The last few weeks have unraveled for most of us with almost unbelievable dreamlike disbelief. I was glued to the press and world wide web on unfolding events in my beloved Kenya. A debilitating quagmire of uncertainty took over my being and I had to focus and regroup and most importantly pray. At some point I realized that I was praying in anger and thus was blocking the fulfillment of the very

Absolutely GORGEOUS…who’d believe me if I said that the last scrumptious image wreaked havoc in my life in the spring. This bush, outside my building, gave me the hibby jibby sneezes, runny nose, itchy eyes, scratchy throat for over a month! One day minding my own, walking home from work I saw this gorgeous ball of pink…could it be that my arch enemy had morphed into this oh so yummy bundle…One

I've been away but i'm back...I think. The last few months have been a roller coaster ride of sorts, one that I wouldn't sentence even my worst enemy to. Memories are ebbing away now and days are looking brighter...

For as long as I’ve known me, I’ve never held a said hair-do/style for over 6months, and that's pushing it. I like change and oft times, unconventional dos. For over two years now, I’ve been debating on whether I shld go bald or not and I DID IT! I look absolutely scrumptious, or so I tell myself. I shaved my hair off...no one died and I wasn’t forced by tradition to shave. No, I did not have a

I spent time with him last week, 8 days to be precise...absolute and total BLISS!!!I feel like I'm on some cloud in the sky looking in on my life.There's this constant smile in my being and the pitta patta in my heart that makes me want to melt away into oblivion.I'm sold man and in my world, goods once sold not returnable!!!

Arrrrrrrrrrgh I hate to be sick. I hate, even more, being fussed over when I’m sick.Hmmm maybe it’s the gods of my previous blog entry getting back at me for picking on my friend or making you lot read jibberish (HA HA that was fun).

I had an overly fantastic weekend…my neck hurts like crazy though, thanx to DJs Nyandat and Adrian…MADNESS!!!I could not have missed this if I was on my death bed, I.V. drip and all…someone somewhere would’ve sneaked me out of hospital and planted the gurney in the corner over there of the dance floor. Man I danced like there was no tomorrow and had a blast at it. But tomorrow there was and in

So my friends and I normally have these silly exchanges…calling first dibs on each others possessions should the demise of said individual happen. Today dibs were called on my shot glasses, bracelets, music, books and candles by her because she has the spare key to my apt, she can come and pick up the ‘dibbed’ before calling the cops or whoever about my passing. Ok I know, not funny but think

I used to think that I was incapable of falling in love or being loved because past experiences taught me these untruths. I’m the most confident person I know and still I had to re-condition my being on these almost loathsome thoughts.One day we locked eyes and that is all she wrote. I unconsciously denied it for so long because I strongly believed that being in love is a choice and I had chosen

Stop whatever it is you are doing at noon today(and the rest of the week)and offer 2 minutes of silence, prayer, meditation, reflection, be still, connect with your God/Creator for Peace, Stability and especially for the end of senseless innocent killings in Kenya!!!

MAN I am beyond angry at the entire goings on with the wanton Mungiki lot. I think we need the press coverage...good or bad, and in as much as it embarrasses most it's about time we stop wanting others to create rosy pictures of what is not the case as the innocent continue to suffer immeasurably. What gives? I oft wonder/ask what it will take for KENYANS to make our government accountable. They

I had a BLAST this weekend and have a scar to show for it (burnt lower right leg while getting on a bike and not realizing the cylinder was HOT. Never mind the numerous warnings that apparently yours truly didn’t hear because of the excitement). I attended the black bikers event in Myrtle Beach. I still have an adrenalin rush from a bike ride and watching bikes and oh so much more. Oh I should

Graduated on Mon and I had a BLAST. First off I had to be out of the house by 5 to make it to school by 6…sounds insanely impossible but I did. I was in shock and awe for lack of better words. I’d shared my up by 4a out by 5a School by 6a story with a few friends. To my surprise one took it upon itself to rent a limo for me. So I get out my apt and I’m all dolled up in tights and pantyhose (yak
