the like button


I hate facebook with everything i have yet i am obsessed with it.

which leads me to think why on earth they are insistant on making it worse for me. Its filled with people like me who spend there time at home on facebook instead of doing something, which means its impossible to start a good conversation with them.

So you find yourself "liking" pages that your freinds have also "liked". Theres cute little lovey pages for the girls to waste there time on HOPING that the right boy will take pity on them enough to go out with them (if they notice that they liked the page), then theres the downright funny ones which recreate real life situations that everyone "likes" because they assume that just because they have been in the same situation before they must therefore "like" it.

All these problems never occured back in the old school days of "becoma a fan" but then again they had there own problems with the unstoppable surveys and popups that for some reason EVERYONE USED. but hey good old facebook got rid of that problem with the "like" button......

oh yeh the surveys are still here, and thats right there not even surveys, if you were yelling at the screen for long enough to notice they arnt even surveys.

there prize draws and advertisements in my book thats not even a survey unless filling out your personal details is classed as a survey. NOT ONLY THAT but they have the cheek of calling them a short FREE survey. there about as free as a terrorist at guantamino bay.

So here we are on facebook with noone to talk to, countless farmville requests and mafia wars notifications and when we see a page we want to like we find ourselves on another website filling out a free survey which turns out not to be a survey but a conjob completely unrelated to the original thing we liked. we shut the page down go back to facebook to see that all of your freinds have seen what you have "liked" and have also gone through the same process. i dont know who invented this idea but they need to be linched

but if you are lucky enough to miss this horrible turn of events and you find yourself on a reasonably ok looking page that shows you what lady gaga looked like before she whent gaga you may also notice this huge misunderstanding that has also gripped facebook

"like this page to continue"
forgive me for being the most simple person on the planet but i thought that in order to "like" said picture of lady gaga i need to see it first in order to like it?

thats like saying that i like avocado...... i have never touched an avocado or tasted it and from the pictures ive seen it doesnt exactly look amazing so how can i possibly like the dam fruit???????

and then if thats not enough to drive me insane, yes theres more, they then ask you to suggest the page to all my freinds as well BEFORE I KNOW WHAT IT IS IM LIKING.

so imagine me and my avocado again for a minute ive stated that i like it when ive never tasted it and now im going to all my freinds that they should try it..... THATS MADNESS.

facebook the worst form of life deprivement there is yet i know that as soon as ive typed this up i shall be back on it. God help us all

Top ten ways to be remembered on the internet

Sunday 8 August 2010

Im back with a new trick

the trick of havingyou spend the time to leave facebook just to read my blog, im honoured really i am but i think that i may have an apology to some that i need to make. I promised a book

and i diddnt deliver, thing is noone can be bothered to read a chapter every day cus here on facebook, not an online book lol. So im sorry for the odd few, emily and ben who never saw what they wanted but hey i got as bored as everyone else.

SO what is the big subject today? ill tell ya

WHY NUDISTS DONT HAVE TEENAGER FREINDS


im not just on about nudists so dont worry im not about to hurt your eyes with any disgusting nonsense you would see on jeremy kyle. People are different and over the ages this has produced the tendancy for people to judge there fellow man or woman in many harsh yet almost true ways.

For example you wont find many teenagers with nudists as freinds for one clear reason, "thats just skatty thou". oooh how judgmental but at the end of the day we all agree with that. So the point im making is that, we shouldnt judge others for there own weird and wonderful ways and all get along, i hear you say. No dont be so stupid. judging is bad but theres reasons why certain people shouldnt be freinds or even aquaintances.

You would never find a hiker enthusiast with a game designer, or a goth with a chav at least not very often. What hiker wants to sit down and hear the woes of low pixel rate a game has, or does a goth want to sit down and listen to 50 cent? nooo, and it should stay that way, we dont have the same freinds for a very good reason.

Take the original idea of nudists and teenagers, imagine if i matthew leigh had a nudist bunch of mates lets think what would happen to my social life......... thats right it would shrink. AND THAT IS SERIOUS.

"oh yeh i was hangin out with mark the other day"
"isnt he the nudist?"
"oh yeh but hes a nice guy"
"oh ..... i see"

NOOOOOooooo wouldnt be right, they live in colonys for a VERY good reason. but its the same every where, i take the mick out of ben rowe for half wearing his belt and although its only a joke it proves why i probably will never be best buds with ben rowe, we dont fit in the same situation. or why stephen cant walk into a pub and just hang out or even why jade would look so weird in the lake district with a load of hikers. THOSE PEOPLE DONT GO TOGETHER. and thats fine and everyone can agree with that yet i know that somoen reading this will be thinking "those damm(insert people here) there as normal as graham norton on crystal meth"

and this is why nudists dont have teenager freinds because although at first you understand that they are there own people with a right to not wear clothes you end up thinking " WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE SO WEIRD" which puts an inbreakable judgment on them and therefore you avoid them even more.

All in all then the reason why people dont mix with there opposites is because a judgment is a mental substitiution for the people in question, and that judgement is what is soooo weird/wrong not the people themselves. If thats the case the only thing stopping teenagers being freinds with nudists, or goths with chavs etc, is there own stupid mind set.

the best way to beat that is to mock everyone ive been doing it for a while now and it works for me
