Kenya Tweets
Over some time I've been listing Kenyan tweeps on my twitter account but recently a brand new listing site called Kenya tweets have dwarfed my efforts to the power of probably 1000.
Kenya tweets describes itself as "Effective Search for Kenyans On Twitter" visit their blog here
Though no complaints from me. It's cool I've always wanted to track down Kenyans on twitter especially techies, alumni, bloggers(who btw serve to be the most informative and interesting follows)
So for now just to stack up my list I find myself going to the Kenya tweets web page crawling through it and adding the tweeps to my twitter list, this sort of like plagiarism but that doesn't apply to listing... I hope.

Performance Anxiety ¿
EUREKA I've got it now I know how to define it after so long, let me say it... its called performance anxiety, yap another one of my self diagnostics on my character.
To be totally honest I'm not an attention seeker probably the polar opposite. I hate attention... wait don’t get me wrong there's a fame whore in all of us if we look hard enough or maybe it might just rear it's ugly head when you least expect it but not me nope definitely not me.
I ware black because I’m able to just be invisible blend and hopefully disappear a trait that my bro says will cause me to miss a couple of beers at the pub when rounds are being dished out and the excuse: hey we didn’t see you there.. (Not that I drink, just a funny example from my bro).
So when I wake up and find that 300 people are following me on twitter or my blog stats hike by just a bit or even a person I deeply admire reading or even following my blog I get a slight shudder and suddenly freeze probably happens to the best of us but I’ll probably get used to it for now those give me some shockers.
If you want to know you have the same issues here are some symptoms that exhibit X (me) has shown…
• Disable your Facebook wall – this says don’t talk to me or just “I like mpango wa inbox” depends.
• Get the feeling that some one is following you on twitter – this is called paranoia and can lead to shock every time you see the follower count go up.
• Wear all black all the time like a Goth (In Africa??) – this says I don’t want to be seen, I’m about to rob a bank or I’m an Ester fan and I belong to the finger of god cult church also depends.
• You feel like you’ve won an Oscar when someone tweets your blog.
• Miss three free throws just because many some chicks are cheering for you – unrelated but this is possible
• Blog and update your MySpace page like people actually go there
• Be cold and distant to the only girl who actually likes and gives a dam about calling.
• Have stage fright.
• Quit going to social gatherings because you may end up feeling inadequate.
• Call yourself an emo.
But strangely I'm a good public speaker, well at least I like to think that. How the two relate I don't quite know yet.
PS Don't take the first two google definitions of the title to be what I ment ;)
