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...

failbook

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?

CALLED OUT!

So as I was scrolling through my news feed today I came upon this lovely little post (I changed the names to spare them further embarrassment " STUPID BETH SAYS I HATE HER NOW I DO BETH IF UR READING THIS U R THE MOST HORRIBLE FRIEND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Okay here's the thing about that, one I had to spell a lot of the words correctly, and this kind of thing is unacceptable. It is posts like this that make the older generations think that we only communicate over Facebook and that we can not have a conversation face to face. I heard a horror story a few weeks ago about this guy who asked this girl out on a date but was to scared to talk to her so he just texted her the whole time....texted her. WOW.

gettin views

So I wanted to do another quick experiment and see if people actually read posts while they're scrolling down their news feed, I know I usually go past posts especially if they are really long because seriously? Use a journal!! Anyways so I posted a link to my blog to see how much traffic I would get and within 3 hours of posting that I had 25 views for that day. Apparently people do read posts!
