I spend a lot of time on the social networks seeing as there’s really is nothing else to do…am open to suggestions though. Currently my addiction is Twitter where I get to “interact” with a lot of people. It has been really helpful especially as am trying be a writer and all. I have learnt a lot from other writers so have others from me. The only difference with me is that I take everything with a pinch of salt. Sadly though there’s a group of young people who are joining this social networks without any clue of what they are opening themselves to.
They are so impressionable and easily deceived. They get sucked in by peoples’ avis not knowing that not everything they see is not as it seems. They don’t know some of the pictures put there are downloaded and were taken by professional models. e.g My avi picture shows my face clear but in real life I have black scars left after I had chicken pox in class eight. Not everything is as it seems. Some of the stuff I write is in jest and a bit of exaggeration meant to entertain. It would be nice if I was some deep writer and wow you with my knowledge and intellect but fortunately/unfortunately am not. There are enough writers out there doing it. I love comedy, fun and jokes and that’s why most of the stuff I write are like that.
Don't get me started on all those people who are always calling you if they see any unusual status updates.Its never that serious!
I can’t count the number of times I have had young men solicit sex from me due to the stuff I write on my blog. Some even proposition my younger siblings who are also on twirra, I have a couple of laughs the way they are creative.lol. They draw their own conclusions and are somehow under the illusion that I will fulfill their sexual fantasies or bring some excitement in their otherwise boring life (If they were smart they would have already figured by now, I don’t have much of a life too. I mean I spend more time writing about life instead of being out there living it) they haven’t learnt to take everything with a grain of salt(for twitter make that a bag of salt.lol) I wish there was a way they could lock out kids from accessing fb and twirra but alas. Or at least have an orientation manual, but I doubt if it will work seeing as none of us never bother to read “the terms and conditions” of anything.
Some get on these sites because they are lonely and they hope to find companionship and are so open and vulnerable it’s painful. They get disappointed and heart broken when they get turned down and don’t even know how to handle rejection. I think if you can’t find love in real life and online then the problem is you because you are the common denominator. Just deal with it, see a counselor or something instead of getting on the internet to hurt people (remember people who hurt, hurt other people).
If you keep on blocking people and unblocking people, there’s something definitely wrong with you. You need to make up your mind whether you want to remove someone or not. Kwanza in fb am tired of always adding people who had removed me kitambo. Some are even dumb enough to go and change their names, its tiring. If being your friend on twitter and fb is this exhausting then am guessing in real life your also a tool. I mean this is where someone can profess undying love one minute and block your ass the next minute. Personally I use these sites for purely entertainment and fun so if you come with your heart on your sleeve and I say something and you catch feelings then am sorry for you. Must be exhausting always carrying your heart on your sleeve like that.
My kid sister who is in high school joined face book and gave her cell phone number to some guy my age and I was shocked at how naive she was. Good thing we know the guy so my brother saved the situation. I could not believe a grown man could ask her for her number and she is underage. Now I monitor her anytime she is online and her phone too but I know it’s only a matter of time before she gets smarter than me if she hasn’t already.
I have seen some college students try to pride themselves as geniuses and try to identify with characters like those in Big bang theory, How I met your mother etc. You are not Sheldon genius (I use the term loosely), you probably haven’t finished your degree yet with no invention/discovery to your name. Just be your beautiful self and people will love that about you. I can’t help but laugh. Some can’t even understand simple sarcasm or even get simple jokes on twirra and yet claim to be geniuses. I cant even begin to tell you how exhausting it is to explain a joke to them.
Some even have the balls to insult celebrities because of something they tweeted and am thinking are you serious??? That celebrity worked his butt off to get there and prolly earns in one month enough money to pay your student loans with just one cheque. Next t them your ass is insignificant, people are in awe of this celebrity. Why you want to make a fool of your self? people laugh at you the celeb hater in secret, don't you know that? You are busy hating and they are making millions and growing every day and compared to you…ok let me stop before I get into trouble. It makes me want to kill myself and everyone around me. Gawd!
Some have the gull copy paste stuff from other sites on their blogs and pass them off as their own. Not knowing all the material they need is inside them and that they too can be good enough to write beautiful original stuff.
I remember in uni guys used to talk about their “conquests” to other guys and exaggerate stuff. There was always that one idiot who took their stories as gospel truth. The idiot who was fascinated by stories, the idiot that was taking noters…The idiot then decided to do the same to other girls and some even resorted to rape. I even knew boys who were virgins and lied about their prowess. I was even shocked to discover some guys use porn as their bible for how to please a woman. Am telling you people this generation has more problem than you thought. (This “movies” are written by professional writers who are being paid millions) Like when some idiot wants to throw the girl to the wall and kiss her passionately when our Kenyan houses are made of stones and concrete.smh. When in the porn set the walls are some times cushioned with soft boards. Like when ninja wants to yank your hair (which sometimes is a weave that caused a fortune) the way he saw on telly…so sad!
Women are experts of spreading miss-information…I can’t tell you the lies my pals in college taught me. Thank God I was always skeptical to try out stuff, other wise I would be dead by now.
That’s why it’s advisable to examine and judge everything you hear because not everything is as it appears. To the smart people be careful the stuff you put online because on this sites there’s always that one idiot who is taking your words way too seriously.
