Sappy, Laughable Stupidity

I am VERY active on facebook. Which is probably why I am not good at blogging regularly. One of my favorite facebook applications is called ‘Pieces of Flair’ by RockYou. I love flair. They’re pretty much buttons.  But when browsing for flair, I can help but roll my eyes – and just plain laugh – at some of the ones that are meant to be ‘deep’ or thought-provoking. They’re really just stupid. Here are a few I saw just this morning…my thoughts in blue.

• I’ve built a wall. Not to block anyone out, but to see who loves me enough to climb over.  (Oh…my…word. I see this one all the time and it is sooo self-centered and self-indulgent…ugh.)
• For every girl with a broken heart, there’s a boy with a glue gun. (Lol, romantic consolation courtesy of Michael’s and Hobby Lobby.)
• When I text you it means I’m missing you…when I don’t it means I’m waiting for you to miss me. (Sappy and Manipulative Warning!!)
• The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren’t worth the truth. (As if the person adding this flair to their board, or sending it, has never themselves actually lied, lol.)
• Love is when the music stops, but the dance goes on. (Sappy.)
• Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain. (This is  the mother of all sappy sentiments. Sheesh, I have read this more times than I can count…I roll my eyes every time.)

Here are the kind of heart-felt sentiments I prefer…

• Never squat with your spurs on.
• Our effortless friendship fit perfectly with my laziness.
• You’ve been on my mind lately. Quite frankly, you’re heavy. Get off.
• I reject your reality and substitute a Star Trek episode of my choosing.
• Pinatas promote violence against flamboyant animals.
• A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
