STATUS UPDATES

Just like 99 percent of the people on Facebook right now, I am obsessed with people updating their status. I do it way too often and the majority of the times I do it lately, I'm plugging this blog (as if enough people care about my status enough to go to this site). You have a wide variety of groups who update. You have those who don't update a lot and when they do, they feel the need to be very specific. Example:

"So&So is heading out to lunch at Fridays with so and so and then heading to the doctors at 2 for a check up and then maybe home to make [insert meal here] for [insert stupid nickname for their loved one] and then American Idol at 8 before Biggest loser comes on."

I really don't think anyone needs that much of an update. Chances are the only person who needs to know that much detail is yourself. Here's an update you can use. "So&So is about to jump in the tub with a few select electronics!"

I also love the people who are trying to send messages to others but wont actually say anything to those peoples faces. Such as:

"So&So cant believe some people can be so immature. Way to ruin something good"

This is the person informing all of us their distain for people who refuse to grow up which possibly means that someone did something to this person enough that they felt like scolding them in front of all their cyber friends. You know the majority of the persons friends have no idea what they are talking about, but a select few know exactly who they are talking about. Its like we get sucked back to junior high when were on Facebook.

You have the quote people too. Those who find a certain line from a movie hilarious enough to use it. I am definitely one of these people. It started when I would use AIM and put up away messages. Thats pretty much what status updates now are. They are you're away message to the world. Thats why you see people who put up an update such as:

"So&So is off for the night and bored. Hit me up"

This usually means the person really has no friends. If they had friends, their friends would know 

the person had the night off. Therefore, if anyone really wanted to hang with the person, they

would contact them via telephone or whatnot. This is a person crying for help. They will most likely

end up sitting at home, alone, watching pornography, drinking hard liquor and passing out way too

early. Just like my Saturdays.

But really, Im as much an offender as anyone else, but do you blame me? Why not be constantly

updated on what your friend from 7th grade that you don't talk to anymore is doing for the evening?

On a side note, if you're around this Friday, Jan 30th, come to Great Scotts in Allston and check out

my buddy Steve doing stand up around 7pm. He is hilarious and a total douche.
