Outsourced

Listening to Young Jeezy’s song ‘ Ballin’, chorus goes………”you think you balling coz you gat a block”… Am so into writing the blog that all I can hear is … “you think you ballin coz you gat a blog”. That’s a good sign because proves that am committed but just not balling unfortunately. If I get there all be like the ‘touch me not’ plant, it closes up when you touch it seriously. Found in Kenya at the Mamba village. Peaks of being a local tourist once in a while.

The past week has really been uplifted by Indian themed season and a standup comedy 'outsourced'. Gupta by far my favorite character and he resemble , come to think of it he reminds me kung fu panda Po.

   They have really got me thinking how I don’t have an Indian friend. So many questions in my mind and no one to ask. Its also one of those things you get to want answers from an actual person rather than just Google search.Example there is no language such as Indian or Chinese. Its even prompting me to sit next to mum and watch soaps like ‘A love Story’. Right now some of you may be judging a brother but I can’t just be ignorant to something that interests some other person to a point they even have control over the traffic.

Anyway I gathered from the two funny ass comic programs that India has really cultured people.

It’s such a big deal to me that I start thinking how I have been isolated and I have continued isolating myself from the shaggz. Now am a Nairobian and we have our culture that goes unnoticed.

We probably don’t notice this but customer care and services sucks in this town in most institutions. How much would it cost a phone Xpress person to just smile and be polite really!! We take it so calmly and normal but that should be the case people not at all. Maybe they cater to white people much more politely but that would be some really pre colonial actions. All knowing and as we are, some of us are really living some hard core lives and some of the basic and mandatory services that we should be provided by the government is a wish in the wishing well.

Have you ever gone to a friends place and ask if there running water and if it’s okay to flash the toilet. Or you get an amazed look on your face when someone say’s they are going to take a hot shower. Water dropping down from a shower head would water dropping from the heavens and what not. Or having an actual bath from a bath tab. (face in shock its like am describing houses on Mtv cribs).

I have just described myself right there, thing is for the past 10 years or so, our place has had water rationing. 10years seriously. There was a time we didn’t even see water coming out of the taps.

Water is a natural resource that should be abundant and for most part of it free. I mean charges maybe should be for transporting it to individual homes. If the government is having challenge regulating or making a natural resource available to the people, what other things would they fall short at providing?

Having to worry about basic necessities would make a working person or any one on that matter less productive. We would then start questioning our selves why the shilling has hit a record low.

This is me going on record, we do bath but utilizing the skills harnessed from the visits to shaggz where we got to bath with a bucket which later got enhanced when you went to the kind of boarding schools I went to, someone gets clean in the end. Maybe it’s me trying to console myself but it’s a water conservation mechanism too so in retrospect we are looking out for the environment.

When we get to go the sauna which would also translate a shower shower (have to say it twice for emphasis that it’s not an ordinary practice to me) later when we decide to be local tourists because that’s not an everyday occurrence, then we get to fully appreciate when we have the opportunity.

The only time New Zealand had water problem is after an earthquake, a freaking earthquake.

We have never had a natural disaster at my place thank God so I don’t see a reason because there are some freshly laid pipes that pass out water once a week and it’s in the freaking night. So people are stocked up with karai’s and jerry cans. Especially now that it’s ‘Show’ week, people will be going shopping hehehe.

What New Zealander rugby national players did is, if you are had running water at your place then you didn’t get to shave your beard.

I think we should embrace the togetherness but it shouldn’t necessarily be sparked by a tragedy rather just make it fun.

Respect to the later Wangari Mathai, this is my hamming bird contribution to a better Kenya tomorrow.

Kung fu panda 2 referencing, I have found inner peace and all do the karai thing but I would rather that be my choice and get running water flowing through the taps.

Scodosh!!!!!…………..bloggers.

Shady as it may be, the weather has lately been doing a number on me. Early in the AM when the cock crows……and note proximity from Nairobi CBD and to where I live is pretty close so I still don’t understand how guys have poultry beats logic. Am sure some of you live in flats, concrete jungle and still you can get to hear the bloody thing crow.} back to opening vibe, the weather is either freakishly cold when I get to dig in my drawers. NB not walk through closet like we get to see on MTv cribs.

Then from noon there is a blazing solar scotching guys to a barbecue like you are in the movie Rango.

So am appealing to guys before we go on, global warming is real, that non bio degradable item that you can be tempted to litter our beautiful country just halt, think of the future generation having four seasons in a day like Ireland.

Trust is no tale and I have first hand information from reliable sources. If you are selfish just reflect on the weather the past few weeks and maybe it will give you a hint. Or better yet the draught that had recently griped our country.

Pause… that was really mature thinking of me right there. Dawn growing up though sucks. Remember a day when you slept stretching and turning all you want, no worries for the day or night, no school no work and as far as you know the world just revolve around you…………oh wait there isn’t. Soon as you reached puberty, how you look how other people saw you what you have becomes a factor. My friend’s kid is the only one I know who has the luxury to that kind of sleep and she three. The angel sleeps an turns so much that by the time its morning her head would be where her feet were when she went to bed. I was so envious of that kind of sleep but its long gone.

