Wilde Yearnings

  • OUT in the open

    Last weekend was one of the most enjoyable times I've had in a while.

    I attended a party that one of my friend's was having, then enjoyed the rugby on Saturday afternoon- the Bamburi super 14's finals. It was, as is every sport event in Kenya, electric. Nairobi folk sure know how to have a good time.

    At the rugby, a young man comes up to me and asks me if I am the author of a gay Kenyan blog- Wildeyearnings. I think the look of shock on my face was answer enough. He then assured me that he was gay too and just thought that the 'pointy*-looking guy sitting there surrounded by cans of beer fit the description of me on my blog!'

    LOL @ this description of me which is sadly quite true- the beer part :)

    (* Pointy = Kenyan slang to describe mixed race individuals. Pointy derives from the phrase point five i.e you're half of each race or 0.5 (zero point five) of the whole)

    It was nice to meet him- and he was so polite too. We didn't exchange names unfortunately or have time for further conversation- being surrounded by half-drunk chanting rugby fans is generally not conducive to meaningful conversation - so this post is a shout-out to the blog reader, fellow rugby fan and one of the politest gentlemen I've met in a while!

    So yes, next time you see someone, not quite one-colour, sitting with bottles of that awesome brew and cursing at the rugby referree. come say hi!

    Lovely weekend folks.
