Hey people,

Hey people,
today was pretty funny, woke up on time. didnt feel like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders coz of it but it felt kinda good to be in class before the lecture started . had a dance performance for 'umoja' from which i learnt 2 things (1) measure ur audience before you perform
(2) some dances look way better from a distance.

Here is a little something that i wrote based on emotions felt today but long since let go. I think ill call it "Hate me"

HATE ME
If you want to hate me,
then hate me,
and hate me for good.
If your gonna do it,
Do it right!
Do it like you should!
Dont do that "flip-flop,
once on top,
then on the bottom,
can't decide which way to go,
wanna have it both ways,
cake and eat it,
bed and sleep in it",
thing that you seem to like doing!
I hate it,
I hate it right, for good, just like I should,
Why can't you.

Highly confused, i know, it was a bit of an emotional runt than a thought our thing.
anyway nyti nyt

hey, weekendi imeisHA

Well,

theres a lot that cut this weekend and im hoping that it will be a signficant weekend in my life. I can let you in on all the info but, a lot of life happened. made it to church this time, Yes!!! the surmon was great! as usual. O.G. had a social at his place (which is pretty tight by the way) and that was fun, danced and DJed and then watched nigerian movies with the rest of the jamaz. it was fun. messed up my carcadian rythm but 'what else is new' right....

someone posted a picture of me acting as a chille during the folk tale night, even i have to say i was looking nyangious vibaya sana. here it is





heheehehehheee, WE AFRICANS WE AINT NEVER SCARED

Here is a little somethin, somin, probably the first part of a verse of a song/rap in progress. It has no name yet since its incomplete...

I find these faces ironic,

walkin through streets i think on it,

listenin' to voices thats speakin, indifferent ways, monotonic,

drawling through pages of phony,

facts on the land they once told me,

i was from,

never told me, i had to ring the alarm,

Coz Africa, we in danger!!

A distant world, total stranger!

Unwanted guests that cause Herod to fear a boy in a manger,

Being from where i come from,

is something that I did wrong,

Should prob'ly get on my knees, and repent

but I can't!

Spit faya!

Adios people, kenyans keep it real

yap

yap,

its 3:55am on thursday/friday and even i dont know why im up this late! anyway, i have finished my math homework so i guess that a plus. havent even looked at the programing work so thats a minus. today was same ol', life jsut dragging by. wish i had more to tell. ill holla at yo later.

one love

blackness and friends



Dare, kepo and johnyk himseluf chilling out and having fun int he jester basement after a dance praco. good time yall, good times


BLACKNESS

Here is something i wrote for the folk tale night, it has a tune too,played off my guitar with background and drums from FLstudio5. maybe ill post the whole thing up some time.


Blackness



Blackness. Dark rich mysterious

Deep impenetrable seas of

Blackness, swimming in seas

Of beautiful, rich darkness

Dark continent. Land mass

Dubbed incontinent,

Helpless, hapless, hopeless

Pictures of hopelessness fill

Minds and hearts at the the

Thought of my continent.

Labels, 3rd world, 4th world,

What world? Our world

Oh! No not them! Oh no not

When they stem, from the

Seed of the black cursed

Shem!



Scar, they say she’s a scar

On the worlds conscience,
I Say, they say,
shes the scar on the worlds bloated face!

Country or continent?

Most don’t know.

More don’t care.

Don’t dare to look

Don’t dare to stare

Her in the face,

So the act like nothings there.

Irony! The land of the elephant,

Has become the proverbial elephant.

Sits in the room but nobody stares,

Maybe she’ll go away,

A bad dream...maybe…

Proverbial white elephant,

Metaphor? A broken promise,

Unrealized potential

Of chained dreams,

Bursting at the seams,

Starving,

Lacking ways and means.

Happy! happy?? Happy!?

Joyful, ecstatic, glad

Content continent.

Eyes that light up at the gaze of a stranger,

Child oblivious of imminent danger.

Heart of fire,

Blood of kings and warriors,

Fearless conquerors,

Runs through vains covered in pink flesh

And sheathed in blackness.

