Once upon a time, this certain individual let his creativity flow after being inspired by an unpredictable aspect of beauty in primates by putting pen on paper to create art. To capture the moment which caught his attention (that is of the monkey slowly pushing its backbone to the vertical and standing straight from a slouching position), he drew several monkeys, lined up from left to right, depicting the entire movement in multiple images of the monkey in consequential positions. However, his moment of cherished accomplishment met a disaster as he accidentally stroked a line across the figures he drew, causing a strike-out effect on all the primates. Devestated but desparate at the same time, the poor man tried to manipulate his work by selling the idea of the line being where it is as an indication to this thing he called 'evolution'.

CHAPTER III : DEVOLUTION

As homosapiens, we are supposed to be descendants of monkey-like beings who are possibly the same ancestors to monkeys as we know today. We should be more developed in senses, thought, actions and skills if compared to those members of our family tree of lost generations but as some will say, some things just don't change. This quote goes beyond what the eyes make out physically (as it is an unambiguous fact that many people still resemble chimpanzees) but drills through as deep as how we think and what we do. One man/monkey caused many to stir in awe as he proves that evolution might not have happened among human beings after all. This daring individual bravely defied any plausible theory that we have evolved from monkeys by being one right to the core. Let the details be explained in simple English;
- We take for example, a certain action that monkeys do but humans do in a more sophisicated or developed way; Grooming.
- Monkeys, having fur all over their bodies, groom themselves with their fingers and maybe their tongues in a very primitive way like most mammals do. Part of their 'social culture' also involves grooming other members of their kind using the same method.
- Now humans, we are simply a more developed specimen of monkeys aren't we? As monkeys run their fingers through their fur for grooming, we have combs, mousse, hairgel, hairdryers, etc, etc, etc... and we don't do it for others unless it involves money, that's what salons are for! So yeah, we're evolved in this matter.

OR ARE WE???



Being an author, cameraman, reporter and most importantly cagekeeper, DtG understands if you, the reader, audience, supporter (hopefully), offended party (hopefully not), now find yourself in a state of speechlessness or sheer fascination. Indeed, that is an example of a fully developed homosapien applying methods unbelievably archaic in this age while the people around him embrace the wonders of science (literally). He is a worthy monkey, as he proved that the painting the man did in the first paragraph didn't go wrong after all. Yes, there was a line across which was dubbed evolution as cover-up but evolution in this case takes a different role. The man dabbed a line of evolution by accident and intended all the characters in the pictures to be the same monkeys only in different stances. How accurate that is in this present context as like our monkey of the day has proven, although going through multiple phases of evolution, monkeys will always be monkeys. Hats off, to one undeniably brilliant example, of a monkey through and through.

Here is a tale of which genre is an oxymoron itself as it tells of strong motherly love defied by a virtually unlovingly attitude on the child's side of the context. Fortify your hearts and multiply your hormones of humour as the following words which your mind is about to process may either apply a certain kind of impact on your soul or reflectively, leave a laughable grin on your face for the next few minutes. Read on if you think you can take it...

CHAPTER II : MOTHER AND CHILD CONFUSION

Once upon a time [formula given is, (once upon a time) = (roughly 2 months ago)], a respectable soul bravely challenged the thunderous opposing winds by adopting an unlikely monkey for a child. The mother stretched out a helping hand, the monkey couldn't care less. Day after day, the mother let her efforts pour onto the seemingly hopeless child as she made her attempts of vanquishing the child's bad habits increasingly evident but unsuccesful. An obedient listener the monkey was not. A determined soldier the mother was.

For the giving but not receiving mother, hopes slowly diminished as efforts kept on going but the despite what a monkey he was, the child began to accept the poor lady as a mother periodically... and parasitically. This doesn't give the slightest implication imaginable that he has changed his ways for the better but as words might not enlighten you, an immortalised 'mother and child' moment may.



This tale cannot be concluded with the words 'happily ever after' as not only has this tale got a long way to go before meeting its last page but also, as things are the way they are, it is sadly safe to accept the fact that the child will never defy his own defiance and will always be on the negative half of this two-person story despite the voluntary mother being what every good life-giver should be. The mother is an idol considering the impossible task she is pursuing valiantly and as for the child, his monkeyish antics has scaled heights never thought of and in return has earned him a rank among the monkeys that grace this domain. Respect the mother, salute the monkey.

Today, out of a certain sort of initiative that came about from virtually an inexistent plain, DtG introduces the 'Monkey Cage'. To those who knew of DtG and his blogs of past, they can bid farewell to his personifications of this and that as this is a fresh start which should have been the original start since the moment the first key was hit with this very same piece of writing medium set upon the eyes of yours truly. Behold the Monkey Cage, a place where monkeys are recognised be it in positive or insanely negative manners, all for the fun of it as DtG likes it.

Delays should not be an integral part of this post as they may have been in the previous weblogs so here goes the first two inclusions into the cage, established monkeys among the community, the one and only (as they claim), DX. So here goes;

CHAPTER I : THE HORSE AND THE RAPIST

Donuts are sweet. Donuts are yummy. Donuts are fulfilling. Donuts are so this and so that that some people simply rot without them. A fan of the Simpsons would know that silly ol' Homer Simpson worships donuts to an undefined extent that can only be pictured in the 2-dimensional world. However, today two people broke that horizon by proving that an obsession of that level can be transferred onto the earth, wind and fires of human life. For the sake of the self-consciousness of these 2, they shall only be referred to with their nicknames of Horse and Rapist or to make things easier, they shall be labelled Monkey1 and Monkey2 deservingly.

Basically, here is how the monkey-title-winning moment came and left.
- Monkey2 buys some donuts which he really loves and has been craving for but has limited access to.
- Monkey2 tries to tempt Monkey1 with no intention of sharing and infuriates him right down to his undulating bowels.
- Monkeys 1 and 2 fight over the donuts (this involves hitting, screaming, chasing, monkeying, begging and so forth) which ended in Monkey1 gaining posession of the last donut.
- Monkey1 squeezes the emotion out of Monkey2 (whose emotions towards the remaining donut which is rightfully his is beyond the scope of words) by tinkering with the piece of pastry hazardously.
- Everything kinda repeats itself and the ending lies within the video embedded below.


So there you have the very 1st inclusions of the Monkey Cage who rightfully deserve their place among monkeys of our generation for their brilliant efforts in doing what not many have attempted before ; making pastry comedic and dramatic at the same time. Even the greatest of movie directors always have a rough path laid out for them whenever these 2 genres are combined together so the Horse and the Rapist definitely deserve a significant toast for bringing us closer to our ancestors of past eons. Long live these monkeys, long live monkeys.
