I don’t spend a lot of time on Facebook, but I do have an account and sometimes I do check it. I have the mobile app for my Ipod touch, but I hardly ever use it.
But for the relatively low time spent on Facebook, I’m really learning to hate it. Here’s why:
I don’t care what your status is. In other words, I tire of reading things like:
- “Ethel is soo excited that she’s gonna have a hot dog tonight!”
- “Nancy Sue is saving the world by digging ginormous wells for thirsty children in all of the third world countries in the universe.”
- “Bruce is currently forcing his retarded political views on all his Facebook ‘friends’ by making a statement in his status that actually has nothing to do with his current status! Woot!”
And some people are worse than others. There’s this one guy who added me as a ‘friend’ on Facebook because he lived in my neighborhood when I was a kid. We were never really friends, in fact, I kinda always thought he was a d-bag. Anyway, he’s notorious for changing his frikkin’ status every 20 min with wonderful message like:
- My daughter just made a poo-poo!
- My daughter just made a pee-pee!
- My dog just made a poo-poo!
- I just made a poo-poo!
No, he’s not joking around. I’m being a little hyperbolic of course, but really, this guy updates wayyyy too much and really needs something more interesting going on in his life. Like a book or something. Even a movie, or at least a box with flashing lights in it or something.
In conclusion, I feel I must remove some of said people from my ‘friends’ list in Facebook to save me the angst and despair on behalf of humanity every time I log into it. Does anyone know how to do that?

amen. I think the stay at home moms are the worst. they update it like 5 times a day. I dont care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and stop taking all those damn quizzes~!
I have bad news for you..... there is a site that seems to consist entirely of status updates. The kids are calling it "twitter". I think the name comes from what meth-heads do or something. Very addictive.
I'm thinking of deleting my facebook account altogether. I hardly ever check the thing AND I'm disgusted to find older people in my neighborhood adding me as a friend. WEIRD.
