How a Russian taught me to be patient and FB bullied its way in




Iv just been wondering over the past few days what life's turned out to be and what it was some years ago. No this is not going to be a post about reminiscence or glories of the past. As Ozzy says
"Don't tell me stories, cause yesterdays glories
have gone away, so far away"


Well so here goes life's been tough im working my ass off for below par wages. Though to be honest im happy , i see an opportunity and well its up to me how i make it or break it , at least i control it. And it does feel good to get those Neurons working again and i can almost feel the fat in my brain melt. I am not the only one facing this, in conversation with my Russian friend with really long pretty legs (whos broke like me) she in her thick Russian accent "Shash its good to see the bad times, its important to see the bad times , then only you value the good times." Me "fuck off id rather have the good times all the time and be indifferent" well maybe not not really how the conversation went. Im a really nice person unless you have just woken me up or have found me in a really bad mood , so i (plus this is a pretty girl) " yes completely , we will get over it and when you make that money you can take me out for dinner to a nice place." (MOOCHER well to be hones she bums ciggs from me and here thats like gold dust )

So here goes ozzy again
"Iv heard it said, theres a light up ahead
Lord i hope and pray , that im here to stay"


Just in case you thought i was desperate to stay here thats not it, what i meant through ozzy was that i stay in this world long enough to see that light , to see those good times.

Ok so thats that I was thinking of writing this post for a bit now , but then procrastination .......well ill probably write the rest later.

.... Just kidding ..........though messes me up more often than i like (for someone called procrastination its an active lil bugger ain't it ) . Well so anyway as i reclined down to type this in i was having an entirely different conversation with myself but some how i had this conversation somewhere in the convoluted recesses of my mind, and it just resurfaced .

So coming to the other thought i was just going through Face Book the lifeline of many , the very soul and blood of many a techie, socialite, teen, anyone. Its funny how people all of a sudden have so much to say , so much to share and that too with random acquaintances and some strangers too depending on how tightly you monitor your friends requests.

I mean random people sharing pictures, commenting on pictures, making statements giving opinions so on and so forth. I can understand that there could be a certain need and internal desire for attention (after all i do keep this blog open to public and quite enjoy getting a new hit) , or simply need a safety valve for emotions , like when ur happy or your angry or even excited about something. But giving out Gyaan in bite sized chewable pieces, where does that come from ,is that an inborn thing , do certain people have that one FB gene in them. I don't know , but i just want to understand.

Its also a generational thing iv seen people younger than me ( sadly that statement is becoming more relevant and is being used more often nowadays) adapting to it and adopting it much better. They can find things to say , i simply don't have much to say on FB unless its really something i appreciate or that moves me. I mean id still rather say a hi on IM or over the phone then on FB. Yes its convenient but its so damn open .

From a business point of view i completely understand the relevance of social media , its like showcasing your knowledge your skills your products and connecting with your community , i can so get that but on a personal level i think i just cant get why and how people have as much to say as they have. Anyway thats that on FB.

I know that was quite random but it was something that was just there

As i type this in its almost three , its time to hit the sac, so good bye , and have a great weekend. Ill try and post something in every week , its not a promise to you or myself but ill try .


Just for you heres the Lyrics of the first verse and chorus to the song , if you want more go get it yourself.

Standing on the crossroads, world spinning round and round
Know which way I'm going, you can't bring me down
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in

I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change me

Nice isn't it
