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 ...

Love what you do

It's 9:00 pm on the last flight out of Jomo Kenyatta international airport to Moi international airport and I'm sipping a cold beer at 23,000 feet. The flip side is I have a cold and I have not had a good nights rest in a while. I am sleep deprived and pretty hungry so it's not all rosy up here. That however, isn't why I am writing this. I am writing this because of a totally different reason. I generally don't pay attention to the safety instructions at the beginning of the flight but this time I did . Why do you ask, because of the male flight attendant. Why would a male flight attendant make me concentrate, well it was late at night and he had probably flown back and forth a couple of times but he still entertained us. The guy got up on the P.A system and gave us an audio presentation worthy of a radio talk-show host. He introduced the captain, first officer and all the flight attendants like he was introducing his fellow band mates and it was refreshing.  I ha...
