The Status Book

For a long time, I've been wanting to write a book of sorts about either the lists people make, the texts people send and receive, or some compilation of snippets from peoples' individual lives. I've decided on Facebook status updates as my inspiration. There is so much we share, and so much we don't share via Facebook. I have friends from way back that I went to school with, friends from work and play all througout my life, new friends, old friends, somewere-in-between friends. It is a VERY random spattering of people. These people are often my collective "muse". I draw insight, inspiration, courage, and even anger from their short status updates. I see life, or what they want me to see about their lives. I make plans, gain prospective, wonder about things I never thought of before. I laugh out loud quite often, staring at the home page of my Facebook. Once in a while, I cry too.

So, this "book" is dedicated to all of my current, future, and past Facebook friends. Without you, none of this would be possible. Keep updating your status, and keep living your life, and sharing it with the rest of us. No matter what you think, your words, and your lives are making an impact on the world...or at least my world. Thank you.

What's on YOUR mind?
