Been having some imagined or real hard times and it shows at the things that have been neglected of late one being this place and still i know better days are coming but why do they still have to be coming,when they should have been here like last month?

I AM NOT MY JOB

STARTED OFF WITH SOME WEIRD POST BUT REALIZED THAT MY ANGER IS DIRECTED AT MY JOB! SO HERE TO GIVE ME AND ALL THOSE INDECISIVE PEOPLE OUT THERE HOPE AND THE MUCH NEEDED BOOST.

“YOUR JOB IS NOT YOUR CAREER. TOO OFTEN WE THINK OF OUR JOBS AND OUR CAREERS AS BEING THE SAME THING. THEY ARE NOT! JOBS ARE GIVEN AND JOBS ARE TAKEN AWAY – OFTEN BY FORCE BEYOND OUR CONTROL. BUT YOUR CAREER BELONGS TO YOU. YOU GET TO DECIDE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT: WHERE YOU GO,WHAT YOU DO,WHOM YOU WORK WITH. DON’T HESITATE TO SPEND REAL TIME - SIX MONTHS A YEAR FIGURING OUT YOUR CAREER TRAJECTORY.

IT IS THE BEST INVESTMENT YOU WILL EVER MAKE"

Empty Kabisa.

no drive, just no nothing, why? dont know.

yeah had to be tagged by sands. now here it goes

2. am a near perfectionist every thing have to be where it should be at all times usually spends more time at the office attending to detail. cant stand any half done job whatever the circumstances. I believe that once you start on something give it your best.
3. I can read anything anytime anywhere used to even read while walking but had to stop. results in so much info, can trade everything for good reading material.
4. Been known to burn fuses easily from nowhere or nothing major that says have no patience with most things and people thus have had my fair share of run ins with almost everyone i have interacted with from time to time.
5. Royal in a way will frequent some joint or place so much will be construed to be a stalker
6. Madly in love with my family everyone of them would die for them in an instant then complain later.

well that's it done my part though not revealing as there is not much to reveal.
tags everyone who have not been tagged

WICKED

waking up to the fact that am blankly labelled a stalker by of all people one whose past time involves spinning webs from his rear as he watches some re-runs of kisulisuli and Tausi,never thought that the day was so much in its third trimester ready to let out whatever it has been lobouring to carry, so early in the morning.
Now my attention has been brought to the fact that I caused some serious trouble at work between the directors. This place is so near bursting right now cant wait for day to end.
spare a brother some thought.

OF MOVING HOUSES

Finally this weekend managed to move houses to a better(read better at the same price) and by the way this can be one hell of an activity. Never stopped marvelling at the amont of junk we pick along as we go day by day.If I remember well i left my parents place with barery anything as i moved out all those years back but jeez now to change houses i need some 7 ton lorry to make the switch.The neighbourhood looks ok and the best thing is that i have enough space to enable my kids play outside(To imagine that they almost turned yellow with all the kaeni ndani ya nyumba vibe) the other good thing is that not many of my friends(infact none) knows where the place is so for the next few days its maximum privacy and this reminds me that i will have to vet whoever i will let in on the location of my new digs, as I have been messed up already by the so called friends as they tend to drop by "just to say hello" why dont you just call and say hello! then i will be able to tell you "siko home".
one disadvantge of moving houses is that you got still to let your family know where you are staying and the worst part is giving directions and for the better part of today i'v been trying to direct my small bro on how to get there and so far after like 10 calls all he can see is nothing! but i dont fault him since in kenya we dont have address on the doors or something so guess I will have to go on using my money to call him and give him directions after every two minutes(did I mention that I have to call him as all his phone manages to do is send those irritating messages of "please call me - Thank you" got to have one that says "No please why don't you call instead"
or better still the phone disables automatically when you no longer have talk time.

But Do I Say.

Funny how this small deed makes me feel smart . I have just managed to change the look in this here page, Though some of the info have been ommited it will all be brought in once i figure out how.Let me know what you think about it. (Believe me this is one hell of an achievement for me, that is!)

just for fun.

had to let all in on this though the credit goes to karengata and one Nick russel. just enjoy.

