Rant time again. Whats with everyone needing to be on facebook/myspace, Honestly?

“You’re not on facebook, you don’t matter” I was told at a recent get-together. “You are on facebook, you think you matter” was my immediate drunken response. They walked away. Oh, a minute ago we were about to be online “friends” now you aren’t on speaking terms with me.

Without fail, every time I go to a bar and meet someone who I barely talk to, they ask for my facebook info. What? We went our entire lives without ever considering ourselfs friends. I’ve never called you. I’ve never had your phone number. I don’t have your email. We’ve never hung out unless a mutual friend throwing a party was involved or we happened to see each other at the bar, like tonight. Why would you want to be my friend on facebook/myspace? We aren’t friends! I just don’t get it.

I refuse to join the online revolution that is myspace/facebook. Social Networking is mostly for scene kids. For the people who needed to be in the popular clique in highschool. That is not entirley true, its also great when used as free marketing. Both of those things I want nothing to do with.

Good luck landing that new job you’ve been ranting about all night to anyone within earshot with that myspace page of yours. You know the one with you in a bra holding a solo cup drawing a penis on your passed out friends face. Employers use myspace too, moron. You better hope they have a shitty HR dept. “I KeEp iT rEaL WiT My GuRlz ~o~ ChiX Be4 DiX!!~! HaMmErD aNd HolDiN iT DoWn!”, let me guess… That isn’t on your resume.

I liked this recent article on someone creating a fictional facebook account and getting 100 friends in days. Without even being a real person. More like FakeBook, am I rite?
