blitching top ten tuesday style.

Top Ten Tuesday!

ten things i personally think, you don't have to agree with me, but i honestly don't care to hear your opinion if you don't agree.

if you do agree shout it through the rooftops! ok really just leave it in the comments but feel free to use all caps.

NOTE: i didn't start out blitching but it ended up that way.
need the definition? of Blitching? go here.

1. I THINK tact is important.

the definition of TACT: Acute sensitivity to what is proper and appropriate in dealing with others, including the ability to speak or act without
offending.

“We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.”

~Abraham Lincoln

If you think you might be offending someone by saying something , don't say it. seriously your opinion doesn't have to be stated to be your opinion.

2. I think sarcastic humor is the least funny kind. i don't like it. especially when you are really being serious, but play it off as being a joke. doing that is just RUDE. and bitchy. now sarcasm saying something was better than it was like, "Heck yeah, my liver biopsy was freaking awesome", well it's not hurting anyone's feelings. you all know it wasn't great but I'm ok with it enough to joke about it. sarcasm like that is perfectly fine. but using humor to hide a bitchy statement, well i could do without that. and without friends that do that.

3. i think if you don't have anything nice to say you shouldn't say anything at all. I'm VERY opinionated but i don't voice my opinion just to argue, or debate, or make people "think" and especially if it's just my opinion about nothing of consequence . often people say things just voicing their opinion feeling it's their innate right to share their thoughts on the subject, and usually they are generally pretty offensive, tactless people. if someone asks for an opinion sure, share yours but otherwise, keep it to yourself. i tend to keep my distance from people like that. that freely spout off opinions on the given topic knowing that they are offending the people in the conversation, chalking it up to it was the person taking offense's fault and not bearing any fault themselves for dishing out offensive statements. KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE .


4. I take things personally. Friendships. family. things people say. things people do.

kinda like in YOU'VE GOT MAIL:
Joe Fox (Tom hanks): it wasn't personal...

Kathleen Kelley (Meg Ryan): What is that supposed to mean? I am so sick of that. All that means is that it wasn't personal to you. But it was personal to me. It's *personal* to a lot of people. And what's so wrong with being personal, anyway? Whatever else anything is, it ought to begin by being personal.

5. i think Facebook and some blogs are an arena for people to voice their opinions.(sometimes fanatical opinions) there is definitely a certain climate on each persons wall. whether political or religious or whatever while on some there is very little mention of religion or politics. often i don't agree with someones stance. so i usually don't leave a comment. i think it's unnecessary to state your opinion on someones status if you don't agree. MY thinking is...usually someone will disagree and then there is a whole debate, feelings get hurt and on and on. I think it's kinda retarded. I confess if don't agree with someones status often, i hide them from my feed settings. no hurt feelings of unfriending, but i don't have to see their status. i fully believe people probably have my status hidden also. I'd rather have that then be unfriended. because i take that personally. thinking "what?(gasp) someone doesn't want to be my friend anymore?"

6. I think homework is optional for kids in elementary school. now i also think if a kid is missing out on something for not doing his homework that they should probably do it. but I'm not gonna freak if they don't choose to do it. NOW, if my kid was sick you can pretty much assume they won't be bringing back the missing homework, EVER. it's overwhelming to dump an a-load of busy work on kids because they missed class with the flu and have to make up a load of worksheets. seriously. RETARDED.

7. i think the answer to happiness for me...is retail therapy, a cold beverage, a good pedicure. no disagreements, healthy kids and a weekly hot date.

8. i think it's offensive when people automatically assume certain medical issues are caused by being overweight. and then they say it, TO A FAT GIRL! RUDE! it's rude. if you think so don't say it. that's for a Dr to say! (meaning MY DR) if he/she doesn't believe it's worth saying to me you shouldn't feel like it's your place. it's not. and it's not just fat people that have certain medical issues so that thinking is flawed anyway.

9. i think it's kinda annoying when people only blog about how great their lives are. We just got back from this magical place, OH look how fabulous my new house is....*GAH* it makes me wanna gag. sure blogging about that sometimes is great. but how did you luck out that you don't live in reality at all? and that crap about oh well i don't want _____ reading whatever is really going on. well it's LAME! lame i tell you.
said the blogger who never vacations, and has a shiz-tastic house. if this statement offends you well YOUR blog might be one that i don't read often not because i don't like you but because I'm jealous. yeah it's true. I wish my life was more fairytale ending and less "reality bites". but my blog is a true reflection of what's going on with me. i keep it real. well MOSTLY.

10. i think I'm gonna go take a nap (and maybe some prozac). I'm on one. take this as a warning and don't cross me. I've got my SHIT bad list out and a permanent marker! there will be no erasing ya off . but you can bet if you've done anything listed in the first 9 well you are probably already on it.

I'll leave you with this thought.

“Acts of kindness may soon be forgotten, but the memory of an offense remains.” ~Proverb

I guess this quote kind of goes with #10. rad.

i often ignore things that offend me. and strive to avoid giving offense. especially to my friends.

and yeah i probably just restated the same thing 7 times in different ways. bear with me, I'm still recovering.

but my point of #3 #5 and #8 is know your audience. if they don't agree, or you know you will be offending someone keep your freaking opinion to yourself. the world will not collapse if your don't impart your knowledge or your opinion on something.

EDITOR'S NOTE: on this blog in general or this post specifically, if you don't agree with the opinions and feelings stated here, feel free to just not comment. and if you disagree more often than not, just don't read this blog. no one is holding a gun to your head to read it. so don't.i hereby uninvite you to read my public blog. yeah, i said don't read it. so DON'T! :P PbBBTTT that's me sticking my tongue out at you.

and tonight i have bunko YAY! bunko! whoohoo!
