Attention Blogren! This is the Streetsider speaking, I know I have been m.i.a.; my apologies. I did not intend it to happen that way. I have not been suffering from blogcks or any of those conditions that grab Bloggers by the short and curlies and twist gleefully. I have been busy. Education was wasting my time. I had exams. Sort of.
It is good to be back.
It is at this point that I should inform you of a certain project. This project was to be handled in conjunction with Sleek, (rumors of whose death at my hands have by the way been greatly exaggerated) but I think I foxed. I have just been in his yard checking and there is nothing, well, if he is still game then so am I.
Therefore, keep your eye-balls unshaved, ladies and gentlemen; in case this worthy hombre comes through, keep your ears grimy, do not clean them, in fact if possible groom and tend those gooey stalactites; keep your hands callused, forswear Vaseline, Lotion, Ghee (yeah Normzo, we know, okay? we know). Stick to sabuni kanga and paw-paw leaves… because my good friends when on that fateful day you type those power laden letters into your web browser , and you have not taken the precautions I have advised, you will have nobody to blame but yourself.
For your eyeballs will need to be unshaved if you are to withstand the searing white heat of the skill that would sizzle your corneas and reduce them to dirty-grey flakes floating merrily on the afternoon breeze …
…your ears will need to be clogged to protect you from the ear-drum disintegrating yells of ecstatic joy that you will be releasing orgiastically at every witty gem and bon mot…
…and your hands will need to be callused to handle all the high fives you will be unable to keep from springing on unsuspecting passers-by and miscellaneous furniture…
If you have a helmet, or any other protective equipment (Spartakuss put those condoms away, I did not mean that kind of equipment) get it out, polish it and keep yourself practiced in its usage. Because we are going to unapologetically blow your minds, Oh Yes!, people will be picking up bits of your cranium in Moroto.
You have been warned.
………………………….
Many people do not know that I had a blog before this one. It was very dark and angry and extremely, extremely confused. It was of this blog that I was referring to here. I have since deleted said blog and I only mention it because of this bit of verse which I found in my junk recently (actually I run into it all the time) that was supposed to be my last blog post before I moved on to the more serious business of changing the world.
O Ye! Wretched of the earth See the Streetsider of sinister mirth Hail this fiend cursed from birth Touched by the devil, Sick on every level, His mind shall spread throughout the earth
Perhaps I was a self loathing egotistical shit after all.
Onward-
You may remember that a few months back the Streetsider did maliciously and without any regard for the generally accepted standards of good taste, attempt to injure, destroy, contaminate and otherwise blemish the impeccable literary standards upheld by the Ugandan blogging community.
You may remember this here.
Following this fiasco, the Streetsider was very gently but firmly informed that should he indulge in such deplorable wankage again he would be in trouble. You may remember this here.
Resolutions were made.You may remember this here.
…and promptly dashed. Last night was terrible. I woke up from one of those nightmarish things where you feel as if you are being stifled by a gigantic malevolent force and you cannot move a muscle. Some people enjoy them (mbu), I find them terrifying. I also get them a lot. And it was worse when I was a kid. I used to console myself that I must be special otherwise aliens from outer space would have selected someone else to have weird mind sex with.
Anyway whatever, I couldn’t sleep after that. So I spent about an hour squatting in my head thinking about this and that, (too much of this, not enough of that) and ended up trying to finish those left-over rhymes.
Here is the continuation. Enjoy.
Its 3 in the morning but I can’t sleep
Fuck, I am an insomniac
A nervy pervy brainiac who speaks in Bleep
Who’s frustrated and tormented, discontented and demented
Oh sweet Jesus, come save my soul!!
I am almost dead from bingeing off old school rock n roll and raw alcohol!
What! Kid you’re crazy!
What temptation? That was just a movie by Martin Scorsese!
Go away, leave me alone
I am lazy;
I can’t hear you when you pray
Can’t understand half the things you say
Heaven is far away and am in a Chevrolet driving to a café with a bouquet for Mary Magdalay
Wait, I thought you were gay?
Ehh… hehe-hehe
Well, this is not for me, but good luck Eizzy-K.
I lived in despair, walked with uncombed hair, turmoil in my mind wonderin’
Do I dare and do I dare?
Have I time
To turn my back and climb this rickety stair
Do I dare fight these windmills of convention, these clay giants of pretension?
Do I dare to be different, to be strange?
Do I dare to voice my rage?
(In Hell there is a dossier, with your name on every page)
Who speaks, who goes there?
Tell me what to do that I may escape this nightmare
Give me some rules, fight me a duel
I want to be cruel, douse a cat in lighter fuel
Set it on fire and watch it cry and mewl
Shit!
I want to do something, sink my teeth into something
Be it a rock or the devil’s cock
Fuck, am paralysed, stuck…
My life sucks but I’ll die before I become another J.Alfred Prufrock
Living life in a groove, a crack, scared to run amuck, scared of what others have thunk… wait
Have thunk, have think?
That’s kinda funny, you tickled pink?
Keep quiet, be quiet,
Calm down, stand, focus on the tasks at hand, like Tzad you have chosen this path and its enough to give you strife for the rest of your life and more, you might die poor, you might….
Silence! The Gods are speaking, (The Devil roguishly winking…)
…Let’s wait and see if this ka-fucker is just being immature,
Cock-sure
Leaving cyber spoor
Wannabe philosophical entrepreneur
Flirting with shit he cannot endure
See if he’ll make a sudden detour like a drunken boor in the dark wandering off the track beaten and sure off onto the moor only to end up to his neck in muck and manure.
Awww! See! It’s Mother Mary tender and mild She’s walking a little unsteady I think she’s heavy with child.
It is important to let things go, to let things flow, let them just be… So.
I know.
To not be picky, its tricky, coz life has a way of being sticky and taking your mickey if your plans are set in stone.
You want to make love , life is a quickie.
I dunno
All I can do is sink my teeth like Rikki Tikki and hang on.
There was more, quite a bit more, but this post is long enough as it is. Regards from the Streetside.
