if mark sanford is waking up this morning thinking, “who can i talk to about this,” the good news is the list is long and includes plenty of names we all know:
john edwards, gary hart, jim mcgreevey and elliot spitzer. and we haven’t even gotten into televangelists yet.
one thing’s for sure, if he loses his gig as the governor of south carolina, ellen agrees he has a potential career as a romance writer.
rock’n'nroll
let’s break this down. a psuedo status update:
e.j.: is sitting at his computer listening to Beethoven’s piano sonata no. 8 in c minor. (8:43 pm monday)
1. yes, Beethoven rates a cap.
2. who cares what i’m doing at my computer?
3. who cares if i like Beethoven? i could just be a poser…but that never happens on facebook.
4. why the hell am i awake at 8:43 pm?
5. then again, that’s my problem, no one else’s so why share it with anyone?
the analysis of the stupidity could go on forever. but some sleep before the show tomorrow wouldn’t be a bad thing.
fb is evil.
late tonite, facebook is making it easier for people to find you on facebook by allowing you to pick a username to associate with your account. so i have taken a moment or two to create a few username possibilities based on my observations of activities on the social networking site. you might consider the username:
facebook.com/annoyingeveryonewithmystatus or
facebook.com/wastingevenmoretime or
facebook.com/typingstuffatworkthatwillgetmefired or
facebook.com/notthinkingasirevealverypersonalinfo or
facebook.com/imextremelyimportanttoeveryonebelieveme or
facebook.com/peoplereallylikeme (not just for sally field) or
facebook.com/arentmykidsthecutestheresmorepix or
facebook.com/reallyfacebookispartofmyjob or
facebook.com/sureyoucanbemyfriendallicareaboutisnumbers or
facebook.com/ihaventheardfromyouin30yearsbutireallycarenow or
facebook.com/yesheswritinganotherblogpostabouttheworldsmostannoyingwebsite
now imagine the possibilities if i were to include sarcasm and profanity!
rock’n'roll
…my eyes begin to melt every time i look at that site.
who cares if you’re having dinner with cousin kris?
if you need furniture, and the internet’s not helping, get some milk crates.
nick, god bless you for using it to promote your show.
(exasperated sigh)
oh, by the way, the final part of lisa carter’s series “the changing face of facebook” airs tomorrow at 6:10 and 7:40 during kansas city’s morning news with e.j. and ellen. it’s really good (the series…and the show). check’em out.
…or is there anyone else in the universe who thinks there should be a “doesn’t care” button right next to the ultra-lazy “likes this” choice on facebook?
i should write an app to post said “doesn’t care” automatically, thus eliminating the loss of brain cells that accompanies each unfortunate encounter with a status update. but that would go against my principle of never updating my “status” or responding to anyone else’s.
rock’n'roll.
