The phone is our cybernetic extension, quips one of the oddly intriguing humans I follow out there. Elon Musk, if we are meeting for the first time.
Uuuuuh scary huh? Hahaha I know.. I know, it's taboo to even think about it let alone put together organized thoughts and pen er….. type them down.
Josphat finished campus in 2011 at a reputable institution in the country's capital. Let us not mention any names they (Institutions) are sensitive nowadays
Once upon a time there lived a gentleman sic gentlefrog by the name Froggy( You know it's going to be fire when a story starts with Once upon a time huh?....) Now Froggy did not grow up Rich, neither did he grow up poor. His family owned or rather had to its name a sizable amount of the communal pool where all the frogs resided and did their thing from, you know, like crocking endlessly at cows that did not give a hoot haha.
Capital Fm without Chris Kirubi feels different, slaps some typa way. It took me a while but eventually during a recent Friday flight, one of the longest serving DJ segments on any show by DJ Adrian, I finally put a scratch….er I mean a finger to it (haha)
Naseeb Abdul Juma Issack popularly known as Diamond Platnumz once opined on his 2013 banger My Number 1 ... “ Kwanza Mapenzi safari, Ujana ni maji ya moto, walinenanga zamani” …. I was 24 then, and for some strange reason a hardcore Eastcoast Hiphop fan like myself was touched by that line from a genre I then considered wack.
Growing up and schooling in Butere - Sabatia was not all that fascinating, not with neighboring schools with names like Eshitsitswi, Enyenyesi, Eshinamwenyuli, Ebuchenya, Eshibanga and my very own Ebukolwe. I see folks joke on the interwebs how the name of the school was a contributing factor in performances, well not funny guys, folks in Emuyundi primary do not like that joke at all! Now in a bid to make the names a bit palatable, the prefix E would be dropped like a hot Potato.
I came to Bungoma roughly eight years ago, the intriguing bit being the fact that I only knew my friend from Campus, host and now business partner to date.
As the legend goes, a father once sent the son to the wisest man in the land. The objective? To teach the young lad the meaning of life. Now the young fella who I am going to call Mark was pleasantly surprised that the wise man lived in a palatial residence and that he hosted on the regular rich merchants and dignitaries from across the land. The place was lit! A reference Mark would probably have used if he lived in our times. Food was in plenty, booze on the free flow and there were generally good vibes.
