Kenya. I am quite fond of it, but I don't love it. Because I don't believe in investing emotion in something that can get you killed, or worse... I tend to think we are surrounded by idiots in this dusty, broken down country. As usual, there's a story behind this...
So I'm in a jav, going home on Thika Rd. I'm crazy tired and can only think of my bed, despite the fact that its 9 in the 'morn. So the jav is moving along well when it swerves suddenly. I bump my head against the window. Really hard. So I look up in anger for who to cuss out, fist clenched and all, when some random Corolla 110 drives by my window. On OUR lane. Going the OPPOSITE direction!
So now I'm going crazy in my head, looking for something to fling at someone. ANYONE! I mean, this is Thika Rd! One of the craziest roads EVER! & some lower life form was driving on WHICH side of the road?! But when I think it couldn't get any worse, another one drives past us. And ANOTHER, this one with the cojones to flash his lights at US!
Now, I'm all for human rights. But these mud-for-brains humans should be flogged to near death! On national television! That would make for better reality TV viewing then some of the nonsense local TV peddles.
& before you write this off as some schuupid rant, remember Kenya is the only country in the world where you have to look both ways before crossing a one-way street. & you are most likely to be run down by a white Corolla. So: Flog an idiot, save a life.

JusLisenDammit!
Now, there's been a very startling trend amongst hombres (maybe the mamacitas too, but that's not my area of expertise). & as the blog name suggests, this is about telling my fellow men what the business is, so to speak.
Men don't listen. To other men, to women, or even to themselves. This is with regards to the important things AND the mundane. They just don't. Maybe its just a Kenyan problem (amongst many of our other faults). This story ilinifika mwisho the other day, so listen closely me hearties.
So I was on the rave with Mafans 10K as usual, having a blast. Then some attractive lasses came into view. Naturally, hombres' interest was peaked. So Guys 1 & 2 move in to assess.
As background assessers, I see it only fit to point out flaws in my friends' strategies if they are darting a mama. Albeit in a subtle way. So Guy 1 was talking too much and Guy 2 was to eager, saying yes to everything. & peoples told them so.
I dunno if its the illusion that your observant pal is jealous, ama excess pride, but guys NEVER want to hear they are making a mistake when it comes to girls. 'tis both very sad and very vexing. Guys 1 & 2 sneered at these comments and continued it their way. Once the lasses in question were adequately entertained and drink'd up, they moved on.
I don't know when it became uncool to listen to counsel. I must have missed that train. It has been said that a wise man listens to the counsel of others, but makes his own decisions in the end. Who knows, maybe next time she'll go home with you...
