Seriously...it has been SIX fricken months since I have written in my blog....something usually happens every single day that I want to write about...but then I find too many other things to do to occupy my time. Yes, being a mom is busy...the little guy has two naps per day...about an hour each time. So I generally use one of those hours to shower and the other to sleep. You see I am pregnant again and really really tired. So not a lot of time for Heather.....but when I do get time, what do I do....I waste it by posting photos on Facebook and then surfing other peoples photos. I really love and hate facebook. Its great to see my friends kids photos, especially those who I don't regularly see...but really the amount of crap on there just annoys me. Like the pages of those old high school acquaintances who post photo after photo of themselves...taken with their smartphones in the bathroom mirror...skiing, at the beach, in their bedroom....REALLY people, get an effin grip....yes, you may be hot, but by posting self portraits constantly you scream LOW SELF ESTEEM...looser.
I mean don't get me wrong...I am guilty of FB disgusting behavior too....I edit all my photos and of course only post the ones that I look good in...and this bugs me that I do this....yet, I still do it. Part of the charm of the old fashioned photo album is when your friends and family used to come over and you would have a good laugh at all of the photos in it...of your bad hair day, the lazy eye photo...the one with crap in your teeth, the one where you have five chins and the one that makes you resemble a dog. Those are fun photos.
The other thing that bugs me are the people who post every single thing they are doing at every moment of every bloody day. Like you are in the middle of experiencing something great...you are so fully in the moment that you take the time to post a comment on your FB page???.....please....stay in the fricken moment and enjoy it...no one really gives a shit about what you are doing. Or do they...because other people actually "comment" on what you are doing.....for god sakes I have commented...I almost feel like I have to. Actually, don't even get me started on the "comments" section...because we have all become so obsessed with receiving FB comments from our peers...like the more comments we get the better we feel about ourselves. FB really is such an egotistical, pathetic waste of time....we all have to post amazing photos of our accomplishments, update our status so everyone knows we eat at the best restaurants or can afford the best vacations and then we patiently (or not so much) await the approval of our friends by way of their comments. Its a sickening cycle that we are trapped in...lets go back to the old fashioned phone call...or maybe even mailing a real photo of your kids to a loved one...and enjoying the moment we are experiencing instead of stopping mid-bungee jump to post what you are doing.
Now if you will excuse me, we just returned from a fantastic trip to Maui and I have to post some photos.
Enjoy!
