Sometimes things...

...change.

In honor of the new President, his new Chief of Staff and Sarah Palin's new wardrobe***, I am going to write a post about...

MY NEW ATTITUDE?

NO.

MY NEW LOVE OF HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL...3?

NO.

WHATEVER I WANT?

BINGO.

I guess some things never change.

What's on my mind? Well, it seems that ever since I wrote my facebook post about "the always important because I need to know what you are doing every second status," my blog has been extra popular: the hits keep coming. Why? Because people actually google, "how to write a good facebook status" or "what are interesting facebook status?" or "facebook status about Mondays," etc. Sadly for them, my blog is the only advice they get.

It occurred to me that my warning, you know, the one where I told you facebook was devouring our brains, was true. It seems that facebook has devoured our brains and now that our lives revolve around it, I've made a few more observations.

I'm 100% sure that people still take pictures...but not because they want to remember a special moment, time, person, place or thing. People take pictures so they can post them on facebook.

I'm going to start taking pictures solely with the intent of putting them on facebook. They will be a selection of staged photos compiled in aptly named albums that will "brand" me. You know, make me appear how I want. I will be the best publicist for myself EVER.

I will keep these pictures on a private setting until needed. Then I will share them with our new facebook world.

For example if I am looking for a job, I would pull out one of the following albums so my future boss could look me up and see what a good employee I could be:

• 1st Place at the Birthday Cake Baking Convention
• 95% sure Africa is a continent.
• Punctual Mondays!

Or if I was trying to impress a boy I'd make a picture album full of my most hilarious, fun and attractive moments like:

• My weekend of Baseball games, hot dogs and action films!
  
• Look At All of My Ugly Friends.
  
• My Milkshake

For my Republican friends I would post:

• Annual Quail Hunting Extravaganza - Watch Out or I'll Shootchya!
  
• Labor Day Weekend at Daddy's 4th House
  
• Pray for Gays

For my Democrat friends I would post:

• Religion is for Republicans
  
• An Inconvenient Truth Premiere - Because I Get It
  
• My First Welfare Check

If I wanted to portray myself as a family gal I would post:

• My [Birthing] Hips Don't Lie
  
• Babies R Me
  
• An Aunt Like No Other

For my "Hipster" friends I would post:

• Pics of graffiti in the East Village - Art is Life, Life is Art
  
• Dirty Hair and Scarves - My New Favorite Indie Band
  
• My Skinny Jeans are Tighter than Yours
  

Let the picture taking begin!

Love,
Jenna


***Sarah Palin got to keep the clothes she spent $150,000 on during the election as a consolation prize, right? Maybe she's saving them until 2012? Maybe? Huh? Getting a little nervous? This isn't the last of the Palin-ator. She'll be back and next time she is bringing even bigger guns (and probably a couple more kids too).

Sometimes I think I want to run a marathon...

...and then I see the New York City Marathon victims limping around the subways with a look of despair in their faces as they make their way home in their spandex shorts wrapped in a blanket.

Really? Is it worth the pain?

Probably. I'm going to start training...tomorrow...after I eat the rest of my Halloween candy.

Love,
Jenna
