November 18: At the movies, at the movies!
With quite lovely company. However
there is likely to be a debate as to which movie is to be
watched. In such cases the rule of thumb holds -- he
who wears the trousers loses! (And to ye Amazons --
do not think too deeply about that crack about the
trousers!) November 20: Retire Imelda from active service. After close to 6 years of service and almost 6 different OSes later she is beginning to show her age by forgetting things and creaking at her joints. But I shall keep her around for her wisdom and guidance. This is the only lady that I could read like a book! November 23: Corporate dinner! The good thing with the end of the year is that one gets invited to all sorts of get-togethers, parties and such. Which I don't mind at all! Roast beef and potatoes shall be dispensed with ruthlessly and finally I get a chance to show off that I know what a fish knife is! November 29: Eve of the eve of my Birthday! November 30: Eve of my birthday. You'd better have my presents ready and gift wrapped! |

| There seems to be a movement that is pressing for the legalization of abortion in Kenya. There is another that is propagating free condoms and that kind of thing to be distributed to the youth. I personally disagree strongly with either of those movements but I am keen on getting feedback both from those who are against as well as those who support!

Peanuts These I will NOT have Email: Yahoo,
Netscape and Hotmail are doing perfectly well at this so if you don't
have and email address there is nothing I can do for you! Point is
I am not going to trawl the net looking for a free email service that
I can plug in here, chiefly because your email address would be ridiculous!
Just imagine a typical feller: mwenda@thinkersroom. freemailservice.whichisfree. reallyandtruly. hundredpercent.net Chat & message
boards: There are millions there already and I believe in specializing Cabbage:
There will be no cabbage, skuma wiki, skuma mwezi, skuma mwaka or
any other vegetable here |

Some of us seem to have some trouble understanding some very simple concepts which I am forced
to address right now just so we can all understand each other. I shall (when the inclination strikes me)
write a disclaimer of sorts which the less gifted intellectually can visit to remind themselves
of a few basic things.
This site is mine. This basically means: It belongs to me.
It is mine. It does not belong to you. It is not yours. It is unlikely that it will ever belong
to you Since we have established the above points,
let me proceed to say I will not take rude demands of what to include
or not. If you have pressing things to say the option of having your
own site will always remain open! I will not put your photo up here and
claim you are a good buddy, especially if you find yourself in the
position that even your best friends would not call you good looking,
nor do they. If you demand anything from me you, my friend, are out
the door. Ask nicely and I shall see what I can do I refuse to entertain flames and vitriol
from garden gnomes who derive all sorts of non existent racial, religious
or indeed any connotations from what I write. If your mind is small
I cannot be blamed for that! Ask your big brother or sister why they
took all the Gray Matter from your mother and left you with the Doesn't
Matter. I don't particularly care if you agree
with my views or not, of if you believe I am lying through my teeth
or not. If you find anything offensive or disagreeable and I happen
to disagree with you, my son what I put will remain for its natural
lifetime! Everything I write here is done in good
faith and in good humour. If you find anything offensive or insulting,
you, my friend, are strongly in need of a life. |
| ... RAIN RAIN GO AWAY! ... |
|---|
|
This rain is a bit much! I appreciate rain just as much as the next man
but unlike many people I am no cabbage and therefore am unlikely to
welcome the rain with the same enthusiasm whenever it descends heavily and
inharmoniously on my person! Departed from the Abode yesterday morning
in a light blue shirt and arrived at my destination with a dark blue
shirt and even darker blue trousers. The apparel is clinging to me
in a fashion I do not for the slightest second appreciate. Spend the
whole morning with steam rising from my person, to the fascination
of a large number of ladies and gentlemen in close proximity. Umbrella?
Did you say Umbrella? I think I am a Godsend to umbrella makers because
every Umbrella that leaves the house grasped in my fist ends up with
another home by the end of the day! For some reason I simply cannot
seem to get home without losing the pesky thing! Unwisely cave in to the whims of
some gentlemen bent on saving themselves a journey into town and not
only do I wind up in town eventually, I do that soaking wet,
tired, thirsty and hungry. Memo to self: In defiance to Albert
Einstein, the shortest path between two points is not necessarily
the shortest! For some reason I have the strong urge
to acquire a pet of some sort. No, you will not do
but thanks for the offer. I need something smaller. My good man
Jeremy some time back offered me a goat but that I shall
claim in about a month's time and some days later that animal will
be "roasting over an open fire". I am thinking of acquiring a pet
that is easy to take care off, does not need exercising and when the
worst comes to the worst, can be disposed of humanely. Right now the
only option that seems to fit the bill is a fish! |
| ... KENYANS! ... | |
|---|---|
|
Where else can this mentality be found? Our country is covered by a mere 3% of forests. This we all know, including those celebrations of intelligence that masquerade as our champions and leaders. But just look what we do? We shamelessly proceed to deallocate even more of the little forest for our own greedy use! And then we have the audacity to complain that our climate is not as good as it used to be! Is stupidity something we are born with or do we acquire it with practice? I am giving serious thought to doing this as a thesis for my masters! Research will not be a problem at all, because there is plenty of intelligence, or lack of it, that can be used to drive home my points!! For how long will we continue to sit back and let greedy guts destroy our economy our forests and our country while making good and sure that their are comfortably off in terms of privileges security and allowances?? Anyway, I am tired now but I shall return and address this issue with the venom and vitriol that it deserves! |
| ... FAMILY TIES ... |
|---|
| I have nothing against relatives. Heck, right now I occupy precisely that post in the lives of quite a number of people! But what I object against, and very strongly at that is the situation that I find myself in at present. At the Abode I am surrounded by relatives. Relatives ooze from every pore. When a door is opened relatives spill from the opened doorway. Stretch out a hand and you will touch a relative. Do a cartwheel and you will send some fifteen relatives tumbling off balance. Talk loudly and you will be cuffed by at least three relatives. It is unfortunate that as the festive season draws nearer the Abode will attract relatives like a magnet! If this season is anything like the last I will take to the streets in protest! I object to being ordered around in my own house! I object to having some little brat play in my bed and leave behind both solid and liquid residue that is only detected just after you have lowered your weary person onto the bed! I object to having my stock of assorted sweets, biscuits and fruits plundered ruthlessly by individuals who seem to possess bottomless pits where the rest of us have stomachs! I object to making small talk when I'd rather not be making small talk! I object to smiling foolishly as I am informed that I was known since I was knee high! I object to being asked silly questions like "Do you remember me? I was there when you were born!" Well, I was also there when I was being born and I don't jolly well remember a thing about me, let alone you! Aaargh! |
| ... ALAS! ... | |

