1. The play-by-play

I'm going out now. i'm stuck in traffic. i've reached my destination. i'm going for lunch. i cant decide what to eat. I've just had the best fish-and-chips ever. i'm on the way home. I'm heading to bed.

Really, I dont care.

2. One words

___is bored
___ is tired
____ is sick

Telling us you’re tired, bored, sleepy, awake or excited is never going to set the world alight, and just looks like you’re trying to remind people you’re still alive.


3. Passive Agression

Do you really think the object of your aggression is ever going to read what you have written and react to it in such a way that it will change the severity of your aggression. I'm sorry, but it has never happened.

4. Too much Information

There are really some things that you dont want to be broadcasting to the world. Really, think before you type. It will come back to bite you in the ass.

5. Statuses intented to invoke jealousy

yes, i hope you are enjoying your holiday. but there is no need to rub it in everyone elses face that they are not in paradise with you.

Let me tell you why I think birthdays are important.

It’s not for the presents, cake or the party.In fact, i dont even like parties. But it’s for the fact that, birthdays bring people together. And as we become more and more consumed with our own ambitions, those times get far and few in between.

It’s a time to let people know how much they mean to you and to understand what we mean to others. A birthday is a opportunity life gives us, to show how much we treasure a loved one. Much too often, when we lose someone, we find ourselves missing these times. We find ourselves in bitter regret for having not spent enough time with that person or longing for that last chance to show how much you care. In the end, it’s these moments that occasions like birthdays create that we remember and keep close to our hearts.

So don’t tell me it’s just a birthday. It means much more than that to me. I used to think the same. It’s just a birthday, just another day, another will come. That’s the thing you see, there's no guarantee of you being here next year. For those of you who don’t care much for birthdays or anniversaries, you may think I’m being dramatic and the sad truth is that I probably will never be able to convince you. You’ll have to learn it the hard way. But I sure hope not. It took a more than I cared to lose for me to re-evaluate the little things in life.
Sure, the argument can be made, that these things shouldn’t only be done on special occasions. But we forget don’t we? We always forget.

So that's why I think birthdays are important.

And I really wish that you could be here to spend mine with me.
