Dede feeding escapades

2006-10-24T17:37:00.000-05:00

Back in the day
In primo we used to catch dede's(grasshoppers) and especially the big ones(locusts) put in in your desk yani "your own personal dede".

Then you take a fresh blade of grass and feed the dede! The big ones used to eat fasta fasta,at break time you fungia it in your desk til break is over come back witha fresh piece of nyasi(grass) and give it its break.

Unfortunately it was a day school and we used to take a mat home about forty min drive .It couldnt survive the long journey so you lock it in your desk and woishe in the morning you'd find it dead! legs up in the air.

In our school we had a pastor called Reuben he used to do the requiem mass.We dig a hole,put the 'dede' in a match box and flowers on top of the grave and a little wooden cross.Say final prayers!

Oh this story i remembered a couple of days a go saw a one-legged dede outside my door!!

Dede stories anyone??

THE letters!

2006-09-06T23:58:00.000-05:00

Got this from my good friend J,thanks.Thought i should share! Its kinda long but bear with me.

Do you remember those letters that jamaas used to write to chicks
they had met after Music and Drama fest.

Here's one of the many letters a friend of a pal's brother, cousin's uncle baby daddy came across a friend's locker in High
School:

Sunday, July 10, 1988 (0159Hrs)

To my dearest, sweetest, fondest, fantastic, extra-ordinary, paragon of
beauty a.k.a Lizzy

I hope this missive meets you in a fabulous state of metabolism, if so
doxology. My principal aim of writing this letter to you is to
gravitate
your mind towards a matter of global and universal importance to my
ego,
which has been troubling my soul.

The matter is so important that even as I am writing my adrenalin is
rocking
100 on the Reitcher scale, my temperature is rising, the wind vane of
my
mind is pointing North, South and East at the same time while the
convex
mirror in my eyes has only your divine image at it's focal point.
Indeed
when I sleep you are the one in my medulla oblongata and I dream about
you.
I went out to sea in my dream and I saw you; surrounded by H20 and you,
your
majesty rose from the abdomen of the sea like Yemoja, the avatar of
beauty.

Oh, Lord be with us! We are thy servants! As you can see, I am in a
serious
dilemma and I want you to take my matter seriously. At this junction
what
our Lord said on this matter is germane. He says we should ask and we
shall
be given, we should seek and we will find, and that we should knock and
it
will be opened unto us. I am- on this 10th day of the seventh month in
the
year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and eighty eight- asking,
seeking and knocking at your door. My prayer is that thou should open
so
that thy servant can enter. I want to wake up in the morning and see
only
your face.

I want you to be the only sugar in my tea, the only fly in my ointment,
the
butter on my bread, the gray matter of my system, the oxygen in my
lungs,
the planet of my universe, the wall clock of my room and the conveyor
belt
of my soul. I pray that you realize the gargantuan nature of my
predicament. If you refuse, my life will be like tea without sugar,
like a
snail without shell, an Xmas goat without a horn; in fact I'll become
an
orphan.

What is life if I can't wake up in the morning and behold your face?
You
model of pulchritude, patiently created by God on a Sunday morning
before He
went on a deserved holiday. Please Lizzy, let me be your Romeo. Make me
your
Adam oh my Eve, for you were made for me. Shakespeare said it
all: If music be the food of love, play on. I want to emphasize,
universally
and responsibly, that you are love itself. You are the metaphor,
oxymoron,
thesis, antithesis, irony, gerund, conjunction and the adverb of love.
Let
me also say that the geography of your body is a permanent alleluia.
Your
body exudes not ammonia, urea and iodine - You are too beautiful for
that!
What I see in your body is milk and honey.

At this juncture brevity is the soul of wit. A stitch in time saves
nine.
Procrastination is the thief of time. An opportunity once lost can
never be
regained. Make hay while the sun shines. All that glitters is not gold.
The
journey of a thousand miles begins but with a single step. What
God has put together let no man put asunder. To be a man is not an easy
task
even if God's time is the best. But time waits for no man. A man
without
love is like a fish out of water. I know you are a sagacious girl. If
you
like the veracity of what I am saying, please fill the attached form
and let
me have it pronto. The mark at the bottom of this page is a kiss from
me to
you.

