Facebook

So as you may have noticed, I have a pretty boring life. Now, it would be tons more interesting if I had applied for a damn internship or something but guess what, I didn’t. And now I sit here and write this dumb shit that only about 10 people read. Well you lucky reader, you have stumbled upon yet another pointless entry. But this pointless summer has taught me to be prepared for the next ones, to apply for internships and all that shiz. It is very nice to be home and have time to relax but I hate how lazy I feel sometimes.

But here are five things I love about Facebook. Why? Because I’m currently on it and I’ve decided to write instead of staring at a facebook screen with ads urging me to play video games…plus I’m hella rockin out to an old Deftones CD, those guys were sick.

1. Notifications. Those are always cool. I mean c’mon, everyone loves logging into a nice big fat red number that says how many notifications you got. It’s like a personal count of how cool you are. “Michael, you’re so fuckin cool you got 8 notifications.” “Thanks Facebook!” OK, maybe it’s just me but I think it’s freakin sweet.

2. Inbox messages. Ooooh messages are nice cuz it’s like “ooh a private message sent solely to me, how intriguing.” That little blue number next to inbox is always cool. Then see that phat blue dot next to the message, it’s like “read me motherfucker!!!” And how can you deny it? Occasionally there are some dumb messages that get your hope up that are about some fuckin group you joined months ago. Others are actually pretty cool, like a long message ranting about something cool.

3. Friend requests. Seeing a little plus sign in green is a nice little addition to your day. It’s best when it’s someone that you know and worst when it’s someone that you don’t. Sometimes it’s mad awkward too because it’s someone you don’t like. “Oh shit, Jon Doe, how’d he find me…we talked like once in the dining hall, wtf.” So yeah, awk.

4. Funny/dramatic facebook status. God I love facebook status drama. Some people just publish all of their drama on their facebook status, it’s pretty hilarious. “Jon Doe hates bitches who lie” or “Jane Plain thinks he can go fuck himself.” Those are the best, just one’s where it’s really not your business but you make it your business because it appears on your facebook feed. Plus, it makes the people posting look like total tools.

5. Photo albums! Photo albums are great, you can upload all kinds of crazy photos of events and whatnot and watch people go crazy commenting and such. It’s cool to comment on pictures, it’s even better to upload them. You know you love it.

So yeah this was a very pointless list. You know it’s all true though, otherwise you wouldn’t have read this. Otherwise you should probably read a book or something, I recommend Fahrenheit 451…sick book.
