Mumbo Jumbo

Mumbo Jumbo

A Private look into Human/World Affairs:

This in many ways, is very much, personal musings, on my part. To explain this better, is to say that, it is first in all, written in a form of speech, that one could call Anglaise. Anglaise, is a kind of English, very much today in all, many would associate even, as being Kenyan English or even Portuguese English too really {as with this referring even, to just how many a Portuguese person in all, does speak English actually: like the average Kenyan too really}.

Anglaise though, is not a serious form of English perhaps, it associated truly, with mumbling, speaking lowly, showing ones exasperation even, or even truly, simply speaking ones mind freely, and on just about anything too really. In many ways, it is a form of English in all, that truly in all again, separates the city of Nairobi in Kenya, from the rest of Kenya too really, but interestingly enough, it is a form of English too in all, that was once used in Kenyan Government circles {or what they do call ‘Serikali’ too really}, and used seriously even, such that in all, it truly did lead even, to the fall/collapse of Kenya in itself (and in many ways too really) {as with perhaps, Government Officials, speaking freely or with exasperation, and on just about any topic asked on}. In many ways too, and as with Kenyan Government, a form of English in all, that came even, to be associated with the Luo tribe in Kenya somewhat, as with perhaps, its members in all, having come to be expertly known, in mumbling aloud but clearly, on just about anything out there {meaning again, it was used in a mumbling form by members of the Luo tribe, to clearly even, talk on just about anything, but using in all again, a rather loud voice too that is}.

In many ways though, Anglaise to some of us, and as with what I am writing right now even, is simply about mumbling, or showing exasperation even, and not in all again, a true Language in all actually, as many of the natives perhaps, of Nairobi today even, might attempt to have one believe: in that, believing oneself an expert on this form of English, makes one truly in all again, a Clinically Mad person in all truly {and as with even, Mental Illness, rather prominent in Nairobi too really, and not outside it either}.

I on the otherhand, am going to mumble or express freely, myself, with regards to many a thing out there that might be of interest, to many another person too even really.

First off, is to speak on the ‘word’ ‘Mumbo Jumbo’. What exactly is ‘Mumbo Jumbo’? In many ways, it is actually not, a Swahili term in all, but truly again in all, having White Southern African origins as with White Southern Africans, using this ‘word’ often, to refer to anything having to do, with Black Africans {and especially even, Black African Religious practices or Medical practices too even really}, but then on the otherhand in many ways truly, going back into their homes, to truly even, analyze, everything a Black African told them and in the hopes truly, of benefiting/profiting, from such Knowledge in all {in many ways, one should know that White African populations in all, and in Africa too that is, tend to associate mainly, with Black Africans, and not Brownskinned Africans either} [And with Brownskinned Africans, highly sticking even, to their Tribal/Tribe formations and as with regards to anything in all truly (and as in speaking even of, Swaziland too that is)}.

To refer on the otherhand, to ‘World Affairs’ is to in many ways even, speak of the average daily man/woman, and not only with regards, to ‘Mumbo Jumbo’ itself perhaps {as in something of interest heard that is}, but on an Intellectual level perhaps, speaks of viewing the average person in all out there, from three main perspectives:

  1. That of the Human Condition (and speak too even really, of not only Human Aesthetics, but also Aesthetics in all having to do for instance, with how one, generally presents themselves in all truly) {and as in speaking again of, hairstyles perhaps, or fashioning too even really}.
  2. Human Configuration (and in many ways even, speaking of just how the average person out there, thinks about solving perhaps, just about any problem faced) {and speak too really, of the Technicalities to it all actually (as in even wondering, whether to murder a person perhaps, by knife, or by gun on the otherhand too really)}.
  3. Stature: Stature in many ways, speaks of Human Nature, and speak too even really, of whom one in all, could very well consider, the winner, in just about any given problem out there actually {as with watching with jealousy even, Pete Sampras kiss Maria Sharapova, or even again truly, reading the Forbes Billionaire list in all, and wondering truly even, whom showered favour on any of them, and in attaining their wealth, or why even, you believe, you are truly in all, their equal actually}.

