Faceless in Facebook

Recently i have been addicted to FB...nothing new to all the millions who are already hooked on to it...but for someone like me who has been deliberately avoiding getting caught in the vortex, it was a surprise ( seriously, i was shocked to find that the first page that i open in my browser is FB...)

The true extent of my addiction hit me when i caught myself arguing with my mobile operator that connecting to FB was taking time and i needed a faster service...that's when i thought i shall sit back and see what is it that has got me hook,line and sinker. Started listing down the pros and cons...here it goes.

i love the status messages...i love connecting with people whom i lost touch and never realized i would be getting in touch with.

i hate the status messages...seriously, who on earth would want to know if your potty clogged up...one other blogger calls these people THE FILTERLESS..

i hate connecting with people...hello there was a reason why we went out of touch...i didnt want to keep in touch..cant you take a hint...i call these people THE STALKERS...the sad part is that they start their conversations with " no stalk...are you the person that i met in such and such place at such and such time doing such and such stuff...( hee hee, i may sound too righteous but i have been one of these also...i apologize)

i love the videos..the games...the quizzes...the applications. a wonderful way to while away time in office.

i hate the videos..come on...the same video being reposted and reshared over and over again...arghhh give me a break...i have access to youtube too, dumbnuts.

i hate the games...not because of the games themselves but because of the barrage of requests that stem from them..Farmville especially...i am not playing it guys...if i wanted to be a farmer i would have quit long back and moved to the boondocks...

i hate the quizzes...oh man, how i hate the quizzes..."find out which dead animal you are" " find out which famous murderer from history you are"...seriously come on ppl.

i hate the applications...."cartoonize yourself" "mortify yourself" " kill yourself"

i love and hate it..equally..without any preferential treatment. so i shall be on facebook for a long time to come...


one last thing...found this on my friend's reasons to hate facebook

Please Join My Group
Another group invitation?!!! Let’s see. “So and so invited you to join the I-Know-a-Zimbabwean-who-knows-a-Zambian-who-knows-Robert-Mugabe group.” Why should I join this useless group? I am a member of a hundred groups already- all of which I eagerly joined- but have I gained anything from them? Well, besides clutter in the days of my life- nothing! So unless you can show me that this group is actually going to do something, stand for something, NO I will not become a member.
