanging, that may show lack of planning, but hey, i aint no John Grisham, and also because they had a time limit and had to me maked and marks awarded,Nway i digress.
You know the feeling that overwhelms you when you pitch camp at a whole new environment? I remember that feeling, i remember(probably my earliest memory) being left by mommy in class one in this strange environment where everyone was crying except for me(i wish!!). I doubt this is a true memory because it was probably aided by the many photos that wer taken at that time. Starch filled khaki shorts that felt as if they would break at the smallest attempt to bend them, the shiny bata toughees shoes that i tried so hard not to bend( you know when you walk a fold forms right in the middle which soon develops to a crack..), the smell brand new books, well at least almost since most if not all the books i used wer passed down from my elder brother who is two years ahead of me. Aaah the the good old days!
Now im all grown up, but the overwhelming feeling has yet again come over me as i post my first posting(lol aint english wierd) in my brand new blog.....
