I haven't really slept in two days. I am wondering if it's starring into my iPad and playing games or reading. So, I am going to revisit going to bed earlier and forgetting my games and reading. Not fun walking around in a daze and everyone thinking you are stoned out of your mind.
I am also revisiting Facebook. Like deleting it permanently. Social media is depressing. Lets take for example the death of David Bowie .
The day David Bowie died...what I would have appreciated learning about the information just once. Just once like in the newspapers or on the news. No, it was post after post that David Bowie was dead. I KNOW HE IS DEAD !! Post after post of the same news articles and pictures of David Bowie. I am not ruthless and have a cold heart . I do like David Bowie. No, I am not the hugest fan, but I did enjoy all of his music. I think it was the obvious that he was dead and yet I had to be reminded over and over again and I really then wanted to read something uplifting and maybe even slightly intellectual. Yes, I said intellectual. Not snobby (ish) perhaps a article where I might learn something.
So, is it wrong to be upset that everyone kept posting David Bowie died ? Is it wrong for everyone to express their grief ? NO. However, it's how it made me feel. It made me really sad. Yes I was sad he died. I thought he goodbye album is amazing and poetic. This is new though a new way of dealing with death. Where its in your face over and over again. It was one day, but there will be more deaths. Yes, I am really bothered by this..
It's just an example of things that I am reading on Facebook. People being butchered on beaches, babies being raped, babies being murdered, people from Syria trying to move to the US and being rejected. Are these up lifting powerful stories or just stories that I read that make me unhappy ? However, I do like being able to keep in touch with people globally. Hmm... I need a job...I need a life...and a house...and a maid...and..a freaking hobby. I am trying painting and stitchery...but I don't know what to paint...and I need some guidance with the stitchery. Everyone is online all the time and NOBODY does anything creative anymore.
Planning at trip by train to NOLA. I am going to drink and eat the most amazing food and listen to the most amazing Jazz....well, that's the plan.
Now, how long is it going to take for me to delete this post ?
