Wonna know?

I think that its time that i share this with everyone . I would love to answer a question that quite a number of people have asked me. George Kinuthia ...why dont you have a girlfriend? Well reader sit and relax cause am going to give you a number of reasons to why . Before i begin i would like to make it clear that i have had a number of girls who are my friends not girlfriends but friends who are girls. The first is : i have seen what relationships have done to people and i don't want that. I mean i never ever want to break a girls heart and be seen as a bad person. I also have a heart which they may break and dont want to spend precious time wailing and mourning over a person who is not dead ! That means that if i get a girlfriend and i will never break her heart ... Honey we may as well get married . FYI I still live with my parents ! For heaven sake am only 18 ! The next really is : i have a future to build for myself and not only for me but also for my future wife and children . For that i need to concentrate . The last thing i need is someone obstructing me from achieving this . Always on my mind , i cant sleep , cant concentrate in class , mum i cant eat . Honey take me shopping ! My going crazy ? Gosh that is just too much to handle! My mum supports and she always tells me that i should put my education as my number one priority and not to worry about the rest because God has a plan for everyone of us . I know that God has designated that special someone for me and Honey i know i havent met you yet but gal am doing all this cause i love and care for you ! The final reason is obvious ... am too young to have a girlfriend! Am not going to waste my allowance on you! Sorry i wont take you out cause am gonna miss Chowder and i havent even started yet on Lost season 6! Yes am childish, i watch too much Tv ,my butt swollen red from sitting 24/7 and am going past 70kg. Am proud of all this cause this is the George Kinuthia we know and love . Am not criticizing anyone with a gf or asking you to break up but do what you are doing ukiwa umejipanga ! Seco has changed me a lot and am not the innocent looking little angel that joined Changez in 07 'talk about changes '. Thank God we going to Uni and whatever happens there ... Well i dont know. If i lose my balance and break a couple of virginities ...what can i say? Well now at least you all know and i thank fb for giving me the opportunity to share what is in my heart to all who care . Now that that is over ...never ask me again why i dont have a girlfriend cause i carry this phone with me all the time and am gonna take it out and read this note out to y'all who WONNA KNOW !!

The 7 Wonders of George Kinuthia.

1. The mosquito that doesn't bite.-squashed it and there was no blood on my hands. 2. The mysterious chicken beast -only mum has ever seen it and says that it is black ,has a long tail and lives in the bush. Damn thing ate all our chicken. 3. The bodyless tongue rat that lives in our cooker-all we ever see is its tongue through the cookers holes trying to lick poured tea. 4. The anti-pothole road of Bamburi - the road is like 15 years old and i have never even seen a 1mm diameter pothole on it . 5. The chicken house that let in monitor lizards even when the doors were shut and all the gaps were covered. -still don't know how they used to enter (did they have a key?) 6. The Makupa causeway - Remember Mombasa is an island. You pass through no bridge or use a ferry and u find yourself in the island when you are from Nairobi. That's cause you used the Makupa causeway. If you are ignorant as i was you would think that you are passing through a road in the mainland when its actually artificial land! I still wonder how they built it. 7. The floating bridge of Nyali - believe it or not, the bridge literally floated on water! Never got to see it though as it was demolished before most of us were born. I wonder though what would have happened if a good hurricane hit Kenya! __ Ladies and gentlemen those are my 7 wonders, what are yours ?

Curse of the mountain bike : Part III

 At least now u r now starting to see why i think of these problems as a curse. They are so many i have had to write 3 posts! I'll try to wind up. First i am proud to say the bike is quite stable now. 1 problem free week. Okay so after the gear stuff was replaced, it never helped. I took it back and they told me that the chain needed replacing. My dad took the bike later and told them to take their filthy gear stuff off my bike and returned mine. After days of crappy riding, thank God the chain broke and was replaced . That at least reduced the frequency of the gear 'jumping' but never fully solved the problem even to today. Later i discovered that the back tyre had been loose for quite sometime. Because i remembered that the bike produced a grinding sound. My dad took it for repair and it was tightened. Just a few rides after the tyre was back to shaking like a loose tooth. He later took it back again and since his tightening never solved the problem, he was asked to replace that metal where the spokes are attached to. That seemed to solve the problem. Unfortunately the spokes were loosely connected and when i was riding' suddenly the tyre curved in like as if it had been hit by a matatu. My dad came to a conclusion that the bike repair guy was a quack and he took it to this place which i haven't know up to now. Well they did a good job. The tyre is as good as new. One week later the front wheel decided to loosen up pretty bad in such a way that you couldn't ride it. Well my dad a week later took it the magical repair man and the bike came back looking new. One week now, no problems save for a few gear problems here and there , but then again riding my bike has never been sweeter!! Thanks for reading.

