same ol’ same ol’
so am somewhat tired of the same ol’ hanging out routine that’s goin on in my life. i spend most of the week in office till late but occasionally attend boring rock night on thursdays simply because some friends always holla. come friday and i know the whole works, every single place we are goin to go to, and at the precise time. i think it is boring. saturday always starts off at mateos(only i never go there) or at some bash/party and concludes somewhere in kisementi. so for the past month i have intentionally been busy, laboring under a pathetic illusion of which no amount of failure can rid me, that if i take a while without hanging i will enjoy it afterwards.
now do not get me wrong, i enjoy the company of my friends and the beautiful damsels i occasionally hang out with, am just tired of the same ol’ places and routine. i think i have been to all the cool places in kampala and they aint cool no more. the only thing that seems to get me excited nowadays is the mention of a roadtrip or a trip upcountry, am always up for that kind of rot, it gets my heart racing like fierce venom coursing through its victim’s veins.
which brings me to the weekend past. it had been almost a month of seclusion from most of my friends, it was time to get back to them, i was excited. at about 8pm he tells me about a bloggers get together organized, i think, by him and her. ‘course i couldn’t go but i was reliably informed it was on a blazingo (damn, maybe its time i also came clean). anyway about half an hour later i receive 2 separate invites to 2 different parties. i head for one but decide to leave soon as i get there, it was boring. so i head to rubaga for the second party. it was blazing for the first hour until talk of relocating came up, same ol’ same ol’. i was not impressed, suffice it to say i was in bed by 11.30pm on a saturday night, goes to show that miracles still happen.
so my point?? this routine is boring the hell outta me. i would like to spend some thursdays at national theatre laughing myself silly with my friends in tow. i would like to go check out afrigo some saturdays at obligatto. i would like to attend a poetry show sometime on a friday. i would like to go check out art galleries and attend art exhibitions sometime. i get to do alot of these things either by myself, which is pretty cool most of the time, or with pips whose company i do not enjoy. somehow its the pips whose company i do not enjoy that like the same stuff i do. sucks. for example, the last time i was at the national theatre was with this chic who was trying to impress me(wat?? you think i got no game, think again, am a top notch P.I.M.P), needless to say i wasn’t. most of my friends think comedy night aint cool, they would rather be chilling at steakout listening to the same rock music they have listened to for the past two years, and do not get them started on afrigo or poetry, they think they are too cool for that kinda rot. i do have a few friends who find that stuff cool, but they are always busy with one thing or another, or they have wickedly early curfew.
so am stuck, don’t want to go through the same routine, don’t want to hang out with gals trying to suck up or boring pips and definitely don’t want to hang out alone all the time. what is a man to do???
kale now, ivan, solomon, senga and eatv, please tell, how was the bloggers’ mini do on sato, all details awaited with bated breath
oh well, am outta here, you know it makes sense!!!
peace!!!!!!

Looks like we are living in the same world.
How about we hook up for a comedy night and Afrigo
sometime soon.
Sounds like better fun that the Fatboys’ of this world.

I know how you feel dawg.I tried out comedy night twice, but somehow couldnt bring myself to go the third time.It felt like some of their jokes were being recycled from the internet and given a local touch up.

If you like to dance, the salsa club on acacia avenue is worth a try. Iguana isn’t so bad Mon - Wednesday. Bat Valley has some amazing local skits ‘Mbaga ye mbata’ you’ll like.

@mama boy wonder, i think now i just might follow you to jinja.
@jny, man afrigo and comedy night rock, tho comedy night needs like twice a month, you over go there and its no longer right.
@igis, comedy night rocks, just don’t over do it.
@yvonne, yo name brings memories flooding back. am sure to try out that salsa club. i didn’t think much of iguana, now am sure to try it.

emi just might have a good idea there…
are you more into hanging out with loud music? would suggest cassia lodge but it might not be your style…
guess it’s time for you to start discovering new places… check in the eye magazine and then go adventuring every week. ate my discovery-mate left me in a lurch so i can always tug along if you would like… and no i am not one of those girls who suck up… so is that yes i hear?
