The first of our new weekly posts. We’re going to share our favorite status updates that made us laugh and/or cry of the week. First, we have a post sent to us by a reader… Thank you for sharing your disgust in a straight to the point, sarcastic wit that made us smile with joy:
Next we have a friend of ours’ who give his take on current events…
And finally, one that proves what we’ve been saying all along. Our blog’s on the right path according to this individual:
See you next Friday!
About 10 minutes ago, we here at Thanks for The News (that’s right there’s more than one of us) got inspired by some local action. An earthquake of 5.9, 5.7, or 5.4 magnitude, it totally depends on where you look, hit. The epicenter was around Palm Springs – a mere 122 miles away from our (secret, underground) location.
We definitely felt the rocking motion and it got us all riled up… a potential blog topic. Within minutes of the earthquake, we turned to Facebook and Twitter to see the plethora of posts and we had to share our favorites with you:
Last night at midnight a pale, sparkly vortex robbed Americans of $30 million dollars in just 3 hours. This vortex, also known as “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” now holds the record as the highest grossing midnight release in American film history. Congratulations you shimmering bloodsuckers, you have our attention. More importantly, you have the attention of Tweeters (twatters?) and Facebook status updates everywhere.
I’ll admit it, I read the books- they were pretty good for three or four steps below J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter….but these movies? Come on, admit it….they are just awful. I’d rather have the life slowly sucked out of me than stay up until midnight and sit in a theatre for 3 hours to watch quite possibly the 3 worst actors of our time battle it out in a forest. This just goes to show that Hollywood is more interested in money than making truly ground-breaking cinematic works.
Of course, according to Twitter and Facebook, Eclipse is one of the hottest things in town*****….and maybe they have a point. Even those who don’t consider themselves twihards, tweet or, in my case, blog about it. At least I’m not one of the 20-40 year old professionals who stayed up until midnight to waste away my hard-earned cash. In fact, I reserve the right to make fun of said people below:
At least not everyone is caught in the vortex:
Oh MIB, how I love thee:
*****Let it be known that Twilousy is NOT the hottest thing in town as “Deathly Hollows” is the number one trending topic on Twitter, and rightfully so! Harry Potter for life!
Billions of years ago, therapy didn’t exist. Psychotherapy didn’t become popular until the 1950s, and even then it wasn’t something you shared with anyone else. Ten years ago, everyone was in therapy; if you could afford it. Parent’s divorcing? Therapy. Witnessed a murder? Therapy. Broken heart? Therapy. Bad hair cut? Therapy. With all of the bad days sprinkled in-between the good ones, and with the economy making it difficult to afford necessities…who can afford therapy once a week these days? Enter: “FREE THERAPY,” or as some call it, “FACEBOOK.”
We all have bad days, we all have troubles. If you are occasionally complaining about the state of your life, I understand: We all do it. However, if you feel the need to use my news feed as your own personal therapist’s couch….I have this wonderful magical button called “HIDE.” I might care a bit more if I actually knew you. If we are just “facebook friends” ie went to 2nd grade together….I really don’t want to help you decide if you should break up with your boyfriend or not.
QUICK TIP: if you need a good place to air your troubles, try a journal. Here’s a nice one: click me! (It even has a lock on it!)
