Days ago, I came to terms with the fact that recent Facebook changes have made me an easy stalker target. That said, I’ve only had one person make a weird she’s-obviously-checking-my-profile-waaaaay-too-much type of stalker-ish comment to me since everything took place. I was like, O.K. cool. I can deal with one pressed clown. That’s nothing.
Then, Facebook decided to go and make even more changes. Before I even got around to adjusting my privacy settings, I had to revise my strategy just days later! I even heard that you’ll soon be able to see who unfriended you, in real-time.
Personally, seeing who unfriended me is not really a big deal. I can usually see that type of thing coming. Besides, If someone unfriends me and I don’t notice on my own, then clearly, I did not care very much to begin with. Unfortunately, most people do not have skin as thick as mine. I am already expecting to witness all kinds of butt-hurt status updates attacking people who can’t even see them anymore since they stopped giving a sh*t around the precise moment they hit the unfollow button.
I have also discovered that a number of my friends subscribe to the feeds of strippers, urban booty models and former VH1 reality chicks. I don’t really have a problem with this. I have befriended people from all walks of life; this includes walks which require clear heels. I have yet to subscribe to any of their Facebook feeds, but you never know.
Besides, I cannot judge anyone since the only feed I’m subscribed to belongs to Tom from Myspace. I’m just saying; Tom was my first friend when I signed up for Myspace. The man embraced EVERYONE! The least I can do is return the favor. Tom, thank you for being a friend. Traveled down the road and back again. My heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant.
…And if you threw a party…
Just kidding. I’m not really going to serenade another man with the Golden Girls theme. But just for the record, I know every word to that song, and I’ll slap the Blanche Devereaux sh*t out you in defense of that show! I’m completely secure enough in my manhood to fight a n*gga over the Golden Girls.
See what y’all made me do? I’m totally off topic now. The new Facebook is taking my Attention Deficit Disorder to new levels. That scrolling wall of what the f*ck are you doing this very instant on the upper right has wreaked havoc on my focus! I had another joke to put here, but I can’t even remember it now because “Sasha Shaheen commented on Caroline Menna’s post on Sasha Shaheen’s wall” according the the words running down the side of my screen, and deciding whether to be nosy or not threw me off my damn sh*t.
I think that if I use Facebook in moderation, I’ll be able to handle the information overload. In the meantime, I’m going to keep exploring all of these new features so that I can find the most effective strategy to avoid making an ass of myself on that site.

I know the EXTENDED theme song, word for word. I know I sing it once a week. I see an accapella Karaoke takeover in your near future. LOL
Nice!!! I’ve never even heard the extended version *headed to YouTube*
“I have befriended people from all walks of life; this includes walks which require clear heels.”
Gold.
Glad you appreciate that line. A return trip to Stadium may be in order, good sir!
more reasons to be glad I’ve never had a Facebook page.
It’s not for everybody. A half-billion people will probably disagree LOL, but it’s good to know you’re not a follower!
Funny how the pic came from Tom of Myspace. I guess he will find a way to hate on facebook and infect it with his bad business
Tom actually has a few posts about how much he loves Facebook and how he has been on there since 2005. He even went on record as saying he dislikes all the changes that happened to Myspace after he sold it for more than it was worth. I honestly don’t think he’s a hater. If anything, he’s kinda riding Zuckerberg’s sack pretty hard in a couple of the posts!
Ha Ha Leon I hadn’t been on Facebook for a month just hadn’t had the time plus I know I will have alot of work to do on my farm (gotta love farmville) now that you’ve informed me of all these upgrades and pure hilarious antics I will make sure to friend you!!!! LOL have a great week.
Thanks, you too! Just don’t try to invite me to play Farmville an we’re good ;-)
