The Internets is a perverse pleasure. It's a land of unbridled voyeurism, no shame, and a place to spill every dirty little detail of your life, if you should choose to do so. I'm not so sure I need "Fred" and his second cousin George knowing what I had for breakfast today. I asked a few of these free sharers about why they do it, and overwhelmingly the response was "Oh, nobody looks at it anyway". Oh yes, they do!!
It's their business, and I fully admit I find humor in some of it, and a lot of times it's "Really? Who fucking cares!!" Attention whores? Maybe. I love my weekends when I can unplug and not think about it. Meet people face to face, get out, do stuff!! Life is too short to be acting out a drama scene for a bunch of crazed looky-loos.
I know you're thinking, wow, talk about hypocrisy!!! I suppose one could infer that a blog isn't much different than social media, but at least here you can pick a topic and possibly crank out a paragraph or two about some subject a few might find intriguing. For whatever it's worth.
Raven, signing off.
