Hello World Mr E here again,
Yesterday I was walking around my local supermarket and bumped into one of my ex girlfriends as is usually the case in life, turn out ex-girlfriends need to buy food to survive, who would have thought it? But anyway turns out she's pregnant which seems to be a running theme with most of my ex-girlfriends who stayed in touch! It made me wonder what all of my past flames were up to. Luckily I suppose, I've never left a relationship on a bad note so I can always talk to them, so I do what every person in search of information does and turned to the internet!
Turns out we live in a Snoopers Heaven! I bring up 'Facebook', type in a few names and low and behold there they are, photo's that fill me with nostalgia of a life that seems so far in the past now! So I delve a little further! Oh wow, one has a kid, is married and is doing well in a fashion career! Good on you honey! Another has two kids, a boy and a girl, is currently between jobs! Oh well...
The more I looked at these past acquaintances the more I began to remember the time I had spent with them, talking about plans that we may of made in the future! One girl, who I will call *HP* for reasons I don't quite know, was adiment that by 24 we would have two children, live in a big house on an avenue with oak trees and drive two sports cars (whether she meant at the same time I'll never know!) Well when I looked her up on another popular social network... She has one kid, a boy! Is engaged and is in a job she can't stand! Now I know for a fact that the guy she's engaged to treats her like crap and that she lives in an area that you wouldn't feel safe walking out in at midday with a fully populated street! But she may be happy I hear you shout! I talked to her... She isn't!
It made me think maybe things would have turned out differently if we were still together! Or perhaps that back then we were just naive, crazy kids just talking about plans for the hell of it! Who knows...
What I do know is that a majority of my ex's are knocked up or already Mother's! A majority are engaged or married! A majority are really happy and that makes me happy, gives me a warm feeling inside!
Funny thing is, I didn't message them, I never added them to contacts, I just looked, just took a Snoop at their lives! Why? Who knows? Maybe it was too much of an invasion to get back in touch! Maybe feelings that have stayed dormant for years and years may suddenly reappear? I just didn't want too? Guess I'll never know! I close 'Facebook', close my browser and put the past to bed!
What struck me as funny, scary even is the ammount of information that people are willing to put on the internet! Addresses, intimate moments in scripted and photographic form! Habbits, Likes and Dislikes! The list is endless! But anyway I guess that's what I'm doing with this blog!
Still no comments I notice, do you people need me to beg???

Decided to leave you a comment, if for nothing more than to stop you complainig about a lack of them. Although I have yet to recieve any comments myself, it doesn't bother me, it makes me feel more anonymous.
I think as we get older our curiosity gets the better of us and we all wonder what 'so-and-so' is up to and wether things would've been different if we'd stayed in touch.
Truth is even some of the best laid out plans fail miserably.... as seems to be my motto at the moment "we don't live in a Disney Movie", happy endings rarely, if ever come to light, we all just muddle by as best we can...
This seems more like a psycological,'mini rant' type blog, not entirely sure that's the sort of comment you were appealing for so I shall stop.
