Here We Go Again

So, I don't know how you people ever got through the last eighteen months without my valuable insights. Good Grief. It's funny how time (and inspiration) run away from us while we're busy cluttering our heads with other stuff. I've been so busy worrying about "Nothing", that I haven't really been focusing on "Something". I gave up the blog and got caught in the Facebook Vortex. It's like a casino- you can never leave! There are so many links for an ADD person such as myself to click. And you can be all voyeuristic know all about a person and NEVER have to talk to them. Who wouldn't want THAT? As long as you have a friend of a friend of someone, you can see all of their photos. You really can find out if that High School Cheerleader you hated is all fat and has ugly kids, and no one has to know. The opposite is also true, but that's why all my FB pics that are tagged have a maximum wight limit. Any photo that depicts me with more than one chin (which means pretty much anything taken since Grunge was still cool) will be untagged immediately!
All kidding aside, I LOVE Facebook. It does really help people with very different lives stay connected. You really never have to say "goodbye" to anyone ever again. Unless, of course they De-Friend you; the ultimate slap in the face. It says either "I hate you so much, that I no longer wish to see your name on a news feed or gift you puppy kibble for your farm ever again" or "I only really friend ed you so I had an impressive number of people on my Friend List and now I have more that enough, so bu-bye".
If you think about it, for a society that is all "identity theft" and "stalker" conscious, we put an awful lot of personal information out there. Is it really any one's business that GoodBurger is on my Movie Favorites? Imagine what someone could do with that information! But I'll risk it if it means I can spout my thoughts and opinions to the world in an effort to feel self-important.
We'll see how often and how long I'll keep this up. I am pretty lazy.
