Where have the thoughts gone?

I realize that I am neglecting this blog.  Really this is because I end up posting on www.blurtdaily.com  instead.    I assumed that this would not interfere with my personal blog since we can only post once a week, but it has.   So to compensate, when I post to blurtdaily I am going to put the links here.   Here are my prior posts:

What Time Is It?

I like watches. I don't wear them, but I like them.  I think my taste is unique. Here are a couple that I've run across made by a company called Tokyo Flash.  Let me know what you think? 

1. 2.   

3. 4.  

5.  6. 

I think 1. is my favorite.  

Facebook Discretion

I know I’m not the only one who used to play the “in the bedroom game.”  It’s where, after eating Chinese food, everyone would open their fortune cookies and read their fortune out loud, adding “in the bedroom” to the end (I really hope I’m not the only one who used to do this).  Then everyone would laugh.  You’d end saying funny things like:

·        You will encounter a great job opportunity… in the bedroom!

·        You will have the chance to help someone in need… in the bedroom!

·        Imagination is more important than knowledge… in the bedroom!

 Well, I think something similar is happening with Facebook.  I’ve read some status updates lately that are kind of unusual/funny/embarrassing, and I’m wondering if people have opened up their Facebook fortune cookies and can’t help letting loose.  Here are some recent examples (with names changed to hide their real identity J  ):

·        Ted thinks he may have accidentally joined the Masons on his way home from work today.

·        Mike is on Facebook at work, instead of working at work.

·        Teresa is waiting for her husband to get home so she can give him some lovin.

·        John is [expletive] [expletive] tired of waiting for the [expletive] [expletive] people.

 Not that I have a problem with any of this. I find it entertaining!  But I think with my more conservative attitude (some who know me from back-in-the-day will be confused here), I wondered if they bothered to add on the Facebook fortune cookie line, “and I’m going to tell my 253 friends about this.”  Maybe they have, and they really want to share this with everyone. But I have to assume this last one may have second guessed telling her 168 friends… Michelle has diarrhea!
