Topics NOT to Blog about...

Given the degree of "heavy" the last post was and my neglect of writing recently, I have compiled a list of things I have come across in various published forms and blogs that in my opinion, though I will not stand in judgement of others or force my views on others, are not blog-able materials...

1. Your period. We all have them. They suck. We all act like bitches, doesn't it make it right, it happens, get over it. I don't need to know about bloating, ovulating, or flow. My interest in your cycle is only if you're my patient. ONLY then.

2. Your financial status. I don't care if you're rich or poor. If that's what you allow yourself to be defined in terms of, your issues are more than what writing can fix. Find a shrink. People don't need to hear about your filing for bankruptcy or your exact salary... because let's be real, do you really think people believe it, just because you wrote it?

3. Uneducated opinions. If you don't take the time to learn, then you can't take the time to have an opinion. Opinions aren't right and wrong... they're either informed or uninformed. Give me a smart person who disagrees with me any day over a person who is clueless and hangs on my every word.

4. Your replacement. If he moved on darling, so should you. Of course you're going to tell the world she looks like Urcela from the Little Mermaid... I'm sure compared to you she does, but it's his decision, his life, and you make yourself look worse by wasting words on it.

5. Reality TV stars. To be on a reality TV show, you only have one requirement: you can't have any talent. You go find your life, and hopefully (for the sake of us all) they will go find theirs.

6. One-night stands/STD's/hook-ups/etc. All that does is open yourself up to make you look like a dumbo. Your decisions especially in regards to your sexuality are your decisions, and some decisions (namely those regarding that aspect of your life) are best kept private between you and your loved ones... not the world wide web. I'm not judging you for any of them, I just don't think advertising the latest outbreak you have because of that guy from whatchyacallit bar is a good reflection on who you are as a beautiful person inside and out.

7. Your weird fetishes. For example, the poor girl who made the eHarmony video and put it on YouTube regarding her love of cats. Bless your heart honey, shedding tears over your obsession with a feline isn't the best way to get a date. I don't know what the best way is, I just know that's not it...
