Look, so I know I'm not exactly the queen of discretion when it comes to Facebook. The subtitle above "Making it Even Easier For You to Stalk Me" was meant to be poking fun at the fact that yes, I do constantly update my status and yes, I am constantly letting you know my exact daily location and activities, so I'm pretty much inviting you to have a freakish obsession with my life. And now there is this blog, so you get to see what's inside my head too. Yes, these things are out there and open to the public. However, I draw the line at publicly exposing the things that are truly personal to me. The things that are really meant to be private, ARE private, and you will not see them on my facebook nor shall you see me writing about them in this blog. So it bothers me when I log into FB this morning and see the updates of a certain girl (who shall remain unnamed) BEGGING for the forgiveness of her now ex-boyfriend and petitioning FB friends to support their reunion. Her previous update was a pitiful exclamation at being dumped - with a comment by her ex angrily explaining why he broke up with her, and then a bunch of other friends throwing in their two cents on the disaster.
Firstly, I do not want to read on Facebook about the pathetic demise of anyone's relationship and I certainly don't think anyone should be begging for someone's forgiveness using such a medium. Heard of a telephone? It's this communication device some dude called Bell invented back in the 1800s and it allows you to talk to someone without the rest of the world listening in to your conversation. Seriously, no-one wants to watch disgruntled lovers hash it out in a status update comment war! Save that shit for behind closed doors! It's sad. I know it's 2010 and all but fuck...if this is how communication has evolved then it's no wonder our personal relationships are steadily dissolving. I feel for this girl, I really do. Of course I know what it feels like to be dumped and to want your boyfriend back. And yeah, sometimes you think of crazy ways to try and re-establish a connection. But on Facebook? Come on. I mean, you might as well create an Event and title it "I'm Pathetic and My Relationship is Shit" then invite all your friends to come along. There are just some things that are not meant for public viewing, and needless to say, this should include your private life and romantic relationships. What do you all think?
Check out Lamebook.com for the rest of the argument in the pic above...this isn't who I was writing about, it's just some random dude bitching about his girlfriend. Was very tempted to send Lamebook a print screen shot of the conversation I'm talking about, but since I know this girl ima save her the embarassment haha.
