Gee..

I have stared at this blinking cursor for more than 3 minutes thinking of a catching way to begin writing this post but i guess i don’t need to be a literary genius to let all that is in my mind out. Some thoughts don’t need witty and clever selection of words.

For a guy who has been a flirt, pervert, an underground ladies man and a silent player, this comes as a “career” ender. That magnetic spell you cast on your victims even when you are not ready to commit, when they tell you they are falling in love and you are like ‘it’s happening all over again’…this same spell is now performing a boomerang and now am the target.

Gee..as she would shorten her name in a way that still turns me on just like her full name, is the girl with the boomerang effect on me right now. So tiny, petite, lively as her cute smile and so womanly, she is a package that has been driving me crazy of late.

Don’t you want a woman who matured early enough to know about investment, to want to do her MBA and progress in her career, one who pays her own bills at 24 (rent, food, siblings upkeep stipend etc) and doesn’t have to camp at daddy’s house till she is 30…tell me won’t you die for one like that? That is Gee for you. Regardless of her shortcomings, i take her as she is and with her efforts we can mold each other into something. Question is, is she up for someone like me?

PS. Gee if you are reading this, i would love to tell you that am no longer the pervert, flirt, player, womanizer and ladies man that i was before. I have learned the need to choose and be satisfied with the best that i have found and that is you.

‘TELECOMMUNICATING’ ENGINEERING FELLAS

I harbor no bias or mean no offense as i publish this post but you should know that i find this particular group of engineering students (in particular) very interesting. Just take a look at that title above there; isn’t it a mouthful already? Telecommunication and Information Engineering: I mean who gives an course such a long name? By the time i am done saying it all, my audience would probably be dozing.

Enough of the hating now, or should i just begin. I am one in particular so anything cruel i say here just know that am in the mix..*a little chuckle*.

1. T.I.E, as i will now refer it due to its forever taking nature to type and pronounce, is an engineering program carved out from EEE (electrical and electronic engineering). It is primarily deals with the study of signals, their characteristics and their transmission. In short they study about invisible stuff; you can never see a signal, touch it nor feel it. You just work your way around it unlike other engineering disciplines where motors, transformers, gears, metals etc are studied.
   

   Signals from a BTS (base transceiver station)

2. Unless you really can explain yourself well, you will always be confused as doing IT or computer science related stuff. No one will believe that signals stuff anyway in as much as you may tell them. They are just some misunderstood bunch of fellas.
3. They are in constant battles with ERB (engineering registration board) over accreditation, syllabus stuff and recognition in the industry. But you know government agencies how they are, always trying to make problems instead of solutions. This ERB -TIE war is one that will drag for a while but am sure the latter will win. Am banking on it.
4. Competition for jobs with IT, Computer science. IMIS, BIS and others information related courses is rampant nowadays. The data communication front is the most common trend. On GSM communications EEE guys are also considered. And the rise of Cisco and Juniper networking academies with certifications like CCNA and JNCIA are becoming a threat to them.
   

   Yeah Cisco, f**k you for being a threat to us.

5. These fellas are too sidelined when matters engineering are on the table. They are smart asses (trust me on this), reserved, and too idle. You can think of them as Tired and Idle Engineers. It fits them well that way

GONE TOO SOON..?

I am sure if you are a rock lover that title catches your attention faster than you can blink and it all comes down to one name…Daughtry. That song of his album (Break the Spell) is a nice and emotion raking hit. Not only does it bring me to my emotional senses, but it also reminds me of the one gem in life that was and is still dear to me..my sister Rose.

Deon and us miss you so much.

The 18th of February 2011 will always be a dark day for the rest of my life. A sister. a mother and a father was taken from us. One would wonder how one person could have all those titles but you managed to pull them off very well to four young siblings at an age that was unbelievable. You were a true blessing to us.

Your son misses you and looking at him i see myself in him, left at a tender age not knowing what to make of his fate. Life is cruel but i know the Lord God is watching over him. I know Deon will get through this, difficulty or not. I am an inspiration. I came through and became the man i am now through all the cruelties of this life. And as i force these tears in my eyes back in, please look over your son as we try to repay the effort you sacrificed for us.

You bloomed in our lives. We are truly appreciative.

Just like the rose flower, so beautiful and nicely scented, you were beautiful in our lives. We will always miss you and this song, Gone Too Soon will always be a tribute to you when i listen to it.

IS THIS WHAT THEY CALL GAY?

I gotta give it to the youth, in particular KOT, for blowing this ‘gay thing’ out of proportion. I mean, social morals nowadays are being watched from the perspective of ‘is whatever you are doing inclined to gayness’ instead of ‘is it moral or not’.

But since it is a sensitive issue and no relevant youth (particularly dudes) would like to get caught offside, below is a ‘tiny’ list of stuff that is termed gay (by no one in particular) no matter how you try to justify it to other people:

