My social media is just absolutely dominated with pictures of peoples kids. I’m not complaining. When i do post its usually a picture or the little gremlin too. But its weird.
Most of the ‘freinds’ I have on these things are people that I dont even fucking know anymore. Like I havent spoken to them in over 10 years. Even back then, the only time I spoke to them was when I was drunk.
But I can tell you all about their kids that I have absolutely no fucking connection to whatsoever.
I am sure there is a lesson somewhere in here about internet anonymity and privacy and whatever, but I am not going to be the one to give that lecture.
All I want to do is point out that this is a really, really, weird time to be alive. Knowing that little bobby, who belongs to that girl I tried to talk to after I split up with my ex mrs 10 years ago but failed and never spoke to again, just moved up a grade in his swimming lessons: is some of the most useless fucking information I could possibly obtain.
There is absolutely zero reason for me to have that knowledge in my brain. And yet its full of it.
Im not complaining. I dont think its bad necessarily. Its just a thing. A weird thing that comes with participating in the weird world that we are living in.
Theres also the people that havent had kids yet. They are either super successful, or still partying in ways I wish I could if I still had a full kidney. Again, i dont think this is bad, but just seeing the different paths people take is such a head trip.
Old mate from school doing shots at 7:30pm on a saturdat night while I watch the video of it on my phone and use the light from video to try and pluck the grey hair that just sprouted next to my nipple.
This brain full of acquaintance facts is only going to become even more full as more platforms get released, and as I join those platforms in an attempt to not become one of those dudes who just complains about how everything was better back in their day, and then struggles to find the caps-lock key.
It would be nice to shut of from it all for a while though i think. Maybe I will ‘accidentally’ drop my phone in the toilet some time soon. Then I can go back to thinking about my own problems for a while. Might also give me something to talk about with people when I cant avoid them in the shopping isle because we already made eye contact. Like “How ya been?” As if i dont already know you just bought your first house and had eggs benny for breakfast .
