I have a few good thoughts that I think people would want to read and I share those thoughts, but I haven't kept with one specific theme throughout any of them. (which is kind of like my life)
Sports, theater, education, family, movies, social media, running, music, and so on.
These are what define me.
I have never been a person who has been great at one thing. I've been good at a lot of things (pats self on back).
I have never been a person who has had a passion for just one thing and maximized it.
From the end of high school to now, I have barely done the same thing or lived at the same address longer than 2 years. I moved almost every year in college and bounced around a bit between Disney and back in Philadelphia.
But back to my writing.
Since being introduced to Facebook in 2004, I have been on it and utilized it a whole bunch. In college, people would tease me that I was on it too much. I even made a suggestion during an election that we should utilize Facebook, but others just said it wasn't going to turn into anything. Yeah... Facebook hasn't turned into anything at all...
I have gained over 4,000 Facebook friends since I've been on it. It's a following of sorts. I have kept those who have passed away, even just for picture memories. Facebook is an online journal. It's a way for others to know what's going on.
Some use Facebook for fun - for jokes and for sharing memes.
Some use Facebook for family - sharing pictures of kids and updates of health and wellness
Some use Facebook for work - sharing deals and other promotional items
Some use Facebook for health - for food ideas, for workouts, etc.
I use it for all of the above.
I love a status that gets people thinking, or motivated, or happy for the good things in someone's life. I try to wish everyone a happy birthday on the actual day because it's a nice thing and just let's someone know that someone is thinking of them. I post about movies and sports because someone else will feel the same or share the excitement or passion of that moment. I share moments with family, friends, and colleagues.
I'm an open book and kinda always have been. I'm not giving out my Social Security Number, my phone number, address, or any personal info. I'm not cursing or causing any ill-will on any person or negatively bashing any job or boss I have ever had.
Writing is a way of expression. When I tweet, I'm doing the same thing. It's getting thoughts out there that I want the world to hear.
People joke about "my blog", that I post too much or that I'm constantly on Facebook.
THERE ARE WORSE THINGS IN THE WORLD I COULD BE DOING WITH MY TIME AND WORDS!
If you don't like my blog, don't read it.
If you don't like what I post, de-friend or hide me. (Though those are childish reasons)
If you don't like what I have to say, that's your choice.
But telling me what I can and cannot write or what I should and should not post, should not be your judgement.
I don't post everything that I write; sometimes I just write it down and click delete. It's just getting it off my chest and/or mind.
This is my version of a journal. It's my journey that I'm willing to share with you. It's nothing like the over-sharing I mentioned before. I'm not sharing bathroom habits or anything of that sort.
I write because I like it and it's doing no damage to you, the reader, or anyone else.
