Hey...Nice Status!

Oh the weekends...how we love you so!

So get this...I was driving to lunch today and saw a bunch of people rushing out of their cars, and running over to the intersection I was heading to...Apparently this dude got hit by a car while riding his bike...He was laid out when I drove by (obvious statement, I know!) and all of the people were freaking out...There was no ambulance or police there yet, so it must have just happened...I was in a little bit of a hurry, so of course in my mind I was thinking "OK rubber-neckers...get moving...I know you want to see a mangled man in the street, but I have shit to do...get going already"...either way I hope he is okay and thankfully I got there before the traffic got too backed up :) I hope the guy isn't roadkill...I'll tell you what though, his bike was a mess...he's gonna need a new Schwinn for sure (if he can ever ride a bike again).

So this morning I was thinking...again in the shower (it's either there, or on the can that I do the most thinking)...And by the way, I did have a very off the wall thought on the can one day...Here it is...The majority of people nowadays are pretty tech savvy and from what I can see on the social networking sites...mostly facebook (that's the only one I really use)...a lot of people update their profiles or do status updates from their cell phones right?...Well I wonder how much people use their cell phones like a newspaper when they are taking a crap? Or better yet...How many people are actually updating their status while they are on the pot? I suspect a lot...and if that's the case, I wish they would be truthful about their updates and say "I'm on the can right now updating my status"...Wouldn't that be refreshing?...an honest update...I mean we're tired of knowing what everybody's having for dinner right?...I'm guilty of posting my dinners too...Why do we do that? Is it because we have nothing else to update with? It's like facebook small talk (like talking about the weather in real life...because facebook isn't real life...right?...or is it? :))...So, here's a question to ponder and I just thought of it...What would your status updates be if they were constantly in lights over your head everywhere you went? If I were walking down the street right now in lights over my head would be (and this is really my current status) "Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow...Everybody needs a bosom"...That would look a little weird (it happens to be a lyric from a song that I heard at work, for those who don't know)...People would think I was a total weirdo if that were over my head...But I'm just a regular dude...I'm not too weird...Not according to my status though...I'm a FREAK...people would tell their kids to stay away from me :)...Thankfully it's our friends on facebook and they know us well enough to know it's a joke (I hope)..How about going on a job interview with your status over your head that says "Can't wait to be out this bitch yo" (that's an actual one from right now...and I love it), but imagine if that's what was over your head in lights...Every morning we would look in the mirror and say "oh I'm having a bad status day :), but I'm too lazy to change it"...So people would walk around with old statuses (is that even right?...statuses?) that said things like..."TGIF" on Wednesdays...or "Lasagna for Dinner" and people would comment on them saying "Wow Bill you've had lasagna a lot this week"..."I know, I guess I should change that...haha"...AND what if the comments that people left on your updates were written on your back so people behind you in line at the supermarket could read them...OK I'm rambling on...this isn't even what I wanted to blog about today, but it is what it is...Have a great weekend!

See Ya'll....KC
