A BIG BROTHER ALWAYS COMES IN HANDY




You remember your first day of school, I don't but my mother tells me that I cried and didn’t want to leave her arms. Who could blame me, I was 3 years old and had to be carried to this God forsaken new place. A place where everyone dressed the same and there were people my size but in different shapes and shades. Then there was this bigger person who I had never seen before giving orders. I figure it must have been hell for me especially since I was a first born and only child at the time. Well, since I figure that I adjusted pretty well then it must have set precedence because I always kinda fear going to new places but i feel excited when I actually have to head to a new place. There is this nagging feeling in my body that anything could happen whether good or bad but the bottom line is it will be different.
Its not as exciting for everyone, to some a change in environment is akin to torture. New faces, different culture and the constant anxiety that you may step on toes sometimes can get the better of you. We all have the need to fit in, those who don’t are a bunch of miserable snobs , and we do our best to try to.

So you have made it out of preschool and the kids are getting bigger and the ones behind you seem to be getting smaller every year. What else is there to do but go to the next school. Same shit , different day in primary school except this time you have gotten the hang of being around strangers and if you havent then you were probabaly 'That guy'. Don't pretend like you didn't have 'that guy' at your school. Remember the loner, not the nerd since at least he had a reason from staying away from the rest of us. The kid who stays indoors when its time to go out and play also known as the introverts. If you were an introvert then i guess you had your own coping mechanism because the rest of us depended on each other to get through most of these schools.

I don't want to digress but I can assure that 90 % of the people reading this blog have moved from school to school or job to job because they knew somebody or their parents knew someone.
That’s why I think however much you try to resist it, a bigger brother is always needed….

She killed him.........................

A man’s primary purpose in life is to provide, both for the present and the future. Often, nothing he possesses naturally is seen as inherently valuable. For a woman, however, the opposite is true, as she is born with much of what is deemed valuable for the species. It's a rather bleak topic to discuss, yet it reflects a truth we have come to understand. Recently, I buried a great man who did everything right, though it wasn’t enough to earn him the long life he so deserved. Born and raised in poverty, he was on his way to becoming the best in his field, until he met someone he couldn't resist. As a child, he encountered a beautiful girl whom he believed could walk on water. Their young love blossomed in the dusty, rural farmlands of western Kenya, only for life’s circumstances to separate them for nearly two decades. During their time apart, he built a foundation that his peers from the village could only dream of. From barefoot maize harvests in the village to excelling at a ...

How Much Is Enough? I think I figured it out.....................

I recently faced a situation that I have faced multiple times, getting vindicated for my integirty while those who chose a different path finding themselves on the wrong side. I have worked in the industry I am in for almost 16 years now and during that time I have seen colleagues get rich through dubious means. My time in this iindustryhas made me aware of ways in which this is possibe but I have always questioned on whether it is worth it. Guys getting kick backs or outright theft looks attractive in the moment but at the end of the day you always get caught and find yourself in a worse of position than before. We see the same thing in our politicians and even though theirs is the making oofa kleptocracy we always ask ourselves, How much is really enough? I think I may have found out how much in my perspective may be enough. KES. 300 MILLION Hear me out on this, if you were to have a windfall or accumulate wealth in a short time i personally believe that amount would serve my family ...

Someone needs to shoot the DEEJAY....

Expensive drinks and high cover charges, that's the price I pay for a hassle free night in a club with great ambience. A great night to me is rated against some distinct markers. Company,  choice of beverage and location.  Company ,if it's not your usual crew, has to be put together systematically to ensure you don't end up with troublemakers but with more fun loving and well behaved people.  The choice of beverage is just dictated by location and company. House parties should have more hard liquor than beers while the club scene requires more portability with regards to cans and bottles for the more agile of this generation. The last and usually most important, location location location. What goes into a location; distance,  cost, ratio of the sexes,  neighborhood and the music. If you are already used to certain clubs then the only variable present is the sexes and music.  Unless you are bringing your own company then the ratio doesn't bother you much b...
