Snarks and Ladders

My blogging about my real life has been severely impacted by Facebook and Twitter.  For some reason, I spend more of my time yammering on at those two places than I ever could possibly spend blogging.  I don’t know if it’s a misguided thought that the people on those forums actually care, that it is easier, or that I just like playing FarmTown… but Facebook has killed my blogging!  Damn you Facebook!

So, here is what I propose to do about the situation

1.  Sabotage Facebook

I am going to infiltrate the Facebook headquarters (probably a really rich guys basement filled with servers and 14 year olds hitting on each other), and let loose a large number of gerbils in the room.  These gerbils will then bite and scare the 14 year olds.  The 14 year olds will run around scared, and probably trip on a server.  At least one of them will break a leg.  their parents will then sue the Facebook owner dude for all he is worth.  Facebook will shut down, and I will cry for days because I have no one to play FarmTown with.

…. wait.  That’s a really bad idea.  No FarmTown?  Besides, I can’t afford that many gerbils.

2.  Delete all my friends off Facebook.

Realistically, most of my friends on Facebook piss me off anyway.  Between the hundredmillionzilliontrillion quizzes, the constant stream of quotes-as-statuses from The Princess Bride, and the woe-is-me mourning that is the single sadsacks… it just pisses me off to be honest!  So, who needs all those friends anyhow?  No friends = no putting crap on Facebook!

… but then again… who would I play FarmTown with?

3.  Quit Blogging.

But, but… I like blogging!  Besides, I just paid my $10 to keep my domain name!  I can’t throw that away, that’s like… 2 coffees!

4.  Shrug helplessly and wait for myself to not suck.

In other words, business as usual.

In things which are totally not business as usual, and which make me jealous beyond ALL imagining and are totally awesome and squeeworthy…

TJ and Phil got engaged.  You may not know who they are (although, if you are reading the lameness which is me, no doubt you should be reading the awesomeness which is TJ).  Not only did they get engaged, but they got engaged in the most awesome manner ever.  Grats guys!
