so its valentines today...the day everybody who is in love is much more in love than any other day of the year. the day single people feel like the world is not right (but not me). the day flower vendors make a killing. the day you might loose you girl to a more romantic bloke. the day you might get married, the day you might be rained on-and you will find it romantic-depending on who you are with...the day i spent doing nothing, absolutely nothing (and no one hehehe)
yeah my day wasn't very valentiny which is not to say am bored or dissapointed...far from it (one of my high school principals used to say that) am actually more happy and content than i thought i would. i dint buy any one flowers or send anyone cards...and i don't think i was supposed to. i did however receive a couple of sweet texts and honestly i didn't reply most of them. one for personal harsh reasons and the others for the simple reason that i was not in the mood and to wish them love and happy times back when i did not me would be lying-and i make it a habit not to lie unless i have to.
i spent most of the day cleaning, listening to music, listening to myself sing (this is quite some work heheh) and just thinking about stuff.
i had a great weekend though...camping, i cant have enough of it. at one point when i make enough money to piss on the world I'll probably grab a tent and camp out somewhere for a year or more...or at least until i get bored of it. so waht did i love about camping?
first, we were camping out by lake naivasha at fisherman's camp and on the 1st morning i woke up early, took a shower and in light clothing headed out to a raft just off the shore of the lake. i watched the sun rise. as the rays split through the reeds, the the raft sway slow over the wind-blown water. and i sat there legs crossed listening to some soft music as the soft breeze blew through my hair and face. birds in packs of four or fives flew above me...probably finding breakfast. and the lake stretched out far leaving only a beatiful shade of blue horizons as far as my eyes could see.
in the evening i set out walking for a few minutes and ended up several kilometers up a hill opposite my campsite. the scene became more breathtaking the more i went up and i kept going. by the time i got hold of myself i had gone over the hill and on to the other side where there was a small village; a true village made up of about 10 or so huts spread out. the walls were of mud and the roofs made of hutch. the village was complete with three cow sheds made of dry maize. it was sunny and the animals lazy so that they the animals carelessly lay by their sheds and stared at me rudely for disturbing their peace.
the women were gathered in one hut fixing their red hair while the men lay under their hut entrances protecting themselves from the scorching sun. the children were the only ones who walked around. they looked at me and laughed. apparently something about me was extremely amusing (i wonder what). on my way back down i came to a rock peak where you could see the whole lake down below...by the time i got back to camp, it was almost dark.
did i mention we were driving a BMW? yes her name is rosy shes a red BMW 520...beautiful thing. Muchi had a few problems with her most of the way but pulled through and boy ain't she a female puller. other than this i got drunk, got naughty and met a few people (note: meet not make friends). at some point i got so high and though i was crawling in a dessert...am now told that i dramatically crawled about a meter and blacked out after that. it was a great weekend...and yes i feel cured now.
happy valentines.
