Social Networking and Other Randoms

PhotobucketEver get a chronic case of the fuckits and feel as though it will never be cured? That, my friends, is the constant state of mind I have found myself in for the last month and some change.  My head feels a bit like...well, this fellow to my left.  Boom! 

Social networking...sometimes it's useful.  Most times - it seems like a pain in the ass.  Over the past several months, there has been an abundance of political banter and a disturbing increase in ridiculous meme posts.  I understand the desire to post the occasional funny pictures/memes, but there is no need for the rapid fire posts every single day.  It is all I see from some users.  Seeing Willy Wonka seventeen times with seventeen different cutesy sayings in one day....well, that is just a bit too much.  As far as politics and religion (and I am guilty here as well) - social networking sites are not the best place to discuss considering the audience demographics are all over the place.  Sure - everyone has the right to believe what they want to believe and by all means vote for whatever politician trips their wire, but I don't need to see all the negativity and bullshit day after day after mother loving day.  I am going to do my part and try to avoid discussing either topic from now until eternity.  I will be unbearably happy and grateful once that damn election is over too. Uncharacteristically happy perhaps!  OK - maybe I've gone to far with that last statement.

Elections bring out the absolute worst in adults, and I am extremely glad that I do not have cable so I do not have to see the barrage on smear campaign ads.  Don't get me wrong here, folks.  I will most certainly vote at all three levels - local, state, and federal.  I certainly have concerns about the upcoming election considering the level of stupidity involved with some individuals that unfortunately will also be voting.  We often seem to forget about the big picture and narrow in on whatever the topic of choice is or should I say whatever topic the candidates pull out of their ass to use as means of swaying votes - namely topics involving religion, abortion, and......that's right...equal rights.  I am sure as shit gay marriage will once again be a hot topic of debate on the upcoming panels.  It shouldn't be as it should be a non-issue - meaning shit can DOMA so we can move on - but it will.  Religious freedoms are on the state ballot this year - protecting the whole ability to pray to GOD - not Allah or any other religious figure but only GOD - in schools.  Well, what about the kids who worship and idolize the FSM?  If you can decode that acronym - you win a pony.  If you can't - well, that's what that super awesome research tool known as the Internet is for.

  
Mother should I run for President?

At any rate - all I can do is my part.  Vote and tell my rowdy band of hooligans to do the same.  No vote = no voice.....and GOD kills a unicorn...helpless, rainbow pooping unicorns.  Now let us bow our heads and enjoy some good ol' Cube.
