  i got home last night at around 7.20 pm. my mom and cuz came to get me from the airport. this was the most eventful flight ever!
  starting with the gin induced coma i got my self into the night before... so much for detox! then i found out three of my friends will be on the same flight. (tenen tenen!)
  
  the O R TAMBO airport in johanessburg is always undergoing construction so they changed all the boarding gates, check in points and terminals. and that airport is huge! we walked around forever before getting unlost. we settled at newscafe (that would be a bar) for two or three cold ones. we noticed people had already started boarding so we made our way to the gate. turns out the plane was close to leaving without us coz me and my friends were craving a ciggy and we were looking for a place to smoke!!!
  
  the flight = 5 or 6 shots of vodka.
  
  we got to kenya okay. my mom took me and my cousin out to dinner at carnivore. i love meat! plus of course you can't be at carni and not have dawa ( double vodka, lemon and honey with ice) loved it!!! had about three of those and a glass of red wine... (it's good for digestion) hehehehehe
  
  
  woke uo this morning with a stomach bug from hell!!! (that's me trying not to be vulgar) regardless, i am going out tonight and i will have a super fun thyme!!!
  
  it's good to be back people!
  there's no place like home!

• fw: fw: WINE = HEALTH

  i love a glass of wine as much as teh next guy but now i can justify my drinking habits.
  a friend just forwarded me this email...
  
  To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine...
  And those who don't.
  
  
  
  
  
  As Ben Franklin said:
  In wine there is wisdom,
  In beer there is freedom,
  In water there is bacteria.
  
  In a number of carefully controlled trials,
  Scientists have demonstrated that if we drink
  1 liter of water each day,
  At the end of the year we would have absorbed
  More than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) - bacteria
  Found in feces.
  In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop..
  However,
  We do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer
  (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor)
  Because alcohol has to go through a purification process
  Of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
  
  Remember:
  Water = Poop,
  Wine = Health.
  Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid,
  Than to drink water and be full of shit.
  
  There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:
  I'm doing it as a public service!
  
  true story! you've got to believe them! they're scientists!
  cheers!

  Yesterday, (Saturday) South Africa played a friendly soccer match against Japan at the new bay stadium in Port Elizabeth. The stadium's actually one of the few that was built for the world cup so everyone was really stoked to go. One of my friends got us free tickets and everything. He is organizing a concert and actually got 100 tickets to the match for his friends.
  
  IT WAS SO AWESOME!
  
  I was writting an exam in the morning, i was sleep deprived because i was up studying the night before and i almost missed the whole thing because after my paper i just got home and passed out.
  
  We all got really good seats. Right next to where some of the Japanese team were stretching. It was amazing! That was the first live soccer match i had ever attended. The energy in the stadium! It was packed to capacity! Although we had all said we would be supporting Japan, (yeah, we're haters) when the SA anthem played we couldn't help singing the few lines we know! Their anthem is in four languages! All these south africans flooded the place with their colourful vuvuzelaz* some wearing wigs that had the colours on the flag. Many of them were in yellow Bafana Bafana (that's the national team) t-shirts jumping up and down, taking pictures, just showing love.
  Ooh, also, when the Japan team was close, me and my friends were all "HARRO SEXY ASIAN MEN! WE ROVE YOU RONG TIME!!! KONICHIWA!!! BANZAI!!!" we were just shouting any Asian words we could think of. It was hilarious.
  
  Although i was tired as hell, and the score came out 0 - 0, we had a super phun thyme! Also, we all got free vuvuzelas* ghise things are harder to blow than they look. My lips and cheeks were hurting, but i finally learnt how to blow it AFTER the match. Go figure!!!
  
  The stadium was built really well, enough rest rooms, they were clean too, the bleachers had actuall seats, they were two big screens on either side to show the replays, there were drinks and refreshment stands... in the stadium building but not by the pitch. They had that artificial grass thing going on. It was really international standards. Made me feel bad about Kenya for a second because Nyayo Stadium and Kasarani came into mind. Hopefully we'll get there.
  
