COOL WATERS.


I am at work right now but I think seeing 500 views from the diaspora means people are looking for news, I have only good ones to share to the disappointment of pessimists. The country we love to live in is doing well and am surely not gonna miss out on this opportunity to congratulate the colourful beauties of Kenya.

I will not even lie to anyone; we were just as worried as ya’ll out there for our well-being and resurfacing of the darkness in us. In all honesty I am more shocked and happy than I have been in a while. The Election Day for me was just full of phone calls from friends urging me to get up quick and go vote. Please note 5years ago I think I was the only one within my age bracket running to mark my ballot paper. On this eventful Monday I saw civic responsibility that I have not witnessed in all those Iraqi war movies in the last decade. A beautiful thing I must say.

So afterwards, pals got back together in private homes to watch every single minute of the results that have been televised day and night ever since. By the way, that’s what most are still up to right now. So? Empty streets and empty desks at work; someones might be outta work while a new president gets a job. Perfect time to review and send out my CV :-).

That said do not entertain the notion that Kenyans are a fighting or too scared to live their lives. On Facebook and Twitter we are still busy doing what we do best. Making the meanest funniest jokes about the vultures we have managed to kick outta the Chambers and the world and the wait they are having with their breaths on hold. You must make time and read them, funny as fuck most of them directed to CNN lol.  

That said in this self-awarded vacation, I shall be writing a poem for the coming 50th anniversary Kenyan Independence Day. You can only imagine the kinda motivation I hold right about now.

Kujivunia nayo.

POLLS!

hehehehehe It is disrespectful and silly of me to have such lovely people reading and take so long to write. So this shall be me paying up my dues….(30mins later) Now I have started writing this blog thrice and I give myself an excuse of why I should not make ‘that’ a public reading when I start. Making it obvious that I have been having so much trouble writing simply because that voice in my head (I got a few too many) can’t stop giving me excuses on why not. So we shall work with me writing about whatsoever I wanna write about and you reading only what holds your interests (like when was it not, some may ask?). Let’s give the lesbians a break and focus on a little bit more than me trying to impose my ideas, beliefs or lack there off in most cases on them. So today I shall speak of something that I think is imperative for all LGBTI persons in our country to think through.      Here we have Kenya going to the polls in the next few months and the public joins hands to ensu

My body called you this morning, I woke to a room full of breathe and I swear, I tasted your scent in my mouth.  My eyes were blurred by the gifts of your form And my cheeks, fully stretched. You know how I can't draw a cup, right? My fingers had written in hieroglyphs Each of my fantasies all over the sheet and each period was you.  You once called me a performer, And all I heard was the only audience I needed.  Last month I didn't dial your number once And I haven't read any Art of war that prepared me for that.  I don't smile each morning lately and my demons are seated on each face I meet, But your smile in my memories cleanses me enough to still catch some sleep I had a difficult night at the bar yesternight. But the 5 minutes I spent On the spot you once placed your beer And with entitlement you inquired 'Why don't I love you anymore?' Washed it all away. I don't remember my deeply thought through well structured answer, But I

WHO RUN THE WORLD???

GAYS!! So I did it again...running my mouth, in this case my fingers got me blogging right now when my time would be so awesomely divided in my work. Its started today in the morning when I got a text from my boss that Kiss FM just advertised the Programs Coordinator vacancy we have at The Gay and Lesbian Coalition of Kenya where I work as the Research officer. Yes! earthlings, I work with them.  The first mistake that heterosexuals make is starting any statement with the 'THEM' word. Early in the week I was in a panel conducting interviews and some guy kept saying THEM while referring to the LGBTI (Lesbian, Gays, Bi-sexuals, Transgender and Intersex) for those of you who need the basics.  My morning got wayyyyyy more interesting when I got to work and checked out Caroline Mutoko's update that was actually a job advert for the position. So we have at this time over six hundred comments on the update in the following categories 1. Homophobes throwing their
