Lets face it (ha, I'm just so clever), Facebook is currently ruling the world. Oh, we like to believe we are in control, but really, sit down and take a moment to think about the last piece of news you received today. Was it from the morning news? Perhaps a noble looking newspaper, or even a reputable news magazine? Perhaps it was even from a less honorable US Weekly.
Nope. The last tidbit of information that my mind received about the world around me came from none other than, yes, Facebook.
Think about it, someone breaks up. But not really until it is Facebook official, I mean lets be serious. Someone gets engaged, no longer is the topic of discussion your next hair cut, but instead your determination to give them a heartfelt congratulations, and its not heart felt unless it is Facebook.
But more honestly yet, we all know that everyone has at least two friends who are specifically what I like to call "Stalkees". By definition, Stalkees are the friends you have specifically to up your creepiness. They are the friends you don't actually know, but, somehow you feel entitled to their life via pictures and status updates. Their online lives suck you in, and you find yourself hours later, still looking through their 7th photo album about a trip they took to Washington with other people you don't know to do some cool things you don't actually care about.
Why so interested? Well, you're not really, Facebook has just done its job on you. The drug that is facebook has wrecked its havoc on your life, and you are now experiencing the side effects. You have the symptoms of a creeper. Congratulations.
amen.
