Ahh,
Northing's added here since July last year!! Relocation, new job, not-so-new-job, children, holidays, laziness, no internet due to relocation- the list of excuses is humongous. Anyway, here I am, pretending to be a blogger once again with an assumption that somebody, somewhere is actually waiting to read this. Having said that, and if I trust the "stats" on my weebly app, I have a few "unique" visitors every week, which makes me feel good. So good that I decided to write another blog within a year!! And no I am not comparing this to the one "who is waiting to talk to you and is 2 miles away" from your location. The biggest problem I find is- to find a topic- a unique and interesting one. And I don't have either. Not now. But I must write something- for those "unique" visitors who're waiting for a new episode. (And now that is enthusiasm I want to keep alive.) I take a break from writing ( BTY I never proofread my blogs) and scroll down the postings on my Facebook wall (is it still called a wall?) It took a mere 20 minutes to acquire all the inspirations and ideas I need. But before I continue, I must declare here that I have no intention to disrespect or insult anyone , It is nothing but an opinion with humour. Okay, As I stated I spent approximately 20 minutes to scroll down my wall and I noticed that I have 302 friends, (something I have never checked before ) and a few "followers" I don't know how many Facebook friends I follow, or how many of these friends have blocked me from reading their posts. I do, however. have a significant number of regular posters, and based on what they post I am splitting them into groups: The Healthy bunch: A few of my friends are obsesses with health related articles. I don't know how much do they actually practice, but according to them - and if I follow their posts, I would definitely live for over 250 years with a very healthy eyesight, kidneys, lungs, gall bladder... I will never die of cancer, or heart disease, or anything thinkable. All I need to do is to make sure that I eat all those strange herbs and spices without missing till I reach 250. The inspirers: A big picture with multicoloured and multisized texts either praising you for being yourself- my wall receives at least five a day ( no pun intended). I am truly inspired indeed, at least until I close my Facebook app. Occasionally, these quotes also appear on monochrome. Some of them are truly genius and original, whilst some bear the original author's name. But truly amusing even some of them feel like you're being screamed at. The news breakers and RIPpers: Becoming the first to know who's dead and posting a RIP note on facebook needs commitment. I am proud to announce that I do have few friends who are always the first to know who's dead- as if Mr death tweets them as soon as the soul is taken. I no longer need to read newspapers because I have breaking news on my wall. I admire the enthusiasm and commitment. Occasionally, some of my friends miss out the time of the event and the breaking news appears a week afterwards- but I blame the smartphone battery. The comedians Yes, whether it is a friend who wanted to create a social networking site "faithbook" for people with a lisp or another friend who is teasing somebody mercilessly, - you also put a smile on my face. At times I have caught myself laughing at the phone screen at inappropriate locations, but still a smile is a smile. The artists and photographers: I have few really amazing photographers and artist friends, I must admit that from time to time they are more inspiring than the inspirers, The sharers: You are the type who share everything. And if someone reads your wall it normally says xxx shared yyy's status/photos. And the worst offenders- in my opinions, are the ones who share their own pictures. With an exception of Timehop- I fail to justify this action. The taggers: You take a picture of your friend and tag them- nothing wrong with that. I however, have few friends who take a picture of a tree or a branch of a tree or a bus and tag people in it- the ones who are nowhere near. It is amusing but why would you want to tag me on a picture of a a monkey..... oh wait!! Now I understand!! The Gamers: And the probably the most unpopular ones who successfully and unwittingly created the most offensive C word- the candy crush. The first 400 requests are however, tolerable -and after that you feel like crushing something else. I appreciate that you're a good gamer and have reached the top level on your game but I think you should check before sending a request. It's like somebody banging on to your door in a wintery midnight and requesting you to join them for a trip to an ice cream parlour. Or somebody asking you to join a peanut butter club whilst you are allergic to nuts. Complete nuts I tell you!! This is just a short list, I have lolers ( who end every post with a lol), religious preachers, inappropriate ones and many more. And if you imagine facebook as a world on its own, it wouldn't be interesting without a variation of people. Keep it up folks. Comments are closed.
