Love Lost 3


Back in primary, those many years ago, I was in love. For some strange reason I have never understood why I am fascinated with ladies who have a lighter shade of skin than mine (believe me I love being dark). She was pretty in every way possible. She had a kind heart and treated everyone nicely.
We started school together in class one. At the moment I was not very interested because I had a good thing going on with marbles and pushing tires across the estate. However, I did recognize her kind heartedness and beautiful smile. She awed me to no end.
In class three she taught me how to swim. To learn more from her I always kept by her side and at times would throw my hands just to 'accidentally' touch her.
She transferred to another school in class 5, and I was left a shell of a boy. I missed her badly and constantly kept thinking about her. I know I was in class 5 and naive, but I felt I had lost something special.
I was happy when one day we went to swim and I saw her coming out with her new schoolmates, leaving to go to school. Naturally I said halo and sadly said goodbye. I thought that was it, so I continued with life, loving other people, making more friends, doing my K.C.P.E and joining high school.
As my high school years dragged on I met my former schoolmate from my primary school. I never believe in Déjà Vu, but God must have planned to reset and rekindle a fire I had once lost. My friend said he knew her and that she was now the toughest person to approach (being beautiful and all, one has to be tough to avoid jokers and players). I was happy and skipped a long the rest of the day (my friends nearly took me to hospital thinking I had lost it).
So I planned to visit her. I got to know her place, but I decided to wait awhile. I was not prepared. Men know you do not just go, you prepare just like the Spartans did in the movie 300.
After completing my high school, I gathered enough courage and went to her house and proposed.
She rejected me.

Why an antagonist is important to a story

  (Made on Canva) Who is an antagonist? An antagonist is the villain of a story. It can be a human being, a natural phenomenon like a hurricane, a disease, an animal, an idea or a fictional character like a dinosaur. The aim of the antagonist is to create chaos and wreak havoc while creating obstacles for the protagonist (hero). The protagonist has to find a solution to the uncomfortable situation caused by the antagonist. In story-telling, the antagonist propels the story forward by creating an inciting incident that forces the protagonist to go on a journey to remedy the situation and restore balance. In the Dark Knight (2008), the Joker creates chaotic situations in the city of Gotham with the aim of killing the Batman. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thanos is looking for rings that will give him ultimate power and make him the supreme being of the universe. Why are antagonists not popular? Being an antagonist is not very appealing, especially in the acting business b...

Blame the media?

(All photos courtesy of google.co.ke) Ever since 2013, the world has been taking a spiral downfall to an abyss of where children as young as 12 to 13 years of age are drinking alcohol, men are becoming useless and full time drinkers of alcohol, girls are growing up wanting to be socialites, racism is still prevalent, terrorism, social media vices, and general pollution of morals and values. This is according to my opinion and experiences. To me, this generation is lost and we need a revolution to wake us up. In my home country looks to me as the worst hit. We are all fighting illegal and second generation alcohol, and yet on Monday night clubs are open in Nairobi and people are drinking till the next Monday. Promotions and events are being held by alcoholic making companies and nobody is asking how they affect us. An event was cancelled because there was no alcoholic drink. I believe if we were to look at the budgets of people, almost 60 percent is going to alcohol, which ...

I LOVE DUBSTEP!!!

(NB: ALL PHOTOS COURTESY OF GOOGLE & VIDEOS FROM YOU TUBE) The truth is I do not know why I love dubstep.  Whenever I listen to a dubstep song I want to stand up and dance. I was introduced to dubstep by a friend called Kibui. He came up to me and asked me to listen to UKF (A Dubstep recording group). It was 'love at first sound'. I could not get the song out of my head and from then on I became a huge dubstep fan. I have been listening to dubstep ever since the beginning of 2012 and I have been able to collect and listen more than 1000 dubstep songs. I created a specific folder for them. My favorite dubstep song is Crave you by Flight Facilities (Adventure's club remix). The reason I love it is because of its beats and it always uplifts me whenever am having a bad day or the lecturer has given me a tough assignment and it’s due the next day. I know some of you are wondering what is dubstep? Well I will give you the definition and a brief history. Ac...
