yester...was a sluggish day..been lethergic for a while now..up until i saw something tht brightened me up.i changed my blog template (excitements of a new blogger)..then what do i see? comments..yes comments!i was estatic..my blog is no longer virgin...thanks to one rocnaija(he's got some great blog rocnaija.com) and a lady known as simply kmlpx catch her here..(she great too..forget the part tht she sorta made me scamper for the hills for following her blog..but thts settled...hi kmlpx..thanks a bomb!)..yeah which brings to mind that i probably should tell how i came to blog...here goes....
i like hanging out..just tht there was one slight prob..we just never found a spot comfy enough to hang out frequently..too noisy..too dark..too stuffy..too outta town..too many women(yes tht will be a first..it can be a prob but i will tell tht tale later)..until one day one of the guys stumbled into one (he was pressed n was realy lookin for a gents..any gents to relieve hisself..)..the story is that he saw some joint n got in..didnt pay mind to the ambience..or the red carpet..or the slot machines..or the soft ascending music playin in the background..not even the lack of skimply dressed mamas wit red lipstick and skirts cut in half...nope just the door wit the lion head carved on the door (yes the place makes ya feel like a real alpha!)at the end of a staircase..but as soon as he was done wit the urgency in his crotch..it dawned on him..the gents was superb..the taps had hot water..the place had a lofty comfy scent..he figured one drink wouldnt be so bad..and it turned out great..the smoking section was great.. air conditioned..the beer was at the right temp..n u cud get ur glass warmed or chilled if u liked tht kinda stuff...but best of all it was cheaper than lotsa places in town (dont get me wrong am not cheap..but if youre going to drink a good portion of ur earnings..y not get a good deal while u at it)..so we got introduced to the casino babylon..n we loved it! hoping that i havent lost u this far...how this neat recreational establishment ties into blogging is this - the place is patroned by lotsa africans..kenyans..rwandese..ugandans..congolese (you see any gucci/armani up in there..il est un frere)..nigerians et al. i believe that explains the captivity of this establishment...i can shout bingo in 3 or 4 diff vernaculars thanks to the patrons..and with time we got to chat wit some of them..its a casino so u know the stories are marvelous...and they have the charm to get benjamin franklin's face off a dollar...
so begun my fascination with 9ja and congo (yeah i like the tanzanians too..great with swahili..and the rwandese have a touch wit women)....so whenever i had the time id check out stuff about these two lovely nations...i started in wikipedia and ended up in blogger.com...now if you are questioining my indulgences...maybe now would be a good time to mention that at one point in time i racked the internet for bloods n crips..angling...serial killers...among other things...because the human nature realy intrigues me...yes so i discovered lotsa n lotsa blogs...and the more i read the more i discovered that there were alot of people like me...people trying to figure out this thing called life...and sharing their feelings about anything and everything...i read a book once..and the narrator was talking about some guy named Lenderer..at some point he noted that (roughly quoted) 'a man's ability to express themselve reflects upon the quantity of grey matter in between their ears...and thus by that criterion this fella Lenderer was circumsised from the neck up'...you gotta love that one...i entirely agree with this guy...albeit to say...my lot (my great lovely kenyan people are a smart enterprenuring enduring diverse peaceful..fun loving lot) however as much as we can speak swahili...we cant get as musical and poetic sounding as our tanzanian brothers...and we are great with our english too...but going through nigerian blogs..you gotta love them...(okay incase am arousing any feelings of bias to any nationality...please hold ur patriotic horses...i promise i will work through mama africa's variety..blogwise..and i will give my plaudits as i go)..so i got the 'this is it - the damn apple didnt fall for no reason' conviction that bloggin would be something i shud do..i hope to continue enjoying the experience..and maybe someday...i will have lotsa comments and visitors (nobody ever said no to a little more attention right)...in the meantime..thank you rocnaija...and kmplx..and a whole lot of bloggers (yes you who's reading this..thank you) that lead to this post...enjoy your day..and oh yes..leave a comments..those lil thingies take me to some highs!