Oh pity the plight of poor Nick Russell
His finger’s stuck to his love-muscle.
It came about, as these things do,
By carelessness with SuperGlue.

While trying to fix the kitchen sink
He took a leak; he didn’t think
Some misanthropic drop would linger
And so attach his index finger.

But there it was, quite firmly stuck to.
“What a piece of rotten luck to
Bare for all the world to ogle
My self-adhesived Willie-Woggle”.

The doctors gave no hope of ease.
In fact, they all began to tease
Poor Nick and asked him with a giggle
To hold it still and not to wiggle
While they examined it at length
Then held him down with all their strength
And tugged and pulled and reached decision
- Perform a total circumcision.

“No time to lose, no time to linger.
What’s it to be - your friend or finger?”
They cried, and in unhidden glee
Prepared the limbs for surgery.

“Oh no,” cried Nick, extremely worried,
And from the surgery he scurried,
“I will not lose my digit and
I’ll keep my thingy in my hand.”

So if one day you should by chance
Meet Nick with one hand in his pants,
The lesson’s clear; whate’er you do,
Don’t piss around with SuperGlue.

OVERWORKED UNDERPAID.

Had to delete my previous post after i realized tha the only thing iam trying to put across is wht do you do when you realize that you are being underpaid for all the mountain of duties assigned to you? Realized this in a job interview when asked to describe my normal day in the office and the interviewer had to get me to stop as I had such an impressive array of responsibilities the guy developed cold feet for how do you peg a salary of a person who undertakes the work of at least three employees?
Resolution looking for a better paying job with limited work load, for the way I am going my family will be left suffering as I have no time to even jienjoy with my two lovely daughters (Yeah i had to say it)
Anyone with suggestions?

KEEP THE SLATE CLEAN.

For a shiny butt use ass grater toilet rolls coming soon in some store near you. Bulk orders encouraged.

NB:photo credits note mine.

IF ONLY.

If only i could lay my hands on one of this some kumbaff would get it.

Michuki aka Colonial D.O.

Apparently old habits die hard but to cling on to them for forty plus years is just too much. Michuki has this notion that he can lord over the people of Kenya and get away with it. News Mr Michuki we are no longer the country where we used to lie low, You may be enjoying power and unprecedented clout in your present time but do not forget that you are the product of continued years of oppressing the masses right from your years as acolonial D.O. as one Muite rightly put it. and needless to say you had perfected the art of intimidation right up to the time you succeeded in enforcing the michuki laws in the transport sector.
yeah give it to you you had our support since for once you were fightig for the masses and since the poor who use the public transport system were the beneficialies(sp) we were ganged up against those who opposed you, but old man do not not even for one minute think that your fight against the press will succeed.
stiffle everything but do not dare touch the fourth estate for beware as the pen is mighter than the sword!
LDP has waken up to the rude realisation that the suppossedly spouse is threatening to devorce even before the nion have been consumated! The feeling must be one of shock and disturbing to the Odinga outfit for that is basically what it is. This guys chest thump youd think each holds multiple voters cards now that Kanu have bolted from the stable the party is left with no partner to forster the ODM dream. and kudos to Kanu but a word of advice play hard to get but not to the extent of making the suitor loose interest or rather do not ringa so much the interest may wane with time and putting it mildly none of you cabn go it alone.
BARCA!
Everyone knew it save for the gooners fans.
Everyone save for the gooners fans.
Everyone wanted it save for the gooners fans
Everyone was happy save for the gooners fans
And to think that they haboured the hopes of being champions my foot those people can ruin the reputation of a good game and to have thot they could even run away with it shame on you!
Lesson learnt is walk crawl before you walk save alone run.
Finally as has been the case ARSENAL LOST BRILLIANTLY.

WHAT THE HELL IS............

Even before i start on this i know i am trending on rather slippery grounds but what the heck!.