  I'll upload the pictures as soon as i get to a computer but that was an event to remember. I'm not a soccer fan but the atmosphere and the adrenaline was hectic!!! The six or seven beers helped too!!!
  
  Me rove you rong time!!!
  Peace.

  2gay Kenyans get married in the UK.
  My mom forwarded me an email with the pictures and her only comment was "Ngai, ni wa kikuyu!" *God, they are kikuyus.
  My mom is the most liberal parent i have ever met. I know she's got nothing against gay people. She's met my gay friends both in Kenya and in SA. Funtimes.
  
  As long as I'M not gay. (that's always the line right?)
  
  I've been reading on the net about how it's been all over the news, and the matter wasn't handled well. Everyone was/is talking about it.
  Although, i digress, i heard the blackout that happened yesterday was a temporary distraction.
  I'm straight, i've had my share of girl on girl action, you know, typical college girl stuff. But i'm into men. i've got nothing against gay folk. and i don't mean nothing against like 'they should only do whatever behind closed doors', or 'they should stop airing shows like will and grace or the l-word.' or 'children shouldn't be exposed to that kind of behaviour' that's a load of bull. I'm no expert but i know you can't catch it! It's not a cold! Shit... The only issue i'd have is if they were excessively PDAin (Public Display of Affection) which by the way is my stand for straight couples as well... So yeah. So don't say i don't get it. they can makeout a little, hold hands but even seeing a guy and a girl, guy's tongue down girl's throat, guy's hand down girl's pants or in girl's blouse... Get a room! :)
  Now replace "girl" with "guy" dudes, get a room still! No bif...
  
  Homophobia is soooo 1990's!
  
  I was reading this guy's facebook status, he was saying how the government won't accept it! And he said "this is Kenya! They shouldn't even be thinking about such things!"
  That really annoyed me... ignorant mother***
  
  So anywho, i read this statement somewhere, it was either another blog or some website
  
  YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A COW TO FIGHT AGAINST ANIMAL CRUELTY.
  
  So here is a very heterosexual female not understanding why the rest of the population can't accept gay folk. They're not hurting anyone, just being them. I'm a sucker for love. How some gay guys talk about their relationships... it's so sweet, they still get whipped the way straight people do. Love is love. just be thankful to exist in the same space and time as the person you've fallen inlove with. (i think Maya Angelou said that in some movie)
  
  Then how people were calling it UNNATURAL and UNAFRICAN???
  
  Un-African? Really? I'm just happy where i study, the gay guys are allowed to be open. The cool cute gay guys actually their own clique at varsity. infact, the last MR.(name of uni) was gay... and i'm in SA so they shouldn't go around calling it UNAFRICAN.
  
  UN-CHRISTIAN...
  
  There's other people using religion as an aspect.
  "it's written in the bible"
  "God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve"
  I'm sure the gay guys who are reading this must be rolling their eyes. They must have heard that "Adam and Steve" line a thousand times!
  what i don't get is how the same people calling it un-cristian and reaching for the Holy Water, are the people we party with, who are doing the whole drinking, smoking, casual sex, stealing, lieing and coveting thing. So fine, of you're gonna use religion as a crutch, let's say for a moment that being gay is a "sin" you should get of your high horse coz there's a bunch of other commandments that you are breaking as well...
  Religion is currently not a strong point of mine.
  
  Then i saw on twitter and also on blogger that the govt. Is gonna spend ksh.40mil to count the gay folk. I still don't know what my take on that is... It's awesome that they are starting to acknowledge that gay people are there instead of sweeping it under the rag like they were some kind of problem... I'd like to know what the gays think about this whole census thing. And will they be willing to come out and be counted, or is the government planning to conduct it annonymously? And are they doing the census with changing the constitution in mind? It's illegal to be gay in Kenya right?
  Lemmi know what you guys think.
  
  All i know is that i went to this gay party once, and IT WAS AWESOME! finger food and wine glasses and they had decorated it really well. Fun times! Those guys could dance, poppin and droppin and everything. (i'm not trying to stereotype that all gay men can dance, i'm just saying!) I must have been about seventeen at the time. We just had a "gay old time" (pun intended!)
  
  Peace and love people.

Blah blah blah