 Miss Right has indeed been found. Problem is convincing her that I am Mr. Right! | If it were possible for my foot to gain access to my backside, I would right now busily and enthusiastically been in the process of kicking my own backside. There is nothing quite like well made boots to knock some reason into a hitherto sensible being! Why do I say this? Because at this cineforum I mentioned before a certain - ah - good lady that by now you must be tiring of hearing about was present. (BTW if you're tired remember this is my site. The option to get your own will always be open). It is true that a bewildering array of ladies whom by no stretch of the imagination can be construed as ugly or uninteresting, even by the most unperceptive of us (na tuko wengi!) but it just goes to show the lengths to which my defences have been breached that I cannot remember a single one of their names. The spirit is willing indeed, but third parties, coupled with a certain and quite unmanly cold feet saw to it that the entire 6 hour window flitted past like a bird on the wing! Courage man! Courage! |

come up with the most complicated way of writing
the string "I LOVE KENYA". I will only
entertain the languages I understand (And no
smart comments about English Neither!!!) so you
are only open to use: Java Visual Basic Power Builder JavaScript VBScript PHP Pascal C++ Delphi PERL C Am still teaching myself Prolog, PYTHON and C# but send your knowledge anyway to the usual address: Rad_DeC@go.com |

| ... CONTACTS ... |

| Don't call me, I'll call you! I'm too lazy to write some database stuff to gather your feedback so if you are really inspired you can catch me at Rad_Dec@go.com Or vent in the Guest Book. Please send suggestions, thoughts, rants and raves and anything you like to me. I however reserve the right to delete your mail without even reading it! |
| ... WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT ME? ... |
|---|
|
I would like to thank Me for all the support I have
given myself. I am one of a kind and I admire the time I have taken
to do this when I could be doing other more interesting things like
shelling peas. Let us not forget
Myself for the valuable contribution as well , of course,
as I who is indispensable to this project! There will also be
some people who will want to be thanked effusively despite the fact
that they have contributed nothing whatsoever. But I will thank
them anyway when I can remember their names and when they are actually
looking over my shoulder and I have no choice but to thank them for
nothing! |
| ... NEXT UPDATE ... |

|
I will update this site whenever it strikes me to and no sooner! No pleas, threats, bribes,
or cookies will induce me to do otherwise. (Unless they are really good cookies) For comments, please note the spellings of the words: OBNOXIOUS, SARCASTIC. SILLY has two Ls |
