Here’s A News Feed-You Need A Life

The daily News Feed is the first thing a person sees when signing into Facebook.  It’s riddled with insignificant status updates, quizzes that are never cool, and many other strange quips that are inconsequential to one’s life. In fact, sometimes the updates are just plain creepy.  I found it to be a tedious chore to scroll the feed and weed out what I actually cared about, which was never anything more than “I’m Engaged” or “Happy Birthday To Me”  (oops, forgot to wish her a happy birthday).  I’ve touched on this subject already, however, I recently learned that I was in the majority of people who felt the daily BS that appears on the News Feed is just tiresome and unoriginal.  

I got a call from my brother today, who initially was not an advocate of my quitting.  In fact I believe his words were, “Why would you quit? Don’t be a loser.”  Seems like the bro is coming around.  He called to tell me that one-Rihanna is so hot, and two-GQ magazine has a funny article called Eighteen People You're Scared Of On Facebook. The magazine chose 18 people whose status updates were corny and cliché, and genuinely annoyed them when signing in.  I must say, GQ was dead on, and I’m sure you will agree.  You can click the link to read the article, but to fully appreciate it I recommend buying the actual magazine, plus my brother was right, Rihanna is so hot ! Enjoy!
