The Bonafide Rover

"And because nobody -least of all my dad- really understands being a writer can be a job, a heated exchange would ensue. And then he will ask me if I know any current generation writer (not the Ngugis and the Mejas) who is living the 'good' life. I will want to tell him about Ted Malanda.

But then I'm not sure he really owns those airplanes he snapchats in every time. He is so cool though. Then I'll think of Jackson Biko, he wrote another novel called THURSDAYS (I haven't read it. Financial crisis, long story). Surely he can't be doing that bad. You can't write two successful novels and still not live a good life. But I would still lose this argument anyway. Throwing my arms up in defiance, I will tell him how this is my life, I choose what to do with it. And as they would tell me, I will graduate when I want.

But before then, I must become the caretaker of Plot, and then later on, I'll consider the student union Secretary-General position comrades have been pushing me for. Nyaky this duty is not yours. Prepare to be ousted. To the members of Plot, I'm telling them to believe not in my ability to bring change but in theirs, that where we are many we are one, to those who will stand with Nyaky, we will defeat them! (Yeah yeah I know you think I sound like Obama but isn't it obvious? We're related dimwit!) And to those whom might stand with me through that noble quest, may they find peace, happiness and fulfilment."
Enjoy.
