My photo
I smile recklessly and I love excessively. I live today knowing I have no other day until tomorrow. Now is my moment. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is a mystery, but today, today is my gift (present).

I like them warm

Last week Sunday I get up, prep myself and I'm all set for church, then I open the door, it's snow flakes falling like mad. I go back inside, I've got to change, start all over again with white on my mind.

I get back from church, it's not snowing. I quickly get my camera, and this is what I get. (Poor kid out there.)




I go to my bro's, I come back and the whole white paint has been washed away. Come to think of it, it's March, not ,'#/`£$%$ January or February. Ati they call it global warming. I'm from Kiambu, I like everything warm. I don't do cold.

PS, I still have no clue how to add links. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllp

Moses & the Computer


This is a bit of the rest.

One Boyfulani asked, 'if Jesus lived today, would He blog', and one Neema replied that blogging would be a good form of spreading the gospel. I say, we change with time. I figure a conversation going after Moses has received the 10 commandments and lost them (not broken) in 2002 AD. Mark you, he called TECHNICAL SUPPORT Mwenyewe.


Excuse me, Sir.

"IS THAT YOU AGAIN, MOSES?"

I'm afraid it is, Sir.

"WHAT IS IT THIS TIME, MOSES; MORE COMPUTER PROBLEMS?"

How did you guess?

"I DON'T HAVE TO GUESS, MOSES. REMEMBER?"

Oh, yes; I forgot.

"TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT, MOSES."

But you already know, Sir. Remember?

"MOSES!"

Sorry, Sir.

"WELL, GO AHEAD, MOSES; SPIT IT OUT."

Well, I have a question, Sir. You know those ten 'things' you sent me via e-mail?

"YOU MEAN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, MOSES?"

That's it. I was wondering if they are important.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'IF THEY ARE IMPORTANT,' MOSES? OF COURSE, THEY ARE IMPORTANT. OTHERWISE, I WOULD NOT HAVE SENT THEM TO YOU."


Well, sorry, Sir, but I lost them. I could say the dog ate them; but, of course, you would see right through that.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU 'LOST THEM'? ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME YOU DIDN'T SAVE THEM, MOSES?"

No, Sir; I forgot.

"YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SAVE, MOSES."

Yes, I know. You told me that before. I was going to save them, but I forgot. I did forward them to some people before I lost them though.

"AND DID YOU HEAR BACK FROM ANY OF THEM?"

You already know I did. There was the one guy who said he never uses 'shalt not.' May he change the words a little bit?

"YES, MOSES, AS LONG AS HE DOES NOT CHANGE THE MEANING."

And what about the guy who thought your stance was a little harsh, and recommended calling them the 'Ten Suggestions,' or letting people pick one or two to try for a while?

"MOSES, I WILL ACT AS IF I DID NOT HEAR THAT."

I think that means 'no.' Well, what about the guy who said I was scamming him?

"I THINK THE TERM IS 'SPAMMING,' MOSES."

Oh, yes. I E-mailed him back and told him I don't even eat that stuff, and I have no idea how you can send it to someone through a computer.

"AND WHAT DID HE SAY?"

You know what he said. He used Your name in vain. You don't think he might have sent me one of those -- err -- plagues, and that's the reason I lost those ten 'things', do you?

THEY ARE NOT PLAGUES; THEY ARE CALLED 'VIRUSES,' MOSES."

Whatever! This computer stuff is just too much for me. Can we go back to those stone tablets? It was hard on my back taking them out and reading them each day, but at least I never lost them.

"WE WILL DO IT THE NEW WAY, MOSES; USING COMPUTERS!!"

I was afraid you would say that, Sir.

"MOSES, WHAT DID I TELL YOU TO DO IF YOU MESSED UP?"

You told me to hold up this rat and point it toward the computer.

"IT'S A MOUSE, MOSES, NOT A RAT. MOUSE! MOUSE!
AND DID YOU DO THAT?"

No, I decided to try calling technical support first. After all, who knows more about this stuff than you? And I really like your hours. By the way, Sir, did Noah have two of these mice on the ark?

"NO, MOSES."

One other thing. Why did you not name them 'frog s' instead of 'mice,' because did you not tell me the thing they sit on is a pad?

"I DID NOT NAME THEM, MOSES. MAN DID, AND YOU CAN CALL YOURS A FROG IF YOU WANT TO."

Oh, that explains it. I bet some woman told Adam to call it a mouse. After all, was it not a woman who named one of the computers 'Apple?'

"SAY GOOD NIGHT, MOSES."

Wait a minute, Sir. I am pointing the mouse, and it seems to be working. Yes, a couple of the ten 'things' have come back.

"WHICH ONES ARE THEY, MOSES?"

Let me see. 'Thou shalt not steal from any grave an image' and 'Thou shalt not uncover Thy neighbor's wife.'"

"TURN THE COMPUTER OFF, MOSES. I'M SENDING YOU ANOTHER SET OF STONE TABLETS."

Photo taking virus



I contracted a photo taking virus from 31337, and this Easter, in the middle of the night(I couldn't sleep, I had just talked to 'Mr Maua', I miss him now, more than ever). I took my camera, while standing outside my balcony, I thought, 'I need to send him a photo', and nothing was more appealing than the Canary Wharf (The Wall Street of London) by night. Lakini huko, kwa mbali.

This here is Canary Wharf, about 4 yrs ago, it's more beautiful today than then. http://www.buyimage.co.uk/photonet/canary/canary.html (Copy and paste, and then tell me how you add links???????????? honestly I can't do it, I've tried and tried, in vain).

I do hope he (Mr Maua) appreciates this.

Happy Easter

Easter is one of the most important Christian holidays. Easter is celebrated to remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ from his death three days after he was tortured and crucified on Good Friday. Resurrection of Jesus Christ forms the main theme of the Easter Holiday.

One day when sin was as black as could be, Jesus came down, and was born to a virgin, living he loved you, dying he saved you and rising he justified you freely forever. May our Lord remind you once again that he died for you on the cross, that you may not go thru the same torture, and that you may live eternally.


With this in mind, I couldn't help thinking, if men did ressurect soon after death, would my loved ones want me to live again? Certainly not for this man.

A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation to Jerusalem. While they were there, the wife passed away. The undertaker told the husband, "You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land for $150."

The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home.

The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $150?"

The man replied, "Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can't take that chance”.

Have a happy Easter.

Marketing Concepts




For those asking about the smile kama maua, I 've decided to give you a taste, just a taste of it.




Straight from facebook. I've tried to keep off facebook, especially after poking supposedly future Mr Maua, but, I just can not keep off. But I'll share what I found these evening.

Marketing Concepts

You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm fantastic in bed. Marry me!" That's Direct Marketing.

You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says, "He's fantastic in bed. Marry him." That's Advertising.

You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day you call and say "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed. Marry me." That's Telemarketing.

You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie; you walk up to her and pour her a drink. You open the door for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her a ride, and then say, "By the way, am fantastic in bed. Will you marry me?". That's Public Relations.

You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says, "You are fantastic in bed. Marry me." That's Brand Recognition.

You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm fantastic in bed. Marry me" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. That's Customer Feedback.

You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm fantastic in bed. Marry me!" And she introduces you to her husband That's Demand and Supply gap.

You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say, "I'm fantastic in bed. Marry me!" She turns her face towards you - kumbe she is your wife! That's competition eating into your own market share.

You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You convince her that "you're fantastic in bed' and move with her to a hotel. You realize that she is not virgin as she claimed hence you decline going to bed with her. That's recalling of faulty brand from the market.
