This is really something to talk about.. I think. If not, then I am completely going nuts and am in the process of turning into a cynical bitch in my older age. And by old age I mean the ripe YOUNG age of 28. But I am noticing this more and more and thought it'd be wise to get it out in the open so that we could all either agree, disagree.. or agree to disagree.
Now everyone has a friend or two who are in somewhat unhappy relationships. This could be for any reason at all - I won't even bother to name specifics - but you know who I'm referring to. And obviously, this is not something that I am trying to draw attention to in any positive way - but more bringing to light a point and that is: why on Earth would you go on Facebook.. the world's most frequented and abused social network to confess your undying love for your significant other - who any of your real friends knows is driving you f'n crazy?!!??!
Is this because the percentage of people in your friend pool doesn't really know what's actually going on in your life and is rather following what's going on with you strictly through Facebook? Meanwhile - the rest of your friends...this is your actual friends now...are all sitting around hanging out wondering - why the F did so and so post on their status today that they have never been happier in their life.. when just last night they were texting you about how much they can't stand so and so.
This type of text would lead you to believe that there is a sense of unhappiness in the air and the type of status update I just referred to is relatively unwarranted. What is the point then??! Why broadcast to the entire world that you are living this life that is not true? I don't get it. And I mean I've been in really bad relationships...I guess it just worked out for me that they were all before Facebook. I'm so lucky... I know.
What do we think about this? Am I crazy? I find a much better place for this type of banter is on blackberry messenger status. At least that's a little bit of a smaller audience than the more than 500 million active users on Facebook. Just an observation.
Please share..

Let's Fight
After so many years of being single and watching friends...some closer than others.. go in and out of relationships...stay in wonderful relationships and everything in between - I have come to one gigantic conclusion: people genuinely enjoy fighting (this includes arguing, pouting and anything of the sort). This probably sounds like the most ridiculous statement but I can honestly say that I used to be like this. Way back in the day when I used to be in college...I was in a long distance relationship and well.. what other reason to fight than absolutely no reason at all. And looking back now I just don't get it.
The irony in this now is that I have completely removed myself from this scenario all together by choosing to be single...until the end of time. Just kidding.. but for the past year or so...and I have witnessed more of the 'college Erin' behavior than I'd like to admit. And as I always do - I'll resist mentioning names and speak entirely in generalizations. What the FUCK is wrong with all of you??? And to be honest - I can't even lie and say that it's equally as much the girls fault as it is the guys'. No. It's ENTIRELY the girls' fault. Why do we all act like this?!?!? Sure it could be insecurities. It could be attention whoriness (definitely a word). It could be their friends ultimate unhappiness which results in severe projecting...never a good thing. I mean the possibilities are endless.
But seriously - what is the point??!?!! Why is it that we all have a problem just being happy with our lives the way they are?!?! It's sickening to me. And even though I am a complete hypocrite saying that - I am going to say it anyway and leave you all with some advice.
As long as you are with someone who makes you happy...you make them happy and you both genuinely enjoy each other's company...you're good to go. So lock that shit up and stop picking fights. It's annoying and pointless. You can be spending your time doing much more important stuff...like going to Chipotle...or something.
Night night.

Sex is the Worst Thing...If it's the Only Thing
How's that for a title after not blogging for MONTHS!!! I'm constantly amazed at how long I can go without writing anything down. More often than not it explains my snappy attitude that comes out every now and again (more often than not lately at work) but it truly is therapeutic for me to write so I am going to make a conscious effort to start this glorious blog back up again.
So that no one is confused - I will still be writing about things I read (?), things I hear about, witness, want to witness...etc. in hopes that they are all along the same lines as what everyone else is experiencing and hence the foundation of a pretty decent conversation. I figure it's the least I can do when society is forcing us to speak in acronyms that are only known by the youth of America but being misused by our parents...some of them I should say. By no means am I referring to my mother here - the Facebook guru. She can do no wrong now that I have moved out of the house and want nothing more than for her to come visit me every day.
As usual - I have gone off topic. Sex. Yes. And casual sex at that. What in the hell is up with this topic? Never in my life have I heard more conflicting stories. But I'll tell you what - they are all GREAT stories which is why I figured this would make for a phenomenal blog.
I've taken it upon myself to compile all of the stories, the woes, the juice and everything else in the middle that pertain to this topic and summarize it in one sentence: Sex is the worst thing if it's the only thing. Great title for a blog post if you're looking for one. While casual sex has it's place in this world.. and I truly do believe that.. I've decided it's ultimately evil. Even when people I know have had what they describe as 'amazing sex with this guy on a regular basis but have no actual ties to' - they almost always come back to me with - 'Oh.. I haven't heard from him' or 'Oh...he asked if he could Facebook my friend.' Unless both parties involved have no interest in emotions - permanently - it really can only end badly. Or..if one of the parties involved has nothing but emotions but doesn't think they know what they want and therefore proceeds to act really awkwardly and off-putting in an effort to curb their immature ways..it's just bad news bears.
Regardless of the fact that I am now... finally.. living on my own in Red Bank...I have absolutely no desire to get involved in these shenanigans. I'd much rather go out and WALK to any of my favorite places and watch all of the madness unfold so that I can continue to come home...yes..alone...but to write about all of the wackiness I see during my adventures. You can all thank me some other time for keeping you entertained.
I would love to hear if you all have differing views. If you've had amazing casual relations and absolutely, in no way would you lead someone away from this glorious path. Just keep in mind - I'm not taking that bait. Just simply trying to make for a nice conversation. Can't wait to see what my mother has to say about this.
It's good to be back...
