I don’t have a story to tell today but I was going through my phone and came across some pieces I wrote a while back. PS: not a single soul has read them or seen them, well until now. I picked this one as my favorite just because of how heartfelt it is and how much it means to me. I hope you love it too….

So not that I've been trying but I just can't seem to get her out of my head. As far as pointless battles go, this one wins unanimously (its not even close) - kinda like playing fetch with a blind dog.

I'd be thinking about clouds or some other random stuff for no apparent reason (I know you're thinking who the hell thinks about clouds, well I'm weird like that deal with it) and she just pops into my head. Not in a cameo kind of way but as the headliner she is (insert okrrrrrr). As far as show stealers or commandeers go, for a bit of class, she's pretty much unrivalled. If y'all knew her like I do, you'd pretty much get where all this is coming from.

I'm actually not complaining because if anything sticks in my head it might as well look that good. Those big beautiful brown eyes are to die for, literally, I would throw myself in front of a bus if they asked me to (mainly for the drama but you get the point). That bright sunshine-like smile, curves in all the right places...My God, even perfection isn't that perfect. I could go on and on but that's all you get. In a nutshell the big guy upstairs outdid Himself on this one and I could never thank Him enough for her. I only pray for enough grace to always do right by her because God knows she deserves it all and then some.

The Mortality Paradox

I recently came across a tweet that said the saddest part about life is: ‘all this, just to die’ and as absurdly morbid as it sounds, you can take that to the bank. Its face value is exactly that: whatever life you lead, however lavish, however desolate, the endgame is one.  It indeed is profoundly sad to think you could land the job of your dreams, scholarship of your dreams and not even wake up tomorrow. All you worked for, all you prayed and hoped for finally fulfilled and life or death I should say, excuse the pun, just takes it all away before it's even yours.  It really is truly tragic and insurmountably terrifying how cruel life can be in that regard which indeed does beg the question, all this for what? Oh how I wish I had the answer to that but I haven't got a clue and if I had a sit-down with our maker before my time, that'd be my first question.  Steve Jobs said something about living everyday like it's your last because one day you'll be right and my wor...

The Sometimes Futile Pursuit of Happiness

It is utterly impossible to disregard aforementioned title I know, and as depressing as it sounds, said pursuit sometimes proves me right plenty.  Overlooking the morbidity, I do drive a solid point or two I believe. To begin with, what really is happiness? Well, happiness is entirely case dependent, at least in my opinion. Here's what I mean, for some happiness is spouse, kids and lots of grandkids, for others happiness means something in the lines of top 30 under 30, CEO of a Fortune 500, something in those lines.  Only things that's standard is the the journey towards what happiness means to you. Having that one girl you want who's right there but just can't get her and having that big promotion just out of reach does hurt all the same. It's like dangling a steaming tomahawk steak in the face of a  former grill chef turned vegetarian. It all begs the question what to do to be happy? Well, I suppose this question is better posed at Yoda or a magic 8 ball.  Everyth...

Home time

It's close of business again, well, a little past close of business and I'm on my way home. Fresh out of a 12-hour shift, I can't decide if I'll eat first when I get home or just collapse into slumber right at the door. In the matatu, I could swear everyone is deliberating the very same decision Iam. Soft music plays on classic FM as if trying to remedy our tired bodies and mind. Just about everyone is on their phones. If I listen intently enough, I can almost hear the pitter patter of their thumbs going at it with the keyboard. In essence, everyone is in their own little world, only brought back to this realm by the conductor demanding his due. He passes around a tiny piece of paper with his mpesa number on it and we, who are cashless, calmly wait for our turn. After confirming the mpesa receiver's name, everyone runs back to their screens but not without throwing a pitiful glance at the long, long chain of cars also called Thika road. Iam not a mind reader but I ...
