Howdy All! Miss me yet? Sweet Jebus it has been a minute since I wrote here. I have had a weird few weeks, but who hasn’t? Let us see what has happened since I was last here

• Ukraine / Russia at war
• COVID19 is “gone” – lol can’t wait to see when this blows up in our faces
• the RIGHT has lost their damn mind, and the LEFT can’t make their minds up
• Britney Spears is pregnant

I mean that is a LOT to deal with!

I have had some time to think lately. One of the things I’ve been aware of is just how much time I was spending on social media. Because of this magical revelation, I’ve decided to remove myself from those platforms. I deleted snapchat, instagram, and I am in the process of removing myself from Facebook / Meta whatever bullshit you want to call it. It has all just become too much. I feel like I have lost part of myself over the years because of how much focus and time I’ve spent glued to my phone or my computer seeing who “liked” my posts and the God’s honest truth is….who the fuck cares?

What matters in life is not how many likes I get, or knowing my friend John had an “epic night.” If John had such an epic night 2 things. A. I should have been there or B. John can call me and tell me. I think the original idea of social media is nice, but we always take things to the extreme. I wouldn’t mind sharing photos and stuff, but then those corporations own my material. Screw that. I am going to stick with my blog, post my own photos, own stories, and not worry about someone hacking my phone call log.

SO. Here we are. My guess is by May I will have removed myself from all social media besides this blog and I am ok with it. If people want to get to know me, get to know me on the phone, in person, face-to-face but I am tired of the fake. I want to experience the world for what it is, not how other people are getting to experience it. I want to go back to when I was a kid. When going outside meant endless adventure possibilities. Where reading a book could transport you to another world. Where kids were allowed to be kids. So, if you need my phone number, or personal email, or hell, my real ADDRESS (snail mail anyone?) just shoot me a message and I will gladly respond.

I promise to write more about my life, my experiences, and the like. Like tonight for example, I get to leave work early, go to the United Center, skate on their ice, then watch a “Pride Night” game with my hubs. I mean that sounds like fun to me, but tune in tomorrow when I recap what actually happens!

Remember that if nobody has told you lately, that you are AMAZING. Never forget that. Have an amazing day ya’ll. Spread Kindness by Example.
