NAIROBI NIGHT.

My present time is 0133hrs 16/5/2012. why all this unnecessary information you may ask. i got home 5mins ago and now i have Tracy Chapman blasting in my ears. all that is irrelevant...so let me get to tonight's entertainment.  I (IMMAH) has been labeled a million words that boarder from alcoholic to drunk but i like to think of myself as someone who enjoys enjoying her bottle. so ignore all those other ideas and get it from the horses mouth or in this case the drunks mouth. my colleagues from Uganda that i just met for the first time are in town. and what kind of host would i be if i didn't take them to a club and show them a good time? so i decide to be the good host that i would love to have and we are on for a night out before i leave the office. I left the office having made up my mind on getting another tattoo. after that last few months i have had...a girl deserves a gift. so i get there as my other colleagues go to the club. i find my artist busy and so i kill a few

Obama announces he supports gay marriage

 Hours ago the American President Barrack Obama who happens to hold one of the most powerful offices in this world made a speech that was widely televised, speaking of his opinion on Gay marriages.   When on Wednesday night he decided to make an endorsement to gay marriages because of a personal transformation on the issue. There were speculations that the president got to this decision after the vice president Joe Biden embraced the idea of same-sex unions in a Sunday talk show interview. Either way Obama (the man himself) is in support of gay marriages, so I cross my fingers that the serial imitation habits that Kenyans hold will not come to an end right now when we need them most. The   Kenyan LBGTI activists and members of the community may be excited over this statements mainly because the president has a Kenyan born biological father there lays the question of what does that mean for Kenyans. Luckily for us as the LGBTI the KNHRC just coincidentally gave their report on

THE TORCH

Your   touch is my compass To lead me to our home when away To give the words that I may say To linger in my skin forever To keep me warm when I lay My touch is a promise One that I hold trurer than my words One that speaks of only genuine deeds That I will die to keep That I will fight to save That speaks of the lengths I will go to see you next That keep me awake Show me where my arms belong That remind me of the future that you are to me The touch that guide me to our door Have me with no other desire Your touch that is imprinted in my soul That even if the light in my home goes off Shall shine in me Remind you that my being is yours That I will be waiting Until I see the day we share them again When my smile can glow My soul can shine My heart can beat My blood can flow My lungs can fill When I shall hold you as I shou

REDISCOVERY

My work endeavors has led me to a beautiful hotel within the outcasts of Nairobi. A lovely clean-aired resort that reaches deep inside you like a surgeons blade. If you don't feel any connection with your surrounding after being here you need to have a talk with your pastor, shrink, witchdoctor or whatever floats your boat.  What do such environments do any human beings? They make you think. So that could be the reason I woke up feeling like hell. Fucked up tummy, head pains, mood as low as the Monk's. So I write, blog, tweet, entertain as much as I can but it only feels just half as good, the other half distant. That's when I realize that I have lost sight of the tranquility that I had a few months back.  The beauty that I celebrated as 2012, what had made me call it the best year I have ever had. What made me fooled that I finally have my life in the path that I had so tirelessly searched for for the last 20 plus years of my life. That which brings you to the falla
