So I am an active member of Facebook. A big part of FB is the status update. It starts out with your name and then you simply state what you are doing, thinking, etc. Well sometimes I get sick and tired of reading peoples glowing updates about their wonderful life and the amazing things they are doing. Many times I censor my updates because if I really said what I was doing or thinking I may be in big trouble or I may alienate all the people I know. So I have decided to post my real thoughts here. Here goes:
Karen is wondering when her husband is actually going to start listening to her. Also when will he realize that his shoes are just to humongous to leave lying around the house for me to pick up.
Hey it's not Shakespeare, but it is my unfiltered thought. Look for more and also I will be making my real list of 25 things, not the nice one I posted on FB, the real 25 things that actually define my life. Yes I like purple, but come on, there is more to me. And I actually hope there is more to my friends on FB, why can't we all get real and actually expose ourselves? Painting pretty pictures of a life is awesome but in the end, if it is not real, then who does it actually help?
Why is it ok to have to only show the happy moments. Remember how we used to take pictures with film, when we developed the film we got the good, the bad and sometimes the ugly. Digital cameras have changed pictures forever. It's the same idea with the status updates and FB profiles we don't always look pretty, feel pretty and have perfect pretty lives. Let's get real!

You're absolutely right. I run my comments by Diane to see if they are printable on FB. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. Do you think I really look to see if someone else is looking me in the eye when I meet them? Hell naw! What I really look at is if they have a good body, but I can't put that out there. Ooops, i just did.
