Frog:

Be kind and tender to the Frog,
And do not call him names,
As "Slimy skin," or "Polly-wog,"
Or likewise "Ugly James,"
Or "Gap-a-grin," or "Toad-gone-wrong,"
Or "Bill Bandy-knees":
The Frog is justly sensitive
To epithets like these.
No animal will more repay
A treatment kind and fair;
At least so lonely people say
Who keep a frog (and, by the way,
They are extremely rare).

The Greatchaser is on a short holiday break and has not forgotten to take his notepad with him.Good stories sometimes comes from strange places and from strange people , that is why  is sometimes advisable to just equip yourself with a laptop and a notepad and just loose yourself to the strange world where nobody knows you.This time,am hibernating somewhere in Africa with all my ears to the ground.Am very much fascinated by the way African films are coming up but also a writer has always been fascinated by the African stories,history and effects our modern world has on this cultural rich continent.

Films like the The last King of Scotland has proved that with just one name,a recognised figure whether in a positive or a negative way,a good script plus a good cast you will come out with a good movie and nobody will feel cheated spending his money for a ticket and an hour plus in a theater.

The script am working on,also has an African side of the story.I dont know yet how deep i want to go there or i just want to to give it an African  tint,but so far its sounding very interesting and am very happy with the way the story is shaping up.More juice on this later.

Ofcos,I will try and keep my blogs up to date,while still on the move because i want to share my ideas and my travelling experineces with the other  writers.The down size of of being on the move is that  you are not always connected ,just like they say,you can't have them all.

Catch you soon,in the mean time,just feed my chick for me.    

I like short stories,not fairy tales

You know those short,funny stories sometimes without any relevancy in them but still funny? Those kinds.I write them too and sometimes i would let somebody else read them just to check their reaction. I would tell just by the first reaction whether that story is funny or not.Some people would just laugh and say it  sounds funny and some would just shove it back to me and say that they have no idea what to think. And they are right because that is what some stories are about.Not know what to think but keep you thinking.The stories are irrelevant and has no meaning at all but they have a certain concept. For example:

 Living Someone else's dream

The only table in the middle of the room was turned upside down and the inside was turned outside.

Someone was trying to wear a pair of pants which were too tight to fit.

The questions had no answers, the riddles were not unfolded because they were not yet told.

"Which one of you is Mr Man"? Asked a stranger.

He is trying to be Mr Man or...is he Mr Man already?

He was still resting on the table which was still turned upside down and the inside was still outside and the pants were still too tight to fit.

A stranger's hand, warm and tender stretched and reached out from the dark side of the room.

He recognised this hand. He reached out, pulled himself up.

He stood up, the table stood upright, the outside became inside and the pants fitted well. He recalled....uhh!!

"I am Mr Man and this is my dream"

He rested his head on the strangers chest, listening to the pounding of her heartbeat. He fell asleep thinking....

Could it be that she...?

Is it that she...?

Is she...?

She.....ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
