Brians formula.

I have gone through a lot in the recent past, and sometimes I would question God. I mean not question his existance or powers for that has never been in doubt, because I have witnessed other people experience miracles or as I would put it, happenings that can not be explained away. So my belief in God was always there, why God would put me in a six year downward spiral is what was bugging me. Everytime I went to church and the preacher said, there is a reason for everything I would just scoff at the idea because for all intent and purposes I did not see why there was so much instability in my family, academics,finances and relationships. I still do not get it very well but I began to see some positive.

My past failures and tribulations have made me even more focussed on who I want to be, my goals are much clearer now and I know for sure that I have what it takes to make it. I have handled situations I never thought I would be able to get through if you had asked me prior to the tribulations. I am more mature and have got better understanding for people who luck and heightened sense of empathy. In all this Brian is a more realistic human being and I am willing to accept it when things do not go my way and learnt to just let go and give up the need to be in control of every facet of mylife. Now I just enjoy the little things and as I make my way to the grander things I remember to pose and enjoy the journey. Laugh some more, play some more and for christs sake go out some more and work a little less visit family and try to watch a movie without skipping some scenes. I will listen to other peoples opinion because I too can be wrong.Most importantly everyone has something to offer and in Gods eyes we are all equal. I am sure that God loves me despite all the sins I have commited and has equipped me with the tools that I need to live a meaningful life.

Time/youth.
Health
Brains and wisdom
Patience
Vision
Integrity
Peace of mind
Good and bad past experiences
Amazing family and friends
Ability to feel other peoples emotions (Both joy and suffering)
To love and feel loved
Tones of luck, the one thing I would ask for three times it I was given three wishes.

The world certainly does not revolve around me and life goes on whether I am happy or not. I have therefore decided to make the source of my happiness the happiness I can bring in other peoples lives. I choose to forgive all who have wronged me and make it my mission to seek forgiveness from all those I have wronged.So if you have ever been in my life or will come into my life know that I am of peace and your happiness is my primary concern. If you have read this blog I besiech you to do the same. It could be a little bit tough for we are living in a cruel world but you could resolve that you will limit your actions that make others sad. Throwing that piece of gum on the streets instead of the litter bin will definitly make somebody else sad, either the pedestrian who will step on it or the council lady who has to sweep that street every morning. She does not have to deal with your litter the dust and tree leaves are already enough. Remember it is the small things that count.

I think they want me Dead, like Tupac Dead.

Maina Jenga call me the Prince.
Sunday:
It is election year again, and I know I am top shilling now. No wait; I mean top dollar now. Suck them as much as I can cause after the results are out; poof goes the lime light. Now how do I make myself relevant? I gotta catch their attention somehow. Druts! I can not think of anything smart enough. Oh well then I may as well go on doing my bishop thing I am sure something will come up.

Got my Sermon ready just call the driver and off to church we go. Got youth to preach to this morning. Good thing there isn't that much traffic today. Got to church in time and the boys are very jolly today that is good. This is definately a good sign, thank you Lord. I will join in Praise as I mentally go through my sermon. Trick is tokeep their attention on you at all times. Yeah that is it.

Okay praise is over time to hit the Mic, it is rock and roll baby the prince is in his Zone. Before I start let me scour the church for all of my close lieutenants and any sign of new comers. Lieutenants check, new guys uhhh none, okay no one. . . . ah wait. There is a new face right at the back close to the entrance. Let me call him forward.  "Naona tuna mgeni leo, hebu tumukari . . .", say what? Did I hear someone shout cop. Lord my past is haunting me making me here thi. . . Oh damn! He really is a cop and some of the boys recognise him. This aint going to end well. Crap they are comig down on him, now that is how you beat a police man. As much as I hate them I am sure this will get to the media and it will not stand well with the new image I am trying to project of myself. Dear me! there are others, something does not add up here. Let them get beat up just a little bit more, somebody ought to show them not to bring guns to my church. I saw some guys take their guns, crazy lot I lead here. Oh well they had it coming.

