Facebook changed my life- Really!
A few months ago, I had gotten to a point in my life where I felt like nobody really "got" me. I have a very specific point of view. I realize that. But, I was surrounded by people that did not appreciate how out spoken I was about the things I felt strongly about. Next comes facebook. Through facebook, I have reconnected with some people from my past, the people who were my best of best friends. And talking with them, I realized that there ARE people who get me! After 23 years, I was able to pick up and chat the night away with my best friend form 3rd grade! Emails and chats miles away from another friend revealed painful moments in our pasts that we could both understand about each other- feelings that had previously been undescribable. The words flow freely with these people I have had real connections with. For me, it was like a huge weight was lifted, and I see the world in a whole new light. There ARE people who get me. I need to find more of those people to surround myself with, instead of trying to make myself someone I am not for people that can't connect with me.

Fridays...
Two things, totally unrelated to each other, occurred to me today.
1. Everybody should have a blog. If somebody doesn't want to hear what you have to say, they shouldn't have to sit and listen to you. Have a blog. If I want to know what you have to say, I'll read your blog. If I don't want to know what irrelevant crap you have to say today, I won't read your blog. This will also prevent you from having to share this irrelevant information separately to every individual you come into contact today, also preventing the people sitting right next to the last person you just "shared" with from having to hear the same story again. (A day in the life of a cubicle worker)
2. If you don't know how to drive in the rain, you should get off the road. Don't drive down the interstate at 15 miles an hour with your hazards on. You're in Florida. It rains here. A LOT. If you can't drive in the rain, stay home. And...to support my cause: It's ILLEGAL to drive in Florida with your hazards on.

Happy Weekend everyone!
