I Am God

And so are you. But many of you forgot. Let’s get into it.

There is a great scene from a movie where a college kid goes to see the Dean, and then recites a passage from the student handbook. Unimpressed, the Dean said “And you remembered that, instead of doing what?” I find that very applicable for this post. Because you are God. When it comes to the vast majority of us, we control what information we receive. So I am always amazed when someone responds to a post, meme or blog in a negative way. If they don’t ask an open ended question, then why write a hateful response? In other words, they did that instead of doing what?

We have the power to unfriend, unsubscribe, block, change the channel, not watch, walk away and so many other options, yet many get triggered. If you have an opinion, that’s great. Hopefully it’s yours, and you’re thinking for yourself. But to go out of your way because you’re so insecure about your beliefs and post negatively, well…that’s just sad.

I am about the most optimistic person you will ever meet. I am upbeat, friendly and make most people feel at home. That said, I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. But I drink coffee, so fuck them…just kidding. It’s an old joke. But I’m not really kidding. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. Someone say’s some off the wall shit on my feed or post. So here’s the thing…if we haven’t sat down and broken bread together, you don’t get a say. And you won’t get an argument from me either. You become a non factor, because when it comes to my feed, I am God.

My wife is a big Twitter reader. Once she goes down the rabbit hole, she is down there for some time. It’s entertaining for her. And I agree. It is funny. But again, so many people spend hours fighting online with people they don’t know, or will never know. They get triggered and oh yeah, it’s on. Me? I’m not built like that. I’m easy like a Sunday morning. So when I saw some less that positive feedback on a meme that I posted the other day… from people I don’t even know, no less, a simple “block” and I was on my way.

The only reason why I banged out this blog, was to say be nice. And if you’re reading this, remember I am God. And if that pisses you off, remember you are God too. And you control what information you take in. So I wrote this blog instead of doing what? Nothing. Except maybe triggering you. Oh come on. Now that shit is funny.
