Oh snaps.

Welcome to the internets. Where most of you spend countless hours during the week. We get paid to sit in front of the computer and pretend to do work, but really, we're finding out what Lindsay Lohan had for breakfast and googling awkward pictures of cats. Here's a toast (a blog toast because drinking is NOT allowed during work...) to all of you 40 hours a week craftsmen. Because let's be honest, we are all craftsmen. Do you know how hard it is to quickly exit a facebook browser?

NATIONAL UNFRIEND DAY!!!



 Today is the day to weed out your friends.  No, not your real life friends (unless the token booger picker isn’t cutting it anymore) – Today is National Unfriend Day.  So here’s the deal.  Take a few minutes to delete the following types of people from your facebook:

The overzealous status updater.
Status Update:  I am going to make a salad!
Status Update:  Heading to the store!
Status Update:  Using the bathroom, brb.
WHO CARES!!!!  If you have that one person who is constantly updating their status every 3 minutes, delete them!  I don’t need to know what you’re having for dinner, what you wish you were having dinner, and how long you were in the bathroom after having your dinner.  Stop with the nonsense updates.  We don’t care.


Farmville + Mafia Wars
Oh dear.  You lost a cow?  And you need to borrow some of my hard earned peanuts to find them?  Well shit, I just gave my last peanut to save my life in this online Mafia War…
…UNFRIEND!



Totes in love…again
I’m not going to lie, I’ve been guilty of this.  If you look at my photos, it’s an online archive of everyone I’ve dated (whether for years or for a couple of weeks).  But what I’m NOT a fan of is the different person on the other end of “In a relationship with ____.”  Especially if it’s a new person every 2 weeks.  I understand that people have problems and they break up, but don’t blast this shit online.  It’s embarrassing!  I had a fb friend who went to Vegas for the weekend and got married on the whim.  Within hours his status was “In a relationship” to “Engaged” To “Married” then a week together it fizzled to “It’s complicated” to “Divorced” to “Single” and next week it will probably be “Fuck I should’ve signed a pre-nup with ___________.”

The only on facebook friend
The craziest part about facebook are the random friends.  You know exactly who these are.  They’re the ones that you would most likely never talk to in real life but when you do see them in real life, you totally know everything about them.  It’s completely awkward and both of you kind of stare at each other for a few minutes trying to figure how you know each other and once you’ve figured it out, it’s so embarrassing that you just turn your head quickly.  Ironically, what’s the first thing you do when you get home?  Look that person up on facebook! 

Today is the day to take all 1500 of your facebook friends and carefully examine them.  Weed them out one by one and make sure they’re up to par.  Remember kids – it’s about QUALITY, not QUANTITY.
