Enlightening Thought #6

Are you one of those people who post n (n>100) facebook statuses per hour? Do you enjoy torturing others with the boredom of your minute-to-minute activities?



Here's a piece of advice for you:

There are some things you just keep to yourself.

And in this case, it's just about everything that you feel the urge to post on your wall about.

John Smith is bored.
John Smith is really bored.
John Smith needs something to do.
John Smith is leaving the computer.
John Smith likes the weather.
John Smith has an itch in his ear.
John Smith is tying his shoelaces.
John Smith is eating tape.
John Smith updates his status too damn much.

Same with those melodramatic, over-the-top statuses.

Joe Smith just had the worst day ever and is going to slit his wrists now k thx bye!
Joe Smith feels like the world just ended and he needs a fucking break from his fucking life!
Joe Smith just had the worst hour ever - his stupid sister stole his stupid math book and won't give it back. His math homework isn't due for two weeks but he really needs something to complain about. Life is stupid.
Joe Smith is sick of life and is going to deactivate his facebook if no one likes this status!

Here's the thing. Upon reading your statuses, those who don't give a shit still won't give a shit. Those who give a shit are probably creepers tracking your every move. They probably also know where you live, have your 11 digit number memorized backwards, and stand outside your window with night vision goggles at 3 in the morning. Do you really want those people knowing every detail of your life?

So what's the upside to all this? There is none. Posting a status about something insignificant that happened to you does not automatically make it significant. No one really gives a shit whether you're eating tacos or burritos, and no one cares if you need to defecate.

Please find something more useful to do with your life. k thx bye.
