Alright internet. You're an ever expanding mass of technological innovation and yet, what the hell do people do all day? Get on fucking facebook. I frequent Reddit with a passion because I've started into this downward spiral with FaceBook. Seriously, I don't give a crap about what your new bike looks like, what you and your boyfriend are doing, how much you don't want to be talked to right now, how great you and so-and-so are getting along, what music you're listening to, movie you're watching, or food item you're eating. Enough is ENOUGH. Does no one get tired of removing the mystery from life? What fun is it to know what everyone is doing all the time? Where will the conversation go when you actually hang out? Oh, what am I saying? You won't hang out because your fucking internet relationship is better than a PHYSICAL one. Fuck, man.
I'll admit, Reddit is pretty dumb, too. Amidst maybe 4 actual current news stories, you have 25 cats, 7 macro pictures, songs from 6 years ago that people still fucking like, and gobs of memes. I sit there and scroll through it and giggle to myself at the humor of it all, and then I retract. Holy shit, I seriously just laughed at a cat popping out of a box? Are you fucking kidding me? THAT'S what I think is funny?! And I close the window.
People just veg in front of FaceBook or Google for hours and then look around and exclaim, "Omg, I just procrastinated, better write that paper." Ten minutes later, they're back on FaceBook. No, I'm not trying to be high and mighty about it all - I've been there! That's why it really bothers me. How the hell did I do that with my life? How the hell did I just let myself sit there and muse, "haha, look at that dumb meme" or "wow, Jenny has a new kitchen." HOW?!
It's these reasons why I don't see a problem with video games. With a video game - no matter how idiotic you may think the plot (or lack thereof) may be - at least the person is actively giving their mind to something rather than scrolling up and down on their news-feed wondering why there's nothing new for them to not give a shit about. That's another issue. As much as you'll read the post about Jenny's new kitchen, do you give it more than 12 seconds pondering? No. You do not. You glance, like, move on. Fuck you. Go SEE that kitchen for chrissake. Be IN it. There's nothing more real than the real and Facebook removes us from the real.
Yeah, sure, okay, it keeps us in touch with each other, but how much harder is it to pick up your phone and text someone, "Dude, do you have a boyfriend now?" or "Hey man, how's your life going." Doing it over the internet just isn't the same, because if you said all that, two clicks later you could figure out how everything is.
It's the mystification of life that is lost. No one cares. And that is sad. Put down your facebooks and your reddits, your youtubes, and googles. Walk outside with a book. Sit down and play Kingdoms of Amalur or COD against friends. Activate your minds. Stop being Facebook zombies. You know you are. Fucking do something about it. End the cycle.
Shit.

Do you have to use so much foul language? It's not helping anything.
YES! there must be something out there besides Facebook! But I have to say this! I do not see much foul language on it! and your mouth needs to be washed out with soap young lady!
