At Least He's Not On Facebook

OMG! I have no words.  I know sometimes you might think I post stupid videos (ok maybe you think this all the time) but this one is truly amazing.  This guy is a dancing traffic cop and I seriously laughed the entire 4 minutes of the video.  I know it's a long one, but it's hilarious!!! Justin-even you will laugh!! Do yourself a favor and watch, it will make your day!!

Every Dog Has Its Facebook

I mean I think I have to just come right out and say this because I feel really uncomfortable about it.  My friend created a Facebook account for her dog.  This is weird.  There is no other way to look at it.

It's not like I don't understand the purpose of Facebook.  People create accounts so they can connect with friends, share photos, bla bla bla.  But why on earth would someone create a Facebook account for their dog?

One of my friends called me to tell me she saw something hilarious on Facebook.  Obviously, I was intrigued.  However, when she told me that our mutual friend had created a Facebook account for her dog, I was no longer laughing, I was genuinely confused, or more so just freaked out. Is this what people do these days? Am I missing something? Seriously, is there a point to this?

My friend proceeded to tell me what the dog's account looked like,  "Well, it has his name, Prince Peanut." After she said that, I think my brain froze.  I can't comprehend the weird names that people name their pets, but I let her go on anyway.  "Then he has photo albums, they're pretty much just of himself wearing different outfits and laying on the grass in the park."  Awesome, so the dog is posting modeling pictures, not much different than humans actually.  And lastly my friend says, "And he has a wall and other dogs write on it." So, my friend isn't the only weirdo out there, other human beings are creating Facebook accounts for their dogs, awesome.

I know that as a people, us humans tend to get bored very easily.  But does that really mean that  our boredom should give way to creating Facebook accounts for our pets?  I'm surprised actually that my friend didn't take it a step further and post the dog's relationship status.  There's always tomorrow though.  What will we amuse ourselves with next?

A New Reason To Be Lame

It's amazing how out of touch I've been this summer.  I've been too busy sunning myself and writing about bar soap that I've missed out on some great Facebook bashing.  A friend of mine recently told me about the site Lamebook.com, ever heard of it? It's amazing.

So, what is this Lamebook?  If you haven't figured it out, it's a site that makes fun of Facebook.  It copies absurd statuses, pictures, typos and more and posts it on it's own site.  The home page shows you the lamest statuses of the day, and the sidebar brings you to other amusing Facebook nonsense.  Some categories include: TMI, Personal Problems, WTFights, and Lamesters.

I have to say, my favorite category is Douchebags/Douchebagettes.  You can find some real winners in that category.  For example, today in the D/D category there was a picture posted of some douche that shaved the superman logo into the back of his head.  Another great one was the picture of two Juggalos (which I think are just clowns) getting married with their face paint on.  Priceless.

If you're looking to be amused definitely check out Lamebook.com.  Enjoy!

You May Now Change Your Status

If you are like me, then you've had a crazy busy summer because all of your friends are getting engaged and married.  And what is the first thing that everyone does after they become and engaged or married? You know it, they change their Facebook status!

Here's the thing, although I'm not on Facebook anymore, my recently married friend told me she changed her status immediately!  Not only did she change her status, but she sent me the cartoon below.  I love it when people can laugh at themselves!!!

Bar None

At a recent family dinner I brought up the following topic and was completely surprised when I learned that my assumption was wrong.  Well, you know what they say about assuming...but anyway, I was under the impression that the only person in the entire world that still uses bar soap is my father.  Apparently, I'm just the only weirdo that thought bar soap had become obsolete.

Bar soap.  That's right, that is today's topic.  I'm a big time fan of body wash, and I was pretty sure that once the clock stuck midnight and the millennium was official rung in, people ran through the streets cheering and throwing away their bars of soap.  I guess that didn't happen though, because bar soap is still in existence.   

Why am I so intrigued by bar soap? I'll tell you.  For those of you who know me, CVS is my favorite store in the entire world.  I can go in there for eye makeup remover and come out with $75.00 worth of products.  In a recent trip to my favorite store I was browsing the soap aisle for my usual Oil Of Olay Body Ribbons Body Wash (the best!) when I glanced across the aisle and noticed that were shelves upon shelves filled with bar soap.  I was baffled.  I don't know if I am just blind to bar soap or what, but I seriously thought that the world had converted to Body Wash.  Who doesn't love a loofa?

I decided to poll (ok, I didn't really do a poll I just asked around) some people I know to find out of they are stuck in the 70s using bar soap or if they've embraced the current times and made the move to body wash.  And, like I said, people are still using bar soap!  I'm sorry, I just think it's really weird.  With a good body wash and loofa you can lather every part of your body, including every major crevice (thanks for the line Kevin McCalister).  With a regular bar of soap, I don't even feel clean.  Ugh, and when you drop it in the tub and have to pick it up out of the soap water, just not for me.

So dad (and the rest of the weirdos that continue to bar it up), I apologize that I made fun of you, but I still think bar soap is gross.  It's 2010, convert to body wash, you can do it.

What's Another 100 Million Stalkers?

This just in, Facebook has hit another milestone: 500 million users.  Not even 6 months ago, Facebook had 400 million users.  As if there weren't enough stalkers already, let's all rejoice that there are now 100 million more.

In the past year, Facebook has literally doubled in size.  What happened to the days when it was college students only?  Not going to lie, that was pretty awesome.  We all just kind of looked each other up, figured out who we would hook up with next, and never worried if our future husband or wife's parents were watching our every move.

Now, you can't take a shower with out someone on Facebook knowing about it.  Seriously, chances are a friend will write on your wall saying, "Call me when you get out of the shower." Or your roomate might post an asinine status saying, "Might not make it out tonight because my roomie is using all the hot water."  Sounds ridiculous, but you know it's true.

I know I'm constantly saying that everyone on Facebook is a stalker, but the truth is, what is the point of being on Facebook if you aren't going to stalk people? "Oh but I wan't to communicate with friends over seas."  Awesome, send an email or try skype.  "Oh but what about the people we lost touch with from high school."  Yeah, if we lost touch in high school and we haven't reconnected it's because I could care less if we ever speak again.  Not to mention, Google is a perfectly fine tool for finding anyone you want on the internet.

So Mazel Tov, Facebook.  It's a proud day when you can say you've invited 100 million more stalkers into your world.  Keep up the good work!

Picture This

I apologize for my absence for the past few days.  Apparently, my blogs have been slacking recently.  I'm not going to lie, it's hard to hate on Facebook during the summer.  My mind is too busy pondering which dress to wear to which engagement party and if 15 SPF is enough for a day at the beach.  I've let everything Facebook disappear from my thoughts and today it's time to bring it back.

Over the weekend I went to visit my former sleep away camp with a camp friend of mine.  While we were there she was horrified that a picture of her from her early teens years had been posted on Facebook.  She was completely mortified by the picture and was hoping that one-not too many people would see it and two-no one would tag her in it.

We continued to enjoy ourselves up at camp, sunning at the pool, lounging at the lake, and slowly my friend began to forget about the picture floating on Facebook that was haunting her life.  Actually, if I'm not mistaken she called the picture of herself "a sin."

Later that evening while watching the campers participate in an activity when another friend says to my friend, "Hey, I just saw an old picture of you on Facebook."  While I burst out laughing, the feeling of horror spread across my friend's face.  The picture had only been posted a few hours prior and people were already beginning to talk about it.

A few minutes later another friend says, "Oh yeah, I saw this picture of you from the longest time ago on Facebook."  At this point, all my friend could do was laugh (although she may have wanted to cry).  For the remaining 2 days that we spent at camp I'd say at least 6 people mentioned this one specific picture.  And don't forget, internet access is limited at camp.  Imagine how many people would have mentioned it to her in the real world?

When I returned home from camp and began to tell my mom how my trip was, I wasn't surprised when she said, "Guess what? I just saw your friend in this picture on Facebook."

To The Sea

So my posts have been completely unrelated to Facebook lately and I kinda dig it.  I'm so over talking about Facebook, I'd rather just talk about good things, or other things I can make fun of.  On that note, I'm going to try to leave you with something good for the weekend.

I just saw Jack Johnson in concert this past Wednesday and I can honestly say it was one of the best shows I have seen in a while.  First of all, G. Love, whom I'd never seen before, opened for him and was awesome! If I haven't been clear Jack was amazing as well and he played my fave song as his encore. I was so pumped, he totally did that just for me (I'm delusional, I know). I didn't really know his new songs so I was a bit apprehensive, but as he played I just bopped along to music and I loved it!

This weekend I leave you with some good tunes to listen to as you lay on the beach, drive through the mountains (which I will be doing on my way up to camp!!!), hang out at a BBQ, or go To The Sea.  Enjoy!

Do You Remember (my fave)

Do The D-A-N-C-E

Today I will not be posting about Facebook.  One-because I have nothing to say about the stupid topic and two-because the video below is amazing. No story necessary for the following video.  Someone just sent it to me and it literally made my day (is that sad?).  For real though, it is seriously funny!

Hittin The Books

Even if I were not blogging about my hatred towards Facebook, it's plain and simple to see that Facebook is a hot topic.  It's mentioned on the nightly news, at friends birthday parties, at weddings, on television, on airplanes, and the list goes on and on.  So it might not be a surprise to anyone that Facebook is now becoming one of the most interesting topics to write about.

Every couple of days I like to browse through Amazon to see what's new and exciting (some may use the word dorky, I still stand by exciting).  Not to my surprise some of the books that popped up on my reading list (or the books that Amazon chooses for me) are Facebook related.  I'm not going to lie, it makes me a little mad that all these people are publishing books about Facebook while I'm just a little blogger who gets maybe 4 hits a day.  Maybe I should write a book? Hmmmm

Anyway, I've compiled a list of Facebook related books below.  I may actually even read one or two of them, but I still bet I could write something better (bitter much?). Enjoy!

Some Facebook Summer Reading
The Facebook Effect
Facebook For Dummies
The Facebook Era
Facebook Cookbook

Welcome To Facebook, Gramps

Well ain't this sweet, a community grandpa.  And apparently he's all the rage on Facebook.  You know what that means, if you're popular on Facebook than you must be the real deal! Take a look below.

Stop Drinking The Haterade

Listen, I don't want to be hater, but this Lebron thing has gone too far.  I seriously can not believe the world is so infatuated with his damn decision to play for the Heat.  I went to an engagement party last night and as I floated from convo to convo everyone seemed to be talking about Lebron.

I'm not going to lie, when I found out Lebron was going to the Heat I was pissed.  As you know, I'm a big D. Wade fan and I felt it was Wade's team and I didn't need want anyone coming in and stealing his thunder.  However, when I heard that Lebron said he wanted to join a team where he didn't have to scored 30 points each night by himself I realized that he is relying on Wade to still be the big man, and with that I am OK.  Bitch move on Lebron's part though, thats pretty soft.

My last and final opinion on the matter is of the Cleveland Cavalier fans.  Two word: grow up!  Is is really necessary to burn Lebron's former jersey in the street?  Did the owner of the Cavs really need to make a statement as if we were the scorned lover in a high school relationship?  The man is allowed to trade teams if he wants, after all, that's the point of being a free agent.  Now that I've put my feelings out on the table with the rest of the world, is it OK if we stop talking about Lebron?  Let's hate on other things, like Facebook.

There's A New King In Town

How could I talk about Facebook today when there is something way more important hanging in the balance?  I know you know what I'm talking about because for the past week(s) and today especially all the big news stations are covering the story.  That's right, we're talkin Lebron James.

With Lebron being a free agent there is just nothing else in sports that seems to matter these days.  Spain v Netherlands, who cares? Lebron has to choose a team!  Now, I hate to say this (sorry Michael) but Lebron is just not "The King" in my eyes.  Last week he showed up to his meetings with the Knicks and Nets wearing nothing more than a t-shirt and shorts.  Would a real king ever show up to a business meeting in a t-shirt and shorts? I think not.

Next on my list of annoyances with Lebron.  He's just not humble.  Have you seen my boy Dwayne Wade this week? He handles himself like a gentleman, how can you not love him.  And, let's not forget,    D. Wade's already got himself a ring!  To me, he is number 1!

Forget that our country is an economic crisis and that the unemployment rate is at it's all time highest, tonight at 9 PM Lebron will hold his all-mighty  press conference to discuss his future (and multi-million dollar career) with the rest of the world.  Good luck to you Mr. James and remember, King Wade for life!

Facebook Obama-rama

Big news in Facebookland, President Obama is now the first politician to have 10 million fans.  Riveting stuff, I know.  However, this little tid bit made the national news today.  And although they found this to be exciting on the news, they are also disappointed.  Yes, Obama has 10 million more friends than most Facebookers but he doesn't have more fans than Lady Gaga.  A congratulations is in order for the Lady being she is the first person to hit the 10 million mark.

While 10 million is an impressive number (to those of you who care about having Facebook friends), 11 million is even more impressive.  Lady Gaga has surpased the Pres by 1,200,000 friends.  But don't worry in the race for Facebook popularity, President Obama is still beating Vin Diesel 400,000.

Sometimes I can't believe this is the stuff I actually write about.  I'm pretty sure the President has bigger concerns than how many people he is friends with on Facebook. However, his Facebook page is by a group that is part of the Democratic National Committee.  I guess we will see how many friends he has when it's time to vote again.

Reunited And It Feels So Good

Due to it being a holiday weekend, I will not be able to post anything Facebook related today.  One-I like to take a holiday from talking about Facebook every now and then, and two-my best friend got married this weekend and my brain is no longer capable of composing intelligent thoughts.

I will say this though, my best friend and her now husband (woah, she has a husband!) reunited on Facebook.  So as much as I hate the stupid site, it did bring two amazing people together.  Awwww, what a sap I am.  But I love them both and couldn't be happier for them even if it was Facebook that reunited them!

Happy Hot Dog

July 4th weekend is upon us and you know what that means...the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest! I know, for someone who has a problem with people who eat both hamburger and hot dog at a BBQ you'd think that I also detest people who compete in a national competition to scarf down hot dogs, but I don't, I love it.  It's like a car accident, you know you don't want to watch but you just can't help it.

Last year, Chestnut beat Kobayashi, a big disappointment in my eyes.  I really expected that little guy to be able to take em down, I don't know why considering he probably weighs under 150 lbs.  This year, Kobayashi declared he won't be competing in the contest, but I'll believe it when I see it.

If you have no interest in watching people clog their arteries, than the Nathan's Contest is not for you.  I hope everyone has a lovely 4th of July weekend, I know I will as my best friend is getting married!!  And by the way, if you do want to eat a hamburger and a hot dog at your BBQ this weekend, don't let me stop you, after all, I am essentially promoting a contest where people eat so much they might throw up in your face on national TV! So really, what do I know?
