THE ANALYST

                                                                THE PACKAGE

So people were like: "Are you for real? You blogging now?? About what exactly?? "

The answer is: "Yes I am. About everything and anything I feel like."

Firstly, I'd like to take this opportunity to appoint myself as a sports analyst. Arsenal is the first team I fell in love with, and believe you me, I'm for keeps. We are soo married, for better for worse. Even when small teams like Swansea thrash 'us' in the last 2 minutes to full-time. I know Arsene Wenger and his technical bench deserve a piece of my mind. I'm also aware that the team lacks zeal and precision nowadays but that's a story for another day. Chelsea, the mighty-yet-small defending champions are out in the group stages!!! Feels nice to lose. How can I forget last night. Manchester United were humiliated or is it humbled in their own backyard. It's karma biatch!!

Secondly, I appoint myself the daring task of an investigative journalist ,a combination of Mohammed Ali of the the intriguing series 'Jicho Pevu' and John Allan Namu of NTV and better still Ross Kemp of Sky1.

Thirdly, I appoint myself as a relationship advice and/or marriage counselor. I however do not intend to take the job of Getrude Mungai at K24. That lady who derives the function f(x) of couples explicitly using first principles. She's better at it because of experience. I'm tempted to say: "been there done that...", but we all know(at least those who know me personally are aware of my marital status!)

Thirdly, I want the job of Mutahi Ngunyi at  the Consulting House. Self appointed political analyst with a Bachelor's in Political Science, with a bias in regional politics. I want to state categorically on this December day of 2012 that I'm totally against tribal politics. Political marriages taking place right now is not only sickening but outright immoral! I'm astonished by the depth of the lyrical sycophancy in Kenya. Just the other day Uhuru and Ruto vowed 'I do' and minutes later Mudavadi joined the bandwagon. No sooner had they sealed the deal than Raila and Kalonzo met behind closed doors and married. Kalonzo has been undecided for the longest time. Confused like a chiq who is too ugly to play hard to get. While signing the deal, the legislator from Ukambani had the gut to say:"Kenya imezaliwa upya leo". like, WTH!!Kwani Kenya itazaliwa mara ngapi? Na the same mother??Dude!! Old political goats know how to bleat for the gallery. That is a manifestation of super greed, manipulation and abuse of our combined intellect. Why do they realign at the last minute? I know why. They all have been in all the previous governments that ruled us! Same monkeys, only different tress(political parties). They never stood for anything in the first place so they fall for anything as well. Politics without principle is what Mahatma Gandhi warned us against. At least Raphael Tuju and Peter Kenneth stand for almost the same issues. That's the only group that is devoid of ethnicity and grand corruption. I’m not a seer. I don’t have a crystal ball, but I know Kenyans will elect wrong leaders and complain thereafter till the next general elections.

Last but not least, I appoint myself as a leading weather forecaster. Today we'll experience sunshine at noon and it's gonna be 'darkish' at around 6.30pm and very dark thereafter. Especially past 10p.m.



Over and out!!

 LA VIDA LOCA
 
Every young person thinks highly of institutions of higher learning. It's the ultimate destination as far as education is concerned. Well, not every day is as rosy or as tough as another. Every single waking morning is unique in its characteristics as well as challenges.

Problem comes in when yesterday's challenges hang on till the end of the week. A good example will be life in the programming world which is both exciting and frustrating in equal measure.

This is just an introduction to a series of thoughts, opinions and perspectives. Keep it locked!
