I've been going back and forth with this FB love/hate relationship that I've constructed and I came up with the ultimate list of why I don't need to blend in the Facebook hype.
Ready?
I hold accounts to the following social media outlets that allows me to participate in the same functions as FB would, but in different outlets to different crowds:
(1.) Twitter: I'm able to view people's statuses of my choice, not by force, instead of being bombarded with status updates that refer to one's significant other, an intoxicated moment, moans and groans about what day of the week it is, a bitching hungover broad, and hopes and desires that people explicitly post. Oh..and I'd be waaaaay too embarrassed to show people that I'd be Facebook friends with the Kardashians, so instead I can stalk them on Twitter.
(2.) Yelp: a forum dedicated to semi-justified reviews of places and things from individuals that I cannot judge from what I know about their character and my personal rating scale of how relevant their intelligence is regarding uh... everything.
(3.) Shutterfly: I have the capability to reveal my non-skilled photographs privately or share them with selected family members and friends AND in return I don't have to see any solo angled mirror shots of some fatty.
(4.) Evite, Emails, BBm and Text: Invitations and such can be corresponded and spread through the following. No need to utilize the FB feature, but I shall continue to use it...when I feel like it.
(5.) The real homies know where I work, how I currently look like, what life changing moments I'm surpassing, the foods I eat for breakfast, the melodramatic instances of the night before, what socks I'm wearing, my every day discoveries and so on and so forth. I don't need to share them with people that I have yet to speak to or refuse to speak to.
I've tossed and turned, flipped and slipped with Facebook, but now we've parted with a possible return for event or lurking purposes (hehe).
Other than that, I'm displaying a course of action as I ban FB, but delve into the delectable treats of other social nets that I devour my hours and sweet time into, instead of simply being a member where all of these occur. I enjoy piling my desktop with bookmarks and such. Ah yes... I am truly a work of art.
Signed,
The Hypocrite