Curse of the mountain bikes: Part II

I haven't written in quite a while so lets get right to it. I apologize to my readers for having to wait so long for part 2. Here it is. So my dad decided to ditch the first bike and went off to buy a second hand thinking that the price range was 2 to 4k . We however abandoned the thought of buying a new bike after hearing the prices. And what were they charging for those old , rusty bikes. 8k! We went off to buy a new bike at a familiar place. Yeah it was familiar cos call me stupid it was the same vendor who sold us my first bike. I decided not to tell my dad cos i was desperately in need of a new bike. Today i regret that decision! The bike was just 6k! When the deal is too good think twice! But the damn thing looked good n it still does. Made of shiny metal. So we took the days purchase home and i took it out for a test ride. On the way to the field i met some kids riding a borrowed bike. Since mine had a 'passenger seat' on the kids requested that i carry his friend n i did. We rode through some tall grass and up a hill. Suddenly the bike pedals felt loose and however how much i pedalled, the bike didnt move. I looked down and saw the chain. It had broke off! Luckily the vendor had told us that we could take the bike back anytime for repair. I returned the broken chain and it was replaced. Stupid bike! Spoiling on its first day of purchase! Yeah that was just the beginning. Before i rode it i had adjusted the seat to suit my height, but even after tightening it , the seat would easily move back and forth like a seesaw depending on where i applied pressure. Solution: i replaced the seat with that of the old bike. No more problems. After some days riding, problem no3. The right bike pedal , started getting loose and soon enough the part of the pedal where the feet is placed fell off. I tightened it with pliers. Days later it fell off, i got hold of a spanner n tightened it tight. That worked. Damn thing has never fallen of again. Later only a minor problem, the back mudguard become loose after the screws came off but i kinda used a hook and crook method to hold it back into place. The bike stayed problem free for sometime and was promising. The thing was fast and i could ride for long without fatigue. I even rode all the way to Shanzu n Mtwapa. For a good period of time, it was the best bike in the world and the bike of my dreams. It still feels like that once in a while nowadays. Holiday over! One day as i was riding to Shanzu, a new problem occured. The back tyre loosened. It became loose in a freaky way. I heard something fall and the bike started moving irregularly. I checked the back wheel. The two nuts were still tightly in place and tyre seemed to have been disconnected from the central metal cylinder as it moved loosely like a milk tooth. The bike was taken back to the vendor for repair. It was repaired. Unfortunately when my dad was putting the bike in the boot, the left gear changer broke. Like it broke into pieces. I tried riding it as it was but changing the gears using the right changer didnt seem to work. The bike was unridable. My dad told me that we would replace them with that of the first bike. I decided to do so on the second day only to discover that my dad had already ruined the right one. I opened up the left one and discovered why my dad had ruined the other one. Once u opened it, it couldnt put it back again cos of some spring, furthermore the changer was connected to the gear wire and thus to remove it meant removing the wire too. Cumbersome! My dad took it back to the vendor anyway. The gear changers were replaced and they still work ok. Next just after a few days after the back tyre had been repaired the front followed the same fate. It became a loose baby tooth so i replaced it with that of the first bike, remember the one that had a high quality tube? Yes that one. Oh it made it worse ! It reminded me of the crappy first bike that was so slow. Still up to today i dont know what makes it so slow. Even if you pedal your hardest, damn thing will just move like a wheelchair. I don't know why but it feels like there is some resistance at the pedals. A few km of riding leaves u exhausted like a goat. I persevered and on the next Saturday took the first tyre out and have it to my dad to take it for repair. That seemed to work. The only problem even after repairing the bike was the resistance when riding. It soon eased of a bit but pedaling became quite hazardous as the pedals will seem to get stuck and suddenly get loose and if riding too fast, this will cause your feet to leave the pedals and you loose control. This would occur once in a while but it started happening more frequently and the gear stuff and the back would seem to be jumping like as if something will get stuck ,pull it, let go and them get stuck again. My dad took for repair and we were told that it would require another gear machine stuff costing 250. That never seemed to fix it...
