On another episode of: things that never happened, or did they? Saturday or Sunday, many many many moons ago. I used to go to the bafu na towel pekee always wondering how women always walked around in skirts. So after showering it was free mode mpaka kejani. Kwa buloti, it was a communal bathroom so you had to carry your bucket. Na ukipata mtu yuko ndani, unapanga laini. On this particular day nilikuwa nimechemsha maji niko ready kuingia kwa bafu, jirani beat me to the bathroom by seconds. I left my bucket full of warm water hapo nikiwa frustrated then nikaingia kejani kutime akitoka, naruka ndani. Asubuhi gets chilly so you can't just hang around there waiting ukiwa kifua iko nje, umejifunga towel pekee. Akamaliza nikaskia mlango yake imefunga, nikakimbia bafu fasta fasta maji yangu isipoe, ingepoa ingekuwa balaa. Kumbe she was not yet done, alikua ameacha karai yake na maji hapo ndani arudi kuosha kifuniko. Mimi naye nokatoa hio basin nje nikaingia kwa bafu, this is not ...

Rhumba ya Jirani.

 It's 11:18, I'm yet to sleep. 


Earlier, hapo 6 or 7 pm, jirani karibu animalize na Dojo Maber, playing it over and over again, karibu I head over there, knock on their door, and tell them, hata kama ni kupenda wimbo aje, imetosha sasa. 


But ni kama alijua or alisense before niende nimbishie, akachange playlist, akaamua sasa ni ngoma za Sauti Sol back to back. As I'm writing this, ni Insecure by Sauti Sol playing, ma baddies wakising along this part at the top of their voices, 


Chini ya maji, si ni machizi

Twachunguzana kipolisi

And your body is a movie

And I hope you feel the same

But you're insecure (eeeeeh)

Oh my you're insecure (aaaaaah)

Oh my you're insecure (eeeeeh)

And I'm insecure (aaaaaah)




Before like an hour before, nilikuwa niko 50/50, scratch that, nilikuwa nimebakisha kidogo ni gate crush, ju naskia masauti nyororo, niko zile za damn it! 


Si nivuke kwa jirani? 


Kumbe this is how Fomo feels like? Such a nasty, nasty feeling! Inafanya hadi nakaa for a while, deliberating whether or not to go, asking myself questions like huwa unadandia aje houseparty? 


I continued weighing the pros and cons, naona hii si fiti mimi nikienda. Wacha ma young bloods wajibambe, it's their time, alafu can you imagine venye ingekaa awkward? Hii ya Jirani, inakaa house party ya ma rich kids. Alafu house party on a Wednesday? Enyewe we crawled so they can walk. Moments ka hizi ndio zinanishow nimekula salt si mchezo alafu zinanikumbusha a while back in my prime prime, venye tulitwanga life ya house parties na sherehe. 


Venye hio time tulikuwa tunaona life is simple, umesip something something, umemarinate someone someone, you have eaten( hata haujui ulikula aje na saa ngapi), caught a whine if you're lucky and smooth like your favorite storyteller, then later uko incognito mode with someone someone . Can you see how nice it is to be young? 


Hehe, anyway where was I? 


Ooh yes, wacha nione kama ule mwenye tuko talking stage nimsho akuje pahali niko tulaunch, si unajua party of two, nini nini? As I'm heading to take a nights rest, najua kitu ya mwisho nitasikia ni hio Amapiano wameweka.
