I have, like most people, a daily routine. A sort of mental list of things that I do every day irrespective of how busy, tired or stressed I am. Items on this ‘list’ include the obvious (brushing teeth), the mundane (checking the letter box) and the necessary (Internet time).
I can not remember when the internet became a necessity. I do know that ever since I discovered blogs and blogging, I am yet to last a day with out either reading someone else’s blog or writing in my own.
Usually I have a general idea about the sort of issues I want to blog about. This weekend I was feeling even more organised as Nick had stared a Michael Jackson meme and I planned to post my answers over the weekend. Then I wanted to do a detox update (still going strong!) and possibly ‘host’ an award ceremony for the winners of Mama JunkYard’s Junk (closing date 11th March 2005).
That was the plan….
……………until ‘it’ happened.
This ‘thing’ has made it almost impossible for me to spend time online, messed up my blogging plans and worst of all, I can’t even blog about. . I don’t mean can’t as in; ‘I don’t know what to write’ or ‘kizungu ngumu’. I mean can’t as in; I know exactly what I want to say but it would be wrong, unethical even for me to blog about. Who can blog it? I can’t blog it! It is unbloggable (Yawa! No idea why I’ve gone all Gidi Gidi, but do I say?)
Since I began blogging I decided that if the actions and/or words of another intersected my life and were in my view, blog worthy, I would blog about from my perspective (without violating their right to anonymity). This has been my approach and so far it has worked.
Recently I have found myself faced with ‘drama’ that is going on in someone else’s life. Like with all drama that takes place in the lives of those I love, it has found a way of intersecting my life, my thoughts and my blog plans. That person’s drama, through no fault of their own has in some way become my drama.
I have spent most of the weekend, dealing with ‘the unbloggable drama’. It has been on my mind for most of the time. It is now my drama and yet I can’t blog about. What a bizarre feeling. That is why I am sat here blogging around the subject in an attempt to get it off my chest so that I can get back to my ‘normal’ blogging.

Even while blogging about not being able to blog (ha!), your posts are always interesting Hoping and praying that your ‘drama’ is soon over and you can come back to the norm soon, however.
p.s. I will get back to the ‘giving money to homeless people and beggars’ post once I have worked out the true meaning of “Mbaara ti ucuru”. Direct translation – war is not porridge Or we could ask the source directly. Wambui wii ku?
MJ Says: Thank you Mshairi. I know I can always count on you to cheer me up and to pray for me.
