McDonalds...McVampire...What?

Ok.. I know guys are really anti McDonald's these days, but this is absurd!!! I personally understand the negative sentiment against McDonalds. However, I do not agree with it totally. McDonald's has been instrumental in teaching the world about entrepreneurship and franchise marketting. I'm a big fan of Ray Kroc (the man who started it all!)... So enamoured was I that I posted a review of his autobiography here . It's a truly inspiring story with crucial lessons for all of us who are venturing into our own enterprise. In summary.. McDonald's R00lz!!!

Dating Patterns.... what?

This is just absolutely funny. I guess it will make more sense to those of us who study technology architecture.... Still, it will provide a laugh all around. Without further ado, here's the link . What cracked me up is the dating patterns relationship diagram :

Sex in the Graveyard

Where's the best place to have sex? either from imagination, experience or just critical thought - in the bedroom with the curtains drawn door locked lights off inside the covers clothed everywhere except the gonads, or when riding roller coaster, in the grave yard at night using the tombstone as the bed post and using UV light in that darkness (you know!! achi achi!) or in the streets at night in a phone booth in say Kenyatta Avenue...

Two Words!

If you were asked to describe yourself using 2 words, which 2 words would you use? After musing about it for 10, 30, 60..mins, the exercise asked that you take 10mins, the 2 words I came up with were 'Independent' and 'Carefree'. Carefree, Ambitious, Cold, Seductive..the 2nd word kept changing..can't be sure ..but 'Independent' for sure! I flirtered with putting down my own 2 words, that describe each of you - as you appear to me, then I rethought, nah! What about it guys, which 2 words?

Movie Review : The Notebook

This has to be the best movie this year. This is a movie so loaded with emotion that tears still cloud my eyes as I write this. The story is about a couple, Noah and Allison, who, as teenagers, discover first love. Their love for each other is breathtaking and it spans the entire breadth, depth and height of their lives. The story is so well told that I wouldn't attempt to ruin the movie by giving my interpretation of it here. This movie is about true love . A love that fills one so completely as to give life new meaning, purpose and fulfillment. This movie will inspire those who have become jaded with love. In a world where heartbreak is the norm and our lives are dominated by a perpetual emptiness punctuated by short meaningless trists with people we hope are our soul mates. In such a world, it's hard to believe that anyone can find true love. It's hard to imagine that we can actually marry someone who we never tire of. Seeing someone every morning three hundr

That's just wrong!

Something I heard on radio...2 lesbian women wanted a child and got a sperm donor (a man of course!) so that they could have the child they wanted. Several months later, they are suing him for child support! Whatever their reasons, that's just wrong.

Ah! Humour

Recently I've gone out quite abit and meet new people, mostly guys and come to the conclusion that humour is a really attractive trait. Out of all the guys I've met lately the ones that stand out are the ones that had a wicked sense of humour! The ice was broken very fast, and the evening continued without any akward gaps of silence, polite conversation, so what do you do? (I truly hate that question!) time flew and before I knew it, it was 4am in the morning and at the end of the evening I felt like I'd known them forever. To confirm that it wasn't just by chance I had the pleasure of meeting the same guys again and the same thing happened. I couldnt' stop laughing, and you all know when you get me started it's like a river that has burst it's banks, I can go on and on like a duracell battery..and time flew and before I knew it, it was 4am in the morning. It's not enough that you have the right ambiance, the right music, good food, drinks flowing..for m

Maasai Market

Today I decided to stroll to dusty Maasai market and pick a thing or two. As usual I was met with an assortment of bright coloured clothes and beaded leather. I must commend them for the sculptures, they have lovely wood sculptures and carvings! The clothes on the other hand... are for an occasion. An African night. Nothing more. For example: There are these belts with beads that start falling out before you even give the seller money! You can see the centipede lipped boy is as hungry as hell and you want to give him loaf, but you guy... the thing is just too tired. the inside part of the belt is rough with strings that seems to have been purposely made to peel the skin off your hips! if you intend to wear the belt in the nude. I was about to do my usual stress test of garments - trying to pull it apart with as much force as I can- but clearly they would not have held. So I mean it is great that people are making money, actuall a living! off these things... But what happened to the qua
