Let Me Apologize

First off, I started this blog to help me sort out some of my thoughts.  I could even classify it as diary, although there is no lock and key, and I'm not concerned with whomever reads it.  There are no deep dark secrets in here.

But mostly I started it to complain.

Complain about what? you might ask.  Well pretty much everything.

I obviously can't complain about things in my life (even if they are trite complaints, and not REAL complaints) on my personal Facebook page, because it warrants a BARRAGE of the "you-should-be-grateful" anecdotes and the "why-are-you-worried-about-little-things" comments.  I understand everyone has their opinion, and that they are entitled to it, but shouldn't it work the other way around.  I mean C'MON REALLY?  Do you think that I would post the weight of the world on a FB status update?  I know people do, but that's not my game.  And let me narrow it down, that it's not EVERYONE on my page that has to comment their "i'm-better-than-you-and-i-know-more-than-you" smarmy-ness...there are only handful of those people.

So delete them, you might say.

Well I would, but for a variety of reasons I can't...at the moment.  One is a "family" member, so if I do the whole of the earth will come crashing down on me with the feedback that would get me.  Another is in a position, that for the moment, could inevitably make our life hell (I won't divulge into that any more right now, I'll save that tidbit for a little later).  Also, I don't want to be THAT person, that goes through their list periodically and starts giving people the axe, because I like to think that I'm a nice person.  Ok, maybe I only comment/like/KNOW about 60% of my list, but I obviously would like to know them better or they wouldn't be my "friend" on Facebook.  I mean, you can't delete friends in real life, and if you could, that just seems rather painful for both parties involved.  (I see a divorce settlement down the line where the argument would end up being who deleted who first on FB, seriously)

Wait, I'm re-thinking this whole complaint.  Here I am complaining about someone else complaining about my original complaint.  I guess I can't really be mad at someone for complaining when I am also complaining.

I just want everyone to think before they comment on someone else's whiny status.  Like if I say:

I don't need you to add how I should be grateful that at least I had oatmeal this morning.  Or that I even woke up this morning.  Or how the government had it's hand in making my oatmeal cold this morning.  And I don't really think my life sucks, because of cold oatmeal - although cold oatmeal is pretty sucky!

I just needed to vent.  So let me complain on my status, and I'll let you complain on your status.  I'll even throw a couple of "lol"s ":)" and a "hope ur day gets better!" for good measure on your's.  Because I'm good like that.
