nAIROBI tHUGISM

Many at times you do wonder where these peak-time petty thugs in Nairobi learn such tricks from,but i can assure you there aint no one definable thug school they bother attend.Recently i decided to have a nyc time with a street boy after i agreed to buy him lunch simply coz i wanted to kill 2 birds with one stone;to demystify my curiosity and to start off the December with a giving heart,you know what i mean.But i tell you i was more than suprised.

We popped into one of those fries and chicken cafes in town,can gues the scenario.And i tell you this is Kenya coz i enjoyed a good number of eyes wondering ,what the heck!But that i enjoyed coz we manged to get a free table easier than quicker.Then this kawaida waiter,"una rafiki leo"(this my joint bana) and i ordered the package.2 plates and a quarter.

Definately the boy was more delighted with my offer but little did i know.So he started off by telling me about his background life which i sympathised with bearing in mind that i was a bit lucky.The boy never knew who his parents were nor did he recognise if he had any of his relative watching.He continued by telling me how he and his comrades back in the street hustle with those merely but kids being told to borrow money from people walkin in the streets whereas those who were like him(gues the age of 15) indulged in the art of pickpocketing and mugging as their livelihood;the art is a very tactical one coz it involves both mental calculations and gues some physique.Well known spots form the basis of street mugging as well as pickpocketing;those places you find overcrowded,those dark chums, those 'injili'(city preachers avenues) just but to mention.When i asked the boy whether they use any kind of weapons he completly refused to tell me and dared me to buy him another quarter to earn my share.Which i did, after all si its Dec.And so it went,"manze ma'ithaa yu bidi uchomoe ile kitu ukonayo,iwe ni shoi,razor ama ata sindano,ndo upate iyo doe.Unajua kuna wale wasee ofcos wu dinda kucoperate na hii ndio dawa yao".He continued to tell me how it was easy to get down with females coz they are so sensitive to the 'sh' thing and and at tyms to even dudes."Ka sato ni siku poa sana since majamaa wengi woupeleka mamanzi wao out.So ukiget dame ameclad vismart jua we hiyo siku ume shiba"."Vitu ka sindano na razor ziutumika poa usiku since utaconvince msee vile iyo sindano ina virusi na ukienda zaidi umtishie kumdisfigure sura na hiyo razor".Damn this was so,"WAA!"for me coz the truth was really being sunlit.Manze at that moment i was feeling rather scared picturing the boy's innocent face.You know how it goes;like you want to kidnap one, look for the less harmful,but i guess for this case i had quite mistaken or underestimated the potential in that boy.I mean it was a complete mismatch of what i had thought of him!But all the same i had to recompose myself and ask more about mugging regarding mama's vibetis."Aaa,mamatha ni hard kuget hizo vibeti zao lakini strategy you apply most hapa.First, lazma ujue ile kibeti ni size gani alafu umuaproach vitactiful.Kuanua hiyo kibeti saa ndio kibarua lakini ni poa umfuate alafu utaim ile place hakuna wasee,kitu next nikuchomoka nayo".He went ahead to tell me how the 'kibeti robbery' was a large investment just like a bank robbery coz of the variables you find in a mama's kibeti. "Nilipata ufunguo ya gari bana".

I dared not to ask more coz of the chicken thing,but in conclusion he gave me a true story scenario which he was allegedly boasting to me about how ill he was.I tell you in my case, mesmerised was an understatement for the shock the story triggered in me.

Guys,aniwe what had i to say but than that man must live.
I gues this applied.
You know you dont try working out an incorigible fellow's conscise for you might as well end up becoming the victim in the situation.

SERIES

My passion for TV series and other kinds of blockbusters is undescribable.With the flooding of all those new series in the market am left to wonder where we are turning to,but mostly which to watch;it all started as a unique way of maintaining the quite undocumented flow of lengthy blockbusters which turned out to be quite appealing ,economically and flow-maintainingially,dont u think its quite even much cheaper and worthwhile nowadays to go for a complete season rather than buy a single DVD?I mean despite even the contents so to speak!?To me that is definetly a default score and i think that despite what, its gonna remain that for a considerate length of time.

