bringin revival

Music: Northern Star - Leona Naess

This is my first legitimate attempt at resurrecting my blog. Oh sweet blog, how I have missed you. This may be a little premature, since I still don't have anything substantial to say. But I figure maybe, just maybe, it will turn out to be my cyber field of dreams. If I build it, he will come. Hopefully the words will follow.

Aside from the fact that I think facebook ruins lives, I have another complaint. I hate the sidebar when you first log on that says "People You May Know." It's always the same people, and I rarely know anyone. I just deleted everyone it has ever offered up as a facebook friend to me. It's best reason for showing these people are immaterial facts such as "You and ____ both went to Michigan." Well, hot damn! If he went to Michigan, we must know each other and therefore must be friends. I wonder how many times my picture has appeared on somebody's sidebar. And also, what's the deal with people unfriending facebook friends? Do people actually really care who their facebook friends are? Facebook is not a real judgment of who your friends are. At least not for me. I know people who have unfriended facebook friends because they got into a fight or had political disagreements. Good lord. Get over yourself. I started out just confirming everyone that added me, because I really didn't care. And I still don't. But, I have had to tighten my restrictions a little ever since facebook became more like myspace, and it was no longer limited to college students. I confirmed someone I didn't know, because I really don't care, but then they started sending me weird messages. So now I don't confirm anyone that I don't know or know of. But I think unfriending people or refusing people's facebook friendships who you dislike makes such a wussy statement. It's like saying, "You're not invited to my birthday anymore."