Finnally good old( really) one wife of ngilu has done it again (what? ) Shes become passionate which is her only mistake in politics see she does not think her constiunts have smokers neither does she think that those kenyans she would want to veote her in as president are inclusve of smokers.
Ati she wants smoking to be put on hold in public places! where are you really in some private place? guess we are to start seeing billows of smoke emanating from the so called private places and eventually get to private skies and so on.
you may have realized by now that i am a smoker not by default but by choice what the heck each one of us have one or more negative habits that make us fall under the defination of men and women. My smoking or lack of does not make me healthy you docs out there let me know if you are all treating smokers and no other cases are ever brought to you.
this one as many of the current gova's policies laws and so on comes as a cropper from the word go. cant wait to be produced in court with some cigarrette stub as evidence of having been smoking in public.
what if i smoke dont come near me ihave no responsibility regarding you keep your distance and we assume that the fire in your shags does emit no smoke.
ati we dont smoke in public places rubbish which is the public place/ shame on you that the only amenity you can classify as a public place is your local bus stage cause honestly where else would you be in public for the sake of being in public.
the economics behind this stink where will the same gava get the short fall of revenue from this action.
my human rights are also being violated namely the right to make my choice in what i partake after all if i were to chew the tobacco or get wrapped in it is my choice but for now i smoke it.
w cant even enforce the laws on the alcoblow thing what makes them think this will succeed?
WTF let them try us we are eagerly waiting for the deadline so that we can start counting the deadline to the directives demise.
ati smoking kills so do cars, food, sex, drugs,alcohol,cold,water,sun,ropes,fire,and basically almost everything so every thing we get should have the caption that "THIS BURGER MAY KILL YOU!"The gava's vehicles should have this sticker"THIS VEHICLE MAY KILL YOU' what the heck lets all have labels that say "THIS HUSBAND/WIFE MAY KILL YOU" REALLY EVERYTHING CAN KILL

Back After Some pretty Long Hiatus.

Hello one and all, as its evident but for the sakes of those who didnt notice (not that it matters ) I was silent for some time due to unavoidable circumstances but as for now i am on back for how long i dont know. the thing is that my connection was down due to some issues beyond my control but now things seems to be ok.
I am still trying to catch up on all the debates that have been going on and man do you people blog! I t feels like the first time I am blogging am so left behind and will take some time to catch up. So if any one has suggestions on where to start or what to look at first please do feel free to air them thanks.
Will be hearing from me sooN.

SOME HAPPY BELATED MOTHERS DAY WE ARE WHO WE ARE BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE. THANKS MAMA

ARGHH

PAC REPORT/ALIGNMENTS

It goes without saying that the PAC report tabled in parliament and voted to be implemented should come as a relief and as a right direction in the fight against graft in this country. But we should not celebrate just yet as the PAC is nothing but a toothless dog whose work one may say is to bark but never bite.
You may have realised that no action is to be taken unless some of those to be investigated and those partly blamed for the scandal 'approve' their own crucification to put it that way. After all, all the report achieved in doing is recommending the investigation of the people involved, and the preparation of a report within two months.
The affairs of the people to be looked into are the issue that lends non credence to the seriousness of the gov on the whole issue. One would imagine that all thosse to be investigated are to resign and let the due process take plce but alas! this is Kenya. You do not expect to see the VP doing so in the near future, nor Mr Muthaura or Wako. Another catch is that before any public servant gives evidence to the commmitee the same president who was accused of laxity while being fully informed of the going ons by Githongo will be the one to give permission to them to appear before the commitee as they are barred to do so what will prevent him from not doing so and if he does so what will prevent him from selectively giving permission to a few.
Also who would give evidence agains his boss and at the same time expect not be victimised as in the case of Muthaura ( He is the chief of all civil servants after all).
One would only wait to see what will transpire in the next two months.

Now to one marriage of ODM and LDP. Writings are on the walls of a possible fall out as a result of the eminent by election in the five areas that lost their Mps in the Marsabit tragedy. I do not see any possibility of either Kanu ceceding its claim from the seats in favour of ana ODM candidatefor after all one Paddy Ahenda is not an ODM Mp but an LDP one so here i predict the beginning of the end for this alliance.
signing off for now and a belated kudos for all those nominated for the Kaybees please cast your votes for in the words of one Patrick Lumumba "those who fail to vote, vote nevertheless by not voting"

Quick quip!

though noble by their standards it sickenning to see the kenyan govt' pledging to pay for hotel bills for somali delegates amounting to 18 million while we cannot afford to feed our people shameful once more.

