SOCIAL NETWORKING VS. REAL LIFE


As we all know, most of us have some kind of "Social Networking" sight, and some of us have more than one. Weather it's Facebook, Myspace or, Twitter we all have a way to connect with friends and family. Then there are those people who like to "Facebook stalk". To me looking at other people's profiles are not big deal, but don't get pissed at what you see. I do love to check my Facebook and Twitter, and I also like to look at other peoples, just to see what is going on in their live or what they have to say about life. But why should I get mad when I go onto someones sight to see they do not like me or they talk shit about me. I shouldn't get mad, I should have minded my own business, (that has never happened, I was just using myself as an example). I hate it when people expect you to be one way when you are not. Some of us do "censor" ourselves when we tweet or facebook, some of us do not. Don't get your feelings hurt when that one person you thought was soooo great, isn't as great as you thought. I guess what I am trying to say is most of us at least have a little bit of a fake side, or a more proper/respectful side. We try to censor ourselves in front of our families (parents, grandparents, aunt, uncles and elders) but when we get around our friends we are different. Which isn't a bad thing.....well sometimes it isn't a bad thing. If you are out smoking heroin and your family has no idea, then yea, that's bad, but if you cuss like a sailor, then that's NOT as bad as being a drunken crack head. I certainly didn't like it when one of my facebook friends tried to call me and my cousin out for "liking" something with a cuss word in it. I can understand being respectful, but don't get pissed over one word! I grew up in church so, don't think I cuss like a sailor and I am some bad ass who drinks and parties all of the time. My husband and I are self sufficient, we own a house and pay our own bills. We do not live beyond our means. We do not have any credit cards and our only debts our our house and my car. I do not need someone preaching at me if I do one minor thing wrong. I know what I do wrong, I do not need reminders. If you see me going off my path, (i.e doing drugs, drinking heavily or doing wrong towards my husband and family) then say something, but please don't JUDGE!!
