And here we are, made it to Saturday. A day many don't blog. (And the day I suspect many won't and the 7/7 posts will stop completely.)
So even though I have pretty much nothing to say, I am posting and getting it out of my system.
I know that this will make me the minority of my generation but I am starting to loathe the whole "25 Truths About Stay At Home Moms" or "30 Things That Will Make You Feel Old."
Pretty much Buzzfeed and the like in general. I don't need to hear vague reasons why I am old, I know that kids born in 1994 turn 20 this year. Because I can do simple math. And the generalizations of stay at home moms was true to an extent but really, anyone could write generalizations of any group and they'd be partly true.
Honestly, they make me a little bit mad. Why should we settle for these things to bring us entertainment?! Why aren't more people posting what books they've read or about Russia invading Ukraine instead of "What State They Should Really Live In" and so forth?
My generation of people is turning their brains to mush one stupid quiz at a time. And it's bad enough that if you take the quiz you can tell with the first question what your result is going to be. But posting it, then debating living in Seattle over Paris with the other drones who took the test is a little extreme.
Oh the internet, such a fabulous invention (Thanks Al Gore!) but such a time waster.
I have no solution and clearly I spend my time blogging and reading blogs so I'm really one to talk about wasting time on the internet. But I have at least expressed my feelings on the matter and now I can probably let it go.
Sing it, sister.
