I have fallen in love with my hair

I have fallen in love with my hair,
It's the kind of love that took sometime,
Sometime is years,
Years of kicking,
Screaming,
Threats,
And tears.

I have finally fallen in love with my hair,
This unruly,
Most times bushy,
Never straight,
Tough as steel wool kind of hair,

Yes I have fallen madly in love with this hair,
It never was like this,
All the fire burnt hot combs,
The bent up blow dryers,
The burns from the chemical.

I hated my hair,
It would never be smooth,
Never sit perfectly still,
And would puff up like an udder,
After a few hours of wind.

But I fell in love with it,
So crazy in love,
With this thick,
Rough,
Kinky hair.

Of break ups

Break ups must be the single most hardest thing to do. You have to use the right wording and timing is a very crucial aspect in it all, you have to read in between moods, different aspects in life and in the end there really is never any appropriate time to do it. You just need to know when to do it. In my case I have been broken up with and I believe I broke up with someone at one point, but I felt like it did not count because I really was not emotionally invested with the individual. I am not a heartless prick but since I was not emotionally attached to said individual it was easier and he just kept giving me every reason to break up with him because I discovered our paths in life were completely different and we just were not on the same page. (well that should be  whole story for another day)

This post really is not about a break up but more about of a quitting which I consider a break up. Am an AIESECer or actually I should say I was an AIESECer. For those wondering what AIESEC is, you can just click on the link provided https://www.aiesec.org/#/about/mission ( I feel like am marketing it at this point and I also don't know how to do that cool here thing and link is all there). Anyway I was a very active member of the organization for the almost one and a half years I have been there, I learnt all that I could in that time and it was fun. So very recently I discovered I could not do it anymore, I lost that emotional connection, the butterflies were gone, the anticipation and the metaphoric hard-on's that you get from carrying out new tasks and I just did not get the thrill anymore. This was a signal that my time at AIESEC was done and it was time to move on ( I didn't know this would be the challenging bit). It took me about a month to tell my "boss" and friend that I was leaving and I had other things to focus on in life. I suck at timing as much as I suck at sugar coating (anytime I think of sugar coating I get an image of pouring sugar on someone, but that's just me). I suck at that art and I have tried so many times but I always just come out and say it. What I kept wondering the whole time is "how do people manage to get through with break up??" It hurt to see the look of shock and then disappointment in her eyes and this little tremble she had (maybe anger, maybe fighting back tears or her words). Then she spewed out five words I did not want to hear, "You looked like the quitter"....I slapped her there and then (well, I wish I did). I just stood there shocked and explained to her my reasons. I swear break ups are so exhausting!

LIFE OF AN ALCOHOLIC

First shot,
I will only be here for a short time,
Head starts to feel dizzy,
You clutch your car keys,
Must get back to wife and children,
They convince you,

Second shot,
I think I was going somewhere,
But I feel so nice,
Did you watch the match yesterday?
We begin a long heated argument,
My team is better am convinced,

Third shot,
I don't remember what am supposed to be doing,
I get up and start dancing to the music,
I take a glance at my watch,
Damn it!it's 10 o'clock,
How time seems to fly.

Few shots later,
Oww, now its blurry,
I can't even finish a sentence,
Oh no, wife and.........
Am going,
Can't find my keys,
I pass out.

#Someone tell Kenyans.

Today Kenyans woke up to the news that their one and only beloved international airport,Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, was on fire. When it began at 5 AM it was a small fire that could be dealt with easily, but by the time I woke up at 8 AM the fire was still on and by around 8:30 is when the breaking news headline read: Fire contained. Well this was hours after the fire began,clearly (captain obvious in the building). This just shows how much the fire brigade is given such little attention, how is it even possible for a whole fire truck to appear at a fire scene with no water to put out the said fire Most of the fires that happen are always rarely contained an each year we always have that one major fire incident and it always starts as something small but since we have an almost non existent fire brigade department it is actually expected.

This is not the first time I have heard that the fire truck arrives at a scene with no water but for so many years it has never changed but as always we have the shortest attention span going on so we immediately forget this. But before we forget it will be a trending topic on twitter with all the hash tags and it will be the most updated thing on Facebook. Depending on the tragedy of a situation or lack of tragedy of the situation dictates how long people will talk about it. If it was a very tragic the hash tags and updates only last for a day or a couple of hours with people airing their sentiments on hash tags like  #prayfor....On the other hand when a less tragic incident occurs people could go on and on about it for up to weeks!This just shows that most of the people are more interested on the things that do not really affect the country. Like you remember the #someonetellNigeria hash tag? That one went on for weeks on end it even got lame, I mean just because our football players were not given the reception they expected,not you but someone else and that really does not affect you in any way but we went on and on with the trending topic. But as soon as something significant happens its only a one day affair,something that will affect the economy of the country or the country as  a whole we choose to talk about it for a day and stay put and quiet about it. This was one of the reasons I quit twitter at first, I never really got to explain it to anyone but it actually inflames. The reason we are easily manipulated by our politicians is because they know we have the shortest attention span ever,I used to believe it was two weeks but from what I really see is that it just lats a day or two and we are back to look for something irrelevant. #Someonetellkenyans they need to style up and focus on the issues that actually affect us

Pen and paper

All he has is a pen and a paper,
Dots make lines,
Lines make figures,
He picks up his brush,
Strokes in different directions,
Voila!art and history are made.

All she has is a pen and a paper,
Behind the fancy desk,
Seated on the plush chair,
She's concentrating,
Zeros are all she seems to be writing,
Voila!a fat bank cheque is what you get.

All he has is a pen and a paper,
He pushes up his spectacles,
Looks at the crowd,
Smiles at the people as they look up at him disapprovingly,
He looks back down,smiles,then writes,
Voila,and with that the death sentence of a country is written.

All I have is a pen and a paper,
I scribble frantically,
Hoping to please myself,
I think maybe one day someone will appreciate it,
I re-read it hoping and praying that it's good,
Voila!a poem is written.

LIKE A VIRGIN

I had never paid close attention to Madonnas lyrics for the song like a virgin,mainly because I always blushed when I listened to the song and also I find it quite ironic that she talks about going down on someone in "like a prayer". I wonder if she realized she should have switched the titles to this two songs.

Well this been the first blog post it has been painfully hard,pun intended,to write this post because am not too sure what to write because on your first post your seeking to please an audience,seeking to capture their attention with your awesome joke and thoughts.But it is very different for me since this is my first post am still not sure what or who my audience is so I will be that crazy person wandering around in the desert rumbling to themselves hoping to indulge another crazy person out there and maybe just maybe I could establish a bond,make you smile,make you think,bring tears to your eyes,maybe just like that I might become your best online creepy friend.
