Texting Shenanigans

Is it not annoying when you are talking to someone probably giving them instruction or making inquiry and they're not respecting the eye contact rule? This is even more disgusting when they are busy on their phone's keyboard. Even more irritating when the keyboard keeps making sounds or vibrating annoyingly. It becomes disrespectful when they node or "seem" to agree with that hhmmm..sound only to ask "sorry what did you say?"

This texting thing is really getting out of hand. It is even a leading cause of accidents on our roads today. It is not surprising to see please don't text signs on any highway today. This is not just a driver's thing. Pedestrians are hit by vehicles while crossing the road. Smartphones - texting sensation to be specific has made us careless, Zombies. We have become those Walkers on The Walking Dead serial.
This makes more sense when you walk with someone in town and they have to make unprecedented stops in order to text their significant other. There is really no difference between you and those Walkers my friend.

Let me make it clear that it is really not a bad thing to text, it wouldn't have been legal to own a phone, would it? It is a good thing when you are using it for the good reasons in the right places with the right people. Right and good are relative.

I am a believer of the words " the world should not just revolve around one person."  If your world is contrary to the statement, you better start living, by leaving the world you are in. Life will pass you by if you spend the better part of your day texting one person.

I'm not judging you, infact I've been there. I tell you for free that you will start appreciating life better when you stop worrying about the two minute delay on whatsapp( makes it worse when they're online, and now when the ticks turn blue, in my time there were no blue ticks so I can imagine the desperation). Leave this thing, texting syndrome I mean and just focus on building your future, you won't be dumped by being focused. If you're dumped you know they were not worth your whole day.

To you who after a long day you want to text your clandestine while driving so that your wife doesn't become curious, just stop for our highways' sake. Listen to Jimmy Gathu's drive show(shouldn't be too mature for you, get some sense, from the air). You will be reducing your risk of dying from a road accident by a large margin .

This texting madness has to stop. I think what the county government introduced was a great thing. You're found using your phone while crossing the road in Nairobi, you are arrested. It is not a very pleasant law, but if it can save lives, why not?

If you text in class just stop it, I know some lectures can be boring, but instead, contribute to the "creative" discussions in the KOT sphere. Troll Safaricom so they keep on reducing their data charges. Unajenga nchi, now that we're number two in using Social Media after Philippines in emerging and developing economies. Enjoy your week.

Valentine's Hangover

I am probably the unluckiest man on the planet, not extremely but yoh, people are very unlucky out there. They say, it's a jungle out there!
I'm unlucky ONLY in this doro Valentine's sh*. Other aspects of life I'm quite lucky. Like lucky being single and all. I hear that while I was busy watching that old Percy Jackson movie, on my phone, my supposedly crush and future Valentine's date was busy posting photos on Instagram with her significant other.

I don't know what you think about that but I'm quite sure, that St. Valentine did not die for these kind of scenes. I understand the fact that 14th Feb was not meant for romantic kind of love only, even brotherly, family and societal. Bromance can also be celebrated on this lovely day. No?

I tried to figure out the main reasons why I was watching Percy Jackson, alone. Well at least why I was not getting some on Saturday
First, I think Percy, (not Percy Jackson)you seriously cast a spell on me or something. Imagine from that time, I have not been able to create any creative pick up line. I have just been traumatized, seriously I don't even know. I can't even think straight when I think about your name. When I think about you, I have to listen to dorobucci to bring me back to life, back to my senses. I just have one thing to say to you, rather a song to " say" to you, Adelle's Rolling in the deep. 

Speaking of pick up lines, I was walking in town the other day after school. Then I walked past this click of friends who were probably KEMU students, because they seemed really comfortable around that area code of KEMU towers. I really was not eavesdropping but I just got to hear this talk, " Imagine I just had to stop her and tell her I know her from IG." The pals were like "for real?" , "yeah man, I just had to" he answered enthusiastically.
There are so many things wrong with this dude, I won't even say what Njoki Chege said about Kenyan men on Instagram. But that's none of my business. My issue with all this, is that if these are the pick up lines of today, I do not belong to this world anymore. I lived ages ago. So what happens to those beautiful girls who are not on Instagram? And that also means we men who are not in IG do not have pick up lines. Sad story.

Ladies, you know we love you, sorry I have to say this. When I say I like you I mean it, when I don't say, it does not mean I don't, so no need to push it because there is a probability I do not. (I have a feeling I should shut up) But one more thing, I enjoy beautiful company and good music. In beautiful there is blonde, they can go together, and they can also go individually.
Work hard for beautiful to have prominence. If I start a conversation with you, I do not want to hear your lame boyfriend stories, I just want a mature conversation, get rid of the blonde. A world can't just revolve around one person can it? We would have one two many worlds then. 

Why I was alone on Saturday.

As I write this, I'm still trying to get over the many movies I've watched this weekend, Monday here we come!
