So... Where do I begin? How about this. I'll start from the beginning of this situation. I got an app for my phone that seemed really cool at the time. It allowed me to shoot live feed video from my phone. The main drawback being the fact that I would have to use their feed. Where this feed went and what kind of usability/storage did it have? I knew none of these questions. The other option I had was to sign up for a Flake Book account. Both options were unsettling to me. Go with an unknown service, designed by unknown engineers, sent to an unknown server, or sign up for the Fecal Book account. You know... A saner man would probably have said THIS APP IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT, and throw it out! Well, Brady gets to deal with what Brady has. I remained focused laser-like, ard, beneshiply, gog and magog, on having this damn app and getting it up and running A.S.A.P.!!! Stupidly, me thinks't, I signed up for Fart Book. In my defense, I used a junk e-mail account I possess, and went to work. I was almost immediately gripped by the fact, with what very little true info I filled in, people I know were being suggested to me as friends! I knew this from an intellectual standpoint, but it still amazes me the technology that is used today, to cull whatever minute information one enters in. Very quickly I started getting in contact with people I haven't seen or heard from in, in some cases 20 years. Frig Book had sunk it's claws in deep into that part of the brain that cares not of right or wrong, of kill or be killed, fuck or be fucked, The Lizard Brain, the Limbic System, the Amygdala, the Pons what have you. Against my better judgement I found myself digging deeper into this social networking phenomenon, most of the time feeling like a brain shower was direly in need!!!

Skip forward to today. I log on to this thing, this ever growing compulsion that goes against every fiber of my being, and start checking live feeds and friends updates. I come across a posting from one of those friends that states something to the effect and I'm going to paraphrase here... 'Attention everybody someone told me that everyone needs to go to their settings and open their block list. Type in Automator (something), and you'll get a list of people that you don't know that may be spying on you! Check and delete them.'I did some snooping and prodding and ascertained that this is the automation script that Frau Blooka uses to do its magic. I advised my friend of this and made some statements, half jokingly, half seriously that it would be very humorous to me if everybody did just that! It would have to be called Nobody Book! That's not really the crux of this tale and is of little consequence in itself. I went about my business for some time...
The compulsion came strongly to check in once again. I logged on looked around a bit and noticed something was missing... The post from my friend had disappeared, at which time I decided to send a text asking if she decided to take it down. I would if someone had given me a logical explanation of what that Automator script really did. Some time went by and I get the response: NO I DID NOT (paraphrasing again). Another textervation in sues, double checking that she's not joking. She's not and deadly serious about it. Angry's interest is piqued. A violation of the TOS!? You know, the thing NOBODY except me reads!! 9000 words of pure legalese and mind-numbing jargon isn't on the top of everyones best seller list I know, but DAMNED important if your going to use someones product, that most people are going to put ALL of their real, identifiable, and private information in and never think twice about! At the same time, GOD I can hardly believe I'm gonna say this, this company that is releasing software free for use, the right to ask for whatever rules it decides it wants, however grey or difficult to understand or stupid, to be followed. Hence the Terms of Service agreement that seems to even come with a fucking Happy Meal nowadays!! THAT WAS EXTREMELY HARD FOR ME TO GET OUT.
Now things really start rockin'! Friends start leaving posts about "Big Brother","free speech is dead", yada,yada,yada.. Of course I'm starting to have a blast!! I egg it on with some more quips! Pandemonium, I'm thinking. Dissension, unrest, revolt, armed rebellion DAMMIT!!!! YEEEHAAWW!


Then the dust in my mind settles a little, and reality sets in. This sort of thing happening in Fascist Book, is one of the many reasons I've stayed away for so long. I don't want to be spied on! I don't want to be categorized or pigeon-holed! I sure as Motherfucking Goddamn Ass-biting Skull-raping Dick-skeezin' DONT WANT ANYBODY TO THINK THAT THEY KNOW BETTER THAN I, WHAT I SHOULD SAY, OR DO,OR DRESS, OR EAT, OR THINK!!! So that's why I generally steer clear of that kind of shit. You don't like what I say? Don't read me. You don't like how I dress? Shut your mouth, turn around and go back to Walmart or 5-7-9, or Old Slavey and shop till your eye's bleed and everyone you look at speaks Chinese, 'cause you helped them buy our country by shopping where you do!!!!
The other thing... All of you know I'm not very fond of advertising, and that's the thing Fake Book does. It tries to sell you shit you don't need from people you don't know, made by mostly impoverished, malnourished people you probably care even less about, that helps asshole's like the pukes that facilitated our financial mess WE ARE STILL IN, that don't care not one iota for you or I!!
So the really sad lesson for me was this site is not truly about friends at all, for them! It's about an angle, a financial angle. How much money can be made off of friendship?? How much would you sell your kids for?? How much would it take you to offer your parents up for a bloodsport?? You think I jest. If I had one wish I'd wish people from a general standpoint would start caring about each other more than monetary gain. That's why I abhor these sorts of things, not necessarily the people who use the service, ignorance is bliss after all. I especially despise companies that now act as our censoring board, even if they wrote the damn program!
I guess I have to let the friends I've reunited with know how to get in touch with me, and bid a strange farewell to my social network experiment. So, something positive did come of this whole thing I guess... And see, you say Angry can't ever see the positive...
P.S. I never did use that app... Worthless piece of shit.
Holly Hobby, Care Bears, and red Jello and Cool Whip dreams too you all. And Don't the the FB's getcha!
