Kumbe nilizimia brazzameeeeeenii! Kumbe nilizimia sista du February 26, 2009

How to blog this delicately.
Brazzameni is a yoh-yoh, and sister du is the girl equivalent. Yaani ma-odinari, mabaabi [er…Barbie?] I cannot for the life of me say this in English, but I, apparently, I’m one. It’s the ‘rasta-feki’ dreads. But I’m doing this wrong.
See, after weeks of dead headphones, I remembered that my phone has [...]

The letter C February 17, 2009

I’m going through some pretty heavy stuff right now, stuff that even blog therapy and pals can’t fix. Plus I’ve lengad two tags from Mo and Archer… so to make up for all the doom and gloom I’ve been spreading, here’s a little something I picked off FB.
Rules:
It’s harder than it looks! Use the first [...]

Attack of the roaches, volume 2 February 15, 2009

I don’t know what it is with me and mendes. It’s like they got this roachiversal memo about my phobia, so they attack me every chance they get.
I was lying on my bed, minding my business, not bothering anybody. I had just let my dreads down. They’ve been tied up [by my hairdresser] in some [...]

Sometimes I hate, hate, HATE this effing place!!! February 14, 2009

I want to go home.
In the real world, you own your money. It doesn’t matter whether you earned, faked it, or stole it – if it’s in your wallet, then it’s yours. But this is TZ, and here, if it has their president and it’s in their borders, then it’s theirs.
Here’s the deal. I like [...]

The spirit of anti-valentine February 13, 2009

I’ve just grabbed a fanta from the office cooler and realised it’s already open. Somebody uncapped the bottle-top then slammed it back on. The innocent in me says a client made a wrong order, and that the guy in charge of sodas didn’t want to waste the drink. The cynic in me is hoping [...]

10 thousand spoons when all you need is a knife!! February 11, 2009

That is how I feel today.
Warning!…
So. Don’t believe in coincidences, but I am pretty stubborn, I admit. I want things my way, on my terms. So when I write a poem and want to post it, then dammit I’m going to find a way to do it.
So I called my resident art critic to look [...]

Pensive February 10, 2009

Feeling a little poetic today. Haven’t felt that way in a long time. **sheepish grin**
It’s a pretty slow day at work, and I’m reading throuh Mine Boy. It’s got me thinking about the idiot Eliza. She’s not an idiot coz of her desires, it’s more har lack of it. It’s silly the way she’s all [...]

Why do people date? February 5, 2009

In high school, I heard boys say they hate those girls who think every boy who talks to them is chatting them up. Unfortunately, I’m one of those girls, so I didn’t get much ‘action’ so to speak.
Truth is, I just don’t understand the whole girl-guy thing apart from the basics of babymaking. I mean [...]

Hollywood daydreams and etc. February 4, 2009

You know those scenes in movies that we internalise and then subconsciously try to reproduce? Like the bended-knee proposal, and the throwing vases at the wall, and the riding a harley into the sunset, the hugging your pillow when your lonely, and the dozing on the verandah in a cowboy hat chewing a piece [...]

Anatomy of CFA February 4, 2009

Here’s my latest theory. A CFA is not CFA.
Hang on, that’s not as dumb as it sounds.
Think about it. CFAs are based on convenience. But as long as two [or more] people are involved in anything, convenience will be relative. Mr A might get hunger pangs while Ms B is busy with Mwaura. Or the [...]
