I'd have to agree that it's abit extreme. Yeah, he's probably tired of seeing that side of the family, but c'mon, there has to be a way to meet in the midle. But I have to say, making your significant other seem insignificant for the past 8 yrs by practically living with your rela's can have 'side effects'. Hope they sort out those differences.
So, I've been trying to play catch-up with the blogs (not doing a good job of it-vicki, will reply soon), but I caught onto Nathan's interest in the Da Vinci Code. Loved the book, own a copy, can't wait for the movie to come out in May. Here's a link to the trailer for those that may be interested. Don't think Tom Hanks will disappoint on that one. And it's a good thing that Africa's being recognized for more than the usually, with the coming of Tsotsi although I think it's already out. Speaking of which, heard of Shooting Dogs? It's based on the Rwanda genocide. Guess after "Constant Gardener", they figured that atrocities are the way to go, ama? But I think it would be an eye-opener for many people, hopefully not another way to capitalize on the negativity of our homeland. Only time will tell.

Mercy and Eric
OK
I've never been this stressed out at work. Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Thanks to my title I have minions who need training. Apart from that alls well. I'm buying KENGEN putting all my money there too.Really saying that to irk soem people.
Hey thank God for kenyans like Dennis its good to have some of Kenya shine inside and outside of our borders.
Anyway my main point today, As I run to see a client this morning all stressed out coz our Engineers have a penchant for screwing me over, I heard an interesting story which I'd ike your opinons on.
So Mercy and Eric have been cohabitting for the last 8 years. ALl this time Mercy has habitually had rela's over to their house and visiting her folks every weekend. Now they recently got married. NEW RULES: Mercy is no longer allowed to have those relas of her in that house and she is also not allowed to go see her parents.
It seems Mark and I are the only people who percieve this move by Eric as hypocrisy. Ama the rules of engagement are supposed to flip on ring slipping?
Isn't dating all about impressing and courtship all about preparing yourselves for marriage. Should he have said something over the last 8 years. I think so.
Whats your take?

Tid bits
midweek brief..
Hosibitali
I am literally back from the dead this week. On the weekend i got the diagnosis that my right lung had collapsed, a medical case known as a pneumothorax. Totally spontanious, this thing is common in tall, lanky individuals such as yours truly. yeah , search me. I then was admitted to the emergency room, brutally invaded with a metal rod and tube in the chest, and spent sato and sunday high on morphine. Miraculously I am in no pain now, 2 days after i had a tube in my chest. ahh the wonders of morphine and health insurance. Bottomline the things that i felt i learnt in that short spell of pain was that:
- cliche, but really you cant afford to take every HOUR of your health for granted. On any given sunday, you could be using up that precious hour waiting that hour through in a ostpital bed amidsta sea of uncertainty and fear.
- Family, doting and obnoxiously nurturing as they can be, are meant to be just that i guess. Perhaps it would annoy me more if they showed any signs of nonchalance to my emergency.
- Insurance = ALWAYS WORTH IT.
Kengen
Left , right, center front, nyuma. The hype is best decribed my initial feeling of by this article i read in the nation . The raw speculative demand on this one is really just a turn off for this equity option. I think the better thing to do is spend more time analysing the market and picking up on the blue chips that many have been so quick to let go of in preperation for the almighty KG. then again, I could be the same guy a year form now in tears that i did not follow up on this offering..hmmm can i live with the regret? Can you?
Winter blues
Walking to work leo..it was relatively warm! Are we begining to experience the fringes of this beast of a season? I wouldnt place my moeny on it.but it cant hurt to hope...
Addicted
To the Daily show & the colbert report - their approaches to humor are similar yet so distant form one another, but equally satirical masterpieces. Charlie Rose on PBS is also great like reading a biography a day really. Some really interesting Americans out there. But really, none does it for tense drma like 24. Every eposide of this season has been lik watching an entire of the previous season. Kwani those writers/producers are on which kind drugs? i want some of that!!! Me and Chris are forming a Jack Baur fan club. We were thinking o starting by makign the shirts to signify our total idol worship of this man. ..but were not sure if we are the only ones in and over our heads...

Yaani
I've been away from home for only a few days and all this drama has occured. This is the reason I love Kenya. Never a dull moment.
My two pence,
Well Kibaki should in no way condone the current of lack of respect for due process.
The press should be disciplined but the tactics being used here are barbaric if you ask me and should recieve no support from any self respecting Kenyan.
Can't wait to land and get this first hand. Can we hook up soon kenyan peeps. I'm thinkig Next week. Maybe thursday or sunday. Is how si we salsa or somin?
XxX

GVT reputation -up in flames
Those wishing to see some video footage of the media crisis on the ground - BBC have a neat piece, with footage of Maina Kiai, Michuki, and civil protests outside the Nation.
The reporters have been released on bail.
As shiroh commented recently on thinkers Piece, I just hope we dont get complacent about this issue too soon- something has got to give.

Woe to the downpressor...
this and that...: Press Freedom: Letter to Kibaki:
"Dear President Kibaki,
On March 2, 2006 armed police raided the headquarters and printing plant of the East African Standard Group. In addition to destroying equipment including the printing presses and burning newspapers, they shut down the Kenyan Television Network television station.
This latest attack follows the jailing of three journalists from the East African Standard newspaper, attacks on the Citizen Weekly, and ongoing harassment of journalists by government-sponsored forces.
I urge you to:
1. Condemn these attacks in the strongest terms possible.
2. Dismiss any member of your government who played a role in the attacks.
3. Live up to your promise to support freedom of the press.
Please copy and paste a copy of this letter on your blog. You may alter the wording to suit your needs."

RE: freedom of the press
yes! am sure ur now know what transpired in our beloved country. And not one to walk away from controversy......here goes!
i may not agree with the method or fully support their actions, but I see where the "government" (because this is said not to be official action) was coming from. Talking from experience, I've witnessed first hand how the press has lost credibility and become mercenaries for hire. With a little nudging and a lot of money, you can get the press to sing your song. Let's face it, they are not being victimised because of highlighting corruption. Standard was inclining towards gutter-press standings. I think it was high time some action was taken, though not in the same way as we have witnessed. They should have promptly gone thru the KUJ, Media Owner's Association, and our so called Judicial process.
To other matters, Vicki u know we tight! Had a blast for the brief moments we shared. About the investment thing guys, I would like to remind you to remember some of us are just lowly students. The restaurant sound s like a plan, but I perceive it to be very intensive on time and money. I am discussing starting a company with my dad to go into stocks investment. It has in the pipeline as I was preparing a stock and investment portfolio. So i can get u guys some feedback on that.
PS: Wow to those who read the Da Vinci Code, I hear the movie is coming out soon. Does anyone know about the trailer?