The above in all ways, is what they do truly call even, ‘World Affairs’ and when you do hear of a number of World Leaders in all, getting together really {and under the Banner of ‘World Trade’ too even}, they are actually getting together, to speak about You, whom you are, and what you do even {and as with regards truly, to the three points mentioned above actually}. In many ways even, ‘World Affairs’, once truly about Advancement or Progress even {and as with ‘Human Affairs’ too that is}, has truly in all, turned into a Popularity Contest actually, and as based on the three points mentioned above {and with Big Mansions in all, and Sex with Rude Women too, seemingly at the very top even, of the rewards in all, showered, on those who apparently do come out tops, in this Popularity Contest in all (and as based, on the three points mentioned above too that is)}.

What exactly though, are ‘Human Affairs’? To speak of Progress or Advancement, is to not only speak openly perhaps, but awkwardly too even really. In the past, this spoke even, of ‘Human Innovation’, and as with talk in all too even, of Prize winning perhaps, Copyright Infringement, and even Cultural theft in all too really, and as compared truly even, to a rather new definition in all {Portuguese even} of ‘Human Affairs’ {that being, speak of Truth or Dare in all too really} {and that in all even, the simple task of buying oneself a Meal, has turned to one, of Truth or Dare even (and as with Poor Services in all, or even, Hate speech too on the otherhand), and as with stating again that in the past, ‘Human Affairs’ truly lay with ‘Human Innovation’ in all (and as with attempting even, to simply better ones general community in all, and without recompense too in all really)}.

As a result of living in a World today, where Human/World Affairs are defined as above {Truth or Dare} {and not ‘Human Innovation’ either}, one does find that, at the very least even, the end result of all this, as being pure even, Hatred between Human Beings out there {and as with regards even simply, to talk in all even, of the Human Condition (and who out there perhaps, has better Hair or even, better Skin, than the other too really)}.

In many ways, the end result has been a World, that has stopped existing at the Local level even, and truly too, gone International, but with regards, to many a person out there, competing with his Neighbour in all, on just whom truly, is truly the most Popular of them out there {and not, the most Ingenious either} {and Ingenious too, as with speak of ‘Human Innovation’ in all that is}.

The reason for my writing all this {and as with exasperation too perhaps really}, is that, someone out there, is attempting truly, to have me deny myself {that is, have me deny my true Identity in all actually}. In many ways, someone out there, decided that a true Italian, or a true German even, truly looked like or behaved even, like Sylvester Stallone, or even David Hasselhoff too really, and in many ways even, leaving me to explain, why I do come off, as being German, or Italian too even really {and to many an insecure coloured person too really, with obsessions of calling me, a ‘White boy’ in all really}.

How again perhaps, do I explain that I like German, French or Italian stuff {and would even, save lots of money, to watch a Pavarotti Concert in Italy} {but not attend a Prince concert in all even, and in Nairobi too really}.

In all again is to say that, the above way of defining ‘Human/World Affairs’ {and as based around Truth or Dare} {and Truth/Dare as said, to be Human Competitiveness in all even}, has led even, to Cultural Theft itself {and as with ‘deep questions’ even, of whom truly did invent ‘Rock n Roll’ (and whom again, did not)} {or even crazily enough that, White people can’t dance but Brownskinned people on the otherhand, apparently can}, and in many ways even, attempts in all, to deny me as being a true European/Italian, and in most ways really {as with claiming even perhaps, I even,more than most Europeans out there, know truly what, European Humour is (and it is not, David Hassellhoff or Gerard Depardieu either)}.

Having said all this, is to speak perhaps, of the attempts in all of Humanity today, to rise above the very many Truth or Dare problems in all, that do limit them, in attempting even, to gain any form of Success actually {and as with even truly, having to beg ones Parents for Money in all, or even truly again, wondering whether the local Bus Driver in all, will arrive on time or even truly, leave before the appointed leaving time in all actually} {this as compared perhaps, to ‘Human Innovation’ in all, and a ‘Parental Abuse Center’ too, or even again, a Website perhaps, to complain in all, about errant Busdrivers in all too really}.

When many out there, hear today, that someone out there, is said to be ‘Deep’ in all actually {and as with being Intellectual too even really}, they are actually said to be as such because, they truly even perhaps, speak on ‘Human/World Affairs’ today, highly based around Truth or Dare {and the three points in all, mentioned above too really} {that in all, living life today, is rather difficult even and as based around Truth or Dare that is, and as in saying again that, attempting to get any form or kind of help too really, is Herculian task (and of the Truth or Dare variety too really)} {but with someone ‘Deep’ out there again (or Street even), having figured all this out, and in most ways really}.

