Years ago, when my mom would tell us about some event or happening that she had heard of, my brother and I would often tease her that the story must be true if it were mentioned on "Lotus" (Lotus FM - an Indian radio station in SA). These days the "logic" that everyone seems to apply is: "It's only real if it's on Facebook!" A few weeks ago, I had a similar conversation with a fellow Twitter user, who explained that a friend was concerned that her boyfriend had not changed his relationship status on Facebook to show that they were in a relationship. This led to her friend questioning why her boyfriend would "hide" such a thing if he really is committed to her and her relationship is real.  

As someone who often searches online for contact details of stores, companies, products, etc, one of the greatest annoyances I have has to be websites that are not updated once the respective details have changed. After recently hearing about Skinjam and their ability to wrap cellphones with cool logos I set out to find the nearest store to me. Their website indicated that would be Rosebank Mall ("Coming Soon"). That day being a public holiday, it seemed pointless to call the head office number to verify location, but a friend did say that they remember seeing the store there.

A new year, a new beginning, a new journey - that's how we should see it, right? Right. And with that all of the above, new experiences. That's what this year should bring. After toying with the idea and the mystery, and it being suggested to me that I should start a blog, I have given in to the temptation and created one. Let's call it an experiment - I get to understand the outlet that is blogging and you get to read and hopefully understand the many, sometimes random sometimes not, thoughts that go through my mind. Deal? Cool, let's go! Rosh
