Seriously.. can someone please get facebook outta my face!! must.. resist........ ohh look someone just commented on something.. -- story. of. my. life... since the evolution of facebook that is.
i'm practically befriending the enemy by replying to the people who actually commented on my status.. but the distractive powers of fb are too strong to resist!! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!
I don't know what exactly fb was originally designed for, but daymm it's convenient for stalking people -- not stalking as in the sit-outside-with-car-engine-on-peeking-through-curtains-feh-real kindda stalk, but the lets-see-what-that-person-has-been-up-to kindda stalk, BIG DIFFERENCE. just this afternoon, a bunch of friends were going through profiles of the hots and the kindda nots on -- you guessed it -- fb. yes, it may seem kindda lame and shallow. But hey, i'm sure most of the people in the facebook demographics don't only use facebook to "keep in touch" with friends. puhleeeasee.. does the following conversation sound familiar to you? "X: eh.. how is that person doing lately ar?? Z: wait ar.. let me check facebook n see" Its only normal to be kepoh, and to go around seeing hows everyone doing, who ditched and dumped who, who got into a relationship with who (always a conversation instigator), and where in the world everyone is currently located, etc. And facebook makes it so convenient because you don't even have to talk to the person or inflate them more with flattery to find out about what they've been up to. But of course, there is also the existence other slightly more utilitarian functions of fb like organizing events, reuniting long lost friends, and strengthening bonds by defying distances across the globe.
guess i'll always have an ambivalent value for fb. guess this is just one of those things that you can't live with and can't live without. food for thought. :)
