BLUE PILLS OR BLUE BALLS? EP 1

 My name is Chris, a high-value man — according to my girlfriend. I genuinely love women from the bottom of my heart, and I spend most of my waking days trying to make the world a better place for them.

The one thing I hate the most is the manosphere; all these losers misleading men and brainwashing them to love their women less. I am glad that I’m not that gullible. The second thing I hate is the gym, I don’t have enough reasons for hating it but I just do.

Last month, I bagged a baddie — after taking her on thirteen dates over a span of four months. Linda is her name. She had just broken up with her boyfriend of one month, don’t do the math it’s none of your business. I am a thoughtful man, women dig that by the way; so I bedded her immediately.

I abysmally love this woman and I want her to be mine forever. Well, we all have our negatives, no human is without flaws. For my Linda, she’s perfectly imperfect. My friend of five years, Tony, told me the other Saturday that he saw Linda at a club on Friday with two guys. When I asked Linda, she told me she spent the night at a friend’s, so I was in the easiest dilemma of my whole life: to believe Linda or Tony? Of course, I believed my girlfriend.
Tony and our other friends ‘talked’ to me over drinks,

“Chris, are you blind or something?” This was Jonte.

“Yeah, in love!” A bunch of single boys can’t tell me nothing.

“She’s clearly not that into you!” Tony on a rampage.

“And how, pray tell, did you come into that information, Tony?” I said with a sarcastic laugh. If there’s one thing I’m good at it is brushing off jealous and envious people.

“I told you that she was twerking at the club.”

“Which club?”

“Quiver Kilimani.” He said, pouring us another round of shots.

“That is a lie right there! Linda hata hajui Kilimani ni wapi mzee. By the way, Tony, why are you this jealous of my relationship, man?” It was time to pull another card. This should do it.

“Come on, Chris, I’m just looking out bana. Ama nikiona anything fishy ninyamaze?” Gotcha!

“You know ball.” I said, stretching my hand to him, we made a fist bump, and that was it.

I work so hard for my relationships, and nobody, absolutely nobody has the right to poke their noses into them. My girlfriend comes first, then me, then Arsenal, in that order. If I am to die for her, I’ll do so in a heartbeat. As long as I do my chores, Linda will be mine forever; that is what she said, straight from the horse’s mouth.

I contemplated and chewed on our conversation with my friends, and I have to admit, Tony made some valid points, even if he might be jealous. That Friday that he was referring to, Linda and I had plans but she cancelled them last minute. She didn’t pick my calls thereafter, and she only came back on Saturday around 8am. Tony told me at around 4pm that day that he had seen her the previous night. Two guys? Linda doesn’t even like sex that much, why would she cheat on me with two guys?

Am I pathetic? Why didn’t she flinch when I asked her? She has never liked Tony, that’s for sure, but she loves me, right? I was in deep thought, replaying multiple scenarios over in my head, and anger overcame me. Am I being an overthinking boyfriend? Is it too hard to just trust my girlfriend? Oh God!

I was catapulted back to the land of the living by Linda’s warm embrace. It was 10pm, and she was carrying food. Fish and chips, that was my girl. She dropped the food at the table and removed her jacket, and jumped on me. She loves hugging me. God! That scent! She smelled like Hellen of Troy herself, whatever she smelled like. It was moments like these that I bless the universe and glorify my existence because damn, this is the life.

“Babe? I need to ask you something.” I started.

“Hmm?” Linda said, devouring my tongue like an over-starved bulldog.

She nibbled on my ears while caressing my chest and I realized that tomorrow is just as good as any other day to deal with that madness.

“Hmm?” She repeated.

“Not…hing, love. Go on.”

The Rhetoric of Politics

 Let's attempt to dissect some politics, shall we? I am one of those people who pride themselves on 'not engaging in politics.' Some say that to appear sophisticated, out of the ordinary, because 'politics is a game enjoyed by retards.' I am not one of those. I just don't see the appeal. But. Hailing from a country like Kenya, politics is shoved down your throat, and you either swallow it in all its ugliness or puke it. Let's pretend to swallow it for a moment. Plato, the man who summoned philosophy and beauty from Mt. Olympus and poetry from down below, used them to make a concoction that has been keeping us intellectually drunk for more than two millennia, had a lot to say about politics. And he did all that, to borrow from Will Durant's phrase, in lordly abandon.  First off, he claims that in order to understand politics, we have to be acquainted with the nature of men, for it is the people who are the key pieces in the chess that is politics.  If we ...

Tell Me about Yourself

 Tell me about yourself. Well, my good friend, I have never really known how to answer that query—though I have used it on many occasions myself in trying to get a damsel to be softer towards me. Never really worked though. Now that I am on the receiving end of that statement, I feel like I’m in front of a panel of interviewers, and I don’t know where to start. It is always my intention, when I coin that phrase to a damsel, to leave it as open as possible so that the other person is free to talk about any aspect of themselves that they like—because there are some parts of ourselves that we would prefer remain buried and unknown. I’ll take it that way in this case as well: just blabber on and on about everything about myself that you might like to hear. Let’s start then, shall we? I am a man. A young man, though I’m not sure how long I can use that label. Minutes to me feel like days, staggering by slowly, and years go by like hours. Yes, that is a line from Skyscraper Stan’s so...

Why We Help Others

 Here we are again, dissecting an issue that's the core of most religions as we know them. Why do we help others? Should we? Do we have to?  What happens if we can help them but decide not to? The shortest answer, according to religion, is that God will punish us if we don't. But that's taking the easy way out; human nature is not that simple. Let's start by defining some terms. Morality. Plato says it is 'the effective harmony of the whole.'  Jesus said it is 'showing kindness to the weak.' Nietzsche says it is 'the bravery of the strong.' Elusive, I know. According to The Cambridge Dictionary, it is 'a set of personal or social standards for good or bad behavior and character.' Let's roll with that for now. A set of standards, personal or social, for good or bad behavior and character. By saying social or personal, that doesn't give our definition the exclusivity that we need, because there are things I would consider to be mora...
