My Blogging Debut

I decided to start a blog because I like to put my thoughts into words. For the last half decade, I have used, Facebook, Twitter and other forms of social media to share and express my opinions. However, I am still unsatisfied with social media. Twitter forces me to put my thoughts in 140 characters or less. Instagram only puts my thoughts in pictures. Facebook would make a great blog, but my Facebook friends (except those over 30) aren't interested in reading long posts. Meaning posts that has the link that says "see more". What's ironic is most of my Facebook friends' posts are short, but they're not worth reading. I'm not saying I don't like Facebook, I'm just saying I regret accepting certain friend requests. I started unfriending lots of people because I didn't like what was on my news feed. I also started deleting people who send me a game request. Even one game request will get you off of my friends list.

I recently unfriended someone I went to high school with. She is black, muslim, and attends The University of Texas at Austin. Obviously, we are both completely opposite because I'm male, white, Catholic, and I attend Texas A&M University at Galveston (a branch of Texas A&M University). Despite being completely opposite, we've never argued or disagreed with each other. However, after our fresman year at our respective universities, she started posting things that were very Liberal. I usually don't agree with liberals and I did what I usually do when I see political Facebook statuses. I commented a joke that contradicted the subject. You know you're better than someone when your comment has more likes than the status itself. Her response was that my comment was not funny and this is a very serious issue that everyone should be aware of. Before this semester, she posted a status that was about how frat boys get their tuition paid for and she had to work to pay for her tuition. She also thought that since guys who are in a fraternity aren't grateful for their education because they don;t pay for it themselves. I had never disagreed with someone so much in my whole life. I replied by saying I'm not going to finish reading this because I already know it's bullshit. I then unfriended her and never heard from her again. Now I couldn't be happier with my life.

So the reason I started this blog is to avoid reading bullshit that would force me to unfriend people. I will admit, that is a dumb reason because the internet is full of dumb people who write dumb things all the time. And some people who read my blog will disagree with me and think I'm full of shit. It's crazy how the internet works, right?

Hopefully this blog will be worth reading. This is only my first entry, but trust me they'll get better.
