i am thankful that "my team" is playing Green Bay Thursday. that means 40,000 people will come in from Wisconsin and we won't be blackout-ed. it sounds fun to say "ha, I don't have to watch them, but you do!"

but in reality, it is sort of depressing.

Who mentioned God? Dude, lately you seem to be almost as fixated on religion as Spanky is on free trade (oops, I meant "Free Trade"), bringing up your views on it regardless of the topic under discussion.

Were you dumped by Carrie Prejean recently? Trapped in a room with a TV playing a continuous loop of "Touched By An Angel" re-runs?

RT has my back on this one, and she's all nicey-nice like you.

Pluck you, buddy.

That you ended the meeting in a hotel room.

Do the dead care more about poetry than Facebook? Or is puplic expression of grief only acceptable when it scans well?

Good fucking grief (npi). Nobody could possibly be as over-the-top nice as you seem to be.

Sure. In some cases it may help people deal with their feelings of loss. But, like almost everything else posted on facebook, it's done for attention. From the people who post scripture constantly (maybe they are working through problematic feelings they are having with their faith) to the people who post that they like cupcakes (maybe it helps them deal with their cravings and is a major reason for their possible improvements in diet and therefore health), you can find a reason to justify any of it. So, I guess my question is, how much could a halfass post on facebook about someone who died possibly help one deal with the loss of a friend? I bet there are some people it may actually make feel really better. But if that's true, then I'm making fun of those people...because they're using facebook to work through their feelings of loss. Good God, man.

Sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays.

Anyway, I no longer understand your point. Are you complaining about stupid people and the stupid things they do and say in general on Facebook? Or just complaining about this particular aspect of what they do and say on Facebook? I only go on Facebook to check on how much happier my ex-girlfriend seems to be now that Kip and Muffy are in dressage classes.

Time for dessert. Nothing like a hungry French woman.

Knock on wood, I haven't had to deal with this yet, but if I had to post on the dead wall, it'd be to show my sympathy and support for the family, and that's about it. I am getting pretty sick at the look at me, look at me posts, even though I'm always guilty of it as well.

It turns out that facebook friending the cracker from high school is one of the more entertaining things I've done recently.
