I have no cute blog title and really nothing to blog about. Maybe if I type aimlessly for a couple of minutes, something will come to me.
Nope.
Not yet.
Nada.
Oh, I know. Last week on Facebook, there was an email sent around, asking women to post their bra colors on their pages. It started early that morning... I think I got my first invite by 6 a.m.
Then, it backfired.
I saw two different posts that day in which people were upset - one guy quoted scripture from the book of Matthew; another compared "us" to 7th graders.
What is funny is that it was for Breast Cancer Awareness.
What is even funnier is that the guy who quoted scripture always has pictures of him kissing his wife. Passionately, sometimes. What if I am offended by them?
And the chick who said that "we" are like 7th graders, well, chances are she has put her vacation pictures in a folder on Facebook and in those pictures she is wearing a sundress, a halter top or a bathing suit where we can actually SEE her boobs - or the cleavage she shows, anyways.
That is so funny for me.
Let's talk about Facebook, for a moment, shall we? I think that I have told my dilemma with FB before - I have heard stories of women and men who "befriend" past boyfriends, girlfriends and "partners" only to end up leaving their marriages for the other person; I have saw people post inappropriate pictures of their children naked.
Is FB that great of a thing? I feel like deleting it all the time. But then I would have no idea what my best friend from high school, my BFF from Partytime and my current BFF have going on.
We are of a time where no one picks up the phone: we text, we IM, and now, we Facebook people. What is the world going to be like in 5, 10 or even 20 years?
Interesting thoughts. One of my FB friends asked people to stop posting about that b/c "do you really want to think about that next time you see her at church?" What?!? Seriously, really and truly are grown men thinking that?!? For real. Then someone posted that this made the news and the Susan B. Coleman foundation thought that it was great because, again, awareness was raised for breast cancer. Get over it people. It is what it is, right? Nothing more. . .and those making it more than that don't have enough in their life. Pray for direction for them. (Did I tell you I was reading through comments from one of my friends in another state and someone in the school she teaches in printed out and turned into the principal something that was posted by a fellow tcher on FB. Now THAT is going too far. . .)
