Life

I was on the Mississauga bus the other day. I was plugged into my droid  Two young men got on at a stop and sat near me. They began to talk to each other, not in English. This really irritated me. 

Why and what did that say about me?

I had no interest in their existence. None. No ill will or anything like that. Pure indifference. So I certainly had no interest in what they were talking about, only that they were louder than my music and broke my concentration with facebook.

When people who speak a language other than English in the GTA, there are so many English words thrown in you can almost understand them.  So you can't help but listen to them!

(I know about 25 years ago one winter my hat was being made fun of in Italian).

So anyway, I turned up my music to drown out the other passengers because what's worse than interacting with people on a social network than having people interrupt it.

Seinfeld on Facebook

What's the deal with Facebook?

Imagine if Facebook was around so "Seinfeld" could have discussed it.

I think it would go something like this:

1. The over-poster. A person who posts 50, 60 things in an hour.

2. The over-sharer - someone who thinks every thought, activity should be posted.

3, The religion guy - thinks everyone wants him to post 15 religious quotes a day.

4. The guy who links his blog to Facebook.........ummmmmm lol

5. The blitzkrieg hermit - is active on facebook all day for 5 days in a row, then is not seen for six months.

6, Photmaniac - posts 50, 60 pictures at as time

7. Blackberry bird photogrpaher - thinks all the birds he takes pics of should be posted on...oh wait...

8. Over quizzer - invites you to take far too many quizzes  - "The top albums from 1972-78 where half the band has receding hairlines. I got 23 out of 55!".

9. The over gamer - posts every score of the facebook games, 50 0r 60 times a day. Even posts at the first quarter.

10. Overhaters - people who post pretty sick comments they'd never have the guts to say to a person's face.
