Facebook

Recently, I have seen my number of friends fluctuate. Personally, thats not an issue but Im really aggravated with Facebook(fb) to begin with.

Firstly, because of all the makeovers. COME ON, fb. Get with the program and stop being so self conscious. Your self esteem issues are ridiculous. How about you stick to what works for the public? And by public I am referring to us, the users.

Secondly, I hate that it tells the world everything it doesnt need to. Yes, there are settings to control this but come on, who really wants to spend 3 hours trying to figure out what does what in those settings and then making sure that its setup in such a way that wont be unfavorable to the user. Its so annoying.

Thirdly, I dont need that many friends. I have 700+ friends right now. Most of these people I know, at least 94% if not slightly more and out of all these friends, I speak to the same folk all the friggin time. I added people to SPEAK to them not to be nosey around their things. I wanted to keep in touch. A lot of these folks are people from JHS, HS, and colleges I have attended. Come on peeps! Stop with the trying to be nosey and actually TALK to me. Sheesh. All I really wanted was to keep in touch. Damn. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

Fourthly, the use of facebook for internet gangsters. Sigh. Never liked this but considering that Ive gotten a few private messages that I have ignored partially because theyre laughable and partially because Im too old for HS like behavior. If you are an adult and claim it, come talk TO me. Im an adult and if you come to me respectful then I will treat you as an adult and we can discuss whatever your issue is. Dont come to sideways, hypocritical or talk to someone else about your issue with me. You grown, right? Act it. Actions speak louder than words. Thats how I feel.

Fifthly, all these people with kids. OMG. So many people with kids. Its ridiculous. Im deleting people and realizing how many have kids. Mind you, I do understand that my parents were my age when they had me so I shouldnt be too surprised but damn. One would think that a generation later we would all learn to wait! This isnt the time to have a family unless youre really financially secure and stable. And at 21... you are neither. Not even my people in their late 20s have kids so why does someone my age or younger have one or two or three???

Then overall, its like too many folks just randomly want to add you. AARGH! I HATE THAT! Personally, I dont add anyone unless they went to my HS (more than likely theyre guaranteed a confirmation on their add) but JHS, if I didnt like you then I pretty much dont care about u now and I will ignore. If not, Ill add you to be nosey as to what are your intentions with my profile. Ill be the one to confirm you on a limited basis and see if you answer my "hey how you been" post. If you dont... well then youll never get upgraded and probably deleted. Aint that a stinker? LOL

Im also thinking that it wont matter who is on my profile or not because come January or March it WILL be deactivated. I cant have no possible employers searching for me, possibly finding me (although nearly impossible without the link to it) and then denying my resume because of others' foolishness. Nope, cant be having that. Also cant have that if I do decide to go get my MA. EFF THAT! I shant be got.

So here I am, continuing on my deleting people spree!

BTW I really hate how facebook decided to change so drastically. I remember being used to have people in list mode and press delete for each one instead of visiting their profiles separately and pressing remove. -_-