Monday:
Haw! Drama galore in church Yesterday. I liked it. Problem is that the cops are all over my back now. Let me call Muite I will need a good Lawyer now. I bet those cops at the church were up to no good. Maybe the big guy wants me dead, maybe not. I am sure Muite will find some way of spinning this whole saga to my advantage, told you something will come up. Now let me head to Kasarani police station make sure it goes on for long. I here the cops want me on some lame robbery with violence charge. Wow they sure did choose this one well; someone is planning to put me away for long. How sorry I am for them cause that will never happen, I did not do anything wrong. This must be because of that Limuru B 2 saga.
I see they have painted this place this days, not bad. Huh some of my followers milling around the station. That is reassuaring. Look at the welcoming party more officers, the media and my old buddy a good day getting better. Thank God my lawyer is here. Let us go direct to the OCS's office and record my statement behind closed doors, these media people can not be trusted not to report out of context. This guy has such a nice office even by top cop standards. That is none of my business anyway let me just sit here silently and let Muite do the talking.
This feels all too familiar.

Jesus! I have just been snowballed. What in hell just happened here? They are arresting us? Why I am not surprised, sure this comes from higher and definately someone wants me out of the picture this time round. Thank God for the media prescense here. Things could be much worse. I know robbery with violence will never stick they just have to find another excuse. I wonder where they are taking us now. Gosh I hope Muite is on top of this thing, he is a damn good lawyer and an even better rights activist. wherever they are taking me I hope I make bail. Aluta continua!

Hunter gets haunted.


European Envoy in Kenya.

I have never felt this inadequate since I lost my civil service job back home Those stupid lawmakers should never have limited the number of years a permanent secretary can stay on in the job. Now look what has happened to me. I have been sent to bloody Africa. Oh well it is better than nothing, thank God for friends in high places. Let me while my time here as I strategise my comeback to our motherland good old Europe.
This place really is not as bad as I expected it to be, for starters, I can with this; oh the sun. Just lovely. The house too is nice, better than that shell I have left in a freezer of a city. This is definitely good or at least not that bad. Now let me find out where the nearest golf course is, so I can find something to spend my country men's tax money on. First let me head for the consulate and and get to meet the folks there. I may as well do it sooner rather than later cause I do not know the first thing about diplomacy, the modalities or all that crappy protocol. I just hope there is nothing overly complex in it. I know it should not be too hard to learn the ropes around here. If that fool Whitebird was here for four years then I too can definitely make it.
This place is swell I just love the office, I wonder where one could get this kind of space in Europe. I wonder! Well this is it chap you are set for the next four years, plus you get to lord yourself over the local government just for kicks. Hahaha! Let me see what this is my secretary has just brought on my desk. Oh my diary. Okay. Whats for today? Things just keep on getting better here, scheduled for a visit to state house on the first day. Sure Whitebird was having his way around here he got a meeting though it was clear those were his last days in Kenya. Let me see what is in the agenda maybe I can get to push the president around a little bit. Uhmmm! Democracy, media freedom, gay rights, judicial reforms, agenda four, inform the president that our government will cut funding for the Sabaki water project cause of perceived malpractice, ICC, Somalia. Aahh finally something exciting is on this damn list.
My I hate that traffic, plus I have never seen so many people packed in a public service vehicle like in this country. They really should consider using buses instead, I doubt they can afford to build subways. Oh well good thing we are finally here. My oh my this place is so grand for a county with such a small GDP ppp. Not that I care it is up to them to manage their affairs how they please I am just here to represent my government petty issues as I make a pay cheque for myself. Oh bloody me, this is a first! They actually want as to wait. What could be keeping an African president so busy that a whole ambassador representing a country as great as hours has to be kept waiting? Oh well I might as well head for the lounge, I do not have much else to do today then we will head to that golf course my assistant showed me on our way here. Wow would you believe this, A queue at the lounge is this a shrinks waiting room or something. Maybe I am getting punked in statehouse itself. No this definitely is not a prank, there is my buddy from France. We were together at the Davos conference two years ago. I will wave at him. Oh it just hit me all these people are ambassadors. Okay let me see England,Belgium even the American guy is here what a coincidence.
My new friends are just awesome.
Holy cow! It is almost an hour and we are still seated here while I saw that Sudanese chap go straight through right after the Iranian high commissioner. Let me just hold my horses and wait a little longer. What now I thought Pitsburger from America would be next, that Chinese twirp just went straight through who the hell allows access to the president around here? I bet they are going to discuss how to build roads in the air,cities from scratch and more cheap loans. We are playing second fiddle here. I am beginning to feel that his Excellency does not really want to see us. The smirk on the Belgians face is an attests that he has been here long enough. Wow this are heady days, my country has lost its standing with this old mans government. To hell with this I am leaving.