The only worry which on the other hand arises is the replicated versions of these series.Replication having a special tag hereby.A case in point is the Prison Break series which has hit the market with a bang and i can assure you that there are many more that are dubbed in the same context.Ever heard of sleepers cell or girls prison?Dont get amazed to learn that they are from the same director,but get worried to know that the line story is much if not the same a duplicate,the only difference between the latter two and the first is the alloaring expendition that keeps you thnking of what happens to Scoff and Linc.

I quite do appreciate the buld up story line of Prison Break and the sense it creates to any of you who have ever watched it,many others included only that not to name.May be am like inclined to believe that it will eventually win an award(correct me if it has).But definetly that is one of the things that i dont rave for beating around the bush.

My next hot pursuit is the like of The office;(hush)It has a comedy line that leaves you tickled to death.It is much hot than you can think of, if you lie in the context of 'Dont be a menace'(by the Wayne bros).And but to mention is Greys Anatomy which sounds kind like Chicago Hope but is definetly got a unique story flow.That was before i could sit down to get bored to a weekend movie and got used to it that i found this companion that always drives my paros to think that i smoke weed.

Aniway now that i quit less expend going for raves at the expense,i must confess that may be they are addictive!You know i cant wait.

Microsoft Vista

Microsoft paces up!.If you are in love with I.T. am sure the introduction of microsoft latest edition of their O.S,Microsoft windows vista in the market is one hell of a package that you shouldn't miss having. Despite the late release as per expected the package has more lots features as compared to the latter versions of the operating systems in existence.The interface itself is wow!With it along, comes the usual specs of 3GB harddisk space for its deployment and an average of 64Mb of RAM.





The beauty of vista is its adherence to viruses(and all malwares as well) and its hacker friendly,a notion that microsoft is popularising(through the introduction of extremely effective firewalls),but most of all is the soundtracks that microsoft has put along with certains as error messages and pop ups.Dont wonna miss this!




The visual sophistication of Windows Vista helps streamline your computing experience by refining common window elements so you can better focus on the content on the screen rather than on how to access it. The desktop experience is more informative, intuitive, and helpful. And new tools bring better clarity to the information on your computer, so you can see what your files contain without opening them, find applications and files instantly, navigate efficiently among open windows, and use wizards and dialog boxes more confidently








Windows Vista provides two entirely new features to manage windows: Windows Flip and Windows Flip 3D. Flip allows you to flip through open windows (by using Alt+Tab), providing a live thumbnail of each window, rather than just a generic icon and file name





Do i need to tell you about Its windows explorer 7 that am now in touch with?Gues no.And the sophistication continues,ever heard of sleep!?Windows Vista introduces a new power state called Sleep. The new Sleep state in Windows Vista combines the speed of Standby with the data protection features and low power consumption.


Let me just stop there coz the list is endless,all i need to tell you guys is to try and style up with it.Its a stage not to miss!

Crap cast

Its so dummish to be like them!Mostly if you did like hiphop in the early 90's.I mean look at how its been corrupted,from the tunes down to their rhymes.Manze if there is something we should all send to the crap cast it's these jamaaz.
Who can forget of dem lyrics like ".....mwanaume ana vision ajue mi nina mission lakini akitaka tucompete agundue miniko fit first position...(K-shaka)"to such like"...huku nairobi,tunapenda kuwasha,huku nairobiii...hepihepi ni.."(Anonymous) i even havent recognise these dudes yet.

