Cruel Summer

Well, its almost summer and many areas the temps are quite convincing that summer has arrived early. Now, with all the social distancing  rules and hopefully common sense in place, I wonder how this is going to affect summer activities. I’ve seen plenty of shots on the news that showcase plenty of activity at the beaches. I really hope that people will stop listening to politicians about this virus, do a little bit of research for themselves, and protect each other. I know people are worried about the economy, but if this virus keeps wiping people out at the rate it’s been going…well, let’s just say, dead people don’t spend money either. No matter what you believe, please stay safe…the virus is real and before its over, we will all have lost someone to this horrific pandemic. Its better to endure ONE cruel summer than lose them all.

Last One

With any luck, this will be the last picture edited without the use of Photoshop. I’m taking that break I mentioned before and I’m working on learning some new techniques. I’m using Black Dragon to take the photos and I’m using Photoshop to edit. This is going to be a huge change for me, so it might even seem like my photos are getting worse before they get better. I certainly hope they don’t get worse and obviously, that isn’t the goal, but that’s how it goes sometimes, isn’t it? Take time away from any of my blogging obligations is going to be difficult enough as it is…I don’t know how NOT to blog anymore. So, yes, you will still see some stuff from me, but probably not two or three posts a day. *laughs* I just don’t have the time that I once had, not to mention that I want to make this about quality, instead of quantity. Wish me luck and feel free to contact me privately with any feedback you might have. I can handle constructive criticism. I promise.♥

How to Facebook

A dear friend of mine recently joined the SL Facebook trend. She was shocked and dismayed at some of the hate speech that was filling her timeline. Naturally, I told her to delete these people, cuz that’s what I do. However, this got me thinking about how I hear various people complaining about what they see on their timelines. Do they not know how to Facebook or are they so afraid of missing out that they subject themselves to a constant flow of toxicity?
Let me just say, this is how I Facebook, there’s not wrong or right way, I suppose. Yet, if you follow a few simple guidelines, you can enjoy you social media so much more! First and foremost, don’t add just anyone…make sure you have a lot of friends in common. Odds are better for everyone this way. Secondly, unfollow people that get on your nerves, but you don’t want to unfriend. I mean, if they are posting tons of baby pictures or planning a wedding, etc, I’m likely to unfollow them or snooze them for 30 days, cuz I don’t care about that stuff. Nor do I want to see all that. Block can also be your friend, but I save that for extreme circumstances.
So, really, you have more control over your timeline than you think. Keep the funny, positive people and unfollow the whiney, bitchy ones. I mean its all about how you choose to feed your timeline.

Holiday In My Head

“Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head

And what you want, what you really need
Are two different things wouldn’t you say
The line is thin between fun and sin
And we’re all clocking in for the day
And our only care is what to wear”

Salt in the wound

“You put salt in the wound
And a kiss on my cheek
You butter me up
And you sit down to eat
You add insult to injury
You say you believe in me
But you haven’t decided
About taking or leaving me”

We Have Our Ways

I use my blog to work things out on paper sometimes. I’ll write about stuff I’m going through or stuff that I’ve watched friends go through. Sometimes I talk about how much I dislike people, but the truth is….people fascinate me. They also scare the shit outta me, because in the past I’ve let people get too close too fast and it has rarely worked out. These days, my trust issues are the size of full blown subscriptions and prevent that from happening too often these days, but even the slow grown friends have been known to burn me on occasion.
Now, with all that said, I’d like to say that I do have an amazing group of good friends that will not burn me. Nor I them. I’ve had issues with three of them and like grown ass adults, we worked through it every time. We’re not perfect, but we have our ways of understanding what matters at the end of the day. Our love for one another is bigger than the petty shit we tend to get upset about. I am so blessed to be surrounded by beautiful, strong souls that love me as much as I love them. It shouldn’t surprise anyone to know that my best friends are cunts and motherfuckers….*laughs*….yes, that’s what we call each other and ourselves. We’re not families, we like cults, and there’s no getting out! *grins*

You Won’t Stop Me

“How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to know the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you’ll see
You won’t stop me

I am a fighter and I
I ain’t goin’ stop
There is no turning back
I’ve had enough

‘Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter”
