Hey people,
I figured I’d slowly creep back to blogging…my valentines day is pretty much about going to work, working late, trying to recoup the money I spent in Kenya over Christmas.
People say that February 14th is a mediocre day because you ideally should express love everyday. I think Valentines day is a beautiful day because our lives are very mundane….and love can sometimes be mundane and ordinary. Valentines day gives us that extra boost and a gentle reminder of our past relationships, partners that we wish we still had…and if one is single on valentines day, they do alot of soul searching…it’s just an emotional day and for us men who try very much to shield our real feelings, I personally like the emotion associated with valentines day.
I wish you all a happy valentines day…and I hope the songs below put you in the mood..
Men of Vizion – Break Me Off Personal favourite***
Gerald Levert – Made to love you
Blackstreet – Deep ..raunchy track
Kenny Lattimore – Never too busy
Ashanti – Don’t let them (I know this song deviates from the valentines day theme but I’m crazy about this song)
…and to break the mood….click here…
Honestly I’m being very sceptical here. I know guys tend to have a thick and inpenetratable skin when it comes to issues to do with love, emotions…expressing their feelings. These days I think relationships to a greater extent are geared towards convenience and there isn’t much emphasis on the old fashioned way of courtship. These days it’s all about “what can he/she do for me?”
Probably most Kenyans in the UK are looking forward to "chafuaring" on the first weekend of June. There will be rugby at Twickenham on the 3rd and 4th, Kenya 7s team will be playing so there will definately be a large turnout to support our home team. I'm trying to think outside the box here. Two Calif greats will be performing at different venues in London. The Twilight gig looks to offer more because it has 2 artists and one whose not performed in the UK before.
I was browsing one of the many sites that I usually do with a quest for information and I came across two sites that gave me insight to a musician that we Kenyans in Europe have not really heard about or have been kept in the dark. He calls himself Shu and he is a Kenyan-born Harvard grad who traded academia for his love of music. Dj Edu of BBC 1xtra played a song by Shu on his last week show (DNA) and this guy seems to be doing pretty well for himself. He has released an album, has a few singles that are really doing well and…I guess I can't say too much. Take a leap of faith here:
