I can't believe the day has come. Facebook is now it's own movie. I may as well show you the trailer because you'll see it for yourself soon enough. Seems a little anti-climactic to me but see for yourself.

The Girl's 100th
As my 100th blog was approaching I continuously asked myself what I was going to write about. How do I express 100 blogs worth of thought in just one blog? Do I make fun of something I've never made fun of yet? Do I compare the addiction to Facebook to my addiction to french fries? The answer: I still don't know, I'm not that clever. So for my 100th blog I can tell you this; I still don't miss Facebook and here are my reasons why:
A Top Ten if you will...
10. Because Farmville has been replaced by Fishville and I hate both farms and fish.
9. Because I no longer start sentences with "OMG did you see on Facebook..."
8. Because I no longer end sentences with "...I saw it on Facebook."
7. Because my grandparents no longer have access to my daily escapades.
6. Because I no longer have to wish people a Happy Birthday that I wasn't really friends with in the first place.
5. Because I now have an opportunity to make fun of everyone I know and get away with it.
4. Because I don't have to see everyone pretending to be happy and fun when we all know that if you need to post your pics for the world to see you're really not that fun.
3. Because I can actually hold a conversation, make a phone call, draft an email, send a text and don't need to rely on Facebook for anything social in my life.
2. Because I can wear the same outfit more than once without having to worry if people will judge me about it.
1. Because it feels good (and a bit safer) that I am not accesible to 500 million people worldwide.
So there you have. No revelations or wise words, just the truth. One hundred blogs later and I'm still going strong. Didn't think I had it in me, did you? No worries, I didn't think it either, but I did it, so at least I did something semi-productive in the last six months. And even though I would have liked to compare Facebook and french fries, let's be honest, french fries are a staple in my diet, I'll never be able to break that addiction.

The Official Summer Remix
As you've probably heard me mention before, I have been a die hard camper/counselor the past 17 years of my life. While my friends always thought it was ridiculous and borderline hated me for it, I had the best summers of my life up in Roscoe, NY. As of late, I no longer summer in Roscoe, but I do put out my official summer mix. While driving upstate you have to have the perfect soundtrack going in your car. And, once you get to Roscoe you can say goodbye to radio signals, so my mix of summer tunes is essential. I've put together my "If I Were Going To Roscoe 2010" mix for my brother, sister and friends. I hope they enjoy it, and I hope you enjoy it too!

iPandemonium 4
Today is the day! Do you not know what I'm talking about? Of course you do. iPhone 4 has been released! Now, I happen to really want the iPhone 4 but I did not rush to stores today nor did I pre-order it. When my phone is up for an upgrade (which is three weeks from now) I will attempt to to purchase the new toy. However, I did have to go to the ATT store today.
While there, the woman behind the desk told me that people had camped out in front of the store since last night. I would have paid to driven by the store and seen the morons waiting outside for a phone! We should remind ourselves that after all, it is just a phone.
What's funny is that the people who were camping out were the people that pre-ordered the phone. So yeah, that means that no matter what time they got to the store the phone was already there's. And apparently, due to the overwhelming demand the release date has been pushed back a few days. I snapped the photo posted below of the note that was posted on the door of the AT&T store. Insanity.

Cup Runneth Social Nework Over
Ok-now that Portugal has finished schooling North Korea I can focus on today's blog which happens to be World Cup related. If you haven't been paying attention to life lately than you may not have realized that the World Cup has been underway for the past 10 days. It's exciting, it's sexy and it's being followed by the world (duh) which of course means that it is all over social networking websites.
While I understand that people want to tweet about the 7 goals Portugal scored this morning or the goal that was robbed from the US team, why do the players need to promote themselves on Facebook and Twitter? Shouldn't they be busy, I don't know, trying to win the cup for their country?
According to an article on ABC news, "The World Cup has an unprecedented volume of social media outlets." You mean, people all over the world are using social networking sites to discuss the World Cup, no way? Guilty as charged, I've been blogging about it for the past two weeks. My gripe is not with the fans, because we all know, without fans, these games wouldn't exist. I'm more confused about the players promoting themselves on Facebook and Twitter a like.
If you're a US fan than you already love Landon Donovan. If you're a Cote D' Ivoire fan than Didier Drogba is your boy. No need for them to sign into Facebook (or have their agent sign in) to post a status update. You guys keep playing and looking sexy out there and leave the social media chit chat up to the rest of us dopes.

I Have A Barbequestion
As the weather heats up and we shed more and more clothes we are reminded of why we spent the last few months crash dieting. We cut our portions and spend hours at the gym to ensure we look hot in a bathing suit and super thin at all of our summer events. Tell me why then after months of starving ourselves we think it is ok to gorge at the season's best events, bbqs.
I love a good hamburger. It's the first thing I think to eat at a bbq. Medium rare with lettuce, tomato, and a ton of ketchup, what could be bad? I'll eat all the other good stuff too, corn, peppers, coleslaw and such, but you will never catch me eating a hot dog. There was once a time when I enjoyed them. But have you ever burped after eating one? Not good. Never again.
Anyway, here is what confuses me about the etiquette of bbq dining: why do we allow ourselves to eat a hamburger and a hotdog? I know, this is probably something you've never thought of or don't really care about. But, it is worthy of questioning at least once.
Put it this way, when you go to a restaurant and order a hamburger, do you ask the waiter for a hotdog as well? Of course you don't because that would be weird. You may ask for a side of veggies and even french fries, but eating a hot dog would be like eating another dinner. So why then when we are at a bbq do we think it's normal to eat both hamburger and hotdog?
I like a bbq as much as the next person, but I also like not having to go up a size in pants when I'm done eating. Trust me, there will be more than one bbq this summer, you can switch off between hamburger and hotdog at each one you attend. Just don't double fist it, it never ends good.
