Let me preface this post by saying that this has nothing to do with expressing emotion on Facebook. Sometimes a cryptic lyric as a status really just feels good to put out there. We've all been there, I'm pretty sure we've all done it. At least I have. If you haven't, well... you're probably much better off than the rest of us, you pompous dick.
This post was actually first inspired by one of my Facebook friends, who for all intents and purposes we'll call Judy. Now, Judy is particularly annoying anyway. She likes attention. A LOT. She likes to lie and bullshit in order to get said attention. Frankly, people who know Judy well enough always know when she's making shit up. And I, being one of them, will gladly call her out on it at every opportunity.
One night, thanks to the NEW "I-CAN-SEE-EVERYTHING-EVERYONE-DOES-AT-ANY-FUCKING-MOMENT" Facebook (Touche, Zuckerberg), I saw Judy saw it fit to leave a big, long message on her boyfriend's Facebook wall about what a shitty boyfriend he is. Petty things too. Nothing life-altering or even relationship-altering. Just petty bullshit arguments that all couples tend to have now and again. Regardless, the post was the equivalent of about three paragraphs, if she had any knowledge of grammar or punctuation or even knew how to separate paragraphs properly.
My first thought was "Wow, he must've really pissed her off this time.."... which was immediately interrupted by my next thought; "Why the FUCK are you putting this on Facebook?!!". My answer to the latter is quite simple and was explained earlier in this post. Judy loves attention. She wants everyone to see how "poorly" she's treated, to gain everyone's pretend sympathy.
So I thought on it for a little while and realized how inappropriate it is to hash out relationship problems on Facebook where everyone can see. Obviously, I would think. I didn't think on it again until I saw another one of my Facebook friends do it to HER boyfriend. Then I thought, WHAT THE FUCK?! Is this how relationships and general communication (salute!) are actually happening now?! What's next? Is your boss gonna tell you you're getting promoted by poking you on your Facebook wall? Is your dog gonna tell you it needs to be walked through Facebook chat?
The long-winded point I'm trying to make here is to keep your relationship squabbles PRIVATE. Because first of all, it's nobody's business but yours.. and secondly NO ONE GIVES A FUCK. We all have our own relationship stuff to deal with and the last thing we need is to have to bear witness to someone else's.
And also, if I get another game request today, I'm going to lose my shit.
Thanks.
