So we ushered in 2008. am i excited?? no..not really, it happened the same way everything else happens..i was more excited when my dentist said i didnt have to see him for a month.
Do i have resolutions? NO, not really...more like deadlines and then once i meet those i will ask the legendary qn "Now what?"
This morning i went to the town to drop off the sister...i was low on fuel so i thought i should fuel up, yeah...that was a good idea......until it hit me that my friendly fuel station was sellin a litre at 3k. went over n they didnt have any..finally found one where the maximun was 20K for 3 litres. 20K for THREE litres!!! peeps! come on!!
While we were "excited" at the propect of a new year, our brothers in Kenya were fighting against a system declared democractic, fighting for what they belived in but unfortunately fighting along ethnic lines as well.
Why people cant see that my tribe doesnt make me a worse or better person, i will never understand. Hate me coz im ignorant-because im causing more harm than good..dont hate me coz of my tribe- i didnt choose it n neither did you. it just happened that way.
Im still tryin to decide how long the chaos will last. If they are anything like Ugandans, we shd see a return to "normal" pretty soon...if they aint..we will aaaaaaaaaaaaallll suffer. I finally understand, no can relate to, the whole disadvantage thing of being landlocked as taught in P.4 was it?

happy new year.
we'll soon start riding bicycles to work. that chaos in kenya might be like ours early last 2007. how many times did we stay away from work because the middle of town was full of tear gas? remember? like till May 2007 or something!
ah well, can't escape the prejudice along tribal lines. stupid but real.
what we need is for someone to tell us what happens when you become President...do you go mad? Is Kibaki doing this for real?
(apologies for the mini post)
words fail me but i hope normalcy makes a long awaited return soon!
indeed we are feeling the brunt of being a landlocked country. never really had issues with it except for not really having the white sand beaches... but we kind of got them here.
the tribal thing is a big issue in Kenya... supposedly like ten times of what we have here. and for us its mostly our parents/ the older generation that has issues with it. for them, everyone.
Sorry to spam, please join in prayer for Kenya. Cheers!
