Whatchu looking for?

I totally had a good Christmas. After 8 years of hosting peeps, loving on them and laughing with them, i finally got invited to get out of town and ate myself silly. Some serious goat. Walala... i'm not sure i've recovered yet. Been dreaming of hitting the gym or a serious diet to pacify my guilty conscience.
Anyhow, just thinking about how funny it is to tottally miss what you are looking for because of what you are looking at.
The truth is, your life is waiting to start when you start making choices to start it.
Not when circumstances allow it.
You see living your dream is just that, Living a dream. Something unreal.
It means it's something not existing in your current life setup. You are simply taking something unreal, and bringing it into your real world.
Interesting huh?
So, what makes you think you are gonna have to do some pretty mundane things to live a dream?
I mean, comeon! if you want to live a life that's totally unlike the textbook Kenyan life, what makes you think it's gonna happen with you following all the rules?
I'm i advocating for reckless living? not really, at least not in that sense of the word... I'm more like saying,
If you want difference in your life, then take charge of that Change!
See, insanity is doing the same things, expecting different results. I'm sure you know that....
Usually, textbooks are for stuff that's been discovered. Been there done that. Someone tried it and it worked, and now they are telling you all about it.
I'm more of the guy that says, hey! Can we try this new approach here?
Someone asks, But that's not proven
I say, That's why i'm gonna try it. To prove it.
Have i failed? Yes
Have i been scared? Yes
Have i Doubted myself Yes
But then again,
Has it worked? Sometimes...
And trust me, the joy of seeing it work has waaaaaay superceded any failure or pain or doubts in my life.
Satisfaction has come from knowing that my hunch was right. And i was man enough to attempt something that i had a desire to do.
Rather than live with the lingering question, what if i had done it.
Like Moving out of home
Starting that business
Getting into a serious relationship or getting married
Resigning that Job
Buying that property
The list is endless..... Things we are all looking for, but not willing to risk it.
Hapiness comes from knowing what you need to do, and doing it, then sitting back and watching the results of things you've accomplished.
If you have things you've dreamt and desired of doing, why not start the year actually doing them?
It won't hurt. Ok, at least not for that long!

Love you!
Have a good start 2011

Single Ladies, Get your own man!

So I was reading that Linda Muthama proudly calls herself Nyambane’s second wife. He is managing more than just her ‘music affairs’ as well. Has a baby by him and the usual blah blah… By the way, all this has happened a while back And of course as usual, it was fodder for the blogs and media. Worst of all, there were chics telling Linda to do what she wants, it’s her life. Now, I don’t know whether to just rant or try and put this entire mountain of a relationship stink-hog in perspective. Because something stinks. And it stinks to high heaven. Someone ought to call it what it is; Relationship bull. When a single young woman of notable influence in this country, goes ahead and becomes a second wife to a man of equal media exposure and women go ahead and cheer her on, something is wrong! Terribly wrong! You see the truth of the matter is; you single young thing, building a man, a marriage and a family is work. Loads of it. By the time you see a ‘made’ man, some of you

Manners Please boys

First up, apologies for not posting for a while. My involvement with a new online project, plus looking for the elusive dollar has kept me away. But I'm back. So here goes! The golden age of fine wining and dining has seemingly been replaced by our quick instant lifestyles that allow very little time for anything. microwaves, email, instant coffee, MTV, Tyra Banks, Maina and Kingangi in the morning.... its all fast paced. And so has the approach to relationships become. Kila kitu ni chap chap. Including the meet-ups. We do twitter, Facebook, then Sms, by the time a week is over, we are having sex online. That's just how fast paced its become. But I'm not complaining about it, its just that now, because of how easy it is to meet someone and talk over gadgets without physically taking the effort to be there and work on the relationships, there is a group of young men who honestly have no idea on how to treat a woman. Zero Bilaz Wako dooooooooooown! So it's easy

How to talk to Men

Image
Personalities notwithstanding, there is a way to talk to Men. It may sound incredulous at first, but hang with me. It sometimes seems almost impossible to get through to a man's thick skull. It's like hitting your fist against a wall trying to have him listen, co-operate and fully grasp with intent everything you are trying to tell him. Well, here's the biggest mistake most women make in their attempt to talk to the masculine type. They talk to them like they talk to women. And it fails Every-time. Surprised? well, you shouldn't be. Men are different from women, especially when it comes to 'hearing'. By that, it's not just what you're churning from your mouth, nope. It's two critical components of any conversation. Tone of voice and body language. 1. When you talk to a man, make sure you get into his head before you start rolling. Men process one thing at a time. If a guys mind is on something, he may be looking at you, smiling at you, holding
