LATEST BLOG EDITS (101ST POST)

-


Hey people!!! Feeling lost? Trust me, you took the right turn and are in the right place. This is still yours truly on mixedbaggy though it all looks different from what you probably saw the last time you stopped by. Well, well, I made some minor changes to how everything looks just for you (?).

What are the latest blog edits.
 
Honestly, I didn’t change much. The theme, which is responsible for how the blog looks on a whole  is still the same cos I like how easy it is to navigate. If you are one of the earlier readers of this blog, you’d reckon this is my third blog edit (if I’m correct). It had a black and orange themed background before switching to that which most of you are used to seeing here now.
  In the course of the month, I stumbled on a very helpful app (I hopefully should get to that some time later. *fingers crossed*) and that inspired me to add a bit of a personal touch to how the blog is presented to y’all. Down to the personal touches, I am a lover of monochrome and neutrals, I could probably watch black and white TV and not get tired, but I digress. I went on to making a new header--different from the calming sea that once used to be there--relating to me and the blog as a whole.


  Changes were made to the background from blue to a more neutral color that I believe to be more friendly to the eyes, that doesn’t change the fact that blue is one of my go-to colors right after black and different shades of grey. Back to the header, it has given the blog a more “professional” outlook and I don’t have to have the weird title: “Random write-ups” sitting up there. The new header sums the blog all up well, even if I say so myself. Like I mentioned earlier, no particularly big change was made, just a couple of touches here and there yet, it looks like an overhaul. I honestly hope you prefer the new look as much as I do.

  You may be wondering; WHY THE EDITS? First, I was getting tired of the blue look but not the theme. Don’t get me wrong, I like blue but I was getting tired of it still. The second thing as weird as it might sound, is the fact that I’m getting older and I began longing to settle for a more mature look on the blog. Next, I needed a personalized header like yesterday and having to put one together myself is fulfilling in its own way. Lastly, I felt the need for the change. A wide number of blogs I visit and websites even have neutral themed pages. I didn’t particularly want to conform but had to up my game, editing the theme was a step in the right direction.
Finally, it seemed like a great way to mark our 100th post (though this is the 101st post). Oh, yes!!!! We are 100 posts and going strong.

WHY DID I MAKE A POST ABOUT THIS? For one, to involve you my dear readers in the edits and to let y’all know that you weren’t lost if you did think that for the first couple of seconds you landed on this page. Then, to document my progress, as I mentioned in some previous post of mine about journaling keeping tabs on growth and progress. This post would live here for like forever and would always, always remind me of how this space once looked and how far we’ve come.

Ciao,
‘Mina.

REVIEW : VIOLENCE BY FESTUS IYAYI

  Hello peeps, how has the month been? I’ve been playing coward for a while now, let me tell you why. I read a book some weeks back—which I stumbled upon by the way—and I was like it’s something I’d like to make a blog post about but I have been “shifting post” ever since. I have decided to take the bull by the horns and do it anyways.     Hmm!! Where do I start? Okay, this book I’m talking about is titled VIOLENCE written by FESTUS IYAYI and I’d say it was a good—real good—read. The time in which the story was set wasn’t really stated but I figure it was set sometime in the 70s going but the copyright and an account somewhere in the book. The storyline spans roughly 2-3 weeks, my guess being right.     The plot revolves basically around two couples, one affluent and the other poverty stricken. The story tells of the things that being poor can make one do and things that the affluent can use to lure the poor as well. It also shows how manipulative some rich folks can be, going b

GROWING UP BIG FOOT

Howdy mates!!!! Over the past week, I found myself brainstorming on what to write next for this blog. Honestly, blogging the way I do (writing articles) can be much of a work at times. Some days, I just sit in front of my screen, staring blankly, with no idea on what exactly to write about. Other days, I could have numerous ideas floating in my head, sometimes, I’m lucky enough to get most of them down and fleshed up, other times, I get to just a couple and the rest fly away or just don’t seem as interesting as the initial thought. Today’s post is several years old but it still rings true and possesses the same initial vibe it had. And, guess what? It is not as particularly serious as my last couple of posts have been--just something on a lighter note. I currently stand somewhere between  5ft 9’ and 5ft 10’ and by NBA standards, I’m nothing near tall (probably been seeing too many NBA games of recent). Away from the giants and back to the real world, I’m somewhere above average he
