Facebook Fatigue

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

I unfriended 51 people the other day, and stopped posting to FACEBOOK.

I call it FACEBOOK FATIGUE.

Its like living in an open barracks with lotsa people you kinda know but not really.

Mostly I object to FACEBOOK stalking me when I'm off-site. I dislike the Bible thumping, and lame cartoons, too. And it seems like most people are totally insecure about expressing any opinion that isnt a military backslap or appeal to save the whales.

From what I read, I'm not alone.

I may crankup my old blog, THE MORONIANS VS THE SMARTIANS.

Matter of fact I lost 60 pounds and the gals notice. A few are kinda young (17?-18?). Plus I cut the comb-over off and wear a military style buzz-cut now. I'm in better shape than my son who just retired from the military. Weight lifting helps.

I think sex appeal has more to do with whether a man is up for some action and can take care of business. Its the self-confidence, and abscense of desperation, too.

There's a widow a few houses down I wanna peg. She's 40 with 2 young kids. Hubby died about 8 years ago. She's cute and flirty.

Having un-friended quite a few from my own in the not -to-distant past, I agree with you completely...

What's a Facebook?

I dropped mine and it was never really "me" but one for a pen name and even that was annoying.

It had a good original purpose as a great way fro long distance friends and family to keep up to date, but got ridiculous.

I think the day someone posted on their "wall" "Just got my period and have the cramps from hell" I realized how sad an lifeless many of these people truly are.

JBJ - I ran into you on FB by accident the other day. As I recall, you had left a comment on some thread I was on. When I went to your page and recognized your famous vegetable garden, I had to laugh. I didn't realize LIT people actually existed in RL. That's a little unnerving.

It's any handy book suitably thick for whacking someone in the face.

Whoo hoo where's my hardcover version of Battlefield Earth?

Thanks, Ben. I have several of those - I just didn't know what they were called.

At a concert, I noticed a person in front of me constantly taking pictures of himself, his friends, and the band. Then, he would upload them to his Facebook page. He missed most of a terrific show by playing with his phone all night. Plus, he kept blocking my view with his stupid phone. Pathetic.

IMO Facebook's for people who need people, but are too fucking lazy, shy. ugly or insecure to actually go out in the world and meet them face to face. You can have a shitload of so-called friends to chat with as you sit around in your underwear in your parent's basement eating Cheesy Poofs, drinking root beer and smelling like a goat.

Don't even get me started on smart phones.

Mmm. I am on Facebook so I can talk to friends in Japan, Greece, Australia and even North America .

I started really using it after the tsunami in Japan to check my friends there were OK. I had lost contact with many of them, as we all have busy lives and nowadays I really like to see an occasional photo coming through of them out having a beer or to post something that's going on in my life. (Occasionally! not every breath I take - that's on a different website.)

My friends seem to post sarcastic feminist postcards and very rarely confess to their love for Jesus. Sometimes they say how much they love men in kilts, with pictures. Or women in hot leather catsuits. With pictures.

I haven't yet got a smartphone.

Youre always welcome to FRIEND me, and YES! we're all real, whatever that means.

No smartphone here, either. I'm no slave to fashion.

I agree. Nothing is more fascinating than another person, if you can tease a tidge of their soul out into the sunlight.

I knew you were a secret postmodern thinker.

I like to sit on the bus and look at the people getting on and off. We block off the world around us so much of the time. It's not surprising when you look out of the bus windows at grey buildings and lurid adverts trying to persuade you that a sexy new deodorant will attract lots of women to you and change your dull life. But sometimes you go past the park when the cherry trees are in blossom and catch your breath like the spring breeze.

I would be sorry to miss that because I was chatting with you guys on my smartphone; much as I love chatting with y'all.

BTW, I rely on my sympathetic smile and wicked words to pull women, not Lynx deodorant.

I rest my case.

I'm a victim.

I think of you as a lethal sexual predator, I really do. A vixens fox.

I live on a street named Fox Run and Vixen Lane. Both. Depends on the side of the street youre on.