KACC WEBSITE

YOU CAN NOW CHECK OUT THE WORK OF RINGERA AND CO. AT THEIR WEBSITE.

REALLY.

It is with self hate and much thought that i must write this. I happened to watch the news(27th March) cant remember if it KTN or NATION but one of them or maybe both and the images from northern Kenya were really pitiful to see someone walk for 40k in search of a clinic cause that aint no hospital , a child dies for lack of food , a whole family is sick due to hunger, amother leaves her family for days in search of food, someone dies for lack of water( while we drink bottled water) and much more.And to think that some of us feel pity for ourselves when we cant fun on weekends.
Really i dont know do we really have the same government they have in northern kenya?

1. Do you as an individual feel anything when such things are highligted?
2. Do the government really care?
3. Have you guys ever thought about these people who happen to be our brothers and sisters.
4. Are there ways to end this recurrent events once and for all in our country?

lets leave politics out for once for we will talk about them and at the end of it all it everybody for himself or herself.

TOLD YOU GUYS!.

Told you guys to be on the look out for things going haywire in parliament, and bingo the first day of business transactions the rifts are emerging! The house business committee has been turned to an extension of the cabinet. Virtually all the proposed govt’ recommendations are from the cabinet. Talk of kanu’s lack of respect for democracy and you see an elite group of govt’ men who have no shame left and in one stroke they managed to taint the integrity of the house and Kenyans once again! Kanu’s walkout on the committee was a little bit too late for us Kenyans did walk out on the govt’ way back when it became apparent that the govt’ was out to renegade on all the spoken and even assumed promises that they did give (but alas we are about to make the full cycle come 2007).

Its official the government is all out to put a stop to media freedom in the country. Information minister Mutahi Kagwe alleges that the media has become a preserve of a few operatives and if it were upto Him every media house would have to choose one medium to stick to. One wonders why are these people so blind to what the implications of their actions will be. Deny nation media house and the standard media group of internet and radio leave them only and don’t forget Kenyans fought for democracy even when we only had KBC. So stifling the media will backfire on them as all our sympathy will revert to the media houses. (Bet they are also thinking of ways to curtail the progress of blogging as an alternative media machine.)

What is it about snakes and frogs that give Rev Githii sleepless nights? You guessed it they are in parliament buildings or rather there carvings are. Remember the guy who had to destroy church windows and other paraphernalia in the guise of getting rid of the devil in the church? He is at it again this time regarding the snakes and frogs carvings in parliament. Apparently according to the guy these have contributed to the levels of “immorality” and decay of the house in all its undertakings. I really dont know what to think about all this any suggestions?

Pessimists Or is it just the Reality?



Watching the news yesterday after the official opening of parliament I was left with a bitter taste in my mouth as i wondered till when will we hear the same old stories of we will leave nothing to chance and infact the only thing we prosper in doing is leave everythying to the dogs. The prezi was there saying how we will tackle this and that. Raila was there now looking for peace( wonder if things are Ok in ODM) Kalonzo was echoing Railas sentiments and as expected the gov side had never heard a better speech and hence some pulitzer award is in order according to them.
The mwananchi as usual dispatched to the periphery and Parliament was out of bounds.
My take is that all the sentiments aside as per my view all of yesterdays speech was just pure gas and if you dont believe me tune in today and find out what happened on the first day of discussion.

Young Kenyans Arise!

