Two dozen and then some years ago, on this day, unto us a child was born.
(M)e :)
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
Presents
Many people get insulted when they get money for their birthdays. I am pleased to report that I am not one of these people. Euros and dollars in particular are most welcome.
Or you could just cut to the chase and get a brother this
Other perfectly acceptable gifts are:
- Jumping out of a cake (Chromosomes XY need NOT apply)
- White Chocolate
Drawing and quarteringSponsoring a trip for every last politician in Kenya into the North Pole, and surreptitiously extracting all their compasses when they get thereTom & Jerry on DVDCharlie Chaplin on DVDSouthPark on DVD
Changes
There has been some changes in the women in my life. I have decided to get another one. Gathoni has been a friend, ally and confidante for many years but of late she has gone blind and can no longer do the things that made her what she is. I discussed it with her and we both agreed that it was for the best that I bring another woman home.
Clarice is lighter than Gathoni, but certainly bigger, and has more curves, something I have never minded. I know this because I carried her over the threshold last night. They met and from what I can see, they get along like a house on fire. Yes, Gathoni is blind but can still do many of the things that made her indispensable.
Gathoni, so smooth, so fresh, so clean
Clarice, so quick, so nimble
Both of them however know that I have had a crush for quite some time on Siobhan. Problem is she’s so out of my league I’m practically a non starter. However if i ever got a shot at that silky smooth skin I’d be on her like sweat on Chris Murungaru
Siobhan, so WHOA!! Would you just look at the size of that … [Reserved for use by management]

Happy Birthday Marc. I wish you a lifetime of joy and tranquillity. Have lots of fun on this day.
Happy, happy birthday! Also yeah, what’s wrong with cash? Why make family and friends rack their brains only to wind up getting some ugly, unwanted, unsuitable gift? Give me cash any day! All the better to buy unbelievably expensive cocktails:)
Happy Birthday M!! Have a fab day and year ahead..
(they replaced TCM with MTV Base?!!)
Hey M,
A very happy birthday to you! Each day we live is a precious gift from God to be enjoyed to the fullest. Enjoy your special day!
Happy Birthday! Life does get better with age; this is from experience of two dozen na ya kuongeza.
Happy Birthday!
And i’m sure you pronounce ‘Clarice’ the way Anthony Hopkins does in ‘Silence Of The Lambs’…
We know you so well :D
Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday!
Damn fine looking baby’s If I may say so myself. Now since you gave up on Gathoni could "we" take care of her???
I dont think you and Clarice would mind much!
Beautiful pictures! Damn fine specimens if I could say so myself.
Hongera M!
Yes, I do feel you on that jeans matter :-)
happy birthday man!!
hope you have many more khans to come…
lol @ nero
I have/wear jeans that ACTUALLY FADED!
or is it "Faded Naturally?" :-D
Happy Birthday may you live to be 100 and perhaps understand the thought process of the Kibaki Cronies.
Till then enjoy…
"Wisdom doesn’t automatically come with old age. Nothing does – except wrinkles. It’s true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place."
and I could not resist…
"The denunciation of the young is a necessary part of the hygiene of older people, and greatly assists in the circulation of their blood. "
PS:- Feelin’ you on the jeans thing, have a good one.
Happy bday jamaa.
Happy Bday M!!

Wassup (M)ysterious! Some facts have been added to the M’s X-file. In actual fact, it’s been renamed to Marc’s X-file. Just to have a peep into it:
1 M resides in SB
2 M works for an ITC firm
3 M …
4 …
and the latest…
176 M was born on 01/12/7*
Old is Gold? Probably silver. Happy Birthday
You, my friend are old indeed. We used to (and still do) refer to your kind as "memorial". You know if some of us were half as old as old as you are then i bet we’d have known that the jewish holiday that celebrates the freedom of isralites from Egypt is NOT called the Hang-Over but instead, the Pass-Over.
And ofcourse if some of us were half as young as you are, then we’d not be looking back n saying (preferably in mother tongue since english had not yet been invented by the time of our conception) "wow, I’m half a century old!"
Happy Birthday M.
So umm… out of curiosity, when is your Death day? :-)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
My belated Happy Birthday M!
Happy Birthday M!
It was a day like no other until……..
The only reason that i was late to wish this brother HAPPY BIRTHDAY is i still wanted a card that could sing your name and Happy Birthday, M was certainly a name they couldn’t figure, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR M…See what i mean
Now Dear Marc looks more interesting. I will see what i will do with the new discovery.
If you think growing OLD is hard try growing YOUNG.
hope u had a good one.
[...] Speaking of growing up, M muses on his birthday observing that Old is gold. [...]

Well … one does one’s best…
Happy belated birthday & many more to come.
Bon anniversaire, M !

M
Its interesting how Im only smart/wise blah blah blah when Im agreeing with your opinion!
Quick question. How long after someone’s birthday are you allowed to say happy belated birthday? A week, A month, 2-6 months???
Yani now I’m a groupie? Do I get to rub my body against yours? Nekkid?
(Ha ha ha)
