I'm new to blogging. I've had this blog just over 3 months. So there are still things I'm learning, and having to ask CP what is tagging, I was myself also tagged - and challenged to write 8 things about myself. So here goes.
- I dislike the new wave culture that promotes rap and text speech. As a Grumpy Old Man, I reserve my right to protest things that 'dumb down' the already dumb population.
- I'm willing to help anyone. My best friend described me once to another person (she did not know I was overhearing and I swear, I didn't do it deliberately): "'Jumbie' is the only person I know will bend over backwards - twice- to help someone."
- I love reading. As a child, my teachers had to force me outside to go and play ('get fresh air' they said) when I preferred to read. I averaged over 10 books per week. I now average four but then again, now I work fulltime, and attend University part time.
- I find learning about technology, electronics, Maths etc easy. Once it follows logic, I'm not too shabby at getting it.
- I passed MENSA's test... not once, but 3 times. Haven't joined.
- I hate sleeping. I miss out on so much going on.
- I like Russell Peters comedy. He is a brilliant humourist.
- I only tolerate most people. It's hard to carry on a conversation with an idiot.
And a lagniappe: Injustice irks me. I started my blog to give vent to my feelings, though it's turned out that I don't limit myself to things unfair. I need to let it out, and this is as good a forum as any.
