• A Journey Worth Taking.. by A Sentimental Old Bastard

  Its been one hell of a ride!
  
  A year ago I started this blog originally just to vocalise my feelings. Primarily the fact that I was in love with my straight best friend and basically screwed. (pun not intended..much)
  
  Anyway so basically my first post was cringingly cliché . It was My Journey's Just Began LOL!...really, it has? (not obvious at all then)
  
  My second post went something like

  I'm in Love with my straight best friend and I'm in deep shit

  ( I was so eloquent even then. Mother would've been proud.)
  
  So the thing is:
  My best friend did get married and I found out people actually don't die of heart ache ( but it does hurt like a mo'fo'),
  
  I put up pictures of the most mouth wateringly hot guys ever (Hey what happened to them? I hear you asking),
  
  I posted really embarrasing stories about myself like the night I got chips fungwad (i.e for non-Kenyans the day I had a one-night stand ),
  
  I wrote about the day I came out to my parents,
  
  I confessed that I once had a crush on my brother-in-law (I see a pattern here, don't you?),
  
  I warned you against getting your intimates pierced ( bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, very bad idea- I cannot stress that enough).
  
  And despite being the guy that no mother or father should ever meet, y'all stuck with me!
  
  In the process, I got to meet (on blogger) the great Blogren: see blog list and villagers on the side. Special mention to those who don't appear on the list but make my day when you do come here- malaika, kenyan chic,otti, canuckchic,leonardo...etc y'all rock.
  And thanks all of you anons who comment- you make my day.
  
  I also got several emails sent to me each week which in summary consist of:
  
  1. I'm a tourist coming to Kenya- wanna hook up for a bit of nookie?
  2. Do you wanna date me?
  3. I'm in love with you, please call me! ( numbers provided and all)
  4. No.2 continued.. you don't want to date me!!!!?? OMG! But why? I'm in love with you! (I think no. 2,3 and 4 are the same person...too much of a coincidence methinks)
  5. Get saved, repent and the Lord will save you from hell. ( erm.. thanks...but I like it down here ok. And its ok if I'm going to hell at least I'll finally get to meet you dear Christian-who writes-me-every-week-to-save-my-gay-ass-from-satan)
  5. I know who you are! You are XXXXXXX aren't you?
  You aren't? Are you sure you're not him? Then you're VVVVVV? Am I right Am I?
  
  I should mention here that Emailer No. 5 and I have become really good penpals. :) He/she emails me every week attempting to identify me. Its become really fun. I even miss those emails when they don't come. And now we even email back and forth over non-identity issues. Last week I asked he/she for advice on where to buy the freshest veggies in Nairobi. I wonder if No. 5 stalked the vegetable vendor all of last week waiting for me (feels evil muaha ha ha ha).
  
  I've had a blast this past year and I never thought I'd still be posting and there's lots more to come! Yay for blogger!
  
  Like did I ever tell you of the time I went on my first gay date in college?
  No?
  Well , a little short guy greeted me at the door wearing a Star Wars costume when I picked him up for our first, and last,date. I don't think he liked it when I laughed so hard I cried. The way he slammed the door in my face was a clue.
  

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
