So I've wanted to do something with my blog that was actually interesting rather than just tell people how I'm wasting time this week. Since I already keep journals of my creative pursuits on other web sites/forums I wanted something more general. It occurred to me then that I'm actually quite an angry guy, internally angry understand not externally. In person I'm actually quite laid back at least until I get a few drinks in me and I usually feel pretty bad about lashing out the next day. So I figured I'd try to create an outlet for all the really inane shit that gets under my skin and try to make it as offensive and amusing as possible.
So week 1 Facebook status updates.
I could write a whole book on this one but as this blog already has an introductory paragraph I'll keep it to a minimum and try to focus on something specific. You see when the Internet became commercial in the 90s it gave the whole world a voice, but along with that voice came the assumption that someone gives a fuck. (yes I'm aware of the irony here.) Facebook status's are a great example of that. There are twats who feel the need to inform us of every fucking minuscule action they take every day.
"Just combed my hair"
"Now I've applied hairspray"
"Oh noes I'm out of eyeliner."
Look not only does no one care but it amazes me that you even think someone would fucking care in the first place. Are you that fucking desperate for some kind of approval on your life that you need to take us step by step through your day. Perhaps you'd care to post commentary on your bowl movements next, I wonder how many people would like that one?
But the one that really gets me, that really pisses me off more than anything is the vague needy status...
"I should have seen this coming."
"things can't get any worse"
"I should kill myself" (please fucking do)
I mean why? Seriously why, I'll tell you why, because you want coddling. You want all your friends to see you're upset and to make a big fuss over you in public so you can feel like a decent human being again. You probably wait until at least 5 people have commented asking what's up before throwing out some other deliberately vague comment on the situation, or even better say "I don't want to talk about it". If that's the case why post a fucking status about it you degenerate arsehole, because you want to make people work really hard to get to the point because that'll somehow make you feel loved.
The worst part of this is the in public part. If you want your friends to be there for you just go to them, send a private message or a fucking text, hell try a phone call or even God forbid, get the fuck out of your house and go see them in person. (Oh that's right you live on Facebook and don't have any real fucking friends.) There's nothing cool about being needy and worse still there's nothing nice about making your friends jump through hoops so you can feel good about yourself again. People who do this are twats and should be ignored at every opportunity, or better yet taken out and shot!

oxy:
And this is why i dont use Facebook 
mentalrage:
I've often thought this and have deliberately deleted people from my Facebook due to getting updates several times a day from them about astoundingly trivial matters. The funniest part is when they say they haven't "seen me on Facebook", I just tell them I don't go on much instead of actually pointing out how irritating their trivial updates are.
