Awesome SAFARI Weekend Part 2

More from weekend safari…. The good thing about living in Africa is the fact that its a place where nature and humans can literally cohabit… (well most of the times, sometimes things go south and people get hurt) but its a peaceful place, I get to see them in their environment without fences around them like in a zoo…. I LOVE AFRICA, Especially KENYA 😉

Briefs

 When men buy undergarments be it boxers, briefs or underwear we rarely think heavily about it to us it’s all about wearing it, changing it and washing it. We tend to pick what we are used to wear or what is trending fashion wise for men. But as you know with everything about fashion it either becomes outdated style wise or it may work for one person and not for somebody else. Choosing the wrong undergarment might affect your health which may include affect your blood circulation and also when regulating temperature both of which play a big role in sperm production. So let’s break them down and give you information that will help you choose right next time your shopping for your inner-wear.

Undergarments 101

When it comes to choosing your undergarments you have the options of briefs, underwear and boxers. Briefs date back decades. They are the type underwear with elastic bands in the front side. The upside of using briefs offer more firmness since the elastic bands usually help everything stay in place. I hope when I say everything you understand which body part am talking about. The downside is that since all men are different physically, the brief elastic bands some time constricted blood circulation among some people. It gets very uncomfortable and many people opted to wearing underwears.

Underwears, are among the most famous undergarments and I bet all of us at one point in life wore one. An underwear doesn’t have the elastic bands that briefs have and that’s where the differences comes in. When picking an underwear its important you consider the fabric material it is made from. Cotton fabric underwears are the best and recommended by doctors since they are easily aerated and absorb any sweat easily. You should leave the luxurious and fancy fabrics such as silks for special occasions. It’s important to also mention that underwears require regular changing. At least twice in a day. And gym underwear should never ever be reused without being clean. The smell will tell you why you shouldn’t try that.

Lastly Boxer shorts, this are the 21st century crème dela crème of men’s innerwear fashion. They provide every type of comfort that makes me wonder why man didn’t invent it earlier. Boxers provide flexibility, aeration and most of them are made of cotton which is a good thing health wise. When it comes to boxers you have the following options the closely fitted and the baggy boxers. It’s important to note that the tighter the boxer the lower fertility helpfulness it will have. With boxers let your curiosity run wild if you want to spice up things go right ahead, she might just like it…

Oh, I know some of you like to go full blown nothing. Its good, flexibility and aeration can’t get better than that. But next time you try this out remember to where trousers or shorts that will be able to conceal your weapon. There is nothing more embarrassing than you little man sticking out in public. Even if it’s in front of a group of ladies, you won’t be able to hide the embarrassment.

Tell us: Which undergarment style do you choose and why?

BEING A PET OWNER. THE AFRICAN EDITION

(First of all this isn’t intended to boil up a harsh comment war against me. It’s just an observation i have noted.)

cat-1773_640    dog-535631_640

Am coming to notice a trend in the amount of cat videos on YouTube, I think they must have surpass the 2 million mark at this point. All the videos shared one common thing that I noticed, the owners of the cat were never Africans, and in very rare cases the pet owners were from the black community. Which raised the question, is it that the black community, especially Africans don’t know how to treat pets or that some people (the other races) have too much time to bond with their pets?????

There are certain animals in Africa that will never be seen as pets, mostly reptiles. Our lists of pets is easily summarized among three popular animals; a dog, a cat and different aquarium fishes; you can see how brief the list is. Americans on the other side have pets ranging from spiders, lizards to snakes. First of all who pets a snake? It doesn’t talk, it doesn’t play and I have never seen a girl coming into a house and say, “Oh this is your python? I love pythons”.

Culturally in Africa a snake is one of those animals that if both of you meet somewhere, one of you will either get hurt or lose their life that day. Yes, it’s the rule of the land. You shouldn’t pet an animal that might one day eat you or bite you and inject a good amount of poison that will either kill you or a part of your body will be separated from the rest of you.

Back to pet videos, we don’t take such videos with our pets because our pets know that we aren’t that close. White people usually let their dogs lick them all over their face, Pause, THAT’S VERY DISGUSTING. If my dog one day does that to me, that will be the day it will be sold to a new owner who can entertain the Bulls***. An African dog knows better not to do that. Even if you give it a beef steak it will wag its tail. Which is the appropriate Thank You from a dog and not licking you.

We define close with our pets as a gentle rub, taking a walk outside or with a lazy cat you can watch the TV together. We don’t teach our pets how to say Thank You like a human. I came across a video of a cat saying NO NO NO like a human. That was really freaky. We let our pets be the animals they have evolved over those years to be. ANIMALS. Not an intelligent version of their species.

So now imagine that in the year 2015, Cats are already Saying NO NO NO and Dogs aren’t afraid to lick you in the public. At this pace.20 years from now they might just form an Animal Union with a board full of animals so that they can sue the uncaring African owner.

Kibera Street Artists United

Kibera is one of Kenyan slums and the biggest. In it are very talented individuals who just need a way to make their  talent blossom. Under a youth project dubbed #SanaaKwaMtaa and #SlumTalkShow, the youth of kibera are gettin a chance to communicate their own views about their home KIBERA in a way that the International news agencies don’t showcase. There is a great sense of unity everywhere, you just have to look harder to see it and appreciate it.

This are the photos of the day’s occurence,
