I'm a blogger now!

...so I just decided to join the whole culture of blogging because lets face it.... people like to hear themselves talk.

I'm not sure about blogging culture but I assume digital introductions are in order. I'm Nola and I have been far flung from Nigerian soil for a bit but I'm back now...to Lagos, to family, to traffic, to smog, to congestion, to no light, to red-headed lizards and the whole nine....AND I LOVE IT!

A johnny just come, I've brought back some clearer eyes to see this place and some of the sights are just plain comical.

I still cannot bring myself to understand how a grown man, in a full suit at high noon can just whip "it" out and start to pee on the side of a major street, I mean, for real? It must take at least 30 seconds to hike up the jacket, before unzipping the trousers... ample time to think "hey, maybe I will not indecently expose myself on a street where there might be, oh I don't know...other people" but I digress. I don't get it but I guess I don't have to.

Lagos life is pretty spectacular, if you are open to the possibilities. I try to be sickeningly optimistic and so far it has worked for me. It is absolutely essential, if not, I might find myself going up to people and kneeing them in the crotch for what would be no apparent reason ( yes, women too!)

Anywhooo, I think I might like this blogging thing…I’ll keep you posted.

xo, Nola
