What the Fuck Facebook

This rant is a long time coming, even before I started to write A Blog About Nothing.  I was against Facebook from the beginning until I was signed up by two of my friends.  Since then I have spent my fair share of time on the site, looking at pictures and what not just like the rest of you I am sure.  It is addicting at times and all of a sudden you realize you have been on for a while and do not know where you actually started.  Well there are two things that no piss the shit out of me about Facebok.

Why fix something if it is not broken.  Teams always do this and I always wonder why, Lakers win 3 championships and are in a total of 4 that's when Kobe decides he does not need Shaq the teams breaks them up and there goes the championships.  DON'T FIX WHAT'S NOT BROKEN!  Everyone is enjoying Facebook and they go ahead and change the whole front page on us.  What the fuck, one day everything is nicely organized with updates, pictures, events and birthdays.  The next day we have to deal with garbage, random wall posts and status' are all over the place.  Does anyone like this new nonsense?  I still haven't figured out where to find anything and I am quickly getting back to the part of  me that never wanted to be part of this Facebook addiction.

However, it wouldn't be that bad if that was all that was wrong with Facebook, but that is the creators fault.  My next hated thing is caused by the members of Facebook.  Why do people find it necessary to always update their status.  BREAKING NEWS:  no one cares that you are out looking for an apartment, or that you are tired and going to sleep, or your off and don't know what to do on your day off.  Stop bragging that in the worst economic time your house hunting or that you have a day off.  Stop being so egotistical that you think everyone needs to know what you are doing at all times.  NO ONE GIVES A FUCK!  Now I do not want to be a hypocrite, as I recently have been putting up status's to get people to head to the blog.  However, you will not find me saying things as they happen in my life.  What is worse is it seems like these people are updating their status as they are doing whatever they are doing.  Grow up and get on with your life.  Stop wasting time letting everyone know what you are doing and go out and do it.  If they need you they will call you or text you and ask what you are doing.  The world does not need to know about your nonsense.  

Lastly, this whole new IM feature that they have drives me nuts.  Now, if I do not have your screen name and you want to catch up, or we just became friends on it then I am all for it.  However, if we talk on AIM or ICHAT or whatever other platforms we do not need to have a whole conversation on Facebook.  It forces me to be on the site for longer than I need to be and usually I end up forgetting about my conversation and heading to another site.  We survived for the past 10 years not having Facebook instant message I think we can survive now without it. 

Who am I kidding though, I'll still spend way too much time looking at peoples pictures and their updates even with all this nonsense.  I'll find out that people are having much more fun then I am and once again I will remember why I hate Facebook.

Before I go:

The new movie quote game, Common Thread has the following rules: there will be a different movie quote for 3 days. After those 3 days and 3 movies you will need to figure out what the common thread is. Here is an example: Day one movie quote is: My Cousin Vinny; Day 2 quote is: Analyze This and the third day is Wild Hogz. The common thread would be: Goodfellas, here is how: My Cousin Vinny has Joe Pesci; Analyze this: Deniro and Wild Hogz: Liotta. They were all in Goodfellas. It is a simple game and here comes day 2 of it:

Yesterdays Movie: Angels in the outfield

Todays quote:"It's not about what happened in the past, or what you think might happen in the future. It's about the ride, for Christ's sake. There is no point in going through all this crap, if your are not going to enjoy the ride. And you know what... when you least expect something great might come along. Something better then you even planned for. "


Question of the day:  If you could go on tour with one band in history which would it be?

  1. To answer your question of the day, I'd like to have gone on tour with Buddy Holly so I might be fortunate enough to die in a plane crash and not have to see that you're still updating this blog.
