something has happened
to humanity
under the auspices
of social media…
of full on communication
with Facebook
and Twitter
and Instagram
and Snapchat
etc
it’s all about the memes
and no so much with the
saying what you mean
and meaning what you say
we don’t talk personally anymore
we grab a meme and pretend
it’s what we mean
so when someone
does post something
heartfelt
it comes across
incorrectly
or whether
the person is interesting
and smart
and articulate
or not
we gather
on their posts
like
vultures…
when I first
started blogging
it wasn’t about
making money
or a living
with my smart mouth
and quick fingers
it was about
sharing my thoughts
with whomever wanted
to read them
but mostly
it was about
keeping myself
from losing my mind
now days
most of the “real life” bloggers
are gone
and people that blog
strive to be trendy
pretty
and make money
everyone thinks
it’s easy
but it ain’t
…not so much
with the deep
discussion worthy posts
here’s a couple of things
that have happened
as a result
of social media
in my opinion
people don’t talk
they make assumptions
rather than talk
and often they believe
that their
interpretation
is what you really meant
friends assume
you will be able to
understand their positions
by reading memes
or making your pictures
pretty or goofy
people don’t have
deep conversations
without making
an appointment
or a date for a meal
I’m just as
at fault as everyone else
here’s hoping
I can get my blog
back on
so I can talk
about items that
strike me
when I need to
onward and upward
as they say.
