Let me start by first saying this post has absolutely nothing to do with technology or business..Last weekend I made a decision to take my girlfriend of two and a half years and ask her to marry me. I'm now told that this is just the beginning of a very long journey,you're probably thinking I'm talking about married life,that isn't the case. Let me fill you in what should be an interesting journey,African's have traditions associated with marriage,each tribe has different customs that are associated with this ceremony. My girlfriend is from the Kikuyu tribe,one of the largest tribes in the country, my research tells me they have about 6 steps before one takes one of their women away,each step involves time and money. Think of it as a business acquisition, with every process you get closer and spend more money, at the end of it all you have the woman and are saddled with a debt you and your beloved will be paying of for the better part of your life.

My apologies, I'm making this sound like its hell on earth, its not, when you come to think of it's worth every minute of cent you spend, after all you have your whole life to spend with this woman you've chosen,so who cares if her parents make you buy 10 goats and part with a few thousand dollars, it's only money. So here I am preparing,studying,psyking myself,to embark on 2 journeys, one is short lived and prepares me for the long one, I hope I'm ready.
