Not been blogging much because I just don't feel very funny these days but on the topic of funny, I think I need to clarify some things here. I did the clarifying on my FB the other day and I said in my status update that I sometimes just don't want to add some people on Facebook because there are 'funny' people out there in this world.
You know 'funny' as in 'a little weird'? Yeah.
I say this based on experience. I used to add every single donkey and monkey who comes into my website or blog and add me on Facebook but I don't anymore because there were times when I said something personal or something that was my own personal opinion, I got flamed real bad.
Well, I could ignore these people but it smarts sometimes and I don't like that because I don't know them at all.
Like this Easter and Good Friday thing, I posted something which I thought was funny.
I said 'Fridays are good. I love Fridays. Coincidentally, tomorrow is good Friday. *cheers*'
Now, let me clarify that the *cheers* was meant for Fridays are good, I love Fridays but it appeared at the end of the sentence, so, this man told me off because he thought I was cheering because it was Good Friday. I wanted him to cut me some slack on the Christianity front because I wasn't really in-the-know about what Good Friday was about.
I knew it was something about the resurrection of Christ and stuff and that is why they named it Good Friday but I also knew that it was sometimes known as Black Friday. I should've given more thought as to why it was both Good and Black.
Fact is, I didn't. My kids' school was celebrating Good Friday so I didn't need to wake up the next morning, hence, I was ready for some celebrating, man!! Every body else has to wake up on Good Friday and I don't - the world loves me!
That was the sentiment - and yet, that guy took it the wrong way and called me 'naturally stupid' and also a 'mental midget'. I apologized and he continued to slam me. Sigh....such cultural tolerance amongst us.
It. Was. Unintentional. (but he said it was unimpressive, unfunny and unintelligent.)
See why I don't want to add every donkey and monkey that adds me on Facebook now?
