12:12 12/12/12

Facebook is full of these today! "OMG! 12/12/12!! Last repetitive date!!" "The world is ending!" We'll as I've mentioned in my previous posts Facebook is good for telling you what's going on...and after a sea of finals I'm glad I saw it was 12/12/12 I guess.
Well the original topic of my blog to see if Facebook was a must or a bust and honestly I'm not totally sure. I mean I completely HATE Facebook sometimes but other times its really helpful. For instance one of my friends engagements just fell through and I, along with everyone else, found out on Facebook. I think people's main problem with Facebook is that there's a lot of drama so basically the solution to every problem...stop doing it. Lets all follow gunthars rule shall we? "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." It's really as simple as that, I promise.
So in the end, I think it remains a tie, Facebook and no Facebook, is the same

breakups and makeups

DRAMA!!! Holy cow! Okay, so I was scrolling down my News Feed when all of the sudden I came upon this post that said "I'd rather be happy and single than be with and miserable." My first thought was that it was from a song or something but I clicked on the comments....it wasn't from a song. I read 60 comments of the purest form of a facebook fight. It was horrible.
Back Story: This guy that I graduated from High School with has been dating this girl that's 2 years younger than him off and on for a while and rumors have been going around that she cheated on him and that she constantly lies to him. Well while all of her friends are commenting for him to take it off of facebook he's throwing her down and cant keep his story straight of whether or not she actually cheated. And then guys were commenting saying "bro this isn't right, take it off of facebook." OH. MY. LANTA. he flipped out when they said that. He was telling the guys to come and talk to him and that he has something to say and to stop hiding behind the keyboard and so on. To which the guy who said to take it off of facebook, his ex-girlfriend commented telling the main guy that he cant because he doesn't live there anymore and that he is being stupid. Needless to say there was a TON of drama and nothing got resolved....it was a pointless fight but a lot of fun to read. I don't have a tv in my apartment because im poor as junk so facebook fights are like soap operas...I got my fill for the next 3 years with this fight...

Snow and awkward moments

Social Media is great for one thing...and one thing only. For all of your friends to tell you what is going on in their day. Today for example I found out it was snowing before I even got a chance to look outside because Facebook was blowing up with "OMG snow!" "burrrr its cold outside" "let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!" Therefore I knew to dress for the cold weather before anything. Facebook is like a really distorted news channel, it tells you when its snowing, rainy, to hot, to cold, the end of the semester, Christmas time, Thanksgiving, Pearl Harbor, and black Friday just to name a few. Its nice to know everything but it can also get really awkward. Like this weekend for instance... One of my friends on Facebook was talking about the great night she had with her boyfriend and how great he is in bed....wow. So this girl posted that just thinking that her 300 friends would read it, but a screenshot was taken, sent to friends, who then sent it to their friends, who sent it to Failbook, and now it is being blogged about...I don't think it gets worse than that. And studies have shown that anything put up on the internet isn't just there for a few weeks or a few months...its up there for AT LEAST 10 years...AT LEAST. So I wouldn't put anything up there that's to naughty...

These pictures are from a hilariously funny website called failbook. Unfortunately we've all had these kind of Facebook fights show up on our newsfeed but we wouldn't dare blog about them because well that's tacky. So here are a few that I don't have to be tacky to blog about because they aren't on my newsfeed....so its different right?

Did you really just say that?

We've all gotten them. The texts that instantly boil our blood and make our fingers fly across the key board. I got one of these texts a few days ago....so many things I could have said, ended up saying nothing.
Here's the thing- why are texts like this sent? It is faster to pick up the phone and speak your mind than it is to text it. So when then are we still text fighting? Does it make you feel better because you don't have to hear their reaction? You can just read it and then decided if you don't want to respond. STOP DOING THIS!!!! It bugs the crap out of everyone.
I am an avid texter, I do not have anything against a "hey what's up" text or "hey what are you doing tonight" those texts are great and it's GREAT to be able to communicate really fast, everywhere, because no one else can hear you while you're texting your best friend "wow, this class is stupid." But lets ban together and stop sending this "wow, thanks for screwing me over and being a total b*tch."
Lets not text fight....your key board isn't a battle ground for world war 3, so don't treat it like one.
