The Facebook Epidemic


Facebook... why do I keep running back to you?

With very few exceptions, none of my "friends" have anything worthwhile to say. I have no desire to know what some girl I met at a party once ate for dinner, how hungover any of my cousins are, or what some hipster I went to High School with is listening to via Youtube. There is no real information to be gained from any of these people. I see comparisons between these people's status updates and the dead bird that's been laying in front of Firestine for the last few days.

Mostly because I can't help but look.

Ever since I got the iPhone, Facebook has become a problem. It is literally right at my side, calling out to me. "Look at me," it says. "It's the only way to know what's going on."

And so I am drawn in. not 4 hours goes by that I don't check my friends' updates. It's become a problem. I need help. I've tried unfriending the pople I don't like, but they always find a way to add me back. What can I do? Is there anyone out there? Show me the way out!

  2. But then how will everyone know what's on my mind via cryptic song lyrics?

  3. They won't!!! But isn't that the point??? Ignorance is bliss--and I'm completely ok with NOT knowing how my friends are feeling every second of every day. I dare you to deactivate your fb page one week and see how you feel afterwards.
