No... I'm not talking about the band. I'm talking about me. So.... Blogging. It's really a chore to keep up. As I'm sure Leslie can attest to. Not fun, and when you don't keep it up, people quit checking it, and then when you do update it, you're probably just updating it for yourself because no one's reading or looking anymore since you haven't updated it in almost a year! Wow... are you still following me here?? Good.
So, I was actually reading another blog this morning, (which i NEVER DO by the way) and it's from a woman i went to school with until my Junior Year when, at that time, we moved to Molalla. Anyway, name not important. So, i'm reading her blog and it's written JUST LIKE I WOULD HAVE WROTE IT! It's amazing. It's like reading my own work! She types things just like she says things. That's my trick! Hey, WTF... I've been plagiarized. Anyway, it doesn't matter at this point and I'm relatively sure she's safe from any legal battles that might come down the chute. So, i'm reading this blog, and about 1/2 way through my reading of her 2nd post, I just start laughing, because, this is just amazing stuff. At the same time, you almost feel like a peeping TOM. Why? i'll tell ya.
For one, did anyone catch the part that this is a woman i knew since school all the way up until my Junior year??? Yeah. So, lets recap here. So from our formative years until basically 16/17. Then...... that's it. I moved. Graduated High School at Molalla Union High School, got a job, got married, had a kid, got divorced, joined the Marines, moved really really far away, still loved the Marines, moved closer to home thanks to the Marines, got married again, married a Marine, started have many more kids all born in the same month. Again, thanks to the Marines, moved to Nebraska, thanks to the marines, moved to NC, thanks to the marines, built/bought a house, thanks to ..... well.... me actually, but my point is, a lot has happened since about 1990. A lot. Then Facebook comes around and it gives you almost this hidden permission to intrude into other peoples lives that you otherwise would have never intruded on at all! Let me give you an example of that as well; my wife has friends on Facebook and somehow i became friends with her friends aunt?!!! Sorry. had to end that. But there i was, friends? Anyway my point is, here comes facebook, here comes the excuse to now be "friends" with someone that you haven't even talked to or heard of or seen in easily 20 years. What kind of a friend is that????? That's kind of messed up on the friend scale i think.
Anyway...... it was facebook. Yep. Facebook and all of our witty posts. That's what got me to follow and read her blog today. As I'm betting, a few of you that are new to this are doing the same thing, right now. Following my Facebook info page to this page.
So, thanks Lynda. Thanks a lot. Now what to write about tomorrow?