I remain, Your beloved, faithful, loyal, One and only admirer.
Extractineous
Hanington Omolo Son Of Omondi.

10. Have mothers who can use curse words and religion ALL IN ONE SENTENCE e.g. "Lord, give me strength because I'm about to knock the hell out of this child"

11. Spend the car insurance money on everything EXCEPT getting the dent
fixed.

12. Invite co-workers and all of their friends to their child's 1st birthday party which happens to have a professional DJ with only about 3 kids (including the child) in attendance. And then expect the guests to "changa" for the bash.

13. Start every sentence with "Me I..."e.g. "ME I donno why you are saying
that I always say 'Me I'.

14. Say 'Spend' when they are staying the night elsewhere from home, e.g. "Are you going to spend at her place?"

16. Use "Ngai" as an exclamation mark e.g. "Ngai, what are you doing?"

18. Think it is cool to drink and drive and get away with it "I don't know how I got home that day..the way I was soo drunk!"

21. Call travelling "flying out" e.g. She flew out (no one ever seems to wonder where all these Kenyans fly to)

22. Think that taking a clerical job in a company is better and "cooler" than toiling in their parents' family business.

23. Prefer washing cars and dishes in USA to toiling in their 20-acre tea farms in Kenya.

24. Call their homes "at ours". e.g., "At ours, we eat Githeri every day"

25. Complain for five years about poor governance and corruption then vote
in the same clowns back to parliament.

26. Have a chief Justice who has no law degree!

27. Go on strike for one day and expect the govt. to resign!

28. Sit back in their homes and expect their MP to "bring Development"

calamity strikes... thro' Harambee.

30. Sit calmly and sometimes cheer as a mad man drives them in a ramshackle
at breakneck speed to certain death.

31. Drive with their windows wound up when they get to city centre because
of 4-year-old brats armed with human feaces, and still claim to be free
people!

Q.
I am 31 years and was born out of wedlock. I am single and working in Nairobi. I have tried to search for a lady born out of wedlock for a relationship but in vain. Do you think this is high to turn to a sugar mummy? MS.
A.
Who said there are sugar mummies looking for men like you who were born out of wedlock? I think you need to look for a woman and it shouldn’t matter whether or not she was born out of wedlock.

Lines from my favourite Kenyan songs!!

Remember the last songs for most clubs when closing was this one Wacha Waseme,you an dyour pals hit the dance floor one last time!!

Watasema Mchana usiku watalala!!

The interlude were deadly thats when you pose the suddenly drop a ka deadly dance much to the cheer of the bartenders and people sweeping and waking up drunkards.

Kinyaunyau kikiacha kupweza hata mambo hamtayaweza!!

You are shaking like those Giriama dancers who used to dance for Moi shaking their tail feathers on the shoulders. It's called Kamabeka in Kisii .

My first Love Paulo,KALENJIN SISTERS.

This article is about the irs origin My new love is now Njosphat!! LOL

It is at Kericho's legendary Chandarana Studios that the famed Kalenjin musician Kipchamba arap Tapotu. Kipchamba, popularly called "Ndume wa Rift Valley," You probably remember them for Paulo My Lover, which they released way back in 1997. Five years later today, the Kalenjin Sisters are back with a bang.

They are minus one of their members, though, who died a few years ago – but they remain as much a sensation now as they were then. Original member Angelina Chepkoech is teaming up with Stella Cherono and other talented singers, as well as back-up musicians from Kericho – arguably the homeland of Kalenjin music.

A few observations.......

1. Nime fanya job 52 hours in two days,dont ask me how!!!Am asked what i smoke? SUNFLOWER SEEDS!

2. Michael Jackson remember the trial he proved to us (humans) that we are afraid of a 'super' human being. Alikuwa mblack sasa mwhite na bado nimnoma either way white or black actually i think his life is a statement,either way am good at what i do choose how you want me? Chaguo ni lako!
Everybody knows him even in villages in Zimbabwe. We fail to understand how much power he commands just from his music.And some of us derive pleasure from seeing such a human being been pinned down. His music is truly inspiring.

Reminds me of Sukuma bin Ongaro!

