A Light Vent

I needed to vent a little bit, so why not come onto Blogger to express my feelings to the internet. I decided to actually vent about my feelings, or my lack of expressing them.

Yes, I run a blog here on the interwebs, yet why do I think of myself as inarticulate? Well, I feel like what I express to the internet is only a small fraction of what I actually think. I can't be the only one who thinks like this right?

Perhaps its just my personality, and how I like to think to myself. Sometimes, I feel that in my mind, I'm thinking in a language not English, not Chinese, or any other real language that I can think in, but just the language of my mind.

This has been a somewhat random "Random Rant," and a post that will give me the desire to post even more!

Hannah's Random Rants: Friends on Facebook

Hello readers! I'm back with another rant, and this time it is about the magical world of Facebook!

Facebook has become an addiction to many. Some use Facebook for their games, others use it to post photos of the friends, family, and food. Others believe that Facebook is about getting the most likes, or the most friends.

Vying for the most number of friends on Facebook is my pet peeve. Though those who implore for likes can be a nuisance, those who compete with others for the "most friends on Facebook" award is what utterly irks me.

I'm not talking about the people that have five hundred friends (I, myself have five hundred friends on Facebook), and I'm not bashing people with one thousand friends on Facebook. I understand having the presense of hundreds of people viewing your profile is nessecary for school and other occupational purposes, but some people do not think that's enough: they think that adding someone after they met for five minutes is worthy of being their friend on Facebook. There are even people who add friends of friends they have never met! There are even rare scenerios where I've had friend requests from people I have no relation/mutual friends.

Remember that Facebook should be used as a social media outlet to connect with your friends and family, but also follow the post of businesses and famous people. Your friends on Facebook are meant to be YOUR friends. Are you friends with someone you met once?

I have added some people on Facebook after meeting them once, but that is because I know that I will communicate with them in the future. There are even some people that I see everyday and talk to that I don't even add on Facebook.

I guess my point here is this: don't add people on Facebook you barely even know. You never know what they will do with the information you share to them when they become your friend on Facebook.

Facebook is an amazing outlet for connecting and aiding our communications, but I honestly hate it when people just add me, even though I don't have a clue who they are or when we will ever talk again.

Hannah's Random Rants: Valentine's Day?

Happy Valentines Day! 

Hello readers! I've decided to create a section of my blog called, "Hannah's Random Rants!" I am unsure if I truly want to write a "Today in History" post every day, so I want to create a section where I may blog about philosophical ideas, issues in the world, or really, anything! Some of it may not make total sense because it is the spontaneous thoughts of my zany mind.

Since today is Valentine's Day, I started to wonder:

Why do we have special days for specific appreciations? Days like Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and Father's Day are specific days to appreciate the respected figure, but shouldn't we appreciate these figures everyday?

Not everybody can even call these days a holiday, because not everyone has a valentine, mother, or father. For the ones who do, why do we take one day out of 365 days (366 on leap years!) to give the recognition that we should be giving to them everyday?

At least for me, everyday when I come home from school, I greet my mother with a big, "HI MOMMY," and a great-big-hug. Yet on Mother's Day, I cook her a special meal and commit most of the day just to her. I understand that it is a day to make one another feel special, but why can't we as a society appreciate everyone's skill and occupation everyday? We can make it customary to value the worth in others everyday with little change.

What is that change? Its still stuck in thick fog unfortunately. I think that this may be a slim change, but what we can do is create an appreciation day for everyone. Simply an appreciation day. This make my post very redundant and contradictory, but I think is a step to more peace in the world.

What do you guys think? I want these rants to act as a discussion board where you guys can express your thoughts. 

Love life and eat noodles <3