Are you below the age of 45 years? .Then you are young!Do you love your country Kenya? Do you think you have a stake in the happenings in the country Kenya? Does the future of our beloved country mean anything to you? Think for a moment: if you are 45 and below - to reach Mwai's age you have at least 30 more years to live! Do you want the group that calls itself leaders in this country to chart your future for you? Or do you want to be part of the change that is necessary to build this country? Let us sample a few : this is not about tribal chiefs and their kingdoms - for our progressive future requires that we grow up and shed the tribal and regional glasses and think as a nation and tap on our otential- while appreciating our diversity which must be celebrated as opposed to being use to divide us. Kalonzo Musyoka: a member of Moi government as cabinet Minister for over 20 years! The Nyayo torture chambers were run - we all knew about them while he was a senior member of the government that was torturing its own people. We never had his voice! What makes him a spokesman of the down trodden?? Under NARC he oversaw the plunder in funds misuse at the Ministries for 3 years- see local dailies for details. He quit the government in June 2002 since he knew there was no way KANU was going to win the election- a selfish move. He was a Part of the ODM last year - if he is Mr. clean where did he and his colleagues get the money for the NO campaign. Ono of the directors of Kalonzo foundation is Renzo Barnade who is a partner with Lee Nyachae at Kenya Bunduki- the Nyachae's are known to work closely with Aura Perera- the NARC regime Kamlesh Patni- Young Kenyan the conclusion is yours.
William Ruto: A senior member of the amorphous group called Youth for KANU 92. It is common knowledge the plunder this group of young thugs did to our Country Kenya during the early 90's- being young does not mean the same thing as integrity! It made him an overnight millionaire!!! Could he say what honest job he did, where and when to amass the wealth he has?

Do we want a leader who have grabbed properties to leads us to destruction? He was a member of the MOI repressive regime until the end. IF he is Mr. Clean shouldn't he answer three simple questions - who funded the YK92-where are the audited accounts, who funded the referendum campaign, what made him a savior after being part of regime that tortured Kenyans who spoke their minds? Uhuru Kenyatta: Young Kenyan with a bright future . His family owns 250,000 acres of land in Kenya - this is equivalent to the area covered by Nyanza province. In free market economy this could be acceptable save for the fact that we all know that this was stolen from the Kenyan people by his father! In a country where 60% live below the poverty line a dollar a day - he should be ashamed when he stands before us and tells us about prosperity of our Nation and Our rights! 80% of Taveta residents are squatters in his family land = 40,000 acres. SHAME ON YOU UHURU FOR
ATTEMPTING TO HOODWINK US AND GRAB more!
Otieno Kajwang: he has been struck from the role of Advocates in Kenya for stealing client's money- how can he possibly talk to us about good governance and ethics while he is a thief himself? Case of log in your eye.......... Raila Odinga - 7 political parties in a period of less 10 years means the man believes in nothing. It was all about what is in this for me- Kibaki Tosha call was an own stomach call since he knew the history of the man-he was in the government that detained him for 12 years.


Mwai Kibaki- a member of the government for 40 years - see no evil hear no evil let no evil enter into your mind! Until an opportunity occurs for you to ascend to the top seat for the sole purpose of sitting on that seat! Kenyans were fools to imagine that a man who had been in the system for 40 years could cause any change- he knows no difference. Mwiraria/ Murungi - the arrogance of power and the ANGLO FLEECING SAGA whether real or imagined speaks for itself. A LAST Deal might have been done on Tuesday 31st February to supply Radio communication equipment by the famous Kamani Group- worth 2.6 billion!Mukisa Kituyi - there is a rumour that the man owns a helicopter after only 3 years of being a minister. Period to the run up to the 2002 election, it is rumoured that he owned very little!Ole Ntimama - the tribal chief- remember the "lie low like an envelope" remark that caused death of several Kenyans in what was called tribal clashes- turned spokesman of the people! HOW? ....... THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.........
I do not need to go further in analyzing them. It points to a need to completely change our political clothing for this country to change the direction we are taking. There is nothing special about all these characters and we need to send them packing whenever the elections are called. Let us spread word that there is need for complete overhaul of the elected leaders.LET US VOTE OUT ALL THE 220 MPs currently in the August house! Let us refuse the bribery during the campaign period - we are 73% of the population and must answer to our Children what we did to make their lives better!!

hey all this is me and this is finally my space will be reverting back later sorry duty calls
