One thing I have seen become an issue it the over use of social media. Of course this is one type as is Facebook, Twitter and everything in between. I use them and I will probably link this post to my facebook page. But I also believe it has taken us away from things that really matter most. I personally dont post huge details of my life on there. I very much edit what I say and how its worded. I dont cuss and I dont post things I dont want my extended family to see. There will never be juicy gory details about things on there. Most of my photo albums are private and only certain groups can see certain ones and a select few of those groups can see them all. I am not ashamed to say that there is a long list of people blocked from seeing things on my profile. I think that its a page for friends and family but also some where I can maintain privacy of my life and still stay in contact with extended family that I dont see often or live out of state. I do have times where I post more often than others. Times where I annoy myself at how much I update my status. But usually that is out of sheer boredom not from me actually thinking others want to know how yummy my lunch was. There have been several people cancel their FB page or resolve to stay off of it this year and while no I dont do that I do resolve to make sure I hold myself to what I see and think of others. If I am just done reading your endless rants on how unjust the world is to you, I will make sure not to do that myself, and so on. And by the way the world is not as horrible and wrong and harsh as many make it seem. Yes things can suck but seriously no one has a bad day 365 days in a row. And if you do you need to look into getting some professional help or making some huge changes because thats no way to live. And honestly most do NOT want to read it every day all day. Another thing DO NOT post your phone number on here when you have 758 friends and have never met the majority of them in person. Thats just screaming hey I am a retarded teenager here is my number call me so we can get together and you can murder me!! Come on people common sense here. I love seeing all the great pics of babies and friends babies and things like that. Those are great but when you have 17 different profile pics all of you taken from the same angle in different outfits in the bathroom, maybe we should add a little diversity and take a pic from a new angle when the toilet is not in the back ground. Yes I know I tend to just have one of many pics of my kid instead of spicing up the profile pic there but I tend to hate pics of me and he is just soo cute. And never once has it been a pic as I described above. Ok I do believe I can get off my soapbox now!! LOL!
