So Yea, I’m On Facebook

I’m generally weary of any website that touts itself as a social network. Maybe I’m just getting old and I’m failing to keep up with the kids. Where instead of putting any type of effort, creating and showcasing a designed website, people flock to sites like facebook, myspace and such to generate what amounts to a clusterfuck of brightly flickering colors, images, horrendous coding and Internet predators.Yes, I admit that I really don’t get the point of social networking site but I guess that ultimately proposes the $10,000 Peso question; Why am I on facebook?

I understand the context that yes, this is a social networking site i.e. networking in a online social environment. But doesn’t that sound like a big crock of shit? Can you truly have a honest to goodness social and networking experience online? Certainly online networking cannot hold a candle to events where interpersonal communication say like a company picnic or a dinner party. Maybe I’m comparing apples and oranges but tagging a picture of that funny face you made at the Christmas Party last year in someone’s online album wouldn’t have the same effect as showing off your photo album at the family barbecue and explaining that funny face. But I digress.

So to answer the from above; why am I on facebook? I really can’t. Blame the fact that I keep getting facebook invites from all my frat brothers and after the fifteenth one, I finally decided to accept, not really knowing what I was getting into. I know, I live on the edge. I really don’t have high expectations for this site or my profile. There’s a chance I could say ‘Fuck this!’ and delete it all next week. All I can say is that my name is Tony, and I’m on facebook.

*Edit* I guess If I were to write a entry about being on Facebook, I should at least put a link to my Facebook page.

I Found It!

This song was been bouncing around in my head for a few weeks. Every time I try to recall it, I get the lyrics confused with Corinne Bailey Rae‘s song Breathless but after countless Google searches I found it.

The general reaction to my leaving my current job has been a bag of mixed responses but generally positive. Its funny how I gave my notice on a Thursday morning and by Friday afternoon the entire plant was either asking when my last day was, exclaiming that I’d be missed or wondering where my new job was.What really made my day was when a bunch of the floor operators asked if I stayed they went to HR and ‘aggressively requested’ a bigger salary for me. I chuckled and responded “Oh, I’m not leaving because of money but I appreciate the thought.” That kept me smiling for the rest of the shift.
