I hate mondays all over again!

You know how you wake up one morning and just feel like shit? Well, that is how I feel this morning.......Nothing major has happened (well except for the man U draw) but I feel like I hate every single person I meet this morning. And no its not PMS! (shidwe) Then I remember this quote that I read somewhere:

"All things come to those who wait, provided he knows what he is waiting for"

Then it hit me: Iam sooo fed up with Sudan, my job, my boss and my colleagues, am just waiting here for something to happen. Unfortunately I don't know what that is. I have reached a point where I really don't care what happens as long as something does. I do realise that I may have to make something happen, but I don't want to. I don't have the energy it will take to get off my ass at this particular moment. And I strongly suspect I will wake up kesho feeling slightly better. Well will wait and see.

Meanwhile I made this list just to cheer myself up:
You know that program "wife swap"? Well here are some people who should swap

• Justin Timber(lake) and Lenny Kravitz (JT thinks he is black and Kravitz has multiple tattoos and piercings)
• Beyonce and JLO (B thinks she is white and JLO has a black ass)
• Kamotho and Tuju (need I say more)
• Eve d Souza and Shanice (Eve knows black music better than most blacks while shanice should just go)
• Rick Dees and Walt baby Love
  
• Oprah and Ellen (In what must be the only joke 50 cent has ever made, he called Oprah an Oreo- black on the outside, white on the inside, LOOL. While Ellen does have black fun)

Please cheer me up and add some more Swaps!

Ok am off to wallow in my misery!
Enjoy your week Y'all

The Bush, the Love and the corruption

First of let me declare that I love Sudan (south-couldn't give a F**** about the north) and all its people. (realise how we do that when we know that what we are going to say next will not be very flattering?) They have adopted me in a way I can not imagine or believe that Kenyans would. But the fact that I love them does not mean I can't see the wrong that is going on.

In the last 3 months I have been to almost every corner of this vast country (and it is big I tell you). The peace signing was hyped so much and it was seen as the second coming. It was like manna was gonna start falling the moment peace was signed....Every villager believed it. Everywhere you go they tell you the same thing. How they knew their lives would improve. Unfortunately this euphoria has turned into despair and distrust for the leaders- who are unelected.

This is the third year since the CPA was signed and nothing is happening. No schools are being built, no roads, no hospitals.

Many of the official are people who had fled the war to countries like Kenya, unfortunately they learnt a little too well from our Kenyan politicians how to get paid to do nothing. There are rumours that some government officials receive a salary but they live in the US and UK...........HOW ????????? Another rumour has it that ministers are paid 35,000 USD to go for treatment abroad. SERIOUSLY? whether this rumours are true or not, the fact remains that they are in the public perception and this is how the public views them.

What is not a rumour is that the equivalent of a Provincial Commissioner drivers around with almost 8 cars and more that 20 security guards. This show of affluence in the face of people who can barely afford one meal a day is unfortunately only matched by NGO's. Aaaaach African leaders when shall we learn.

Well, I better stop there before I get arrested like the so called Rumbek 6. Apparently there are quiet a number who have been arrested and remanded bila trial for eons........and try being arrested in a country without laws!

still Kenyan

* SIGH*
Anyone who had any doubt that I was cured of my bloggaddiction just needs to look at the date of my last entry. I am happy to report that I am back to civilization- though am not very sure it is civilization after seeing the mount elgon clashes !

How is everyone?

Kwanza I would like to thank Bants for holding forte over at bookworms. (despite the fact that he was asking people to do reviews in Sheng........................*SMH*) Bants you are by far the most talented and probably the only sheng writer in the Kenyan Blog sphere. And am glad to report that he did not pull a "nation"Asante Bants.

Haya I believe you need to leave this country to appreciate the changes that have happened, the moment I landed my first impression was how clean Nairobi had become- but again that could be due to the fact that I had been in the bush! A few other things I have noticed:

1. Politicians are still trivial, pointless and Oh so irrelevant. Whats with the stupid hummer debate? People, human beings are dying in Mt Elgon.......and these guys are talking about some ugly car? And suddenly all of them are getting self righteous: ati how can you spend all that money on a car and you are the MP of the biggest slum in Africa. Its not even as if had he not bought a hummer he would have spent that money in Kibera. Besides Ryan Sycreast and Simon Cowell will develop Kibera!
2. At any given time in this country there is a station playing a song by Akon. To be fair the guy has many songs. I wish he could just go away and take Rhianna with him.
   
3. Raila is still up to date with the movements of the Artur brothers. How? Why?
4. We still have no president.

Now that I have reported arrival, shall be catching up with old friend here and looking forward to making new ones as well. Thanks everyone.
Enjoy the weekend

Out of service (for a while)

Hi,
its been a while. hope everyone is doing good.

I have been in the bush and will be going back in the bush in the next day or so.

Therefore, this blogger will be out for a while.

I am looking for volunteer (s) to take up the honour that is managing Bookworms (yeah I know I have been doing a lazy ass job of managing it)

Bants Una roho?

Anyways

Mujienjoi!

Promise to come back with stories from the "new" improved sudan

Over sensitive?

That AD actually says : Give monthly and Deliver THEM from evil
Is it because am In a sad place right now? Or is it that I have seen where the money comtributed goes or is it really idiotic to put up such an Ad?

What is this evil that "they" are being delivered from? And who are "they"

Oh am such a Cynic
