The Big 3 double 00!

No for you shortsighted gits I have not turned thirty!Those were two zeroes after the 3!Yes I am on my 3 hundreth post!It's a wonder I have written so much and for so long!When at some point I actually contemplated throwing in the towel.But if I had I wouldnt have got to know some of you great KBW folk!
Question is what to write for you 300th post?Since words and staying on one topic are somewhat of a collosal challenge for me I am going to prattle around as usual.So let's go down some bunny trails.

Bunny trail #1

It is amazing that my 300th post coincides with the return of my apathetic persona heavily tinged with cynicism.Yes now I have a reason to scowl at people everday!This whole thing of smiling was hurting my face and cramping my style.I am now a firm believer in the self serving depraved nature of humanity as evidenced by our leaders in Kenya,people I have known and life in general.When it comes to people I have gone back to my "0 expectations, 0 disappointments policy' you can't be disappointed in someone when you dont expect anything from them.So when someone does something nice I am pleasantly suprised because very few people in the world today do anything out of a general sense of altruism.When someone helps you more often then not it is because it helps them ie assuage their conscience,build brownie points in heaven, look racially sensitive etc.But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't enjoy it when it comes to you.And no I am not depressed at all!I am fine, I have just realised that it doesn't pay to invest emotionally in many things.

Bunny trail #2

I want to bitch slap one of my Profs!She is one of those ones fresh from Phd school,starry eyed and wants to help us chart new trails in acedemia by overloading our minds like a government mule during the gold rush in California.Her course is a higher level undergrad but she has us reading 5 books!Firstlly all my other grad courses have 2 textbooks at most so this woman is burning a hole in my pocket!Then she has us doing this group work crap!I hate groups they are a waste of time!Then since it is a social science class she is always harping on about statistics,I told her that they are lies lies and damn statistics!Also she talks to us like we are her fellow phds and if Aco has problems understanding you at times rest assured that the rest of the class is in limbo.In fact attendance has really gone down because we know how most American students are against hard work.We had a discussion in her office about some race issues and why some immigrants and races have done better and some havent, so I gave my take on culture and it's affects on how people intergrate into a socio-economic setting and she tells me that I am over-simplofying things.Well I use simple because simple works!Complicated viewes lead to complicated solutions which dont work and are just turned into reports that sit on people's desks otherwise we would not be having any poverty or problems in Africa; most of the useful solutions in Africa to problems have been seemingly simple home grown solutions.The she tells me that I have a strong positivist bent, meaning that I believe that there is one solution and that we must all seek it, not really I believe that truth is relative and that yes you must seek it or live in ignorance .I asked her when she started teaching and she said this sem, so I told her that it explains all her passion; I added that it would pass after a few semesters; she told me that that statement was condescending (and to think that I forgot to add the sarcasm). To make things more interesting the book that I chose to critique and present is one that most doesn't not go well with her beliefs ; it concerns affirmative action in education and how it has served its' time and must go among other issues.I agree with alot of what the author says and she doesn't as she told me when we talked outside class one day; so what I am doing at the moment is gathering as much research and related material to support the book since I can't bitch slap her physically I might as well do so intellectually.I will most definitely let ya'll know how it goes!

Bunny trail #3

I was reading some KBW member's blog and she was that cells should be prepared for those Ministers and M.Ps who have stolen billions from tax payers.BULL SH*T!It is obvious that if they ever get to jail key word being ever, is that they will bribe to ensure that they live in the lap of luxury ala Pattni in Kamiti.Their crime instead should be made a capital offense punishable by beheading.Russia is locking up the oligarchs who have been plundering the nations resources, yes I know there is also some political background to this but if the people profit then why not?The odds of this happening in Kenya at the moment are slim but a man can dream can't he?

Bunny trail #4

I don't remember where I picked this quote from but it made my day:
I have no problem with Christ, it's christians I can't stand! - Anonymus
Here is another classic quote from the Aco files:
Kenyan pal: Siku moja lazima nipate kiti huko nyumbani!One day I have to stand for election back home
Aco: Ward gani?What city council ward?
If you can't understand the underlying joke then please come spend time with me so I can make fun of you all day without you knowing!

Bunny trail #5

I may have commented on this before but I was talking about to some chic the other day and she was making the usual comment "there are no more outstanding men." Since now I am Acolyte V2.0 I did not give here the usual apologist comment "There are still good men!"
What I asked her is that what is so unique about her that she deserves a Prince charming as oppossed to an everyday dude?She had earlier laid out a long list of the romantic gestures her man to be was suppossed to do daily,the things that he was suppossed to buy her and how he should look and dress.I in turn asked her what she was going to do in return, was she the kind of girl whose character would make a man want to do such things, what was the stunning difference between her and the girl sitting at the next table.I am sick and tired of people both men and women asking for something spectacular but are not ready to put in the work that is required.I can't bring grade C game to the table and expect to get a grade A Queen?If you want something good you gotta put in the work!!!

Needless to say these 300 posts have been fun and hopefully 300 more are coming!
