Facebook

I tried to tell myself when I started this blog that I would post something new at least once a month. Perhaps once a year was a more realistc expectation on myself, if you look at my blogging from the yearly perspective, I'm blowing it out of the water. Alas, that was not the expectation I put on myself and therefore my efforts have been poor to very poor.

However, moving on from that, this is what has taken up a lot of my mental time. The craziness that is facebook. Specifcially, the craziness of the facebook status updates.

I have gathered some specific examples, but the list started getting so long, that I decided to just cover some of the nonsense in broad strokes:

First, the I need attention immediately!, posts. These generally go as following:

1. Uhhh! I'm so mad!
2. This day sucks!
3. I can't believe this sh%t!
4. or with some Bible verse saying something like: I will take comfort in your wings, or when my enemies surround me you will save me.

When some posts something like this it is painfully obvious they have no friends. Because if they did, their friends would be talking to them and helping through their tough time, instead they are throwing their upsetness to the masses of facebook.

Or,

This means they want attention, they desperately want someone to comment on their status with:

1. awwww,. what's wrong?
2. I hope your day gets better, you rock!
3. oh no! what happened?
4. Or they want someone to see how much they love God, and for someone to admire how steadfast they are in faith, even through this terrible time. ( Which is usually a break up or a tummy ache)

Then you have the updates to tune of " if you a great friend, daughter, husband, wife, dog, step cousin, and they really like you and they treat you nice then repost this and they will know who they are"

inevitably the step cousin or the dog, comments saying" is this me? i really like you and treat you nice!"

Sometimes you have super offensive posts like these:

So if New Orleans wins the Super Bowl, can we FINALLY stop talking about Hurrican Katrina? That would be the ONLY reason I'd be ok with them winning. Gee wiz.

To those of you upset with the saints victory just remember there is one group of people that are far more upset than you... the new orleans police department. Get ready for some murderous riot action and people looting from every local business.... somehow they will spin that into the world believing they are the victim again.

comment on above

Don't worry they are sending all the colts championship t-shirts and hats to new Orleans...... Because hurricane Katrina happened yesterday

another comment

you give them too much credit. There would have been murderous riots if they had lost too. These are the same people that shoot at military helicopters from their own rooftops not expecting them to shoot back. Morons.

These comments are extremely annoying coming from white middle class idiots, who have no idea what it's like to be in a natural disaster.

Then there is just plain ignorance:

Dress shopping today with my mommy,! Im so excited :) Then hopefully just regular shopping cause I really want new shoes! lol have a great day! ♥ ♥

I don't think I need to add too much to this one.

i hate it when guys get new girlfriends and drop like everyone else in their life. It's completely ridiculous

Apparently you don't have a grasp on how dating works.

I really wish people would stop canceling and noshowing on me. I know you don't realize it but this is my livelihood. Have some respect.s

after misspelling respect, the same person then says

well...when it rains it pours. Dropped my cell in the pot. Seriously I have got to quit carrying that thing in my back pocket.

not helping your case here pal, and then says

I put Wally's sweater on him. It is the cutest thing I've ever seen!!

obviously we should all respect someone who dresses up their dog

I am reminding myself that it is MURDER to kill my employees and corporate..and i could lose my job for that....

and I am sure none of them have Facebook

No high school drama is when people see other people they know commenting on each other and then they decide that they need to chime in when it has nothing to do with them whatsoever. Not minding your own business when it has nothing to do with you is high school drama. Love when people have nothing to say to you unles...

besides this person's inability to write complete thoughts, it's hilarious that by making emotional statements about how they hate drama, people think that they are not adding to the drama! So funny.

If your post is not something witty, funny, or well thought out, maybe just hold off, count to 30 and i if you really need to post it, then go ahead, I know for some the urge is impossible to fight. But still try not to post the super personal, private thoughts, that were meant only for you.

If you any of you recognize these posts: I apologize. I deleted names to protect the idiot, I mean innocent.
