Football




There is this bread of men who are programmed differently and society tend to cast them away and give them the side eye. I stand here today(am actually sited in a matatu with loud music in the morning heading to town.). But still I stand in heart & mind.

  The point is I defend the boy child who does not like or even care about football.
I know I have already stepped on to many peoples toes but someone had to address this issue.
Its not that we are less of a man or as they say "mkona umama" but we tend to view it in a very different angle.

Walk with me, the game is 90mins that's exclusive of extra time, 24 grown as men on a small green field divided into two. Separate team in various formations (will not go into details due to the fact that they run all over the place) and finally the ball.

Ooh I forgot the two goal posts where the ball should go into to consider a score. But there is a guy guarding the post to avoid the ball getting in(goalkeeper).

So basically that's how this guys arrange themselves so for the next 90mins they will be playing with this ball snatching each other with the aim of getting the ball to get into the the opposite side goalpost or net.

This cat and mouse game goes on for a whopping 45mins they then take a 15min break, get back to the field for another 45. If all goes well they are added another 5mins or so.
(The aim here is not to explain how football works but now u get the picture). Now what we do not understand is how do u spend all that time on a TV screen watching grown ass men chasing an inflated ball trying to get it into the opponents net.
And after all that sweat and even causing serious injuries to each other they end up scoring an average of 2-3 goals on either side. Who does that?

90mins is too much to spend on that. I mean that a full episode of vikings or even valor( this is a new series),in that same time I can write and publish two blog posts, or even get to have a Samantha moment(if you know what I mean)

So what we saying is that 90mins  is to much if I was 13 or 17 mins we could consider it.
All in all hatuna ubaya we just see the world from a different angle & we would like to be appreciate if we not given the side eye.
Naenda hivi nakam......

Dinner

I look straight into her eyes , she is not the best in my pool but at least she tries (I think).she smiles and blushes away and doesnt notice am in deep thoughts. Yes she is not perfect so am I. She's neither the worst. The great book says says a man a man shall leave his parents and build his home. I have already left home, now leaving in a rental apartment alone (though she constantly crushes for days). Am yet to build a home. Is she the one I should build a home with? is she the rock, the pillar , foundation I want to work with. This questions have been flood my mind for a long time and I need answers ASAP.  "Dear what's up?", she asks Do I tell her the truth? They do say truth and honesty is key, how will she react? Does she do the same or does she tell me what i need to hear. "Nothing dear", I reply. I snap back to reality and lord oh lord she is looking gorgeous. That's blue dress brings out the curves in her perfectly. "You looking tasty...

Unga

Remember my ka-subaru that broke down? Imagine this dude has never finished repairing it. Actually am at the garage and this dude has the audacity  to climb up another man's car and begin repairs while mine is collecting dust. "Habari ya mzee?" (Dude who are calling mzee?,do I look like someone's dad?) "Poa, bado hujamaliza na uko juu ya ingine?" This conversation goes on roughly 20mins back and forth but he clams it will be done by end of weekend. Free advice never pay your mechanic the full amount at once, they never get the work done.(I think he was also smelling of alcohol) Now am a disappointed man, I was supposed to catch up with Ndung'u at thika and discuss some 'shamba' deal but I guess I have to postpone. I grab a bag pack from the hind seat, Yell at the mechanic again(if you don't yell this guys never take you serious) and head for the mall. I have to call her again. Remember the noisy bus I was just say...

The Unborn

The day had began on a higher note, the sun is not fully out yet but the weather is calm, I have just finished taking my breakfast. (Which by the way am very full cant lift a muscle am forced to chill a little longer on the couch). There is nothing better in this world like marrying a good woman(almost said perfect then just remembered ..... You know). Then things get better if she is of good character and looks good physically (forget the crap people say 'beauty is inward'). Let me break it down. She is chocolate in complexion, sightly chubby but not to much someone I can lift.(what's up with this small girls nowadays they all  wanna be skinny.) Perfect shape, everything its where its supposed to be, correct shoe size, good nose structure as well as dental. U know that ka-chich you ogle at when you walking along moi avenue? That's what I have in the house. To add salt to an injury she she can cook. (Dem, what did i do to deserve this). If you haven't noticed...
