End Year Love
It's the ending of the year
It just began and I'm off
I was waiting for it all this time
But there is something wrong
I have something holding me back
It makes me not want to go
I wanna stay cause I have this feeling
I could do good back home
But I don't disappoint and I go
I say nothing about it
I make no big deal
And no one knows
I have this regret inside my head
Something no one could imagine
Cause I'm a weird person
I had that strange feeling
I had it for a reason
Maybe it was for really nothing
But truly I knew there was something
Maybe not yet but it could be
I knew I'd be back but I got nervous
Cause the reason I didn't want to go
Was a reason why I have this emotion now
Something new to me I think it could be real
I want to give it a try
Maybe something cool can happen
Maybe I can get in that race
The race or game they always talk about
The one with love
They say no loves the same
You got to discover it
You must not deceive
You must be true
You got to try your best
Make the best of yourself
And let your heart take care of the rest

CORRUPTION EATING INTO OUR ECONOMY.
As i'm posting this (today, 15th Nov. 2006), Hon. Kiraitu and Prof. Saitoti have been re-appointed to the ministerial posts (Energy and education respectively) before Anglo-leasing and Goldenburg scandals are finalised.
Rampant corruption in Kenya continues to stifle growth in East Africa's biggest economy, despite the enactment of key reforms in recent years, a continental review body said on Tuesday.
The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) said Kenya also needed to overhaul its outmoded constitution after previous attempts were stalled by political posturing and acrimony among the country's political parties.
"Kenya has had, and continues to have, a significant and debilitating problem of corruption," said the APRM report, which was submitted to the Pan African Parliament.
"Decades of endemic corruption have fundamentally perverted cultural values," it added.
Despite noticeable progress on reform, the country still faced many challenges including implementing strong and effective anti-corruption policies, and enacting terrorism and money-laundering laws.
The government should also restructure state expenditure and its wage bill, the report said.
President Mwai Kibaki came to power in 2002 vowing to clamp down on the graft and nepotism which had flourished under his predecessor Daniel Arap Moi.
But his government has been mired in corruption scandals -- some implicating senior officials -- which have drawn the wrath of Western donors and many of the nation's 32 million people.
Last week a senior British official said top-to-bottom corruption in Kenya had heightened the country's vulnerability to terrorism and made it an increasingly popular route for drug-traffickers.
The peer review mechanism is a cornerstone of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) plan under which governments subject their policies to external scrutiny.
African leaders have acknowledged that some countries are reluctant to open up to scrutiny and so far only 25 out of 53 countries in the African Union have signed up for review.
The report also assessed included Ghana and Rwanda.
It said Ghana was "an oasis of peace and tranquillity" in the tumultuous West African region, but corruption remained prevalent despite the government's policy of zero-tolerance.
The APRM applauded Rwanda's efforts to achieve national unity and reconciliation after the genocide of the 1990s, but urged the government to establish a clear land policy and remove all restrictions on political rights, among other reforms.
Now who will save us from this?

The difference between men and women : Talking
When a man returns home tired and weary after a hard day’s toil he needs about twenty minutes peace and quiet just to unwind from the stresses and strains he has suffered. Unfortunately when he gets home his wife needs to tell him, all the problems and issues which have developed during the day. Luckily men have developed the ability to listen, appear interested and sleep all at the same time.
If you want to make a woman happy talk more, if you want to make her really happy talk about your relationship, if you want to make her ecstatic talk about the diamond ring you are going to buy her.
Women have the ability to talk and listen at the same time - so she’s not being rude when she interrupts while you are speaking....oops! Of course, if you interrupt her while she’s talking you’re in real trouble for she knows that men can’t talk and listen at the same time (n thats a normal thing).
Never snore while a woman is talking (hell! what she talks pauselessly!). It may give her the impression that you’re not listening.
While women have developed the ability to listen to six conversations simultaneously men have developed the ability to listen to one conversation in a rowdy pub while a 100 decibel wall of sound bombards them from all around.
Male speech is minimalist. It has no place for the twists and turns, the flowery imagery and innuendo that embellishes the speech of females. Shortly after meeting a woman in a club a man is likely to say, ‘Let’s go to my place and have sex’ A woman compensates for the man’s lack of language skills by filling in the blanks. She will know that what he is trying to say in his pathetic little way is, ‘I am a desperately lonely slob with absolutely no social graces but having consumed eight pints of Tusker. I have plucked up the courage to come over and talk to you and make a complete fool of myself.’
