Righto, in the mood of all things happiness relating, i thought some issues seriously need to be addressed re; seriously un-happy making
1. Facebook
With voyeurim de rigueur and spilling your guts out in generically fashioned dime a dozen blogs accessed by millions- (not unlike this one right here) it seemed inevitable that a monster called 'facebook' should rear its ugly head, sucking in innocent bystanders with a dangerous predilection towards procastinators. This so called 'friend-finder' has infected my world, its super suction tentacles fronting as entertaining prospects such as 'social status updates' or 'Find Friends' aka love me please, or Social timeline, The: creates a timeline of your social life simply by entering all your "friend" details. nuff said.
Sigh, another time zapper, another hideous consumer of valuable minutes which we are increasingly told to "treasure". I hesitate to declare, the earth shattering mind staggeringly exhaustive difficulty not withstanding, a ban from all things Facebook, facebook related, tagging (?) wall posts, scanning your next doors neighbors dog's best friends cousin photos from their Norwegian boyfriends homecoming.
Only then can i rest. Amen
2. Mothers Day
two things which have made me suspicious. 1) not many bad things are said about mothers day. 2) mothers day is often bad.
Why suspicious? Bad things arent all always talked about. Also, everyone has a mum and (mostly) everyone loves them.(love- hate relationships include
HOWEVER, has anyone stopped to think of the children?? The god forsaken children of that teen- angst forming nightmarish condition that is The blended family who can, for the majority of the year make the most of a pretty strange situation and get on with rest of their lives? Until the one day, when there's (probably) smoked salmon involved, and soft doughy bagels, and most likely coffee, and cake and polite conversation, and guilt mongering, and cranky tearful fights and mood swings and overly sentimental or emotionally unavailable over -priced greeting cards, and unstable shop assistants and tearing your hair out whilst jumping up and down screaming frantically- is SO not an option!
Anyway, um, suspicion 2) was unfounded. There is MUCH much causality. But a ban on this one might not go down so well.
Thoughts??
That is all for now, Adieu ye faithful few, and thank ye for thigh kindly purge
