Kamagera

              In my existence, I have noticed some people are eating life with a big spoon, others like me, life is eating us with big spoons (read spade).  Not so many moons ago I was in a very bad fix, big brain, alot of skills but no paper evidence to match the skill so the people with money think you are a con. Anyway, I had a friend who was a donda (read conductor), I know he makes over 1500 daily because one day he told me, I asked him to link me up to one of the manyangas and he told me, “Si rahisi ni kulink  mimi stakudanganya kama wale uncle wa nyumbani  ati maliza shule nitakueka mahali.”  So he told me about kamagera ( a person who just loads people in a Matatu , and remains.) and their rowdiness. That their survival in nairobi is to be likened to the silverback against 100 men. No mercy. Nikamuuliza, because I want a fishing rod, not the fish itself so as to fend for myself.  So akaniambia you just go to any st...

  It was a polite time, and I was having this conversation, with one of my top Gs, Tommie. Not to gas him up or anything, but allow me to be Safaricom just this once, you know, to give credit where its due.  Tommie, he is one of the most creative and crazy ninjas I know. We could be having a conversation and the next second, would find us cracking up, like we lost our own fucking damn minds!

I haven’t been mesmerized by something like I was when I explored his project. To say I was impressed would be an understatement, I was completely blown away. I asked him a question, thousands of you ask me every time something fresh and amazing drops on Letstoriesunfold, “Unapata inspiration wapi?” He hit me with, “ Unajua hii conversation itabore, nikikuambia.” So I let it slide to move forward with the conversation. We talked about a few more things, then talked ...

Wiki ilikuwa imenitoa mbio mbaya aje, ungedhani design ya hawker na kanjo wa Jiji. Venye ililand Friday jioni, nikajua baaas, naweza pumua kidogo. Nikaingia kwa hao, nikachamgamkia ka shower pale, niskie very nice, clean and fresh. Alafu kutayarisha kitu ya kula pale ju tumbo ilikuwa inaguruma ka lorry ya FH, ikipanda mlima ikiwa imejaa mchanga. Food ikaiva tu hivi na nikajiserve. Design storyteller wenu yuko very clean na ameng’ara, alafu yuko tayari kuchangamkia plate ya food, ogopa. Hii ndio time huwa hautaki wageni kabsaa but hii life bana, no balance, time hautaki kitu ndio inakuja full force. Kabla hata sijauma kijiko hata moja ya food nikasikia knock kwa mlango. Najaribu kuona ka ni next door, but venye knock naisikia haiwezi kuwa kwa neiba. Najaribu kukumbuka ka niliset appointment ya playoffs yeyote leo, naona pia zii. Nikataka kulenga kufungua kabsaa. Design najikaza kuoneshana siko, usitake jua but knocking ikakuwa persistent sana hadi imeanza kuniudhi. Najiuliza tu kim...
