Two dozen and then some years ago, on this day, unto us a child was born.

Yes sir, I am celebrating yet another year on God’s green earth.
Age
It occurs to me that finally age has caught up with me and i am no longer part of the youth (but then again next to Mwai Kibaki, Njenga Karume and the other fossils around here, Methuselah himself would be considered a small boy). Certain revelations have triggered this epiphany
- I know at least 3 Khans – Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, Chaka Khan. The only one my younger brothers know is Aga Khan
- I know the original Nero had nothing to do with CDs. As a matter of fact, he’s the one who brought a whole new dimension to this burning ROMe thing
- I can tell within the first few notes of popular songs which ones have been remade and what was sampled and who did it
- I turned the air around me blue for miles with rich vocabulary when NTV replaced TCM movies at night with MTV Base. It is my considered opinion that this was a colossal step back I’m still smarting about it.
- I wear jeans that actually fit me
- I wear them in such a fashion that you cannot tell what colour of inner thingies I’m wearing — which is to say I pull them on completely.
- Basketball tops leave me unmoved and unimpressed
- Grown men with jewels oozing from every pore are a source of riotous amusement to me
- Given a choice between gold and silver — silver all the way
