I decided I had to write a blog post on this topic because a
status update only gives me like 5 characters. ;)
disclaimer: THIS IS ALL IN GOOD FUN! MY MOM IS PROBABLY GOING TO YELL AT ME BECAUSE SOME MAY CLASSIFY IT AS "RUDE" AND I SAID SHIT!
It seems everyone has
something to say – whether contradictory, intelligent, dumb, hilarious, etc–
and it’s being said on Facebook. It’s that time of year when the
political/football/beachbody/check-into-a-gym /countdown-to-baby-or-wedding Facebook
statuses are at an all time high and we must admit that we will always – for as
long as Facebook lives – have these kind of updates.
We will also continuously see the “whiners”- the ones that primarily complain about those
who update too often and about things they think are stupid {politics,
religion, gym, etc.}
& This is what I think
– &
everyone is entitled to their own opinion –
I
think my pregnancy hormones are a little raging so enjoy and here we go!
Politics: Yes, it may be annoying to have to read or see a
status from 72 of your friends about Romney vs. Obama, conservative vs.
liberal, etc etc. but regardless of your political party or how irritating you
find these updates at least we have people in our country who WANT change or WANT
this or that for our nation, right?! If you don’t pay attention to who is going
to LEAD our COUNTRY and just NOT VOTE you have to be – hate to say – ignorant.
It’s important! Some may post informative links, blogs, etc. that HELP others
get educated so they can vote for
whom they believe is the right candidate to lead the US and not just based on a
political party or race!
Ohhh and Beachbody: I am very annoyed with myself for ever
being a part of this company and annoying everyone on Facebook about it!
Although I feel they have great workout programs {p90x, turbofire, insanity,
etc.} It is, once again, aggravating to see so many updates about it. Honestly,
eat right and exercise daily – you don’t have to be a freak about it, have someone
help you, spend umpteen dollars, have a person “coach” you through it, etc. It’s
called WILLPOWER – look inside yourself and find some and get your ass outside.
But
like I said, it’s Facebook and we can post whatever we want on our own pages
right?!
The only thing I find annoying {the rest
is just plain entertaining} is when people who are continuously voicing their
opinion {about fitness business or politics or what they ate for breakfast} COMPLAIN
about others who update about something that person {who is updating about dumb
shit in the first place} defines as “stupid”
– Ah? What? –
You literally post 12 times a day about how much money you
make with your biz, your busy day of laundry, picking up dog shit, taking care
of the kids or hash tag 120,000 things. You rant about how you don’t care about
politics because you’re over there #self #helping or whatever and you have the
nerve to say that someone posting political statuses is #annoying? That doesn’t
make any bloody sense!
And for the football statuses – ya know, I wouldn’t have
known who won what games {not that I really cared} if it wasn’t for all 120
friends who let me know! I don’t have regular TV {abc/pbs/cbs} or cable so I’m
a little out of the loop. If you don’t like it, go eat some crackers and cheese
until the smack talk settles, okay? Football is an American past time {or maybe
it’s baseball? Haha} so get used to it!
If you want to let people know it’s 629 days until your
wedding – that’s awesome! How else would I keep track?! It’s an exciting time
in that bride or groom’s life and they damn well have the right to post how
much they love their significant other if they please. I mean, most people that
complain about how annoying love is are the ones that “hate love” and wish they
had a boyfriend or I guess find it just plain irritating. I, again, find
it humorous and entertaining! I live in the middle of nowhere! I have to keep
updated on people ya know. ;)
Same with baby countdowns…Trust me, I KNOW! Before I was
preggers I would say to myself when someone told me they were knocked up, “you’re
pregnant…….congrats on never sleeping.” But now that I will be a mom I’m like, “hell
ya! You had your kid! He’s so cute!” or “how exciting!!” So…yeah. Gotta keep
the world updated…and yes, people really do want to know how much a baby weighed
and how long they were.
Ahhh – religion! If you’re a believer in Christ, Buddha,
science, atheism, etc………yay! You at least stand for something, right?! If you
want to post someecards about priests raping little boys you go right ahead –
it’s YOUR facebook! If you want to thank Jesus for all your daily blessings –
please do! Believers or not we all need to stop and be thankful daily, right?!
Post whatever you want people! Just don’t expect others to not say anything if
they don’t like it! Haha! Again, that’s what keeps Facebook {and blogging!} so
darn entertaining!
Hunting – we all know my fiancé and I love it. We post
pictures of our hunts and are proud of them! It may bother some of those animal
lovers out there but you know what my argument WILL ALWAYS be? My fiancé loves
animals more than probably any person out there! Literally! He cares for them
and loves them and never shoots more than we can eat. You may be offended by
our European mounts, dead doves or our walleyes butttt we may be offended by
your tofu burger. It’s a vicious cycle and we’re never going to solve it! So let’s
just all agree to disagree! J
So to wrap things up let’s revise everything I just ranted
and raved about:
It’s YOUR Facebook – post what YOU want. If you’re posting
stupid stuff – don’t post about how stupid other people’s stuff is and ENJOY all the comical updates posted by
your favorite lunatics {most likely your closest friends} because life is too
short not to just giggle! RIGHT?!
