Social Media - The New Bad Boy
Lust!! Have you ever felt lust? Lust is this craving…. This must have feeling of great desire.
I believe Social Media is my new Lust. I crave Social Media constantly. I want it when I’m working, I want it when I’m cooking dinner, I even want it when I’m in bed at night. I just can’t get enough of it. I am totally obsessed with it.
I had no idea I would fall so hard for Social Media. You see up until a few months ago I didn’t know too much about it. I was fine going about my normal business with no worries. I was focused on my home business, kids and running my household. Then, Wham!! Social Media hit me head on and I haven’t been the same since.
In the past I had “Bad Boy” issues. I would fall in love lust with
the wrong guys. Guys that weren’t good for me. You know, the typical bad
boy. All my energy would be wrapped around this bad boy. Taking care of his
needs and wants…I land up giving up on mine. After years of Therapy, I’m
happy to say, “I’m Cured!!” Or, am I?
I’m doing the same thing with other “bad boys”. I probably
shouldn’t use their real names, but what the heck? What do I have to lose?
I can’t stop spending all of my time with Sphinn,
StumbleUpon,
and Facebook.
They are amazing!! And, I love lust them. I can’t stop Sphinning and Stumbling.
Every time I do I get such a great feeling. And, when I see others Sphinning
and Stumbling of the same posts it really gets me excited. I’m totally
hooked. And, Facebook…. My wonderful, lovely Facebook. Not only can I
have fun with all of my buddies on Facebook, but I can also keep an eye on my
other loves, Sphinn and StumbleUpon right from my Facebook Homepage. I can’t
stop spending all of my free time with them… I just hope they
feel the same about me.
Stumble it!

Watch out for the bad boys: they’ll use you and abuse you.
I agree — social media has a certain attraction to it that cannot be readily explained. But, it can also take up a lot of our time, so as long as your priorities don’t suffer, then you’ll be okay.
Stumbled! Sphunn too.

Great post..I feel very much the same, except about the bad boy part!

Rob: Thank you. I think my lust for social media isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Well, unless it treats me badly. Ah, who am I kidding… Bad Boys do treat a girl bad. Hence the name “Bad Boy”. I’m not going anywhere.
Matt: Agreed. I have a hard time pulling away from social media…. I have to set an allotted time for social media and stick to it. If not, I can do it all day and my business and personal life will suffer. Thanks for the sphinn and stumble.
MB: Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the post. And, you’re right…. Passion and Desire for anything is amazing. As long as you have the Passion for something, and it is used for good and not evil, it is a good thing.

Well done! Spunn and Stumbled. It does become an all consuming passion … doesn’t it? I find myself sneaking downstairs in the middle of the night to have an affair with Stumble … shhh my wife doesn’t know.

Nice post. I don’t know if it is true lust more than hyper addiction. But whatever it is, I think we are all catching it like the flu.
The good thing about these bad boys is they help you with your needs, always there when you want them, and they won’t cheat on you.
Cheers!

Chessnoid - Thanks for leaving a comment. Yes, it is definitely a hyper addiction. And, it isn’t an addiction that I will be dropping any time soon.
