JAM-huri Day Weekend!
After a bit of a blogospheric hiatus (sounds like a scientific name for a disease!), me is back, ready to go crazy this Jamhuri Day weekend! There has been mob drama all up in this place. Seeing that the Prezz has been utterly shafted by all those ministerial rejections (by Jehosaphat, what did he expect by appointing a bum like Maina Kamanda as Minister for Gender and Sports? Bet that dude knows fuckall about sports!), I don't think the brotha is going to have a deadly Jamhuri day. Those White Caps will not go down with utamu as they usually do after a long day at work at State Hse. Many a golf ball will bear the brunt of his fury and frustration. I'm sure he has struck off that all-nighter at Ka-Choi this Sunday for Super Rock (and boy, won't Roosay be maaaad that she has been kaziwad the hanyee this weekend...).
The Hanyeé's weekend will be one dotted with one festivity after the other. Living up to the name, that's all.
- A certain pal is getting hitched today and it's such an unbelievable scene (if you know Sieka, then you will understand why) that we have to be there to take photos and ensure that there is evidence that this isn't just some long-winded hallucinatory occurrence. Plus a lot of other friends will be there, especially at the evening party...yet another good reason to dunda kiasi !
- Yet another pal, this time a dude we grew up in my hood with, is leaving the good old club. Again, I could describe the escapades he has been thru to get thus far and thereby ruin his marriage before it even started!. Congrats (ha! ha! I should be saying "Fare Thee Well!") Maurice.
- What's with all these people that I know and grew up with getting married? Me getting old? Hapana! Pressure to start thinking of nuptials and all? Har-de-ha-ha-ha! First it was uncles (when I was aged 0-11), older cousins (12-18), older neighbours and guys you knew from school (19-22), people you grew up with / shared a diaper pack with / went out with / who were shag-buddies (22-now)....Aaargh!!!! There's no for caving in to pressure!
- Digressing, it's a looooong weekend! Yeah baby! A great Jamhuri Day weekend for sure! And a perfect excuse for all those Kenyans in the diaspora to dodge the RSPCA, PETA and other animal rights activists and sort out how they will sink their teeth into some juicy goat ribs. Accept no substitutes! Meanwhile, after the bones and all have ishad, don't forget to boil them (and the kichwa of course) for a fat sufuria-full of soup. Poi, I guess on Monday we can do a ka-soup instead of the chai :-)
- Making and spending time with J. This is the bit where I type with a "Muttley the Snickering Hound" grin on my face!
Have a funky Jamhuri Day weekend, people! And do tell what no-good you got upto (or plan to get up to) this weekend!
Currently Listening to:
Talib Kweli ft. John Legend - Around My Way
John Legend - Refuge (When it's Cold Outside)
Kanye West - Touch the Sky (samples off a tamu Curtis Mayfield classic, "Move On Up")
Brian McKnight - Crazy Love
