C'est La Vie

Yes, I feel like blogging about the elevator incident.

Yes I'm a week late, whatever.  I'm not really here to talk about what happened in the elevator (it was mind blowingly epic) but more about what happened after the fact.  As you all know, the internet broke.  People went CRAZY on social media with meme's, jokes, and statuses demanding to know what exactly happened in that elevator.  AND I LOVED IT.

The hashtag #WhatJayZSaidToSolange was one of the few that were trending on Twitter shortly after (which is a bit sexist, maybe Jay Z said nothing and Solange is just one crazy ass b*tch).  Hilariously, what seemed to make the most news was Beyonce's reaction, or rather her complete NON reaction.  She just stood there.


The memes, jokes, people's comments on them cracked me up for hours.  I'm pretty sure I watched the elevator footage about fifteen times, obsessively noticed Beyonce's hand movements, tried to lip read as much as I could and essentially had the time of my life.  Then, the haters came out on social media.

"To all the people who are posting and talking about Jay Z and Solange, there are children dying in the world, and girls like getting like kidnapped".  wah wah wah.. No shit Sherlock.  The next time you post a freaking picture of your nails, or a selfie, or a stupid status update about your dinner, your gifts from your man - guess who's going to post pictures of people dying in the world on your page?  ME.  Why, because you are a pretentious, self absorbed, self righteous, annoying hater.

That's why.  If people cannot, on social media, talk about culturally relevant information then where the hell else are they supposed to do it?  If you have such a problem with your friends being into Beyonce and Jay Z then why don't you get off Facebook and go read some news or watch CNN if you're someone who is so obsessed with world news?

Hi friends and creepers,

This post is not really about my mom but it is.  I always think that I'm a bad person, that I get more than I deserve, that I'm not worthy really but today (Mother's day) I guess it hit me that I must have done SOMETHING, to have the people that I have in my life (whether I did it in a past life or now).

People care about me.  Isn't that weird?  I have the best mom in the world, the best family in the world, the best friends in the world and the best life in the world.  So I must have done SOMETHING right!  I'm just so happy for this, for all of the crazy, fun and amazing people that I've met, for all the experiences I've had, for everything.  *insert the Because I'm Happy song here*

Somehow, I actually found amazing people, somehow I actually have the best family and by family I mean my immediate family and the psycho goofballs I met along the way who are everything to me.  I don't know how I got this lucky but I'll just shut up and take it before they start to question things as well!

It's really beautiful when you see how much care and love someone has for you - so don't take it for granted #notetoself .. Life is pretty freaking awesome.  I think I've had a good one and I'm excited for the rest of my life to unfold :D
