Right.I've an excuse. Really. I'm addicted. The only reason I've not blogged in so long is because I'm addicted. Yes, it's true. It's called Twitter.
I could go on about my addiction to that service for quite some time now, but I really shouldn't and should spend some time to focus on this post.
* At this point the date is now the 20th of February. This post was created on the 14th. Twitter is slowly taking over things. *
So for my first meaningful post in all of February, I'm quite surprised as to how quickly Twitter has grown onto me, and I'm hoping that I'll be able to somehow find time to live my life in between all my tweeting. It's come to the point where I'm considering the purchase of an iPhone or BlackBerry just so that I can stay updated and update my tweets while on the move. Time spent away from my computer makes me constantly think of Twitter and all the tweets that I'm going to have to catch up on once I'm back at my workstation at home. Wow. It's so pathetic BUT I LOVE IT!
Anyway, February has been a relatively eventful month. On the 12th we had the Twestival at Barasti at Le Meridian Mina Seyahi and I attended that along with Lhjunkie. It was fun! We met a whole bunch of people that we only knew as screen names and avatars. It was great fun getting faces for the names. It was also interesting how we referred to each other by the screen names. People like "DaddyBird", "MBzle" etc. Soon after that we also took the time to go meet DaddyBird again on the 16th for his birthday.
Hmm, something else happened in February too that I wanted to blog about at the time, but I can't seem to recall it now.
My eldest brother, Masroor, and his family left for the USA for good. It was always on the cards, but when he actually left, it was weird. I remember telling myself that I won't really mind him leaving because it's not like I'm going to miss him or anything. But on the morning of 14th of February at the airport, I realized how much I was going to miss my brother. Sure we had fights a lot and I'd swear at him (in my mind) but now that he's gone I really miss him. He was the moderator of the house and it was always fun having him around. He also kept me grounded and my big ego needs someone who can pop the bubble from floating and keep me firmly on the ground. Masroor used to do that. I miss him :(
Oh well, too bad he'll never read this. He used to make fun of my blog a lot too.. moron..
Either way, now that I've finally gotten down to writing this post, I'm hoping that it will help me snap out of Twitterdiction and let me focus on writing some more articles.
More posts as addiction is controlled!!!
Cheers!
