The Misconception of the Tender Heart
» Words Much Like Poetry to the sainted woman who stands
upon the shores of her misconception,
and hurls disparagements, guised in canons,
for the path I have chosen,
I say, "here is my deficiency,
my destitution, my dissonance;
here are the scars that I carry
with pride and resolve,
gained of the many battles waged;
I survived, though not as you perceive,
but with tender heart intact,
ever and always the subtle victor."

erase and rewind...
» make mine a double espresso... I went to the beach over the weekend. It was awesome. The water was super cold and so clear, the sun was out, me and my two girlfriends. Fun times. :)
I went swimming today as well. The campus across the road has a pool and i needed to do some thinking. Something about swimming... my brain is too occupied doing the same robotic movements, so i can listen to what is beyond my brain.
I was reading this book. Self help books are not my thing, i only finished the first chapter. But the high light of that was YOU ARE NOT YOUR MIND. It's an interesting philisophy. There's more to you, than your mind. You know how sometime's you think ''i'm so mad at myself'' yeah, you're mind can be mad at you. Something like that.
Back to the pool, i was swimming, trying to occupy my brain, to listen to my actual 'self'... Alot came to me. First, i wish i could write a letter to my past self. Where i am now and what i would have accomplished by now... Two different things. I know i'm not trying hard enough. I thought it was depression at first, now i'm thinking i'm just straight up lazy.
My self esteem is an oximoron. I know i'm cool, i'm okay looking, i'd be super hot things if i lost a couple of pounds, but yeah. That's a big issue, i won't go more into it. Sometimes i think i'm awesome. But sub consciously i think i feel like i need validation from men. I've been single for almost three years, sex, on the other hand... I have been with more men/boys than i'm proud of. Mostly one night stands. Ummm... I don't know why i keep,
Lemmi pause for a second. ya'll might be thinking they're like 37 dudes, the figure isn't that high. So yeah, lower your eyebrows a little.
So back to that, i don't know why i keep doing some things. Ummm... That i wake up at hit my self in the head over.
If i could, i would erase and rewind. Re do the last three years of my life again. Instead of being stuck with attempted damage control.

Death of Kenyan ref :- Disgrace to sports !
» SportsKenya On Saturday, one Dan Etolle-a football referee who was died from stab wounds by football fans he was officiating in Thika-was buried. This was TOTAL DISGRACE to sport not just football but the whole of the sporting world.
It is true that some officials make really dubious calls in games while others bring disrepute into sport but these are the minority. For Dan, his was not even such a call, just some excitable fans who thought they were doing their team a favor. What hurts me even more is slow (or no reaction) by the Football Kenya ( or KFF, which ever lays claim to managing the Kenyan game!)to the offense.
Just as they took their sweet time reacting to acts of hooliganism from one of Kenyan's oldest and most followed clubs, this time they ought to have acted with speed. They didn't even send a representative to pay final respects to the official. What tragedy ! Maybe the gods were punishing us yesterday for not respecting ourselves ! -
2010 World Cup Qualifiers: Kenya's headed Down but not to SA
» SportsKenya As the major football powers are finally drawing closer to qualifying for the World Cup, for Kenya even the simplest of tasks is proving otherwise. We have been rewarding teams with our mediocre performances and still hoping that the gods will save our blushes and maybe, just maybe help us carry the day ( one day) to another major championship.
Playing Mozambique, the local Press was busy singing praises how we have a professional (sic) outfit and have players who matter to take us to the Africa Cup of Nations and maybe just sneak in a World Cup in the same mix.
In my humble opinion, our chances of qualification to any of these tournaments ended the day some intrusive football official(s) felt that one Francis Kimanzi was shown the door. Though not all that in terms of technical capabilities and international exposure, he had managed to cobble together a team comprised mostly of local and promising talents which had recovered and shown great potential.
For some reason,these officials along with Government operatives led by the PM felt it was 'imperative' to get foreign expertise and what better than to consult his European chums in Germany who brought us a gentleman who's living like a prince along with his family as we keep wandering further from our goal(s) of qualification.
Our striking force has been pathetic at most scoring only 3 times in 4 games. We keep hoping the partnership of Oliech and Oboya will do something upfront but to no avail. The backline is also archaic looking at one Musa Otieno who blundered in yesterday's game even as he tries to live one last dream of playing in a major tournament.
I would go on and on critiquing the team but that's for the mainstream media which has been hoodwinked and co-opted into thinking we will make it to the aforementioned tournaments.
I would rather be more realistic like my Bongo brothers who are aiming for Brazil 2014 and are working in earnest starting with their local league. Have we gotten ours in order here, before thinking continental or global ?

World Record? Methinks there are better things we could be doing
» SportsKenya Over the weekend, we were treated to one of the oldest ( and lamest) athletics record being broken. OK for me, there was not much to celebrate given the fact that if our Kenyan athletes had kept their selfish interests (and those of their agents) at bay, we would have added another gold at the 1500m race.That we could afford to cobble up a team and even contribute athletes to other teams to help us break the 4x1500m record is really despicable. What happened to the more lucrative and recognisable 4x400m? We ruled this discipline in the 70s winning the 1972 gold ahead of the Britons, and repeated these performances in the Commonwealth Games in Christchurch-New Zealand and Edmonton-Canada in 1974 and 1978 respectively. The heritage lasted long enough into the 80s and 90s, where we won gold in the 1990 Commonwealth Games Auckland, New Zealand and bronze in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona.
After these we have concentrated on middle and long distance races which are no longer our stronghold anymore as evidenced by the Ethiopian, Eritrean and once in a while Chinese demolition.
As for those who celebrated with the 1500m brothers in Brussels, mine was a case of mourning days gone by !

Before You Know It, a Century's Gone By
» Mauri Yambo Before you know it, a century's gone by. Then another. Then all you can talk of is a distant place (this here) and another Time altogether, with which you are only in the slightest connected. Of people who, though quite who we are, we're quite, quite unlike. And so Time flies. In the main, though the emotions of roots and certainties of history remain, we're soon not really connected to any person we truly and personally know there, in the bygone Time [rpc.technorati.com]