As a result again of all this, one does find that the present World we live in, is suffering in all, from an enormous bout of Jealousy/Envy even {as in even truly, all this perhaps again, truly even, the root cause of HiV/Aids actually (and as a Psychological condition)}, and as with stating that, Human Beings today, are truly sick with regards, to attempting to win any form even, of Formal Recognition actually {a man walks into a cafeteria and if the Waitress is good or rather kind to him even, he apparently even, has come out a winner in life itself too really}. In all, a World with many obsessed with winning acclaim at all costs even, as with speak truly, of which Ethnicity in all out there perhaps, is the Coolest, the Brightest, the Meanest, or even the Sharpest too really {and apparently, with Italians even, coming out at the very top of all this } {it must be mentioned though, I don’t identify myself as Italian in this way, but perhaps truly again, from the perspective in all, of claiming Italian Christianity, to be superior in all again, to all other forms of Religion even, seen out there in all truly}.

In all again, the true end of all this, has been the creation even, of many an International Identity/World, that many out there, take to be true or real {and as with Policy or Law frameworks too even really}, and International Identities, associated truly, with being a show-off even {and with the attempt in all, to just feel good about oneself and with regards, to the envies and jealousies in all even, arising truly, from the prevalent Social Games seen out there, and of Truth or Dare even, and in just about, every minute of our lives in all too really}.

In many ways, all this has given birth to what they do term even, Alternative Media actually, and Media too apparently, rather Private in its ways {and as with an Underground Mixtape perhaps}, and in all ways even (and unknown to most too really), the most prevalent form of media in all, to be seen out there actually {that is, Media in all, used by the majority to define themselves with regards to recognizability, and in what today even, is deemed, a Mean, Selfish, and Dangerous/Unsafe World in all too really}.

To make all this rather clearer is to say that, Alternative Media out there, includes stuff such as that by Lenny Kravitz, ‘the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ even (and apparently representing Brown America too rerally), or even, Tina Turner {and beliefs in all again that Brownskinned Women, have no true personality in all too really}.

Yet even, this has become even more of interest, as someone in all again, has attempted to turn Alternative Media, into what some do call, Social Studies in all even {and as with a Phd Research Student, and in a University out there somewhere really, doing a Research project on the impact, of Reggae/Dancehall Music, and on Jamaican Politics for instance too really}. Even then, this gets much more interesting as with the case even that, someone in all, has attempted truly give Alternative Media, its very own History actually {and as with perhaps even, who was truly, the first Rapper of all time actually}. Apparently again {as with what they do term Trans-Atlantic Identities even}, Rap Music actually began (or has its roots even), with the Woodabe tribe in Western Africa {but with North Americans again, apparently, adding some more rhythm, to it all really} {what is been said here again is that, there does exist unknown to most, a Trans-Atlantic Identity, International in nature, which has many in all, identifying truly, with North America, Western/Central Africa, the Carribean, and South America somewhat even, as being their true homes in all really} {meaning again, that Slavery in all, Trans-Atlantic, has its very roots perhaps, in African (and European/White) Alternative Media} {and that in all again, truthfully even, Slavery, Trans-Atlantic, was probably born of ‘Alternative Media’ in all (European even) (and perhaps even as with stating that Rap Music in all, calling for the killings of Tupac Shakur or the Notorious B.I.G, is the kind of Alternative Media in all again, that should not only be obviously Censured, but speaks even again, of not only the true History of the World, and International, and as seen even perhaps, in the last 300 years (and since the French Revolution in all truly did end), but also in all really, the kind of ‘Alternative Media’ in all even, that could truly even, lead to Slavery in itself actually)}.

Other more common Alternative Media based Identities (and gone International too that is), do include, TransNational Identities {and of many a Wealthy European in all perhaps, choosing to live in several Countries at one time perhaps} {and a practise too really, beginning, with Napolean II in all actually}, or even, Asian and African {as with they two International Identities in all today, no longer Continental (as in Televised Asian/African personalities today, not genuinely African in all ways even), but actually truly, Identities in all, based on Alternative Media actually (and including even, simply acting pretentious), and in all ways again, used to attempt in all, to create a form of International Recognition, that one in all again can use to Survive on, (and in this known/said in all, Mean or Dangerous World even, we do live in today actually}.

