Star gazing.....

         

I am in the wilderness right now under a clear sky watching the stars. It's s crescent moon today and all I hear around me is crickets and the distant laughter of a team having their retreat. There is a faint sound of lovemaking going on in the next the room, lucky them but I wouldn't want it to bother me much. The crescent moon has two stars forming a triangle with it. At first glance they look like stars but in reality I am looking at Jupiter and Venus. An article I read the other day told me that for the last few weeks and for another one week the two planets will seem to be extremely close from our perspective. Questions abound I believe, how is it that the second and fifth planet end up looking so close to each other well I'll probably answer that later. Well so what does this mean to me? Immediately I just think of what someone once told me, only parallel lines don't meet. When two individuals from different backgrounds cultures etc are meant to meet then they will but only if they are on different trajectories. It can actually be likened to a couple of straight guys, they run parallel and have similar intentions that can be termed as similar trajectories. A guy looking for a girl and a girl looking for a guy will cross paths at some point and if they are like Jupiter and Venus depending on the conditions they may collide or just pass each other and be on their merry way. I am saying this because I have met many people in the past few weeks who wonder when they will 'collide' with the one. Well believe me he/she is coming as fast as they can just as Venus moves at 126,077 Km/h and Jupiter moves at 47,051 km/h but they just met in our night skies and haven't met before in a very long time.

The Jupiter and Venus convergence as it is called is due to the fact that our planets revolve around the sun in more of flat plane like formation. For more info, check out news week on the link below.

Always looking out for number 1

I just got a new job that is sales in nature , my previous job was an I.T. position which gave me a chance to compare the differences between humans and machines. A machine is supposed to be predictable ,with a particular set of inputs you get a particular set of outputs. A human is supposed to be unpredictable where one group wants to go left there is this guy who always wants to go right. However, I realized that machines can be at some point unpredictable while the humans vice versa. A human will be predictable in that every little situation you bring to him will only flow with your idea if and only if it is of some benefit to them. That brings me to the basis of this topic today, number in is you and your immediate interests and issues if importance. With that being said, I would love to burst the bubbles of certain individuals who seem to rely too much on other people. If you are an adult and probably approaching middle age, you are of three different levels of life : accomplis

She ain't going nowhere.....

Loneliness has always been a a friend of mine, way back when my thoughts were my own and very few people knew of my very existence.  Today the loneliness is back and it's back with a vengeance. "So what you upto tonight?" Asked John knocking me out of my deep thoughts. "Nothing much , got some writing to do and the words are at my finger tips and I don't want to lose them." I replied. John has always wanted the best for me, sort of like the big brother I never had. He opened up his doors to me this time when Mary threw me out for the first time. Who is Mary you ask. Where to start about Mary, well she was my first love and the first person who knew me behind the curtain I raised for most people. What did I do to get kicked out...  "STOP DAYDREAMING DUDE!!!" John screamed while shaking me. I hadn't noticed I had just wondered off. "Okay Bro,  since you are determined to stray my thoughts what do you have in mind?" I said hoping he

Nairobians and their class differences.....

So I like wearing power branded shoes sold by bata, some like weinbreinners and there are people who u really don't understand that wear sketchers. This is the most basic way of describing the different levels that we have in Nairobi, by levels I mean classes. There are those who treat crocs like something you wear around the yard while others may have it as a Sunday best. Don' t ask me if i have actually seen this but I'm sure it happens regularly.  Class isn't a new thing , from the aristocracy all the way to the caste system in India the classes have been clearly defined for millennia. I have a personal theory about this, with such a large population and there being such a powerful hunger to survive, people decided to try and define their difference between themselves and the others. When we first existed, the human race had such a low population that we required each other to survive. People may have existed like the bushmen of south africa where there were units of
