| | Observation: I find it odd, yet completely not surprising, that most of the people I went to high school with seem to still be hanging out with the same group of people as back then. I keep stumbling across people I haven't seen or talked to in upwards of 7 years, and their Facebook pages are all connected to each other, and the pictures they have could all practically be from the same parties, because it's all the same people, over and over again. Don't get me wrong. The few relationships I retain from high school, I do cherish, but it sometimes seems like the majority of my high school still hangs out in the same place with the same people.
I guess that's to be expected from a crappy little redneck area like I grew up in, but looking at all of their profiles, they could practically be interchanged with each other. The majority have been married and/or divorced. I think 99% of them have kids, even the ones who were never married. Even though they all have kids, it seems the majority of their pictures are either at a bar or in a garage or basement getting drunk. However, there is always one full album devoted to their kid, because they are so proud of them and are so happy to have such a beautiful child, even though the father was another one of the redneck douchebags from my high school (or from the nearby one in Potosi) who probably ended up cheating on them with another girl from high school. It's all the same people, and they all know each other, and it's just a web of cheating and babies and alcohol. I grew up in a bad country song, and Facebook is the proof.
I really had no other topics in mind tonight. I just noticed that while looking through pictures and friends lists on Facebook. I've thought this for awhile, but out of boredom, decided to rant about it for a minute. I may be single with a crap job, but I'd prefer this over that anyday. Sure, it'd be nice to be married, or even have a romantic relationship, but it all seems so meaningless, looking through the pictures on Facebook. I'm glad I got out of that hole, even if I am broke, sometimes lonely, barely supporting myself, at least I can say I got out, and I made my own amazing friends, and at least I'm not living how I always said everyone would end up in high school (joking at the time, but apparently dead on).
I'm done with my rant. I just felt the need to say something.
