Ruining the first post of the year

I probably should write about something prolific and deep, but instead this will be just a quick post, commenting on one of the first things to annoy me in the new year. I'm only mildly annoyed, maybe even more entertained than annoyed because the specific topic of interest made me want to write a little. You see, I'm not on Facebook. I was, had a couple hundred friends, and then deleted my account because of how out of control it can get. I can't see how being "friends" with someone on the internet, sharing intimate details about my day-to-day life with these strangers, but then being depressed about no one calling me on my birthday could possibly be a good thing. Plus, Zuckerberg and his cronies have too many secret ways of getting our personal information and using it against us to make themselves money. Though fictional, after watching "The Social Network", I was angry at "the man" and got rid of my account a few days later.

So. Point... where did it go....

Ah. Craig still has an account. Many of his friends were my friends, my family is all still on the network, so every once in a while I log on to his account to see if anything interesting is going on. And dude, this is the kind of crap I see - four or five people had written prayers to God for a healthy, prosperous, and whatever new year. They wrote these prayers to God as their status messages. AS IF, in his infinite greatness, God can pay attention to every living thing on Earth... and check everyone's Facebook status for some more details.

I didn't miss out much when I deleted that account. Guess if we have some huge revolution here in the states, I may be at a disadvantage because I'm not all socially connected. Otherwise, I'll live without.
