Emotionally unstable
Sometimes I wonder whether it is normal for a man to be as emotionally unstable as I am.I ponder upon it a lot.Women are the cause of most of it if not all of it.

That weird moment when you do not know what direction your life is going.When you cannot find yourself and at this point everything is vague.

One day Ms Nebo accompanied by her friend Magret went to Oriental plaza for shopping of course accompanied by her body guards and a chauffeur. They went from shop to shop, they were fond of shopping together. They bought shoes, swimming costumes and jewellery amongst others. An Indian dress caught Mrs Nebo's eye and she opted to buy it. She now wanted a silk scarf to match her dress but she could not find any in that shop so she looked in the other shops. When she finally found it she did not have enough cash on her and decided to write the shopkeeper a cheque,which he rejected. She insulted after she noticed the notice that had been put stipulating that no cheques would be accepted there in that shop. Another shopkeeper walked into the store and in fear of having her cause a scene the shopkeeper offered to buy the scarf as a gift from the traders of Oriental Plaza. After having thanked this shopkeeper she smiled and after giving the initial shopkeeper some cursing remarks she left.
Characters:
Mrs Nebo is the main character and protagonist in the story. She is the wife of important official Clive Nebo. She was of medium height,with heavy loins and smooth complexion. She and her husband were rich. They have luxurious cars and their home was in an expensive location. Exaggerated sense of self importance, rude and bossy.
Mr Sukur is a shopkeeper with customer care, law abiding and not easily intimidated. Mr Sadder is another shopkeeper, who is a coward easily intimidated as he bought the scarf unplanned because he fears the body guards of the insisting lady.

Blogging Experience
Having my own blog is amazing.Though I must admit its nothing like Face book its rather slower and needs much patience.I personally like it for it is like Face book in a way that it allows you to connect to the rest of the world.It allows you to upload pictures.The security measures put in place are quite impressive, they have exceeded my expectations.One disappointment is the accessibility of one's blog by other people.I believe there's more learning to be done and that this is just the beginning thus I will reserve the rest of my comments upon the issue.
