same same

(This is not my "Oh no he didn't!" face [though it's probably pretty similar], this is my "shaking my finger no no shame on you" face...which apparently doesn't convey in a picture like I thought it would.)

I have a serious issue to discuss with you all...I kinda have a beef when people post ALL the same pics or comments on Instagram, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I'm sorry if this applies to you, I don't think less of you, but I just can't hold it in anymore! I know I'm guilty of doing this myself from time to time (really who isn't??), but there are only a few exceptions that I feel allow for same same (not necessarily in this order):

 travel pic of someplace cool to make everyone jealous
new baby
engagement
hair cut
wedding
professional photo shoot
new home
 life altering moments
zombies
meeting a celeb
major epic events
and other things of similar quality

If any of the above happens, you have my permission to post on all the sites the exact same thing all you want! If not, then here's why you shouldn't: when your stalking someone (in a non-creepy way) you don't want to see ALL the same thing on ALL their sites. It's as simple as that. What's the point of following someone on Instagram if they're just gonna dump all the pics on their blog every week?? Or follow someones Twitter when they're doing the exact same post on FB?? May as well only follow one of their sites. I will allow a same update, or photo or two here and there, but more than that and I will have to say Good Day! (that was said in a Fez accent from That 70's Show...in case you were wondering)

I know people are worried about their fans, but I bet the people who follow your blog or facebook or whatever, are following your other media venues and if they're not, won't having new stuff make them want to follow all that you do?!? Just sayin.

So in conclusion, if you vote for me I promise to not do same same!

The End

**please note that I will alter above list as I deem necessary.

  1. I think people are just trying to get traffic to their blogs and such, but I hear you. Maybe if I did that more I would have a real blog with lots of followers who love me! But I probably won't because it's too much work, and I'm afraid not to listen to you because you've got some major bling going on in that photo and it's intimidating.

    1. Haha! It's not like I have a ton of followers and room to talk. I'm just speaking as a stalker...which maybe I am an expert at that so my point is valid!?!?

      Though really, I think I just made a lot of people mad at me with this post...I probably have even less followers now! :-)
