'Nashing or Nah?

 

So... Y'all know there's no month like October, right? The best month of the year. If you disagree, well, soak the sky!

 I found from a fellow blogger, Dave that there's a blogging challenge 'Blogtober' where you have to put up something on your blog every single day in October. Basically, aims at encouraging bloggers to create content, I guess.

I haven't posted in a while (I know! You don’t have to remind me!) but I have written stuff that only a handful of people might have seen (some unseen because I wasn't sure of myself) so I thought to myself; oh wow, this really cool! Maybe this is the time to share all that I've been keeping to myself.

Heads up: there'll be a lot of short pieces...call them mini-poems if you like. For such posts, I'll try and maybe give a little background, what brought those thoughts about (if I remember)

If anyone thinks I should definitely work on it some more, feel free to let me know; I'd totally consider it. If anyone thinks they want to collaborate with me on anything, hey, I’m all for it! Let's create magic together.

So here I am, two days late but I'll make up for it. 31 posts in October.

Okay, on that note, post number 1. Leggo!

October 3^rd. International Boyfriend’s Day.

By this time you’ve heard all the ruckus about it from your friends, on social media or maybe even your partner. So what do know about it, aside the fact that it’s today?

Well, according to nationalday.com, 

International Boyfriend’s day can be traced back as far as 2014, although it became really popular in 2016. Who started it? I don’t know; it was generated on social media probably by someone who felt; hey girlfriends have their day, boyfriends should have theirs, too. Not a bad idea, right?

But International Girlfriends Day which is celebrated on August 1^st originated as a day for girls to hang out with their squads; more like a bonding thing between girls. It was launched as a promotional tool for a book by Kathleen Laing and Elizabeth Butterfield titled “Girlfriends Getaway,” which was published back in 2002.  Then male friends and boyfriends got involved, trying to make their female friends and girlfriends feel special and appreciated on the day.

So the day is essentially for letting your boyfriend or/and male friends know how important they are to you and how much you value them. I definitely think a girl who was really spoiled by her boyfriend was the one who came up with Boyfriends Day to reciprocate.

 

Personally, I didn’t see anyone I know post their boyfriend. It was more of trolling on twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp. So are all the ladies I know single? I don’t know. Did they just not take it seriously? Possibly; a lot of guys take these things with a pinch of salt. But we know what would have gone down if the tables were turned. Or wait, do they have multiple boyfriends so they couldn’t post just one? Also a possibility…

Anyway, guys, did you get posted by any lady today or did someone wish you a happy Boyfriend’s Day? Was it your girlfriend, crush or just a friend? And ladies, did you post anyone today? Boyfriend? A really cool dude that you friend-zoned? Or maybe you’re trying to get the attention of your crush subtly?

Well, if you haven’t posted yet, you still got a couple of hours.

Happy Boyfriends Day, guys. Some of you are evil but we love you anyways.