3. Am not a kadiehard MJ fan i just give credit where its due!!!

4. Whats the issue with Kenyans getting drunk and fighting?

Good week Y'all.

National Aids vaccine Program- The constant gardener!

2005-08-09T08:42:00.000-05:00

I remember last year we had all these media incentives to volunteer for the National Aids Vaccine program in Kenya asking for 18-25 year olds Aids Negative to volunteer for the research and development of the Aids Vaccine apparently the vaccine wasnt developed. Some ended up positive even though that possibility had been ruled out.

Not trying to thaw the noble true intent of the program but if our people were being used as guinea pigs just to get the drug written 'Human tested' at the label. Hell No.

The Constant Gardener is coming out on the theatres http://www.theconstantgardener.com/ on 26th august. The corruption is contagious,Pharmaceautical companies using Kenya as a guinea pig ,we are sacrificing our intergrity and our people lives just for money!
Even the setting is in Kenya!

Eagerly waiting to see the movie and i know for sure it will be disturbing!

Flip outs!

2005-06-23T00:01:00.000-05:00

Have you seen people lose their minds',Today i experienced some,

1.Today a Kenyan at the Lib,starts taking out computers ati they belong to him,keeps asking everyone when today is and what time it is.

2. 3 months ago in school another starts screaming in class goes outside gathering leaves and stacking them up.

Warning: Anybody coming out here be careful,Life aint easy talk to people release your stress!

Years ago your father served with Mandrew's father in the Communist Wars. We at the Mandrew collective are working on a song of our own for the new wars.

We have this much:
"because saddam stole my turkey
oh that dirty haji stole my turkey
because saddam stole my turkey
he took the refrigerator too."
We need help.

One third of Mandrew is opposed to the refrigerator line.

Please send us lyrics and let us get the whole blogosphere to craft a song that will do more for popular culture than the new Harry Potter book.

Confessions of a blogger.

2005-06-09T19:28:00.000-05:00

1. Everytime i look at my blog the template doesnt seem quite right,so hmmm.........let me try this one you wish you kinda had a larger variety.

2. A blogger is always checking for comments,or am i the only one who does? Thought of a mobile alert,some people in Google already thought about it.

3. Most blogs are deadly but sometimes the content is just too much cant grasp much after half a page but its all good.

4. I started a small book to write all the interesting things i have seen and hopefully post them at the end of the day,sometimes the hype of an issue is when you write it when you are all pysched up about it.

Just a few observations.

Another blogger has a more defined list click here

Dog market in Kachmega

2005-05-08T08:16:00.000-05:00

I have always been telling my friends from other parts of Kenya that we have a dog market in Lubao,Kach.Finally someone else has put it down for me.Here is the link.

When we were growing up our puppies used to be stolen.My dad finally lay a trap for the culprit and found out it was our shamba boy.A small puppy goes for 50 bob. It's still in existance from 1958.Absolutely interesting!

They even have a dog council for the traders.
"Samson Shaka, a council employee at the market, says the dog owners pay a levy of Sh20 each regardless of the number of dogs. "You see we charge them a flat rate because sometimes someone may come with about eight dogs but only sell one, so it wouldn’t be fair for us to charge them per dog," he says." They adhere to strict rules set by the council.

Oh, there is a permit required to move the dogs from the locals to the market!

Neighbourhood Askari Lucy!

2005-04-30T22:00:00.000-05:00

Who is your mother? No one plays loud music next to my house hata kama wewe ni Mkubwa wa World Bank!! Drama as Lucy's sleep is disturbed! Check this out. What did i tell you?

Sizzling hot!!!
Mrs Kibaki was protesting that the music was too loud. First signs that there might be trouble were seen in the afternoon when technicians and musicians were setting up and testing the sound system. Mrs Kibaki came over and ordered them to dismantle everything.
They only resumed after Mr Diop consulted State House and told them to proceed. Then at night when the party was getting into full swing, Mrs Kibaki stormed in accompanied by bodyguards, demanding that the music be switched off.

Singer Eric Wainaina recalls: "I was still on stage preparing to do my second song when she turned up. She had like five bodyguards and ordered the music to be stopped from playing. It was so embarrassing since she is the First Lady and even diplomats had been invited.

