Clumsy Life

I'm perfectly aware that this post is more than a bit later, which is a shame as for a good long while I hadn't been more than a day or 2 late at the most.

Have you ever had everything going so well for you that you can hardly believe it? You've been trudging forward ever slowly towards that horizon that you can barely see in the far off distant when suddenly it feels like you're starting to walk faster and you can actually see what you're heading towards. You actually start to feel hopeful that you might finally get to where you want to be so badly, when suddenly the ground is pulled out from underneath you. You stumble; you trip and It hurts. The disappointment is like a knife right in your heart and it makes everything around you bitter tasting but you don't have time or the energy to feel it because you have to keep going. Too many people rely on you for you to stop and wallow so you swallow it all down and continue to take the next step and the next step after that.

Yup, that's how I feel right now. 

As I said, I will continue though. I have no choice. Hopefully, I'll have something more interesting to post next time. 

Anti-Social Media

Social Media is an obsession of the First World. News travels through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and whatever else app that someone has downloaded and is now passing among their friends.

Yes, I use social media. I'm primarily a Facebook user. I have a Twitter account but I rarely use it. I have never signed up for Instagram and though I was invited into Google Plus, I never bothered with that either. It's a bit too much for me to be constantly signed into such things. I don't particularly care what each person is doing minute to minute. You have a fairly interesting update in your life that you feel you need to share then I'm more than willing to lend a few minutes of my time or you have something that's funny and silly to share then let's chuckle together. I don't understand the need to constantly post 300 selfies a day or 300 updates a day about the food you just ate or how the pencil broke or how you just suck at life in general. It is a great way to keep in touch with people you don't see on a daily basis though and I'm all for that. 

I could go on about things but instead I'll share this link--http://www.itpatraining.com/Responsible_Social_Networking

Social media is a powerful tool. It's like drinking--a little bit is good, too much and it makes you look like a douche. Please use social media responsibly.
