Everybody has jumped on some sort of social network and spilled their lives guts to the FB world. I will be the first person to raise my hand and say that I admit to spending entirely too much time on the internet. I am fascinated by it. Always have been and always will be. I am a Internet & Computer JUNKIE! I remember going to a friends house when I was younger just because they were the only one to have AOL. lol Back then chatting away on AOL with a random stranger was more common. I always remembered the first line when your IM box popped up... A/S/L? and then the question followed, do you have a pic? Back then it seemed impossible unless you had some computer genius at the house, to actually scan your own 35mm picture in. lol **Technology is Awesome** It has evolved so much when it comes to people sharing their everyday lives... which brings me down to the meat of this post. What you share. You can share your location, pics, videos, articles, blah blah blah, etc, etc, etc... the list goes on! Most people know what to share and what not to share. I can say that I take full responsibility in all the things I do share, regardless of them being appropriate in your eyes or mine. I won't deny any pics or words that I post at all. Which leads me to other discussions we can have about things people leave out there for other people to see. Be smart, if you don't want anybody to see them, don't post it. I will tell you this **it may shock you** or you may be the same exact person that I am. If you are contacting me Via internet, you bet I AM going to Google you! :) Plain and simple, I'd like to know who I am dealing with since I didn't meet you in person from the jump. People seem to be a bit naive when it comes to the internet and being private. If you are not already aware of what you post on the internet or others close to you do about yourself then you should start to be more aware. You may be shocked in knowing that there is more out there then you know! This is why some people know more about you then you actually think they do... :) I know a bit more about some people that I'd like to know lol but sometimes when you or your loved ones put these things out there, I can't help but to read on and be entertained... Like I said, I am an internet Junkie... You post it, I read it! I'll giggle and share it! (if it's worth it) You may think that I am just nosey, I don't care. It's public information. Obviously. I didn't pay a fee to read it or hack something to read it, It was put out there. In the Open space we are all so addicted to. So think about some of the things you tell people before you do. They probably already saw it in a picture that was posted and it's far from the story that you just told.

So I said that my intention was not to be a writer but sometimes there are just thoughts that you need to get out of your head.

Hmm So I think I may stop ranting for a bit about what I know and what I don't know, but just know that people take notice. This blog post may have not been all with it and on the same page, but that's just me. I'm not all "with it" lol I like to rant sometimes... shoot me. lol On that note, Happy Friday! Have a Wonderful Weekend and become Aware! ;)