It is such a competitive world that closing my eyes I think of how I have added value to my life and if I should have the luxury of having a rest. It also get frustrating when you work hard at something but efforts just go to waste or some take it for granted {bitter moment right there}.

At time is so much like quick sand, the harder you try the deeper you get bite in the ass but thanks to friends such days just become a fade. If you don’t have friends you got the mirror. Cc Lil wanye ft bruno mars- mirrors.

So far though, from the drowning from things going south, this week I have had a gasp of air, actually started a while back thinking about it in clarity. Dawn, someone can get consumed by problems can hold someone up from the good things that are happening all around you.

It’s the small things that can generate a smile for sure.

As for changing the title of this blog, the movie first was just something unexpected, different from the normal, scared to admit but actually touched a  sensitive nerve unfortunately  not the tear duct one. Sums up some of the things I want this writing of mine to do and be. Plus most of the material I pick here and there from conversations so to my pals, I really listen to you which I think as a friend am doing great.

Example, how is when you go to government offices they record most details on the A4 hard covers. Yet the person writing has a computer next to them. It something we are a accustomed to seeing but hasn’t register. It took some from another country to point out for me and it really funny. Maybe the bought in bulk without anticipation of change so they have to exhaust the resource but either way, the way those guys struggle with those books is just hilarious with the pen very ingeniously pinned to a string. Hahahaha. Ponder on that peoples.

lastly,addin on to our own movement ...ujinga ni:

kuweka mchele kwa drink ya yokozuna.

My birthday Gift

Septemper 12th having passed and being my birthday, it was an eventful day unfortunately just not for me. Having turned 23years old though and not having received the conventional birthday gifts from any one other than a lot of wishes from people who am definitely sure if it wasn’t for facebook I would have had a lonelier one am quite thankful for them.
I decided to gift myself up, they say the world is moving fast and if you wait around for people to do things for you, you will die a lonely life. So this blog is a gift to me. Had been meaning to start one for so long and there cant be any better time than on my birthday week. to me..........
We move on to my unfortunate birthday, it was eventfully but on a sad note, home all day in my pajamas bruno mars style -not doing anything [whistle whistle].
but alone,no monkies around.
I decide what, should even junk myself up since I had been on a health run and fitness resolve. So made fries and decided to watch some TV since I was all loaded up with movies. Am welcomed by some gruesome images of people burnt from the Sinai incident and since its my day am allowed to be selfish.
I start thinking to my self how my birthday cant catch a break” some time ago 9/11 to the spot light from me now this………………
so far my bday was crashing like the buildings clearly.
but I get back to my senses after seeing how the situation is bad and start praying I don’t have anyone that I knew or know whose among the victims.
I decide to get back to my solo celebrating birthday, am a huge fun of anime and their graphical novels. Bleach, naruto and onepiece can keep me glued to a screen all day.
            

   
Only time I can get to be a nerd though I don’t have an alta ego like Beyonce , Sasha Fiece. I don’t even no what that means. Does she morph into someone else like Bruce Wayne to Batman?
I had episodes of onepieces so was catching up t were the rest of the world are at before I started dozing off. I decide I should get back to the real world and watch an actual movie. Looking I have captain America and friends with benefits.
Having spent my day watching what many would say idiotic cartoon, captain America was obviously not a movie of choice that would have just been redundancy plus friends with benefits has sex! [Smiling grimly thinking what if my mum gets to read this].
One of the reasons I started the blog was because in the movie Justin gets head hunted because of a successful blog. Then I start thinking I really need that shortcut of a relationship right about now. I wouldn’t be alone on my birthday if I had a cool none attached no fillings no complications relationship. Much as its cliche and some always falls. Things is before they fall its really fun. Not so bad. Any am not reviewing the movie but alot of similarity with no strings attached but definitely had its moment’s e.g two traffic lanes suddenly switching to one lane, mayhem!!!

That was actually my day and I was still hopeful that at night it would get better maybe all even have some cake or be a little richer, none of them happened. [shaking head in realization of how sad that was].
Funny bit though, while watching news, the dstv advert come where they move from past to present with two kids sharing a seat while watch a projector to adulthood when they have kids of their own watching PVR, amazing thing is our generation has passed through all that fro the Jesus movies outside in the cold, to ocha connecting Tv to a battery and now am a whiz with the dstv remote. I can relate unlike kids born from 1992 who are now turning 18 and look older than me and are crowding westie.
So this is my intro,in summary am older am single am a nerd-ish-age of the geeks seriously what can you do without a computer or a smart phone. hence my justification of being a geek one in a while.

summary this has been my introductory blog so had to be about me and reason for tittle is, that number haunts. for instance right now my favorite album 4x4+=12 deadmaus. end of blog, no quote or nothing.  just have a listen at the ingenious dubstep. like I said this !st was all about me.
