Social networks.

Love ‘em.

Hate ‘em.

But what can you do? It’s how we stay connected nowadays. We don’t tell each other what’s going on with our lives, we update our Facebook and Twitter statuses. It went from letters to phone calls, phone calls to texts, and now we’ve gone from texting each other to updating our various social networks.

“What do you mean I didn’t tell you? I updated my Facebook. Helllooo.”

I’m not saying I’m innocent in all of this. I’m right there with everyone else updating all my shit. For what reason? I couldn’t tell you. It’s something to do. Not to mention it keeps me occupied and/or looks like I’m doing important things on my phone during awkward/boring/irritating situations.

It’s easier than ever to talk shit. And it’s faster. All you need is a cell phone and you can socially bash the person sitting directly next to you.

Technology Win.

I keep my Twitter and Facebook statuses updated for no particular reason. To be completely honest, I do it all for my own selfish reasons. Every once in a while I’ll go back and read everything and laugh at my witty remarks and smarts and pat myself on the back while reminding myself why I’m so great.

Don’t judge me. We all have our ways of stroking our own egos. For me, I have my best friends and Twitter.

I don’t object to people following me on Twitter but I keep my Facebook private for friends and family only because there’s personal information on there that I don’t want accessible to everyone. However, if I know you in real life and you friend request me, I will most likely accept your request. Yes, even family.

Does this mean I’m going to censor myself?

No.

As far as I’m concerned, if you see something you don’t like, that’s your own damned fault. I didn’t ask you to be my friend, did I?

That’s the problem, though. I’ve encountered my first instance of Facebook drama over something that someone didn’t like.

And to make matters worse, it was someone who isn’t connected to me and therefore went through steps to see this thing that was posted. Stop stalking me.

To top it all off, it was a misunderstanding over something minuscule that was unnecessarily inflated.

[shakes head]

That’s your bad.

Will I probably get in trouble later for writing a blog post about this incident?

Probably.

Enh. That was so last week.

I wonder if there’s anything new on Netflix …
