a life of its own

i have a facebook page

 i really 

dont

 visit 

very often

 i find

 if i do stop by

 i am sucked into the vortex

 liking or commenting

 on

 all the

 'what's on your mind'

i have missed since i last stopped by 

that said

 i do share my blog on Facebook

 via

 something called networked blogs 

i also post photos there after travel adventures

 or

  an occasional

 hey look at this photo

recently

i began to share

 my daily world trade center photos 

a series

 i also share via instagram

 sometime ago

 i uploaded an old photo

 seriously

 it was taken in the early 1980s 

by a professional photographer

 at the wedding of my then boss 

i think

 i must have uploaded it as a profile photo

 tho i really can't remember

 anyway

this past weekend 

i got an email from Facebook

advising me

 someone had commented on a photo

 curious

 i clicked over

 to see 

which

 photo 

was getting such a nice comment 

in an effort

 to figure out 

why/when 

i uploaded it

 i checked the comments

below

 the photo 

 one of them

 is

 from me to a friend

 asking 

you dont think i look pregnant

 i really wish

 i remembered

 why 

i posted it 

what spurred me to share it 

(according to the tags i added it to an album labeled 'family' on wednesday, december 24, 2008 at 8:25 PM) 

well 

since it resurfaced 

likely

 due to an instagram friend Liliana Kiraz 

looking through my photos 

(which are set to be seen by friends only) 

i sleuthed this out

 by looking to see 

who 

the first new 'like' was from

 after that  'like'

it took on a life of its own

 garnering

 58 new likes and 57 comments

 (i think that includes the original 3 or 4)

 its sort of fun 

sort of embarrassing

 to have

 so many comments

 about my hair

how i look 

they're all positive reactions

 i should be struttin'

 in a way 

i am 

i am

 also

 sort of 

wondering 

what happened to all that hair 

maybe i need to get a perm 

maybe i need to gain some weight

'cause 

i do recall 

being a lot heavier back then

 hence 

the loose top

 and

 no

 i wasn't pregnant

 that top

 which i still have 

was a favorite of mine 

my mother bought it for me

 during one our mall shopping adventures 

when my parenta lived in florida 

we used to go shopping

 and

 buy each other things

 it was funny even then

 because

 instead of buying ourselves things

 we bought them for each other

 anyway 

here's the photo

  i have turned off the comments

 'cause

 really

 i am not comfortable blowing my own horn
