My Random Thoughts Part#1

My thoughts tend to lead me to random thinking sometimes but have you ever sat down and thought to yourself “What if we didn’t have social networking websites?” or “Why don’t people take the opportunity to go out a vote?” or “Why is this person claiming me and we don’t even talk or go out?” or “Why is this person only talking to me now, but every other time ignores me?” We all have sat or stood in the presence of people who have done these things and we look at it so dumbfounded as to “Why in the Hell are people so stupid nowadays?”

At one time in life we all didn’t have Internet or these super networking sites, we use to go out to mixers, parties, events and meet people. This is a way to build communication and speaking skills for some, for those who are shy, like me, to learn how to open up to those around them. Not saying we can’t still do that but it has somewhat been hindered by the emergence of the social networking sites. We wake up each morning to check if we have an update, if some commented on our status or we look to see who is doing what this early in the morning. We spend countless upon countless hours on social networking sites but what if . . . there were no social networking sites? Just think about it, “WHAT IF . . . THERE WERE NO SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES?” What would you be doing with your extra time? I am a heavy facebook user and during the summer I took about a 3-4 week hiatus from facebook just to see how it would feel. I didn’t check my phone, I didn’t check my email for facebook alerts and whenever someone brought up facebook my typical answer would be “I am not on there at the moment.” I had so much extra time in the day I really didn’t know what to do with myself especially after I finished my homework. So I would just sit and read and get ahead of my class in projects and homework assignments. Now that I am using it again I am not an addict like most people, and to see how society is so connected with facebook and twiiter, I believe people will freak out if they didn’t have their facebook or twitters to go to. We have made it a part of living, just like brushing our teeth, washing our cloths, eating food it’s a part of our makeup now and to get rid of it would damage some and make others go crazy. . . .just saying.

The sad thing about people not voting is that it hurts the whole country and it hurts us as individuals. Most people say they hate our government, they hate the people that are running stuff, they hate certain things not being passed . . .well “DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!” You have the ability to vote but you don’t even make an attempt too. Your excuse can’t be that you didn’t know you had to vote or that you just weren’t sure what to vote on, you just didn’t CARE. This is a chance to get your voice heard and you don’t take this opportunity? Where they do that at?? (The United States) Think about it this way, voting is a PRIVILEGE and not everyone around the world can vote so be happy that your government is allowing you to vote because they could become a dictatorship and not allow you to just an FYI.

You know you have been in those situations when you are getting to know someone and you guys hang out nothing serious happens you guys have a good time and one of your people hit you up “Hey you go out with so and so?” That’s the thing you usually hate to hear especially if you are not even talking to the person on some serious stuff. This is what we call the “claim game” and some people take this serious and others don’t but this is another topic in itself. Recently one of my friends got into one of these situations where he went to chill with his new friend, they got where having fun they kissed one time and next thing you know her telling people that they go out. How does something happen like this you say? Well leading people on is the way the “claim game” works so word of advice to lead people on!!