Deep, rich, beautiful, impenetrable darkness.

hi people,

hi people,

what can i say, the past few days have been... complicated... to put it mildly, i have been dealing with issues that i thought i had dealt with. dont you just hate it when a dead monster rears its ugly head and goes "Im back!!" yeah, is wak. but anyway, life goes on right.
jana was the night of folktales! it was a tonne of fun, can you imagine i still havent called the people i was supposed to call last week!!?? Man you have issues. anyway, there is what i persieve to be a gain popularity of kenya jamz amongst my non kenyan aqaintances. yippie!

Kesho is my first fest africa!!!! i can wait! kuna after part and me i need to katika kidogo., kidogo tu... anyway, citibank is the slowest bank in the world. wamechizi. Pray for me if you are reading this, i need all the prayers i can get. One love.

Jesus is ... amazing!
Wallapa tena,

Im still too lazy to figure out how to post pics on this thing, ill get it sooner or latter. SMOKING IS BAD! I wish they would ban it.

Anyway im getting into the bad habit of sleeping at 3 instead of at 2 like im supposed to. i think this is the 3rd cosecutiveday that im doing it. not good. but then again maybe i should just extend my sleepign time to 3 and decrea that i should be in my room by 2 so that i can use the time to do my own things, knowing me tho that will only result in sleeping at 4am instead of 3. so i think it should just remain at..... well we'll see. Nice new skin eh! i put one on befor this that removed my profile pic and i wasnt havin it, plus it removed the change skin button so i had a hard time changing it. luckything i dont often let the machine win. It will all go in the next 123 days (when my free trial ends) so enjoy it while it lasts. finished the acts page of the fest africa site (all images as of now) and forgot to login at work, carried the wrong homework then spent 30 minutes searching for it. anyway, all in all life is dandy appart from the fact that i have a loan payment coming up and i dont have any money. Masomo tutawza.
I AM UNBWOGABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wallapa yall

wallapa yall,

first i must complain!!! can you imagne they had ANOTHER FIRE DRILL TODAY!!!!! and it was RAINING too!!!!!! these guys arent serious with life for sure, wana fanya mchezo, watakiona!! Anyway something good actually came out of it. as i was forced to leave the building i had to go and study in the PCL which turned out be extra productive. i actually finished my math homework read a little elec and a lot of Gov. I hope to e doing that more often. i feel strangely proud of myself for doing so. God gaveme focus so i didnt even fidget much and didnt feel swatchious. appart from that and the fact that my bandwidth has bee severly cut because of exceeding my limit jana (as a result ot FF:IV)which is very annoying,i am good and psyched up for maisha. Hoping, still hoping against hope that my fees gets paid soon. America o!

hattaing

Now lets see... what has cu tsince my last entry?
Quite a lot actually, the wise guys at jeter auditorum decided that 3am in the night is the perfect time to have a fire drill and thus prceeded to haul us all out of bed or my case desk and take us outside for about 40 minutes of time wasting. after all this, i being a wise guy my self thought it would be a good idea to brak my sleep pattern and stay up trying to figure out a math problem fora friend. man did that mess me up or what!!! i felt like the face of a sledge hummer for the whole weekend. I finally got the random point area program working (sort of) about 30 minutes to the deadline. im quite surprised at my self, did think i would be able to do it. I guess God just decided to have mercy on me. I hope he continues todo so.

Missed ASA. long story. Met a Kenyan who lives on my floor!!!!!!! wandas! i tell you. iwas so shocked mpaka i think i shtuad her. anyway its nice to jua that there are peoples from the digz country around. I went for the NI Info session and thugged their pizza. they talked about this Engneering Leadership program that i now really want to get into. I left them my resume, i hope they pick me.

I am hattaing videdly wth this Taylor series mamboz but usijali, ntajikaza kisauni and pray that God reveals it to me (maclauren series pia).

FINAL FANTASY VII: advent children rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i watched it today, (when i was supposed to be doingmy homework and it was just toooooooooo deadly. i also spentthe whole of my Sato evenign watching about 20 episodes of Naruto ( the best anime series ihave ever see), not good for my masomoz. I hope to jipanga better. wekend was ok. Uyai made some seriously delicious nigerian food and invited me and Uduak over, it was sawa sana.
Anyway its about my bed time so ill holla malataz
