After Graduation

Apparently you have to rejoice and be glad after passing another stage in life, graduating from the university. To others it is a milestone they were unable to achieve and see it important to share the limelight, while others who were able to pass through try to relive their hey days. It is all fun and excitement. Goats and chicken get killed in honor of the honor you got. You get lost in the fact that after four years you made it.

That is until Monday morning.

Father: Son we need to talk

Son: .... (kwisha).

Father: It is time you think about what you want next.

Son: …… (still loading)……eh…..

Father: I want you to look for a master’s program, search for a job and get a wife. It is time you became independent and left home to make yours. By the time I was your age I already had a child, a job and a loving wife so it is up to you.

I think I speak for everyone who has experienced this, it is the most akwardest moment in your life. You feel like there is a thousand inch heel shoe you have to fit in.

This cycle is sort of boring, be born, go to school for 16 years, get a job, get married, get kids and wait to die (I have nothing against marrying and having kids).

You never actually get to stop and breathe. Once you are finished with one chapter you move on to the next phase without reflecting.

Of course I am looking for a job (anyone got a job?), of course I am looking for a school (the same one I went sounds ‘nice’) and of course I am looking for a wife (any lady feel like she can fit, send your applications), But I want to live.

It is nice being normal and following a set plan, but that is not me.

I am going to act for a living, maybe buy land and build rental houses (money will come from charity), create my own company, play video games and make it a profession; I will do what I feel and enjoy. I would rather be paid 10 shillings at a job I love than be paid a six figure salary at a job I sit for 9 hours a day.

I know, I know, yes, I will marry and have kids, nobody can live alone (they just have to be crazy sane people). This one part of the life cycle I don't want to miss.

I have to admit, I am happy I Graduated :)

The Most Amazing Story Never Written

(Made on Canva) Alright. We need to write a short film and shoot it by the end of the month. Ok. What story are we telling? What stories excite the masses? I am not too sure. I think drama has been overwritten. Action? You think we can pull it off? We are going to need a budget for that. Not to mention we are going to need a trainer, an action director, a stunt manager, a doctor, practice the stunts, different days for shooting, a good director of photography and fit actors? Hahaha. Why do you think we would need fit actors? You trying to say we can’t find any? From the people we have. I highly doubt it. What would our actors be fighting against? Aliens? They never come to take over the world here. Zombies, our actors would run and leave us alone on the set. Moreover, we couldn’t get it approved. We don’t fight wars and we never have had heroes we can write about. How about we check online? All I found were stories about aliens, zombies and things that would never happen this side of t

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 becau

Men, we need to wake up

(all photos courtesy of Google). The world is evolving. Time is changing. Women are gaining power. Men are seated, watching, waiting for their turn. In the 90s and early 2000s all campaigns were directed at ‘empowering the women’ Do not get me wrong, women were mistreated and suffered under the tyranny of men and their egos. UNICEF created the International Day of the Girl to help end the circle of violence against adolescent girls. It is celebrated on the 11 th of October annually. Education was the major concern and center of debates, and the United Nations felt that it had serious impacts on human and economic aspects of society. Girls worldwide were forced to cook, clean and do other house hold chores while their male siblings went to school and received care and attention from parents. Girls were seen as a curse while boys were seen as a blessing. Men felt proud having a boy while mistreating the poor mother for having a girl. Something needed to