1. A dude saying ‘aaaaww’, ‘woiyee’, ‘aki imagine my friend blah blah..’ and any statements inclined to such a tone is a no no! It is kabadian (ask KOT this) and should you say that you should die in the next minute.
2. Putting a smiley at the end of a tweet or text message to another dude. Why the hell would your fingers stray into that typing territory? You are not trying to impress him no matter what the contents that tweet/text is containing. Attach a meme of a fist bump or something instead.
3. Listening to Justin Beiber (this is a common one), Adele, Taylor Swift and apparently Bruno Mars which i highly disagree. Need i say more on this?
4. Watching some male ego draining programmes/tv shows like Idols, Glee & other musicals, desperate housewives, soap operas (damn our local tv channels) and wedding shows. These will strip you of your male identity slowly while you are watching.
5. Taking photographs (in Kirigwi like poses) in bathrooms or behind mirrors. Dudes don’t take pictures of themselves anyhow unless they are with family or girlfriends. This extends to photo shoots for social site profile pictures. Let me start by singling the Tusker Project Fame judge’s photo that circulated on Twitter.
6. Wearing skinny jeans, supras, tight v-neck yellow and purple tees…oh Lord what has come into these high school kids (and a few “grown up” men)??
7. “Xaxa Xwity, niko Pouwa” has now evolved into the current gayish bulshit that is “Quenda Huckoe, Quja Qawangware/Qayole/NaQs/Qomarock..” If a dude texts you this unfriend that MoFo. When will people learn?
8. Dudes are known to be rough to each other in their communication. Stuff like “i missed you” is extinct. They now use “vipi buda/boss, umelost aje..” and other ghetto slang. Stay relevant guys.
9. Window shopping. Dudes don’t window shop on a regular basis. That is girlish stuff. Go to the store one day ask the price and the next day you’ll be there again is with cash. Don’t go around town every evening after class claiming to be checking out prices. We dudes are not wired that way. Using your phone to visit PricesKenya or OLX is allowed.

Other petty behavior like saying hi to a fellow dude, hugging/holding hands or endlessly texting with a dude might feature a gay to some people so better keep updated about this. You can also choose to live your own life devoid of all the social stereotyping (e.g. all the above) and ignore that all this gayish stuff is just fiction. Your choice. Feel free to add to the list.

MY KOT DARLINGS

I as much as I’ve tried to keep away any Twitter blogpost here, i am compelled to make a note on the damsels that have caught my eye (and my other parts). You see am a normally functioning male and that would pit me in the TeamMafisi clique and adding a little perv activity makes complete. All i hope is those i mention below won’t take it the wrong way or feel offended that they have been mentioned without their express permission.

@CiikuGitonga
I should blame her for introducing me into the Twitter After Dark world and ensuring that i get addicted to it, not literally of course. I don’t know what happened to her horny, sexy and wet episodes every night. Let me just assume she’s reloading. What i can say is that Getrude Mungai has nothing on her and if she offered sex lessons i would be the first student to enroll. Please come back Ciiku.

@missmoons
GOAAL!! I think everyone has seen such a tweet from this handle. She is the mother of all girls/ladies who loves football. Just read her bio and judge for yourself. When not tweeting i can guess she is opening online pages of Daily Mirror or The Sun Football or flipping Supersport channels. Don’t argue with her on any football fact unless you have just googled it especially Man United ones. She is the football wife i dream of every weekend after i’ve just watched an Arsenal match which we lost. If only she would reply or retweet me after I’ve posted any football-related tweet. If she hasn’t gone to Old Trafford then it must be one of her life ambitions. And she is beautiful too from all those funny avatars where she dons red lipstick and eats watermelons. What a lady!

@ruthshizzle and @WiniNkinda
They were nice to me when i was a newbie, they clothed me, fed me and were some of my first followers. The cute @ruthshizzle as yellow yellow as ever, you are my girl even though you twicide every now and then. @Wininkinda was the first celeb follower and as humble as she is, the celeb vibe hasn’t gotten into her head like we all know who. You are remembered too DJ Sherrif.

@Urban__shawty
My heart lacks words to describe her. She is a darling…a darling.

@Coly_S
She is the D Whisperer. I’ve never asked her what that means but the ideas i usually get in my head are unblogable. Grey eyes (you don’t see these everyday) and a nose ring are her trademark though i can figure numerous piercings on some other places. Plus she is sexy AF and very discrete too. You will find her on her lane busy with ‘lol’, ‘lmao’, ‘haha’ kind of retweets alongside her partner in crime @martin_silver.

@DopestChiQa and @ShirleyGhetto
Yeah yeah all has been said about these two but on this Dopestchiqa i donno what draws me to her every time. She is cute why lie and from that boobsy photo i saw of her smoking a joint, she is well endowed. Plus the luscious lips she has and attitude too. You gotta love her. As for Shirley ‘Ass’ Ghetto all i would love to see is that ass that her avatar always dons. That ass must be hers otherwise she can’t be so comfortable putting it up all the time. For the non-hardcore fappers, that ass is quality material.

And to all those others who make my day like @_lorrra aka team forehead aka clubfisiress chair, @tabienony aka miss cutest smile so far and not forgetting @tshirrow (am still looking for the 47 remaining dowry cows).
If you haven’t been mentioned just know that you are too special to be mentioned in a blog.

NOT A COMEBACK

  October 2012 was my last post and almost three months later all has been dormant…actually dead! Blame it on the microblogging site called Twitter. I donno why they call it a social site when it actually it is a microblog – different genres of posts, strictly 140 characters and you can post whatever you want, whichever number of times you want to.
  Sorry i digress. The past two months were a cracker for me to say. Throwing myself into the full time unpaid job of tweeting and complaining about lack of time for my assignments, take away cats and term papers. Considering that those last two months were the longest dryspell consecutive months i have ever had, i had loads of hours (and data bundles) to waste posting too many 140 character logically flowing statements.
  Good thing i survived (i always do) the trouble of last minute piled up workloads in my semester thanks to the Almighty and the exams were done with. It’s just amazing how He can make things work out for you sometimes. Festivities came and as usual not much is expected from me during such times.
  2013 is six days old now and as clueless as i am on what it holds for me, am taking things up on a more practical, riskier and opportunity-wise manner.

The road is not that clear.

Focus in life should feature somewhere here on a forcefully. And lots of networking too. This introvert thing is just fucking things up.
