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 :)

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 ...

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...

Thank You

You know it is always very easy to take things for granted because we never know what we have until it’s gone. That must be one of the most cliché lines you will ever read. However, it is very important in this context. The main reason being, I want to say thank you. My life has not be relatively easy. I have gone through a lot of problems and I have the worst reactions to different situations. However, no matter how tough the challenge, in some way I have always come out of it, learned and moved forward. It is hard to explain, but I know it is because of people praying and wishing me well. People have told me that I am going to be great one day, and because of their support and love, I keep building myself with time. If you have followed my story, you will find that I have grown, thanks to the people I have met and interacted with. An example is high school. I used to fail my exams. My first term I was in the bottom 10. It was rough for me and it seemed like I was going ...
