Face Palm

Never ceases to amaze me how gullible people are. Or maybe they aren't gullible maybe they just enjoy continuing the hate and spreading the bullshit. 

Social Media, is great, it can be truly awesome, but (yes folks there is always a but lol), it's also filled with hate and lies. It doesn't take much to see through the lies, a Google search, or even just common sense. That so called fact someone copied from a Government website, that is full of grammar errors and spelling mistakes?, that is not the truth. The letter a friends friends brothers friends cousin, they are sharing, is also not a fact. Don't be so damn gullible, take the time to research before you post something that is total bullshit, be responsible. And don't then defend it, you look like more of a fool when you do. 

Everyone gets up in arms over bullying, and rightly so it's disgusting. People rally and protest over the murderer who gets a lenient sentence, again rightly so. But those same people then go onto Social Media, and bully. Yep, that's what I said they bully. By posting a lie, by spreading it around, even to your small circle of friends, you are being a bully. Posting a picture of violence that is purported to be something it actually isn't, plastering someones face on line, that is all a form of bullying. You are doing exactly what a bully in a school does, picking on the weak and innocent. The police and attorneys, are the ones who build the cases against criminals, not you. For all you know that face you are spreading around gleefully, is innocent. Or you could be putting a crimp in the investigation. Sure spread around the Amber Alerts or news reports, but don't spread something around just because you see it shared on someone else's page, check your facts first. 

Don't get me wrong, I love Social Media. I love playing games on line, I love getting to know people from all over the world. But everyday I'm inundated with bullshit lol. While I get to know a lot of people, it's opened my eyes to just how gullible people can really be, and I'm absolutely gob smacked by their justifications surrounding their sharing of something so stupid a 3 year old would know it was bullshit. 

I don't claim to be the most intelligent person in the world, nor do I claim to know everything. But what I do know is that not everything I read on line is true. All the posts about some actor or singer going to share their wealth if you share their post, seriously? why the hell would you believe that, why the hell would they do that? It's such an obvious lie. And what about all the posts share with an amen if you want to help this baby blah blah. Seriously? How the hell would that help anyone? It doesn't, and it's a lie, been proven a lie time and time again. It's like the old chain letters that used to go around, if you break this chain etc, bullshit. I broke that damn chain and danced on it's remains lol. While you are sharing this supposed heartbreaking picture and story, the person who created and photo shopped it, is laughing maniacally and calling out "Suckered another one." from the basement they live in at their parents house. What they are really doing is spreading their evil tentacles around the world and loving it. Why would you want to help them do that? 

I have no doubt that there is some stories that are true, but do some research before sharing. I don't have an issue with anyone's beliefs or religion, I don't give a damn about their politics either, but I do have an issue with the sharing of what is obviously a lie. Use Social Media for the purpose it was meant to be for. Keep in contact with friends and family, play games, share jokes, post hilarious memes, or share your day. Don't use it to spread hate and lies, don't use it to spread blatant bullshit.

Fuck it Day

I need a 'fuck it' day. The day where you just say 'fuck it' and let everything slide. You might or might not get dressed, and you definitely won't shower, it's not mandatory to have clothes on while having a 'fuck it' day. but if you are a parent with young kids who are going to be there on your 'fuck it' day, it would probably be best to have something on. 

You could even include your kids, although I wouldn't recommend calling it a 'fuck it' day in front of them lol. Let's face it,whether we work out of the home, or in the home, as adults we are working every single day. If we have a day off, we are working in the garden or taking care of the house and shopping. Even in retirement, we still have responsibilities, we may not have as many, but they are still there. 

Wake up whenever you want, okay okay some of you may have babies, and they dictate your life, but do something different. Get up with the baby sure, but spend the day in your pjs. Leave that pile of washing you've got to do, forget the washing up, and the vacuuming this is a 'fuck it' day. Your kids are hungry, whatever you do, do not cook anything. A bowl of cereal for 3 meals a day is good on a 'fuck it' day. Let them grab some fruit, nothing wrong with only eating fruit for a meal. We've all done that ourselves while attempting to diet. Actually the fruit is better, no washing up sitting there trying to guilt you into actually doing something. 

'Fuck it' days are good for the whole family. Your kids will think it's great not getting dressed, like they do every other day. They'll love having you on the couch with them watching mindless cartoons. Lying in your bed with a pile of books will feel like a real treat, and they'll be begging for another 'fuck it' day before you know it. Well, hopefully they won't actually say 'fuck it' but you get my drift lol. Think of how relaxed you will all be by the time the day is over. You'll feel rejuvenated, and of course incredibly lazy, but it is an incredible way to unwind. 

I'm having a 'fuck it' day on my next day off, well hopefully, although we have a scheduled power outage, dammit. Oh well, I have the tablet and kindle, so I can still say 'fuck it' and do nothing. I'll be a sloth all day, probably stay in bed and revel in the 'fuck it' feeling. I'll forget I'm an adult, with bills to pay, and responsibilities (they are over rated anyway) and just do absolutely nothing. 

Sounds like heaven to me, and my kids are all grown up so I don't have to get them off to school, arguing the whole way there. Just a me day, a day for nothing. Ahhh. I'm feeling it already.

'Fuck it' doesn't just have to be about having a day off, it can also be for other things in your life. I've stopped arguing with someone who believes they are always right, but rarely is, instead I just smile, and in my head say 'fuck it', and walk away. Has made my life much nicer lol. It's a great stress reliever, work pisses me off all the time, but while I get rattled and tense, I always end up saying to myself 'fuck it' it's just a job. 

I still have days where saying 'fuck it' just doesn't work, it's not a cure all. But for me, it's a great stress reliever, and it helps me just step back. Push in front of me at the shops, 'fuck it', pull out in front of me on the road, 'fuck it', think you're better than me, 'fuck it' LOL. 

So there you go folks, step right up and buy Cathy's magic elixir, it will cure all your ills, cure baldness, cure that nagging wife, FUCK IT ELIXIR!!!  And it's free lol.
