blog on!

***disclaimer:  yes, its friday night... i'm posting a non-picture, pretty ridiculously lame post.. why? thought you would never ask! because i'm at the byu library with jeremy watching him study. never a dull friday night with the Calls, i'll tell you what

let's chat. 

i don't consider myself a "blog freak".. you know blogging 10 hours a day (seriously, more power to you if that's what you enjoy doing), although i'll be the first to admit i think its one of greatest invention of all time (next to cucumbers in vinegar). i love reading ALL your blogs, keeping up with your cute children/spouses/vacations/etc.  keeping up with friends i NEVER see.

with that in mind... i have my full body armor on ready to defend any bloggers in need of defense.

 

i have overheard a few discussion by random people... and have read a few things as i have surfed various blogs that i'm not too down with.  so lets get jiggy with it..... 

(side note... this is not meant to be a negative post, just want to back ALL my blogger hommies up out there)

"blogs are for people who want to brag about themselves and how perfect their life is"

"people try to make their life sounds so perfect in blogland"

"blogs are a perfect way to live in a fairy tale land, and fool other people to believe you are liv'n the dream"

"no one wants to hear about your going to the grocery store, or how delightful your moonlight walk was"

....etc.....

sound familiar?? ..... heard or read any of these or something similar??

i'm sure my opinion makes a HEEP of difference to you all... but .... well, i'm here for you ladies (and gentlemen).  BLOG ON... brag on ... exaggerate on... to your hearts content.... cuz you know why

ITS YOUR BLOG... its your website. 

whether you blog to journal, to scrapbook, or even if you blog to escape reality... flaunt it how you want it girl! it's your time to shine... and everyone's sunshine is completely different. don't let anyone tell you or make you feel like you can't spice up your blog life!  do and say whatever you darn well please.  if it makes you feel better to talk about the "grand" ... "fantabulous" things going on in your life, and sometimes even sugar coat them... more power to ya sugar.   

as for me, i consider myself an optimist.. for the most part (don't get me wrong, occasionally i have to walk up hill in the snow both ways!) and i think everyone knows NO ONE's life is perfect, but when i sit down by jeremy with ESPN blazing in the background, and start posting on my cheesehead blog... the positive things are what MOST often come to mind to record, not those rare times i want to drop kick that cute hubs of mine. ha. 

therefore... as you are blog surf'n.... 

just grab a diet coke, or crystal lite.. or bud lite for that matter (okay maybe not that one, but just make it sugar free for heck sake) and don't worry about how perfect someone else is trying to make their life sound, and on the other end of things.. don't worry about what you write... write what your digg'n at that particular moment. 

read blogs as novels or just enjoy the pictures, whether it be fiction or non-fiction... or don't read it at all, your choice.  i mean gosh... come one.. at least i'm giving you two choices there! ha.  

(as if i have a say)  

but then again.. i do have a say... Cuz this is MY blog. ha. 

again.. not meant to be negative.. hope you took all this as lightly as i have... 

but seriously..  if people are going to spend the time talking about how lame blogs are .... and how people SHOULD blog.... and how people are being fake through blogging ... i'm going to throw my 2 cents right back at cha. 

so like i said BLOG on...  

**yes, i obviously had a long time to do nothing in the library. and no, i'm not bitter toward anyone at all.. actually just laughing out loud that i  have even spent time writing this non-sense...  just had some time to kill, ha) 

have a good night blogland.
