Hmm! "Surprise! Surprise!" That sound always leaves my heart mumbling out a faint "ooh ooh". Now don't get me wrong, it's not like i dont like surprises, i looove surprises. Especially when i know that the bearer of the surprise is by my standard, a reasonable mind. As much as i love surprises, i do not welcome all of them. This is to say that depending on the person in question, a surprise may be good thing about to happen or a disaster waiting to happen.
Let me give you an instance. I just logged into this blog site; my blog site, i felt i could just mope at it and pity myself at the lack of creativity, just to notice that there has been an upgrade of some sort which doesnt particularly indicate what exactly you want to do. It used to be 'new post' for when you want to post something new and now what you get is just a pen symbol;an orange pen.*rolling eyes*. How the heck am i supposed to know what that's for if not that i had initially glanced at some psychobabble they were writing before finally accessing my blog. It's no more the usual colourful display you see but just an assemble of grey, white and orange colours. What an odd combination. To tell you the truth, this is one of the reason why i stopped logging onto Facebook.
Facebook in the person of Mark Zuckerberg is constanly reinventing itself . I never knew that reinvention could be so irritating until i noticed that i log unto Facebook at all times with grave apprehension wondering what will change. I wonder with each click whether i can still be able to locate 'Remove friend',for nut heads i want to wipe off my list or 'untag' myself from a totally disgusting picture or just delete some crappy comment on my post. With each surprise i got when i logged on, i reduced my visits, until presently, i hardly even log on anymore. That's how messed up a surprise can be.
Dude shows up and you are all smiles cause you can vouch for him and whatever he has in stock for you can't be that bad. Some other dude shows up and you have to restrain yourself from saying, "Can you keep it a while, cause as you can see, I'm kinda on my way out". That's how different surprises can go.
Anyway, there are few times i have ever been pleasantly surprised. I hope that if you are also in the shoes of those of us with phobia for surprises, this year will be different and we will all have a multiplication of pleasant surprises in my life this year. Who knows, i may even surprise myself. Will let you know. *wink*
Dang! I'm running out of steam. Its been a better morning than it has been for a while. Would love it more if i weren't so cold.
Have fun y'all...
