Facebook: It's Like Good Sex With A Bad Guy
I've been thinking about breaking up with Facebook again. I did it last year and I came back. I have a hard and fast rule about going back after a break-up but for some reason a few months ago I got sucked back into it. Facebook is sort of like reality TV...you hate it but you watch it. Or you tell people you don't but you secretly record all of the reality shows on your DVR. That's my feeling about Facebook. It's not necessary, I could live without it....but it keeps me coming back for more. You know, like good sex with a bad guy. Did I just write that??
I just want to say one thing...or twenty...I hate Facebook applications. You know, the ones where you open up your Facebook page and three hundred of your closest buddies have decided they are your "TOP FRIEND". Come and shovel my walkway and then we'll talk "top friend". Then there is the round of drinks I keep getting from various people who must think I'm an alcoholic. I've received more virtual drinks in the past month than I've had for real in my entire life. Send me a steak or something good. A real one. That would make my day.
I've tried to block the applications but for every flipping application I block, twenty more are created. Let me give you a few more examples of what I'm going to ignore today:
17 Food Fight requests (I have 5 kids. I can have live action here if I want it)
10 Save The Planet requests (I cannot help you. I've got too much laundry to get done)
4 Kiss requests (What? How does that work? I'm not into that cyber sex crap)
23 When Is Your Birthday requests (it's ON MY PROFILE doof! Do I get a gift??)
1 Love request (from a married woman, no less. Only accept these from GeorgeClooney)
11 Willy's Sweet Shop request (OK, sorry, this sounds perverted)
I am not even going to begin to list all the "Likeness Unrated" invitations I've received. I do not want to know how similar we are at brushing our teeth or how compatible we'd be in the sack. How about this: my LIKENESS to you is a lot less now that I have been inundated with stupid quizzes about what my seven deadliest sins are (one of them is having a Facebook account).
There. I said it. I really told Facebook off, didn't I? It felt good to vent. Now I need to weigh my options....get rid of Facebook or keep it for days when I have nothing to write about on my blog......
