Facebook still annoys me
Working in the industry I work in works for me because it keeps me working. Lol, what the hell am I on? Anyways, in the industry I work in, I love it when older people adopt technology because it makes my life easier. I don’t have to tell them that in order for the images to appear on the screen, the monitor has to be on. I don’t have to explain the reason there is no internet is because the ‘internet’ cable isn’t plugged in. I love it when they just get it. But when it comes to Facebook, it’s a gray area for me. Facebook, to me, was a site for friends to connect with each other. More social, less networking. Unlike MySpace which was purely social networking and to me, would be more akin to goin to a club (the girls were dressed the same way if you ask me). Facebook, was like goin to your friend’s house. At worst, a high school reunion, but at least you knew everyone there. This mentality for Facebook of course is due to Facebook’s beginnings: you needed a valid college email address to register. So that way you weren’t getting the creepers and stalkers (that were old enough to be your parents). Well Facebook has expanded to allow anyone to join and with that has also upped their security so that you can create groups of friends and set privacy settings for each group and decide what they can and can’t see. So you can let your very close friends see pictures tagged of you, and leave everyone else wondering if you ever go out. That works for some, not for me. I don’t have any crazy security settings, what you see is what you get. For the most part. There are some married women that have tagged my pic so I had to modify those settings for their safety…cuz I ain’t scared of nobody. Lol, sike…I ain’t gonna catch a bullet for a hoe. Where am I goin with this? No where…it’s a rant remember? I wish someone would make a Facebook like the original Facebook. No selling out, no bending for the public, just friends connecting with friends. Everyone else can stay on the old Facebook and MySpace. Oh, but you know what really bothers me with the abuse? The fake names. One day I had a friend called “Max Johnson” the next day he was “The realest nigga alive”. What the fuck man. What the fuck. And I just read an article where this old fart ADMITS to having a Facebook page for his dog. The only thing I hate more than root canals is Americans and their obsessions with dogs (RIP Seven). What the hell is the dog’s status updates? “Sniffed my butt, now goin to hump the neighborhood bitch?” Who is this dog networking with? Does the dog have dog catchers as friends? What the fuck is going on in this world? I hate this shit. I NEED MY FUCKING ISLAND! Seriously, the same nimrod says he doesn’t feel comfortable puttin all his personal information up there but creates a page for his dog… And I hate that “top 5” quiz bullshit. I hate the “what Spice girl would you be” quiz. I hate the “what color would you be” quiz. I hate the new Facebook!!! What a sucky ’09.
