This REMOTE Working Is Not Even REMOTELY Working

This REMOTE Working Is Not Even REMOTELY Working

Work from home It’s me, again, sneaking in here shamelessly like a husband who left on Friday only to show up on Sunday 5:00 PM with sick excuses, sicker than a Kenyan politician after spending one day in a police cell. Excuses like, I was trapped in the stomach of a whale since Friday and you’ve been “cutting waters” since then. And this just because your name is Jonathan.  Fishy! And in the…

Here’s to a Glass of December, To the Musings we can Remember.

Here’s to a Glass of December, To the Musings we can Remember.

By now I bet you have already made peace with my disappearing acts and alienation from this house which has lately been devoid of satire. Life never prepares you for certain eventualities. Like we get into marriages totally clueless how they will span out. Like in every party which has two kinds of people: those who want to go home and those who don’t. The trouble is they are usually married to…

Making And Maintaining Friends Is Proving To Be A Costly Affair.

If you happen to be an extrovert, you tend to find yourself in a friend making spree with reckless abandon. Your enthusiasm to spark off conversations with people who might find you amusing is usually insatiable which then warrants constant friend requests on and off Facebook. The world however, does not promise you that the newly found friendship will be unblemished. Just as sure as the sun…

There is no blessing to Wait, there is only Work to do

There is no blessing to Wait, there is only Work to do

2018 is a wrap, 2019 is up for grabs. I wouldn’t say there are tangible opportunities I seized last year. As a matter of fact when opportunity (for me to write) knocked, I ran through the back door because I thought it was the cops. Sometimes opportunity would knock and say it just wants to talk. I asked how many opportunities they were at the door and they said two. I asked the two…

You were born to be Real, Not Perfect.

I’m writing this post thinking, how dare the author of this blog sneak in here in a tiptoe gait after partaking in steadfast disappearing acts. The nerve. One of the ardent readers recently raised a concern over the shriveled number of times I pen down. Some mention the inconsistency subtly while some choose to use brute force by giving all indications that I have found peace in…

Life is Hard, But as compared to what.

Life is Hard, But as compared to what.

Life is tough alright. Sitting in a corner and crying the world a river does not make it any easier. Currency being the highly combustible fuel that runs life is highly factored in a myriad aspects of organic phenomenon. Life. Your existence is pegged onto money like it’s your perennial nanny. As a matter of fact, nothing makes a woman more confused than being in a relationship with a broke man…

Look Around, The world is drunk on cheap wine of shallow love

Look Around, The world is drunk on cheap wine of shallow love

Are you not enjoying the year so far? I mean we have squandered the first quarter of the year and amongst the things that make us kinky is the fact that we have three more quarters to dramatically play cat and mouse theatrics with our goddam lives. Excessive drama yet to go around. Which basically means that we have more time to break People’s hearts and get heartbroken as well. Karma in…

Does the Spade really care what we call it?

Does the Spade really care what we call it?

  I once mentioned that love, more often than not, feels like a superficial jiggery-pokey which culminates into a sweet excuse for teenagers to have sex.And let’s not have a cajoling debate on how people fancy the act of canoodling. People simply love coitus, people love getting randy, people will roll in the sack regardless of the current Nairobi weather and they won’t owe you an apology for…

SPUR

Consider the featured image a taste of 2018 even as i sneak back in here, shamelessly, after a century of no writings on the wall. Readers have been incessantly asking for me to show them a sign. I swear i have been focusing on being able to buy myself lots of food without running out of currency right after playing Golf and a few unlucky damsels in distress. Sigh.

Time

Speaking of time, it been a long goddamn while.  Forgive my re-occurring smorgasbord of tepid syndrome that made cobwebs thrive within this space – doubleonews  interwebs . This poor parchment was estranged. I could say I decided to walk my tortoise to the zoo before writing another piece but then some of you would think I am being childish. You see sometimes you just want to sit pretty, scratch…

The World Owes you Nothing, It was here First

The little joys keep them.

In 1800’s boys used to go to war, nowadays men in their 20’s get hurt by blue ticks.  These men are having a robust hormonal metamorphosis that make them sulk like a baby who has just been denied titties that are so full of life and colostrum. Men who audaciously call themselves Jaguar but they will brood sulkiness when denied a Jubilee Nomination ticket.  Men who will…

​You don’t need a Light skin, all you need is a Right skin

Photo Courtesy

The city is lit. The streets are paved with a myriad shades that form a spectrum that is the broad daylight. The heavy weight have sought refuge in being vegans to get their light weight and groove back. To get their right weight back.  People actually have a type. Notwithstanding, I have accepted to live with the fact that the last time I was someone’s type, I was donating blood.…

Screenshots

And behold, it’s such a huge dose of comic relief that you made it to the 21st century where the screenshot is one of the most used technology and deleting history is more important than making history. Screenshot is the new way to pirate illicit revelations and propagate endless chunks of humor with a credit note that acknowledges theft and felony, mostly used as a footnote that humbly…

It’s Valentines, and a Happy Singles Independence Day

Valentine’s sunset.

Inevitably, Valentine’s Day is here, it is the very day that the “V” and the “D” come together with or without a pun intended. Lovebirds are about to sprinkle feel good hormones all over each other in a deliberate bid to appease the queens and gods of romance.  Single souls are waking up to yet another stupor, albeit, they are glad they don’t have to pay a single dime for love…

How do you face your problem when the problem is your face?

How do you face your problem when the problem is your face?

We face yet another year, it’s 2017.  Some faces remain nonchalantly blissful, others will glimmer with time and even more will tremendously use up all the makeup that factories industriously make.  For some, the year is a blander that blends well with drought, world hunger and unremitting political faux pas.  Worse is if you bump into a mirror in your own house and immediately you steal a…

TALES OF THE HEINOUS HYENA AND THE ANIMAL INVASION.

TALES OF THE HEINOUS HYENA AND THE ANIMAL INVASION.

The animal kingdom is taking over, particularly the hyena fraternity, which has been over-zealously working round the clock to join the species of primates dubbed Homo sapiens. The hyena has effortlessly been crowned the king of seduction with a garment of sophistication, validating it to be accepted as one of our very own present day King Solomon. You jokingly call a Kenyan guy a FISI and they…

The Fixation With Other People’s Lives.

The Fixation With Other People’s Lives.

We are in a fix. Many can neither be fixed nor is fix their own lives- but you can be sure the government robustly equipped to fix your name in the next corruption scandal. There is a new virus in the city and you can bet it is not Zika Virus.  A habit that has degenerated into a disease being propagated by superfluous supply of internet bundles and the skanky delay of Donald Trump to shut down…