In many ways again for most out there, and without the ability in all, to create, International Identities to survive on (and simply make life easier in all ways really) {and including even, the ability to get easy Sex in itself really} {and for those again, who deem it even, of utmost importance in all}, they in all, find themselves falling into depressive states, that in all again, does speak even of, one talking to themselves lowly, or in a mumbling fashion too really (or even with exasperation in many ways actually), as with stating that, forms of English such as Anglaise in all, have truly in all ways even, become the norm today actually {and as with being an expert in Anglaise perhaps, helping one recover from all this (if spoken mainly to oneself that is) and with Women again, the largest sufferers even, of Mental Health diseases, arising truly, from all this (the inability, to be recognized in most ways in the World in all truly)}.

As a result of finding myself acknowledging this {that one in all, can be rather Intelligent, but without an International Identity to help identify one in all again, one probably would not being able to get any form of employment desired in all truly} {and as with stating again that, getting a Job today, has nothing to do with how well qualified one is, but perhaps truly, with having some French or English in ones ancestry even, or even perhaps, being ‘Well spoken’ in all again, or even truly, being acquainted even, with a Powerful/Famed Historical figure too even really}.

There are those, ingenious somewhat, in dealing with all this. Take Russell Peters for instance, and his speaking on the Human Condition in many ways truly, but in many ways too again really, promoting Indian/Asian Identity, to many out there such that,. Asians in all, can now be considered even, as being the Coolest of them all {that is, Black people are no longer Cool really}. In many ways, this speaks of all this being good for Indian/Asian Business {and as with speak even, of many a ‘White person’ out there perhaps, whom for the very first time in all again, becoming aware of whom Asians in all are, and in more delicate ways than one really}.

In many ways again, I am perhaps attempting to create an International Identity even, for many out there to identify me with [and as with my mumbling even, all over this post in all truly}. In all truly is to say that, Internationally, I am not Kenyan {or from Nairobi either} {as truly even, most people don’t recognize me as such even}, but perhaps even, the attempt in all again, to do for myself what Chris Rock did do in all, for ‘Black people’ actually {make them look rather intelligent even, and on an average scale too that is}.

In some ways perhaps, I have attempted to create such International Identities, more of the Rock Star mold actually {and as with perhaps even somewhat, being identified by this form of Music actually} [and speak too even really, of Lenny Kravitz or Jimi Hendrix too really} {yet on anotherside again, my wanting to be associated even, with the Tennis World in all actually}. In other ways, one does find that there are some even, who attempt to create International Identities in all, heavily based around certain Ancestral figures in all again, and as in finding even, Inspiration in their ways truly (and as with speak even, of the modern Indian and Gandhi too really), and in the attempt in all, to create some form of International Repute in all again {and as with even perhaps, how many an African in the old days, did attempt to rise in the Western/European World in all too really, as heavily based around, adhering even, to the wisdom of a famed Trickster/Ancestor, seen in many an African culture actually (and as with even, what many African Congressional Meets and during Colonialism too even really, truly were in all about) (how in all that is, to present themselves in general, to Whites/Europeans in all truly)}.

In all though, I can say truly, my International Identity in all, is that of a Moor actually (and a Republican Moor that is) {and a Moor too, more of the French Republic actually} {and with being Republican on my part, all about being a heavy believer even, in the power of ‘Angels’, as with they able even to get one through many things actually}. What this in all again speaks of actually, is truly presenting oneself in all, and to others truly {and Internationally that is}, based around Alternative Media in all, arising and associated truly, with what they do call even, the ‘Ancien Regime’ {and as seen that is, in French History actually}. That in all, many of France’s most famed figures actually, are not too different, from the Moor in all truly, and fine examples of French Alternative Media in all even, includes the likes of some of the works of Alexandre Dumas (such as the ‘Count of Sainte-Hermaine’), Chretien de Troyes (and the French Figure in all, I am most similar to perhaps) (and as with Alternative Media too that is), William Bouguereau, or even the likes even, of Jean-Baptiste Lully {and an International Identity too, that to most too even, often comes off as being Italian-French-American in its ways really} {and as with this Alternative Media in all, a part even, of what was termed ‘the Aetolian’ in all too really}.
