(Listening to Curtis Jackson & Marshall Mathers warning me not to push them)
A guy I haven’t spoken to in a year just wrote me asking what’s up with my ex-girlfriend’s christian endtime rants on the internet. His words, not mine.
So, like K’Naan, I just took a minute to let it ride and after taking another minute to let it breeze, I realized that it is kinda true. Chick done gone and pulled a John Hagee. Which if you know said woman is kinda like expecting Comrade Bob to invite Tsvangirai to tea and scones.
But, that ain’t even the crazy part. Check this out, I did the stroll down memory boulevard … and all the women I have dated, liked, been in like with, been with and generally fooled around with in the last five or six years have, in varying degrees, found God, morality and religion.

He asked why i stopped Blogging posted on February 5, 2011 - 6:59am

I stopped blogging because I was lazy and undisciplined.
I stopped blogging when my friends with benfits started blogging.
I stopped blogging when – and i now agree with Dennis – blogging became another “cool pastime” and the intellectual giants amongst us – e.g. you – let this shit happen.
I stopped blogging when I started to place a premium on what the people who now knew me as Degstar thought about me, and not on what my still small voice mind was really itching to say.
I stopped blogging because I fell in love and subsequently became disillusioned.
I stopped blogging when I realised that being smart and shit didn’t get you any sex; quite the contrary, so I went to the gym.
I stopped blogging and now I regret it.

Update on Rehema posted on April 28, 2010 - 5:11pm

Y’all,
w’ssup?
I’ve just been chatting with Rehema’s caretaker; y’all might recall that last week they were in Mpererwe, at the Katalemwa Cheshire Home for children with difficulties. The Docters that examined her recommended that she travel to the CURE Children’s hospital in Mbale for admission/further tests/examinations and surgery. They’re experts that way. Here’s the thing though, she’s back in Jinja because well, there’s no money to take them to Mbale and keep them fed and whatnot out there. So, please with flowers on top, reach down into your wallets/bras/back pockets/purses/cheque books/cookie jar/pombe allowance/petty cash and fish out a rabbit for this beautiful young lady.
May your giving be inspired.
Deg.

Every So Often … posted on April 15, 2010 - 2:54pm

Every so often we come across something or someone that reminds us how our perceived issues and desires and problems are nothing more than … mere drops in the ocean of life.
I had one of those moments this morning when I opened The New Vision and found this;

Listening to the sounds of 5 women getting dressed upstairs
Today, I will be wearing a kanzu and my Ugandan flag lapel pin.
Today, I will be driving a manual car, without a license, all over Karen – I pray that the traffic gods are observing the Sabbath today.
Today, Celia and Sam will be getting wed at the Mucweru Golf Course.
Today there will be Tusker and nyama forever.
Today, I will get high and kiss a Kenyan Girl pakalast.
Aaah, Kenyan Girls … napenda sana bana!

Listening to Hugh Masekela’s Greatest Hits
Tomorrow evening I will be in Nairobi, being treated to dinner by my friend Kumiko.
But knowing Kumi, that dinner might just turn out to be a nyama choma feast at The Carnivore. Kumi, in the most unlikely event that you’re reading this, scrambled eggs and some Ketepa Gold tea will do just nicely, thank you very much. But, I know you won’t be reading this so, go on and cook up a feast, I could use the extra pounds. Kilos I mean, mbu pounds, as if I’m in England. Ha!

Every weekend i go home to visit my nephew AJ.
he’s 4 years, 2 months and 1 day old now.
last weekend was no exception and this time i took him the PS2 LOTR as i continue my quest to turn him into a red meat eating, belching, nail biting man and not the sissy that hanging around his mum and her legion of female friends will surely turn him into.
i was mighty pleased to hear that a few days ago, upon being woken for his morning bath before breakfast, he told his mum that he would be bathing himself. that made me proud, my little man is manning up. then his mother continued the story …

I am an insomniac.
Some days are better than others.
The last few weeks have been horrid.
This is an account of a typical night for me.
12:30am – Sis wakes me after I fall asleep on the couch awaiting The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, to stay awake I grab the last chocolate chip cookie from tea at Charlotte’s place earlier today.
1:30am – elec bursts. Shoot. I’m going to bed, besides Top Gear aint even coming on no more. Bloody hell. Send Sheeba a text, she prolly just having dinner right now. Bloody mosquito is back, wonder where’s it been last few days
2:00am – say the first of what will be many prayers, decide to wear jeans and wingtips tomorrow + Cherie’s Red Ribbon
