First off, let me apologize to my millions and trillions of followers that I have not blogged in a long time! But I have a problem called Scatter Brainitis. Yes, it is a real condition I looked it up on Wikipedia! Honestly though I really do think I have this! I will start something, then get distracted my something else and totally forget to finish what I was originally doing. And this will happen multiple times a day, so imagine the tons of things that I don't finish! For instance I have about 10 blogs that I have yet to post because I have to yet finished them. They sit in the draft section of my blog page and when I log on here I just stare at them thinking maybe one day I will just finish them all! I'd be surprised if I finish this blog and post it! If I do then I will genuinely pat myself on the back because that means I actually accomplished something today! I am in the blogging mood right now and I'm hoping it lasts because I have A LOT to talk about! OK lets start with the elephant in the room...What did you give up for lent? Now let me begin by saying I am not the religious type. I don't go to church, or tithe, or read the bible. But I do believe in god, and I feel that I express that to him in my own way. Not by having someone else tell me how to worship him the correct way so he loves me back. Now I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the bible says that God loves all his "children". Not just the "children" that give their church 10% or more of their income. So If the churches can please stop shoving it down my throat that I need to give money that I don't even have to a church that just got in 5 new flat screen TVs in, that would be great! Sorry for the rant, back to the main question. What did you give up for lent? Again, I'm not religious but I like the challenge of giving something up for 40 days. I like to test myself to see how long I can really last without something and see how I feel about it when I can have it finally. So this year I decided to give up Facebook! And sweets but lets be honest a women on her period could never give up sweets! #Sorrynotsorry
But I really have stopped using Facebook! Its been surprisingly nice! I felt like Facebook was just taking up too much of my time when I really could be doing more productive things (Like finishing a blog) rather than looking at someones depressing status on "how they are having like the shittiest day ever". Or getting lost on those stupid Buzz Feed posts. I do not need to know which Mean Girl I am, or which City I should live in! I know which city I should live in and some stupid quiz isn't going to determine that for me! Now if that is your thing and you like getting lost on Facebook for 5 hours when you could have been actually living life then more power to you. But I choose to live in the now, not the social media now...which ends up being the past by the time you actually get to look at it. Geez, this is a ranty kind of blog. Sorry I guess I have a lot of stuff on my mind! Thanks for listening! I'm going to wrap it up with one more rant. Its on cell phones (Go figure). Here's the thing, I have a love/hate relationship with cell phones. If i had to choose I would say more of a hate. Now don't get me wrong I think they are great for their "intended" purpose, which its to keep you in contact with people. But people are using these things so much that they don't even know how to have face to face conversations anymore. Kids these days can't make eye contact or talk to someone without their cell phone in hand and its so sad! People are on their cell phones when they drive, when they are with friends at dinner, when they are at the movies, when they are working, when they go to the bank, when they are taking a poop...its crazy! I work at a place where I deal with customers face to face and it is insane to me how rude and oblivious people can be because they are on their cell phones. They come up to me and don't even say hello or say excuse me, they just tell me whatever they want me to help them with and then completely ignore me the rest of the time. And then they apologize to the person on the phone because they had to speak to me for 1 second. HELLO MCFLY! We as a society shouldn't accept this kind of behavior from one another. We should be able to talk face to face and not feel completely uncomfortable about it. I am guilty of using my cell phone at times when I shouldn't but I am also able to admit the fact that I do...could you? To end this on a good note, I want to say that life is good. Try and embrace everything and everyone you meet. Who knows what could happen.
