Ted's Spare parts


I'm reading that I have the right to donate my organs should I kick the bucket.


I would have loved to, because it would be nice to float around as an ancestral spirit while still physically keeping an eye on the goings-on around these parts.


Problem, however, is that, like most Kenyans, I have (mis)used my organs in the reckless manner matatus are driven.


I can, therefore, picture the doc rummaging through the bucket in which my used "spare parts" would be stored:


Kidney? Crap. 

Liver? Bullshit.

Eyes? Was this idiot even seeing his nose?

Knees? Haaa! Dr Kizito! Hebu kuja uone hizi!

Heart? Bloody hell!!! 

Lungs? Holy shit!

Brain?  Basket case.

Bile duct? Hmm...maybe.


Bwana if you hear a rumour that they want to give you one of my organs, call the Flying Squad because hio watu wanataka kukumalisa!

Major Ariel

Ariel studies Chemistry, but is also a footballer who retired prematurely because of a bad knee. A knee that chose chemistry over football. He is a farmer during long holidays. He keeps chicken and milk his father’s cow on a good day. On a bad day he goes to a nearby dusty arena to play football, to see if his knee could have possibly changed its idea about chemistry. Ten minutes into the  game he becomes a living testimony that his knees were actually meant to stand long hours in the chemistry lab doing tests and mixing chemicals to see colour changes, precipitates and what have you that don’t excite me. He is a vocabulary expert and a story teller. He is a fitness aficionado. He is a brother and a son. I can’t prove that he is a boyfriend but I can prove beyond any limits that in the past 7 days he has eaten chapatti at least thrice.  He's authored   THE FAMILY MAN ,   WHAT I WANT , GRIP REAPER ,  J'S COCUNUTS just to mention a handful. He is a huge...