"She could not listen to anyone, not even to Mr Diop himself. In fact she started asking irrelevant questions such as ‘who is your mother?’ It was so bad. What she was wearing was not very clear to me, but it looked more like some blue track suit or pyjamas."
Mercy Myra concurred, telling her version of the same incident, and recalling how Mrs Kibaki came in at around midnight yelling at the guests to leave.

"She shouted at Mr Diop that he would not be allowed to disrupt her peace just because he is leaving the country," Mercy said.
Some of those present witnessed Mrs Kibaki trying to unplug the music system and shouting that "This is Muthaiga, not Korogocho".
She told the guests that they could go and continue their party in Korogocho, one of Nairobi's biggest slums.

She paid no heed to Mr Diop's explanations, even as the World Bank executive tried to tell her that he had informed President Kibaki about the party, and the president had no problem with it.

Mrs Kibaki came to the residence three times, ignoring angry party goers who started singing in defiance. On her last call at around 1.00am, she was denied entry by the security guards and went away.

Two of her children, Judy and David, were present Mummy Mummy Stop it! Stop it, you are embarassing us!

Mrs.Kibaki:You can continue it in Korogocho!!!

This mama is nuts!!

Kibaki Meme

Kibaki meme.
Kijiti ya thinker, bankelele na githush...,afromusing...here we go!
1 a. Do u think Kibaki is LAZY?
hes been waiting so long to be president,that he doesnt believe hes president.Sleep on zzzzzzzzzz....
1 b. Give an instance of when he portrayed LAZINESS as president.
How can he send his wife to announce that he'll be running in 2007,in my opinion hes too lazy to announce it himself!
2 a. What trait do u find the single most detrimental to the national cause?
His 'hands off' approach to problems in Kenya and the fact that they go to great lengths to hide which minister stole money where! Implicating that they are all involved the whole basket of potatoes gone bad!

4. Do you wonder where Wambui, the Hillary Rodham of Kenya, ever went to?
I know she's going about her normal business and living in her nice house in Lavington happily ever after.In fact she gained from the press coverage.
5. Do you care How much influence the First Lady has over decisions made by the president?
It is very clear she is running the govt.What am worried about is how much influence Kibaki has over his wife?
7. Did you vote in 2002 General Elections? (must answer). Yes and i happened to be a polling clerk, saw how misinformed voters were.Some came with their voting card and a corresponding flier for the consecutive party,removing them together at the same time.If Kanu had made a rally in that area Kanu it was,NARC came visiting NARC it was.. Not the policies advocated by either party but the their appearance in that area,where i was located that was the first time they had seeen these politicians in real life and never again have they seen them
8 a. Do you care?
It doesnt really matter what i care,th egovt right now is just stashing money away and until theres an overhaul of Govt, i have no comment since its "nonconsequential"as Raila with all due respect ever put it.

Its amazing what the Kenyan assoications do when someone is in need of help during bereavement.Am lucky where i am,they are active esp. in case of death.I hope those overseas are as lucky.If not,start one near you! Remember those 'merry go rounds' at home.It works support them.You never know who is next!

Update: Kiss FM literally refurbished their web page! Interesting just hope they dont keep it stagnant again for another several months like wakilisha.com does with Kenyan music videos. I wish we had KTN and Nation TV access in the U.S especially the Flipside,political mischief articles pieced together every week and Newshot.A kashort preview in case you've never seen! Scroll to the bottom the website is pathetic!

Hi, i had the chance to go to university in Kenya before i came to the U.S. Kenyan students are a much happier lot they like to talk to each other,find out whats going on in each others' life.I was so shocked my first class no one was friendly they are all so cold and insensitive.Am getting used to it tho. The multiple choice questions which were left in primary are back at the university level.It should qualify to be called 'Reverse brain development' i feel more daft than i was a few years ago.Anyways i guess its called development first world! Kudos to all those Kenyan lecturers giving very hard CATs it helps academic devt.
I miss Kenyan music the most.Capital and Kiss online are misbehaving when its the shows most of us want to hear like The top 30 count down they cant play the music online.I wish they could do something! especially today on Friday. Lovely weekend.
Weekends in Kenya are full of fun here if you are not drinking you are sitting here like me blogging for fun.Enjoy it while you u can.
