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...

Tribute 10th October 2022 Death is cruel. It is sudden and shocking. It just happens. One minute life goes on as usual. The next minute a life is gone. It was hard hearing about your passing. I had never dreamed or imagined it would happen. When I heard it, I paused. I got confused and then I felt drained. It was shocking to me. Knowing that I tried to get confirmation. I called all your numbers to try and get a hold of you. I still could not believe it. I am still not believing it. You were the last person I would have thought would pass on. The last time we spoke you were progressing on with your life. You were working hard on your dreams and you had moved out of your home. I encouraged you to detail your life and record it on your blog. I was hoping to continue to assist you. However, I guess it was your time. We never really had a proper goodbye and there are still a lot of things left unsaid. You were brave, courageous, kind, humorous, ambitious, loving, caring, strong-willed ...

Importance of Communication to an Organization

The overall importance of communications is to improve the image of the organization to all the stakeholders involved. The communications strategy target is to create a positive image that allows the organization to maintain good relations with its stakeholders, improve its productivity, cut costs and minimize risks. Communication is a key component to any organization as it promotes motivation within all stakeholders to engage with the organization.

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...

Money Maker

  3 AM!!! 3AM!!? 3 AM in the morning? That when that sweet snooze starts and one goes limp from some deep sleep. You don’t want to move. WHO WAKES YOU UP AT 3 AM IN THE MORNING? It could only be Tony. Here he was. Drunk, rugged and roughed up. Worse still he had come with a taxi all the way? Guess who had to pay? 1,500 shillings for the trip, then another 2,000 shillings to his home. Thank you God there was some money in the house. Worse still he ate all my food from the fridge. He had gone to university, completed. He had done some work. He got work before me and I graduated before him. He was doing alright for himself, paying rent, buying his food, enjoying life and leaving me alone. I don’t know what happened, but I have a feeling he thought there was money, so he didn’t need to work. He started acting like a mad man, jumping over cars, shouting at people just two feet away from him, screaming, rolling around in the dirt, waking people up at 3 am to pay his taxi fare and ste...

Friend zoned

To say I was expecting it to happen, would be a true statement. I knew you liked me. I knew you wanted to be with me. I knew that you had a thing for me. I knew you wanted to be with me. You already were with me, but you wanted more. You wanted to listen to my intimate stories while we cuddled. You wanted us to send each other silly and romantic messages. You wanted us to share each other, but most of all be in love with each other. You wanted us to stop calling each other best friends and become a couple. I pretended not to see it. I pretended I did not notice your feelings. The way you hugged me. The way you touched me. The way you looked at me. The way you were always eager to listen to my stories. You liked me. You adored me. In your eyes I could see that you were planning our future. All I had to do was accept your proposal and ask you out. I did not want us to be together more than friends. I wanted things to remain as they were. I thought things would be weird and awkw...

The Collection

It was one of those days. Working late, because I was forced to. I was leaving the organization and my boss felt it important that I should know who is boss. She never liked me, worse still, I was really good at my work. The gap I was leaving could never be filled. She knew it. I knew it. The project I was working on could have earned her a big promotion, until I made the announcement. She was never going to forgive me for that. I couldn’t care less. I had big dreams and I knew I could not move up in that organization. I left the office, tired and burnt out. I wondered how I was going to wake up early the next day to come back. I was almost considering not coming back, then I remembered I needed a clearance letter from them for my next job. I had to. That night’s supper was bread and water. At least the peanut butter and jam added some ‘spice’. I was almost considering adding some beef cubes or tomato sauce. The life of a bachelor. If my mom found out, she would have move me ba...
