This place.......... Amazon

When one hears or reads about this word, mixed thoughts come into the mind. For some it is that place where the future is built, where many careers have been shaped, where fortunes have been made through sales of volumes of books, journals and novels. Those of this school of thought agree that students make stop overs here in a bid to complete that assignment, that term paper and that defense paper due at the eleventh hour, a reprieve to many.

On the other hand, there is a completely different relation of this word-Amazon to a community, that of #Egertonians. Again, a subdivision of thought comes in from this lot of people. A part of them take this Amazon to mean a place where the weekend is made complete, that nerves are cooled after a whole day or week of serious studies, or better still after being roughed up by a cat or after being dumped at the peak of "love". To them, it is a place where boys, sorry, men get to meet and have one or two for the road, where they speak in one voice- that of Nakupenda beer.

The other half is that of the school of thought that Amazon is that place, where the course of one's future is altered from that of seeking God to that of seeking earthly pleasure derived from a bottle or two. Again, it represents a place where guys who were so cool and composed, so clear in the boundary between them and alcohol get to conform to a new lifestyle, that of getting high each evening or weekend. That place where guys are welcomed to the world of fantasy , where addiction is brewed unconditionally, where the advent to unfortunate happenings such as indiscriminate sex and orgasms. Wallets are flattened here unknowing and items given to the lowest bidders so as to have another bottle and lastly, a place where dance styles such as lap dance, bendover and Gangnam styles are learn t under the influence.

Whats your school of thought on this word/name Amazon?
