IN THE BATTLE WITH AMNESIA


AMNESIA HOW IT BASHED ME


Today in the aggressiveness of the morning cold. I woke up to a string of eerie thoughts. The thought of the proverbial partially amnesiac lady. Who left her office at four o’clock in the evening? Rushed down the stairs to the car park. While at the car park. She looked around, alas!, there was no signs of her car. She quickly rummaged into her classy pink purse, if she had her car keys in the first place. Trying to contain herself in the light of the grand astonishment. She hastily rushed to the elevator back to her office. She actually thought that her car keys were there on her desk.
She quickly entered office number five block two wing C. Then there came the unexpected. There was no keys and the car was not in the park. “What happened” she asked herself. She immediately called her hubby, “Honey hurry up to my office , my car is stolen”. “Give me five minutes “, the husband said. He  did not say a word about the purported car theft. “Honey am sorry, somebody stole my car woyeee! I don’t even know what to do?”. “let’s go home!, he said.
While on the way her husband reminded her, that it was actually him, who drove her to work that day and that she had left the car at home.” Jeez! She slapped her head in disgust. The next day she leaves the car at a park in town proceed by a friend’s car, while at the door of her house she recalls that unfortunately she has forgotten the keys to her house in the car somewhere in town. Damn she has to break the door lock.
The worse form of memory loss are the days you wake up in the night and you do not remember the direction of the toilet, the wall or the door. You end up hurting yourself on some object. I have always thought that the sleep walkers are actually patients for this undesirable condition. The other worse form of memory loss is when you completely forget what you were supposed to do on a specific day, for instance forgetting that you were supposed to go to work or school or that you were supposed to catch an early bus. Today I woke up and forgot the keys to my office. I only realized this while at the office door. Somehow everyone suffers memory loss. We all forget to do one thing or another. We are taught math in school and we forget the formula. We read and forget what we have read!. Isn’t that a form of amnesia?
There are those cases of memory loss that went viral. The lady who forgot not only where her pants were after sex but also did not remember to wear it. Then there is the village boy who forgot his pair of shorts beside his poop and went back home only in his under wear. It happens daily. We forget our phones over the shop counters. We forget our pants, soap and washing nets in the public washrooms. We forget bags and umbrellas in the public vehicles. We literally forget everything everywhere. My teacher forgot her purse with fifty thousand Kenya shillings at the counter of an mpesa shop.
Interesting that we all suffer from this natural infirmity. Though the memory of a computer diminishes proportionately with the rate of information stored or relayed. God did not create the memory lapses we are all going through but they are here probably due to lifestyle. God had created a perfect being which implies that man had a well configured sufficient memory. Even though the major cause of memory loss are stress, depression and anxiety. There are other induced causes like head injury, bleeding, stroke- trauma in general. Drug and substance abuse can also raise the levels of amnesia.
So amnesia will be here to stay if we continue to live a disorganized life style, eat unhealthy and skip rest.

A FEW PICKS ABOUT VALENTINE AND BROKEN HEARTS.

I have been following on Valentine's day heartbreaking escapades of what sacrifices guys made for the sake of love, and am left in a reality limbo. The question that rings in my mind is is if indeed love exists? A man braced himself for a two year jail term sentence for an offence which was perpetrated by his lover. Sadly the girl who stole from her father a good amount of money went ahead to incriminate her husband after they had agreed the husband would come in to stand in for his wife in prison. By the time the guy was released from incarceration his love had left him. In a separate incidence a lady boycotted their wedding, broke a relationship two days to the wedding, fled and eloped with a white German man. It happened that two days to the wedding, one of the brides maid called the groom who was far from the wedding venue, telling him the wedding was bound not to be. The groom got concerned,,travelled down south to interrogate the issue one on one. When he found the bride,...

MONEY MAKES MAN MAD

Money is the exact opposite of the Holy spirit. Money changes people. When a poor person finally gets money, the person changes like a snake that sheds it's exo-skeleton or like a caterpillar that becomes a butterfly or a moth. The moth can never remember it's Caterpillar life.  Wait! Almost everyone who was not borne in a flood of money. Some men immediately start to think, they can be sponsors or even to the extreme end, add onto themselves more wives and concubines. Some men all of a sudden fall out of love with the women who stood with them at their lowest height below poverty level.  The worse though are women. when a woman who had not known money comes to find good money in the palm of her hands. Immediately she compulsively feels, " I don't need a man. Where can I take a man. I am independent. I can pay my rent, buy any clothe I want, I can buy a car and do everything I want. No I don't need a man."  That is when a married woman stops ...

KENYATTA NATIONAL HOSPITAL EXPOSED BY CITIZEN TV

THE NURSES STRIKE. The filth going on at Kenyatta National Hospital should be the basis on which the 47 % of the registered voters, purportedly supporting such an irresponsible government; change their mind to vote against that government which neglects the sick while marauding to have in mind health services. The image Aired internationally on Citizen TV today on 03/08/2017 has tarnished the reputation of Uhuru's government. I don't know how Jubilee can mend their dirty underwear aired in public today. All this time nurses have been on strike, demonstrating daily as Kenyans brace themselves for a Cholera republic, starting from Weston and other 8 star hotel. Right inside the hospital, the environment is pathetic. With the eyesores some sane Kenyans still want to vote back a government that has turned a deaf ear on a national crisis on health. The government cannot by any means turn its back on the nurses strike. Policing on health still lies with the national governmen...
