Twice I was asked today if I knew what you call a date like 080808, I didn't even realise there was a special name for days like these but twice I lied and said I knew but had forgotten. Why I did this I know not and care not but I am nonetheless curious as why this increased obsession with dates and number arrangements. For many years through my life as a pupil/student, every day I wrote the date at the top of my exercise book/note pad and in those days dates did fascinate me. But this is an acceptable schoolboy pastime but for adults it isquite frankly worrying.
I have not blogged for a while for a variety of reasons. The main culprit being Facebook the other being the haphazardness of my life at the moment but I do remark to myself every so often that I ought to blog more often if only jut to practice and sharpen my writing skills. I am somewhat becoming bored of Facebook having acquired over 240 friends many of whom I never seen or spoken to. On the other hand it has been good in the sense that I know communicated with a lot of my salsa friends whom ordinarily I just say Hi to and dance with. I have long being convinced that Salsa is fully of the socially challenged with negligible social skills. Thankfully every week, I am proven wrong and as a result of getting to know more about my salsa companions other than their ability to keep time. I am constantly pleasantly surprised.
