June 2012 DC DRUNK Cover Solicits In Three Sentences Or Less...
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

Reblogged from : Here are the “rules“. If you’d like to see the full DC June Cover Solicits head on over to CBR. Oh tonight, I welcome you oh Veuve! Tonight some internet douchebags think I don’t know what Feminism is, think the title “3 Chicks Review Comics” is offensive (WTF?! It’s just a descriptor?!) [...]

Milton Glaser’s Ten Things About Life
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

YOU CAN ONLY WORK FOR PEOPLE THAT YOU LIKE. This is a curious rule and it took me a long time to learn because in fact at the beginning of my practice I felt the opposite. Professionalism required that you didn’t particularly like the people that you worked for or at least maintained an arms [...]

Beans and Chilli
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

You know how beans give you gas? And then you keep on releasing small fumes that in the January heat can be ignited. That. Well, now while I was trying to keep the rats fed and the cockroaches a subject of scientifical interest, I found a way to avoid flatulence. Well, you may ask what [...]

Fallacies
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth. – Misattributed to Joseph Goebbels (See what I did there?) And that is the truth of the matter. People will believe anything as long as you keep on repeating it to them. Maybe I am tired of that and so I want to say it [...]

8 Out Of 10
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

I promised I won’t take long before I update this dusty piece of the Internet. But it hasn’t been long seeing that I have done it before the 2nd birthday of this here baby. We are now going through the teething phase of the baby’s phase and I hope it won’t bite too hand on [...]

Nairobi’s Streets
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

I feel safe when I walk through Nairobi. I feel very, very unsafe when humanity walks in Nairobi. I feel threatened when those meant to protect us walk through Nairobi with guns. I guess it started one evening as I was heading home from my university classes. The matatu driver decided to start overlapping. Then [...]

It’s Been A While……..
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

…………continue singing with me. “Why is everybody quiet?” “Because you started that Staind song with the wrong note.” “Whatever.” Anyway, it has been a while since I last updated this piece of Internet real estate. To be frank, I have been lazy, I got other prime pieces and I was trying to find myself. Not like [...]

Friday Post
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

Diss-continue: What I do when I keep on throwing barbs your way and you have no reply to them. It is Friday, Friday, Everyone is Gonna have a good time on Friday. (Shut up Rebecca Black). She is in my head and it is boring that people want to act like her on the one [...]

Unfoiling an N8
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

Curtain opens to reveal three distinguished gentlemen lads standing outside a departmental store adjoining a store with a 30% off sale on handbags. One of the lads is in a black jacket (E), the other in a blue jacket (M) and the third in a black shirt (C). It is dusky hence the rest of the [...]

Short Story Review
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

The beauty of a short story is that it needs to be consumed in just one sitting, at a pace that one is comfortable plus it is quite nourishing. It has been said (and rightly so by one of the writers whose works I am reviewing today will be reviewing later) that it is the [...]

No Apologies
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

I have neglected this blog of mine. But I will blame this one on where I earn my fish & bread. Long hours just as I had predicted plus I am yet to optimize this thing called WordPress for Android. Anyway, I am here & I hope that I will be able to keep some things [...]

Inspired
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

I loved mathematics. I nearly hated it because of my mathematics teacher. That was just after joining high school. First day of her class and we were classified as to whether one came from a public primary school or a private school AKA academies. For f*ck’s sake, I was a PPSP (Public Primary School Pupil). No [...]

Blogging Recipe: 10 Essential Ingredients
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

The fact that you have been tagged in a blogpost means that you have a duty to perform. Just like getting a chipo-funga and you just know that come what may, she has to shower in your bathroom and use your throne in the morning. Harsh realities of life, I say. Thus, here we go. [...]

February 2011
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

I am not the kind that writes posts that focus on a particular month. It is not just me unless that month was riddled by revolutions (think the North African January) or I got married via a shotgun wedding. So this comes as a bit of a surprise to myself and to you dear readers. [...]

Office Toothbrush
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

It is me writing this blogspot blogpost. Just so we clear the air, unlike the Malawians who want to clear the air even before Human Gas has destroyed it. Anyway, do not be surprised because I have never had a chance to do day-themed blogposts. It is just not my cup of tea. Speaking of [...]

End Month Process
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

If you work somewhere where the systems depend on monthly payments or other sorts of things that come in monthly, will tell you there is a monthly process. You run the systems at the end of the month and get a position (financial mostly) before proceeding on to the next one. The same thing happens [...]

Bobo’s
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

Nairobi is ever-changing in terms of the popular landmarks. Most of the people who are now Mututho anti-compliant (and have always been had the law come up earlier), only know pubs. You tell them you are on DuBois Road, you practically have to draw a map of Nairobi to show them where it is. I [...]

Common Sense Dictates…..
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

……that common sense is not so common. You can quote me on that. Do not take me to task over that statement for the simple fact that our teachers taught us that there were only 5 common senses. But we all know what we mean that common sense is not so common. For instance the [...]

Conversations (Part 1)
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

Of late nimekuwa na psyke ya kuandika kwa lugha ya mafans. Najua sheng yangu imekuwa inadi lakini watu wakuwe wapole kwanza. Story ya kuhama unaenda kuishi kwenye jiji ndio imefanya. Lakini pia inabidi tumechambua ile lugha tulikuwa tunaboronga tukiwa wapyenga. Kumekuwa na issues fulani zimekuwa zikihappen kwa hii country, both socially and politically. So nikaona [...]

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell
» ‎ The Trot and The Run

Blame it all on this man here who can be followed on his conversational Twitter or the one where he makes guys ROTFLMAO, LMAO, LOL, *DEAD* and such other stupid Internet talk. It has been adapted for use in this blog. My humor, if there is any of it left by now, suffers from geographical [...]