Then the questions; is there a bright future in what appears to be like the rhymes race?In any case are these guys still in the brackets?Aniwe thats why am introducing crap cast to all thee

City Preachers

It probably have happened to you may be even not once or twice,may be you like them may be you dont;They call themselves city preachers.Recently i had my turn of encounter with them in their usual saturday moments of delivering the Gospel, i happened to have entered a 'nganya' to drop me at Innercore,at fast i thought hell had broken lose when he braved the calmness of the vehicle to stand up along with the kange,what made me relax was the Bible in his hands as opposed to what i had thought of him.He claimed to be a missioner from Uganda,some native part of the country that i never bothered to comprehend,however this was not what had made him become a colourful passenger to fill in the nganya,the word did.After the conductor had had his share of collecting the busfare,he proceeded on."..na hebu tuombe..Ewe Mola..."I thought something was wrong but no one was complaining,and after the prayers were over"Tutasoma kutoka kitabu cha waibarania......"This was later followed by some effective translation of the gospel into consumable product for the ordinaries that were mesmerised by the great eforts of the 'God sent'.Then came the moment,"Na kila mtu atatoa kile anacho ndiposa sisi kama wanainjili tuweze kuendelesha kazi ya Mwenyezi Mungu,ntapitisha Bibilia yangu na kila mmoja ataweza kuweka kile anacho katikakati ya kurasa niliyofungua"It was happening' as they talk of it.Fairly, he had won some people and the returns on investment were quite appealing,(i stole a glance as the Bible passed forward)What made me feel even much pressed by the act was when the bus halted at the innercore /kayole rounder,the man matched off,only for me to see him entering the next bus going to tao to complete his full circuite.As i sat back i wondered whether the man had started off the work so late but it later dawned on me that he had made five trips to and fro, an eavesdrop- i got from my immediate forward seated neighbour.

Its only begun!

The race is only begun!..recently i was contemplating my way through the great mazes in Nairobi,the so called 'chums',mnazielewa,then there happened to be these outdoor publicist walking around offering pamplets in regards to their newly opened electrical store,he even had the guts to give me the coordinates to the real location of the so store,gues it wasnt expensive.The store is actually located in the most widely reknown Luthuli street.Non-hestitantly i was overcomed by the urge to pass by and see the real thing.I walked in to be welcomed in by some bhangra dancers,i kept it official,know what i mean.The store however was quite attractive to anyone and i just happened to pop in, when there was a great conflict between the enterpreneurs,some two hindis"....iko nini jamaa,mali bado kuja toka Dbai,yes i was there last week and the consignment should have arrived by now u know,lakini ii watu ya kenya iko matata kweli nakwambia.They are saying we're dumping goods in kenya from overseas,wanaharibu biashara tu.."then the other one"Mekhta,iko ambia wewe mara kuwa hawa wananchi wataanza kujua sisi ninini,you know our goods are fake,toa hongo,shida enda.Biashara inarefuka,lakini jifanye kichwa ngumu......"That was before they suddenly realised they had one customer.It wasnt long before we exchanged our much greetings and off i went.YES, THE FAKISM FACING OUR REALISM.What do you have to say aniway,i can save alot you dumb-head!!,ama?.But remember cheap is always expensive.Kwanza if you have experience in a P.C machine you can translate this.Face it this way,our economy is improving spreading some ailments,does the government want to lose such great customers,ofcourse no!on the contrary we are on the losing end,spending much on diseases we find no cure to.Funnily the economy is growing Its just began!!

Was it really worth it?

You wake up to the suprise of dawn,you start wondering why the breeze is yet so morningly cool yet to be served by such a scenario of the evening events appears so interesting,a few yards make no harm and ofcourse you are not afraid to do so,the quackiling of the ducks as they waddle off the pond,the chirping of the birds,the mooing of the cattle as they get back in the kraal all make a wonderful orchestra,your dilema of whether or not to join in the wonderful orchestra still lingers in your brain.OOH YEAH! it comes back;the day was a normal one yet the transformation it had on you is now tremendeous,the moment being way so short yet it seldomly fades from your memory,it was so drastic,an event that would before,through your friends claim to be lame,how comes it did this?The one puff...just the one..!
