The best way to judge the character of a person is not in how they behave around their friends but rather, in how they interact with total strangers. Why you ask? Because even the shyest of individuals comes alive around people they are comfortable with. Being placed in a room full of strangers leaves one... Continue Reading →
That Thing Between Your Legs
She could hear him making his way towards the house from the main gate. It was him alright, she had grown accustomed to the aggressive thump of his soles on the ground; he always walked as if he had a fight to pick with the soil beneath his feet; sort of like a man on... Continue Reading →
Of Devolution and Stainless-Steel Wheelbarrows
Wheelbarrows for Kshs.109,000? What’s all the fuss about? I mean, they are made of “stainless steel” and non-carcinogenic materials. 109,000 is surely a very fair price for such special barrows. Never mind the fact that food security and poor roads are still a major issue Bungoma. No bruh, we have to worry about the safety... Continue Reading →
Of Cigarettes, Good Music and finding the One
It all begins at The Pit. It’s a bright Saturday afternoon, good hip hop is playing and you find yourself bobbing your head involuntarily to the rhythm. The Vogue ciggy is slowly burning away and you take a deep puff. You’ve always loved how slender they were; how the smoke was so subtle people hardly... Continue Reading →

It’s one of those things you wish you hadn’t come across because now I’m worried sick about the state of my brain. I’ve been indulging in a... Continue Reading →
What Your Phone Says About You
Well, I don’t know what but something about a cracked screen screams “careless!” especially if it’s a woman’s. It just gives off that “I will drop your baby so many times” vibe
CITY FLESH PEDDLERS
A good dealer must have shrink tendencies. Once you spot a prospective client, you have to mentally strip them bare, analyse them even before they begin speaking. It’s a war tactic: to exercise some form of power and control over someone, you must know them first. You have to intuitively be a good judge of... Continue Reading →
I am My Kenya
We are a complaining country. A country that keeps blaming the government for failing to fulfill it's duties. We blame the goverment for corruption, poor state of roads, a failing health industry, the pathetic state of public schools...well, basically everything.
