Wanjohi wa Kigogoine: How Miraa Made My Tree Refuse: only to find wanjohi smoothened it long time.

ACCUMULATED THOUGHTS

As the paranoia sets (dont ask why) let me document this as accumulated thoughts because for sure the last 2 or 3 months i have really accumulated enough that i’ll beat to you just  small small, this more less too as life teachings released earlier. In numbering I begin.

1.       There’s always  a spiritual attachment to most of the things mankind do, specifically sex.  
2. If you go looking for trouble you’ll definitely gerit but there’s always reason to look for it
3.   Our actions do not necessarily get understood  by everyone , most times they are misunderstood so its gonna be “Live with it!”
4. So in part, whatever possible be yourself and don’t do theings with intentions to please the masses but for the passsion and Almighty given capability never attention seeking, to prove a point, irritate others or any ingenuine reason. 
5.   When its not we undergoing a certain ordeal or situation we can never claim to feel the pinch exactly same as the other experiencing person, its more of  pretense.
6. Never wait for anybody to save your life , everyone has his or her’s to worry about , own niche to build so before caring about your situations of problems (on very minimal accounts)its after accomplishing his own  or about to “use you” so don’t be frustrated (its just life) look unto the almighty only 
7. In life “pretenders are worse than murderers!”, they’re backstabbers cum close friends,spouses, never tell  as it is, smile  at you on the outside frown on the inside so in politics I’d also say we never tell the motives clearly till they are given jobs so I can say unto the youths , vote for your  fellow youths and give them jobs and go open doors for the rest but basically not expect too much you gave them jobs and its time to “make up for lost times” for ‘thy own first.’ 
8.    Life has been amazing so far so good even the challenges become interesting  and joyous to overcome. Ever known there’s no phrase like ‘good old days’ its good new days  if at all. Think of it, is it that there were no similar challenges more so economic, for instance? But its how then you dealt with or adapted. 
9. In this life we all have the capacity to makr it big , it’s the magic , skill , almighty’s intercession that we are able to pull of to make it so.
10. In this life contention and fulfilllment come in many ways and not only monetary, ‘Runda living’ you can name your own. 
11. Ignorange is quite expensive in literal terms, “asking is good not stupidity” still.
12. sure there’s need to demistify marriage as a not so harsh embondage thing but its fun to be in and this more to men if only you married your best friends., isipokuwa tu ni mavuvuzela za matyme’ it is fun.
13. bad news wil forever be hard to receive…
14. In life you attract those that reflect you so if you a gossiper you always come across gossipers, drunkard, pot head name them,you’ll wonder why everyone you  associate with is so
15. Shortcuts become longcuts in the longrun!
16.    Nature has its own way of teaching you respect both for the almighty and other creations(including fellow humans environment and animals), honesty, courtesy and honour if previously lacking, Baraza is a witness. Woe unto you who get taught through a ‘baptism of fire’ so that you look unto him for intervention. Many I’ve seen trully seek the almighty in all religious manners they can think of be it moving from church to church just to seek that intervention and understanding 'why them'. But its all natural almighty way of equity and bringing people back to humility, thankfulness for whatever they got.
    
    

In my life I have been one lucky or do I say blessed?(credit to my almighty) thus latter , for he has hustled it all out for me , gives the desires of my heart made things go my way and forever grateful

LIFE TEACHINGS

·         In this life trust the almighty alone who’s the giver of destiny and no man at all. Put thee first in whatever you do or contemplate , he (if at all can be called as so)has fought the battles for you only wants you to reach out onto him and ask and this not by being all religious seeking him in a church but at the comfort of your spirit because its all spiritual and private. Whenever I got no food to eat, clothes, shelter for my family I call unto him and he gets me halfway ( I say this for he will either give my people the contention in whatever is available in relation to the situation or direct me to the God sent person, but the step’s gonna come from within thyself even if it’s the leap of faith)He fulfills the desires of my heart in whatever way

·         Dream big and wake up towards your focus and everything shall fall in place in a few years time I want to be very far.

·         A ‘right man’ and family is very important and that’s why Almighty gave you one irregardless whether biological or adopted i.e those that have been there for you no matter what, treasure them even though they hurt you learn to forgive them for there’s no man without inequities. In other instances when ‘push comes to shove’ learn to move on , even if its them hindering your goals. There’s no small shenanigans worth your time if obstacle towards your focus.

·         Try not focus on lost times , regrets, money lost but on the future which is so bright that it blinds my eyes.

·         Life is not a science its an art all we need is the artistic tools to manouvre around.

·         Whatever you set your mind to do you accomplish it.

·         In life you could fail being very wise and its all about the company you keep, have good and wise role models but be intelligent always. People are a resource

·         ‘When your star comes shining no one!! Shall block its rays’

·         Almighty allow the people I love and haters to live long enough to see my success and enjoy it . it could be in a way of giving back to society what it has given unto me.

