Mondays can be so cruel. As you muster up the strength to face your monotonous day with a giant cup of coffee and an oversized scarf, I thought, maybe I could do my part to give you a break from the Monday blues. Every Monday will be dedicated to a little piece I like to call, "Three reasons I don't miss Fbook." Please enjoy, and don't spill your coffee, it's not even noon yet!
Three Reasons I Don’t Miss Facebook
3-Because I really don’t need to see how tan everyone is.
Welcome back New Yorkers. I think it's safe to assume that almost everyone who was away has now returned (except my recently engaged friend who is still enjoying some private time with her fiancé in Florida). Whether you were in Cabo, Aruba, Miami or Puerto Rico, you’re back and your skin is bronzed while mine is turning a lovely shade of milky white. I’m glad you met celebrities on the beach in Cabo and listened to some famous DJ spin at Liv in Miami, but, I certainly don’t need to be reminded of it, album after album. Again, welcome home, and be sure to moisturize.
Is this a joke? Farmville, seriously, this is how people are spending their time? Hours upon hours spent, “harvesting crops,” on Farmville for Facebook. Let me get this straight. You have a pretend farm and pretend crops and you make pretend money the more you harvest and sell. Does this not sound like a big ole waste of time to you? Apparently it doesn't to my 17 year old sister. With her senior year half way over and college acceptances rolling in there is nothing more she likes to waste her time with then buying corn on Farmville and sending purple ducks to her friends. I'll give her that she's 17, but what about the 30 year old farmers? If your over 18 (and I'm being generous here), please, I beg of you, find something better to do with your time, plant a real garden in your backyard. I promise you it will be more fulfilling!
1-Because I find it bizarre that you need to tell the world you are eating a jelly doughnut.
Listen, I’m really glad that you have the confidence to express yourself to the entire world that is Fbook, but tell me, is it necessary to make a status telling the world about every morsel of food that has entered your mouth in the last 24 hours? And, yes, I’m aware that the Jets clinched and the Giants suck, but again, do you really need to post a status about it every 19 minutes? I doubt it. If your sister had a baby and you’re excited about it then by all means brag to the world about it! But, if you’re just bored out of your mind and you actually believe that people care that you just had a nice warm mug of hot chocolate, you are mistaken. Let’s keep it real, can we?
So those are today’s “Three Reasons I Don’t Miss Facebook.” Hope you enjoyed and feel free to comment and let me know what you think. If I had to guess, I think you might agree with my thoughts :) !
