crazy family blogs

Wow...okay, so I was cruising that next blog thing that blogspot does and stumbled across four--FOUR--of these family blogs where different branches of the family keep track of each other with pictures, stories, yada yada, you know the drill. But they were updated almost daily. Daily!

This leads me to several conclusions:

1. These families are WAAAAY more technologically advanced than mine. I can't even get my dad and bro to check their facebooks when I beg, plead, and refuse to show them pictures on my computer.
2. These families actually care what happens to each other, which, given by family background, is kind of a novel idea. I can't get my family to give a flying crap about me when we're in the same room and all they have to do is talk to me, much less when they're elsewhere and it would take effort. I'm not even facebook friends with any of my family besides my dad and bro...
3. These families do stuff together...weddings, reunions, barn dances, marathons. My family doesn't do anything together but eat and offend each other.
4. I think I'm actually quite jealous of these families.

I'd like to say that one day I'll have one of those families but I really don't believe it any more. My dad and bro don't even give two craps half the time and I'm not sure I'll ever have kids. It's kind of sad...the one thing I wanted most growing up was a big loving family and it's probably the one thing I can never have.

Oh well, at least I'm not alone--tons of people's families suck and don't care. Maybe I'll just end up with a nice "family" of friends...though I doubt we'll ever have a cheesy joint blog. Haha, maybe they'll just follow this one...

Right. lol