·         Big up to all intellectuals of the world, they have made me one too and the only challenge with these people is they’ll want to use it with shortcuts towards success which at times becomes criminal i.e hacking into systems, mpesa thuggery.

·         The visionaries not politicians in our great country Kenya shall propel it to greater heights to the benefit of generations.

·         Life is about adapting to what it throws at you at times its not predetermined but an unpreventable occurrence like death of a guardian,and life for those left behind has to go on for they are the affected lot and coping is the only way, ref the old cliche ‘God does not give that you can’t handle’ 

   ·    Life’s not all about `living in the havens considered by many as the affluents’ background but by making your almighty given niche a havenly comfortable for you and its up to you to transform it to your liking and comfortability

THE NEW SCHOOL

I remember in high school i had the desire or urge to join, to be considered part of,  belong or conform to the sophisticated looking, vybing , just to feel the other side of life I didn’t belong to then, ( the more vital in adolescent stage and generally the human nature)  and I’d fake it  but coming to grow up i know better. As I may ‘pull a Miguna’, am no longer looking for acceptance in society. I now know that every human body has its own niche in this world that your creator designed right when he put you in your dad’s balls.

In today I see a lot happening in the same manner like getting crazy over some lyrical prowess, beats, hype I hear they call it riddims in the new school and you gotta be the coolest to hack in every single of them. We all get ‘used’ to that (if it’s the correct term to use) at some point  when priorities change but its no biggie atleast I will not pretend to my daug that I was not part of it like most of our folks do. It’s a stage/ phase/ season.

Its no longer, “I was always first in class affair!” that our folks memorized and perfected. I guess that’s why we getting into conflict with the older folks that brought us up as they see changes in every corner they look and just wish status quo could be maintained. Like what the old lady told me the other day as she had a momento of spending the festivities with her namie, “You had really 'naughtified' this daug of yours!” coming to look at it  I couldn’t pinpoint how I do that may be for the fact that, Computer, P.S, TV’s their growing up companion and we (the PM and i) don't mind it as it is watched sitted on the table , screen so next to her face that it hurts to think of spoiling her eyesight, but now the stages are increasing that that is in the meantime forgotten now its carrying teddy bears (totos).

Maybe we abit carefree in living our times in the name of ‘new school’.  But why the youth we want to capitalize on rebellion that our adolescent self created, maybe for the fact  the society’s giving us too much pressure to better ourselves and we give excuses like, no opportunities, we jobless, we not rising in our careers, pay cheque is minimal … bla bla…. We now want to revolt over everything be it political, socioeconomic environments……. (yenyewe mabuda wametukalia for long, compromising with small money, reprimanding us to act their way in instances, that’s why I feel the likes of ‘Sonko’ in their strategy in politics and we need such youths in this political year )

Pace is of the essence though to achieve whatever legally and in the Almighty's designed way , and whatever those old folks have to say maybe its from a point of information and we should atleast carry the positives in living our times . For now I know better, “things happen for a reason and for a season”. Soon we shall be the ones regarded as the old school.

AM BACK

Sorry for disappearing just had a lot to chew or let me cut the chase and say my hard disk problems are solved.  I had really blamed it on the hd but realized it was a simple case of extracting one of the faulty RAMs (to those comp gurus can understand), but enough of the excuses, surely there was another alternative. All out and sundry I guess the almighty too wanted me to have quality time with my fast growing 2yr old daug who’s at observation stage and God knows how much I get carried away on the social media and Cheupe  articles (massive hard-ons)  forgeting her need of attention. Yah am still the stay at home.

 Okay much has changed and you'll realise on the content change as I promise not to vamoose again (conscience) .Its good i write these things if at all not verbally though in the meantime I have been carrying out live shows with close parties willing to hear my vents/ realz

.

I was to tell you of a vibe I had but its not coming through at the moment but anyway that’s why I like documenting matters arising lest they are forgotten majorly for my own consumption in future but good readership too is superb side effect. By now if I had become a guy to listen to like regularly, I admit you are a real fan and cheers to you!! have a  skank on me! To the loyal fans of wakathango daily I have to apologize sincerely for going all AWOL on you.

Sound travels faster than smell right or viceversa?? I smell something in this day and age, its man for himself and others later if at all. One thing I have taken years to learn is that gaining and loosing friends is all part of this life (call it part of the ‘life teachings’ am going to release soon-watch this space) In this world as you came alone thou shall be so live your lifestyle before joining your spiritual world and let no one dictate it unto you the best way how not unless you 're not yet “independent” by this I mean financially,, morally, spiritually, religiously and all other adjectives.

At times we limit this to ourselves just to protect the people that we care about most, though they could be the first of the entire society to charge, “wewe na hiyo maringo yako umefika wapi?”. So the independence am also talking about is of backing up your own life to avoid such querries.

One other thing, to compare your life with another’s, will just give you needless pressure, use your own pace!!Independence comes in too, so as to move at one’s pace, when relying on another human for specific basics then it’s a “work hazard” kind of scenario.

Happy new year to you.
