IN YOUR FACE (BOOK)
I swore I'd never do it. And they practicaly had to put a gun to my head. But I've finally (reluctantly) signed up for Facebook. Why? I still don't know.
As a card-carrying member of quote, "Traditonal Media," please excuse my skepticism over this supposedly improved version of communication. And somebody please tell me the purpose behind sharing ridiculously mundane details from your everyday life. And who has the time to sit and read my nonsense? Here's my first riveting entry:
"I'm thinking about walking down to the WGN cafeteria for a cup of coffee. Maybe I'll pick up a pack of Twinkies. I'll let you know how it turns out." Great stuff? huh? And the sad thing is this will be about the most exciting thing I'll do today ... not including lunch. "Maybe I'll dine at my favorite encased-meat emporium later today - Hot Doug's on California. Or later on, "now I'm pumping about $25 worth of unleaded gasoline into my 2003 Mercury. Should I buy a MegaMillion ticket ? If I win I think I'll call in sick tomorrow ... "
Somebody please tell me there's more to this. And I'll see you soon ("FRIEND") on Facebook.
Comments
Trust me...there's not much more to it. I'm not going to lie and say that I hate facebook, because I'm addicted to it. ha! But I got it when I was far from all my friends. It is a good way to keep in touch with people who actually care about the stupid mundane details from your everyday life.
But you'd be surprised what people will find interesting.
For example, someone could comment on your trip to hot doug's and say:
"Hot Doug's?! I love Hot Doug's, but you know what place is better? That hole in the wall shack on Armitage and Western!"
