Say Something?

February is almost coming to an end! Part of me feels it is dragging and the other part thinks it is going by at a fast pace. Hmmm… Well, it has been quite uneventful, peaceful and filled with a few pleasant surprises. I am having a mad fling with my first love! No, it isn’t a person. It is a thing. Something I am enjoying immensely and so glad for it because it has helped pass the days away. There is always a few surprises that come with every year, no?
I guess I should let everyone know that I am unemployed until further notice. It’s been quite a few months. That’s what happens when your brother is around and can fill your place when the need arises. Since I am unemployed, I spend most of my days trying to learn a few things, reading, working on the mad fling because it needs serious nurturing and trying not to get fat! I am at a peaceful state of mind. Time will come when I’ll be filled with work and such so it is good to be drifting in unknown directions at the moment. I wouldn’t compare myself to the proverbial fart that’s lost in the wind though, no. I don’t feel lost as yet because this is the life of a 20 – something – year old.
Lately, Say Something by Imagine Dragons and Christina Aguilera has been playing over and over in my head, it is only logical for it to be the background song to this post. I had to say something because it has been awhile! It is one of my songs for the moment. I hope y’all like it.



Oops, I almost forgot. I FINALLY joined Instagram! Yay me!!!

My Facebook Film.

As I was going through my twitter stream, I came across a question from Hootsuite asking whether we’d shared our Facebook films and NO instantly popped into my head. Most of you know Facebook turned 10 last week and as a way of celebrating that milestone; users got to make their Facebook films and share with friends.
Making this film brought back so many nostalgic memories and moments. I joined in 2007 and back then it was a little restricted unlike nowadays. It has gone through a lot of changes which I think are for the better. I know I bellyache and contemplate leaving sometimes but I am still in love with it. It is the only place so far where you can share a multitude of pictures and have interesting conversations with people you’ve never met yet feel like old friends you’ve known for years. I find it a lot more friendly than twitter which is cold in my opinion.
There was a time when Facebook was all about babies! Every picture you came across was of a child or one of your friends holding their baby bump. That period made me promise not to get off Facebook until I posted a picture of little Shanah. LOL. I hope it remains until then because little Shanah is yet to find a daddy to help with the process of her coming into the world.
I unfriended a lot of people too in these 7 years. I used to unfriend people who talked smack about people I liked in 5/10 posts, those who wrote like they have never been to school i.e yhue, xul…Really? And the ones who enjoyed the poking button far too much than they should have at my expense. Now, I don’t have to do all that. No. All I do is uncheck the ‘show in news feed’ tab and voila…no posts from culprits who fall in those categories popping up in my feed.
Much as I am less of an addict these days; Facebook still has me wholeheartedly. I still love it and until little Shanah comes into the world, I shall continue to be a user. So, in the spirit of its celebration, I am sharing my Facebook Film with y'all. I don't know what formula Mark and his team used but I believe most of my good moments are missing.
