Facebook: Love / Hate Relationship

Lately I have been feeling a bit annoyed with my Facebook friends. Unlike some other users, it has nothing to do with the systems itself -shit it’s free, who can complain right? It’s my own social cloud that is getting on my nerves.

First, their status updates seem like tag lines to soap operas.

The girls claim “Where would I be without him”, “I am your princess, you are my prince.” Who wants to read that?

Married couples hot tag lines are “Spent a great day with the baby, only two spit ups!”. What? Is that REALLY the most interesting piece of information in your life?

Then of course it always the unoriginal Monday and Tuesday updates, who just rotate “UGh it’s Monday!” and “Ya! It’s Friday!”. Makes me wonder if they have a career or still work hourly at Burger King.

Of course there are the several really cool things Facebook has brought my life. I’ve moved around quite a bit over the past 10 or so years, loosing a few good friends. Waking up this morning, Facebook left me a little love note in my email, stating yet another old friend found me. This time, it was one I wonder if died off and I missed the funeral.

So for every group of crappy, I really don’t know that person request (and some are darn persistent with their requests…like LEAVE me alone!), I find one golden friend from the past.

Thanks Facebook…I love you but damn you are annoying sometimes!
