We Are All Doomed By The Evolution of Facebook

Okay, so you are old. What's the cool thing to do? Of course, get a Facebook that's what everyone is doing these days. I mean why not look at pictures of your son taking a body shot off a random wannabe faked tan having bar skank.

Ever since Facebook has become open to everyone it has slowly declined in quality. Or at least that is one everyone always thinks. Now I will admit that a lot of the features that FB has come up with in the last couple years are a good thing. i.e. Status updates, feeds, and well, that's about it! (I'm not going to lie, I hated the News Feed and the Status updates when they came out, but now I enjoy them!)

I'm not going to be one of these giant doucheres (that's right, douchers) that are going to start a group "Petition for the old facebook back" what is that doing, you are just making an idiot out of yourself. I also hate when people join groups opposing Facebook becoming a pay site. There are some real stupid people out there. They are never going to make Facebook a pay site. Not gonna happen people. Do you know how much advertising that they would lose because of the loss of traffic.

I still have my facebook and probably will until the next best thing comes along. But so far it's outlasted myspace and friendster (whatever friendster was?). Twitter is starting to gain more popularity (btw here is my twitter page, follow me kids) and I'm starting to dig it. Not a lot of hoopla involved, pretty much just status updates all the time. Which is great because it's cool on twitter and I was starting to update the fb status just a little too much for everybody's taste.

I also hate, absolutely despise all the stupid applications. Okay you know and care nothing about farming in the real world. Stop building a farm on facebook. No one even cares. I also hate mafia wars, farkle, and poker apps. The only app that I kind of like is the Social Interview questions, don't ask me why but it is fun to answer random questions about your friends (even though I skip most of the questions because it is people who I met once or haven't spoken to in ages.) and usually my answers are sarcastic and contradictory.

So basically it's like this. It's never going back to strictly college kids (as much as I hated that change, I do like the fact that it's easier to talk to relatives.). It's never going to become a pay site. Petitions and groups requesting changes do not mean shit. I have had a facebook a long time and I have never seen a change taken back. It is so much different then when it started and for the most part I enjoy it. So the point basically is to stop bitching, it's better than Myspace.

I Hate The Cubs: Reasons

Here is a "Top 5 List" of why I hate the Chicago Cubs

5. Old style beer sucks! Who cares if "It's part of the experience" tastes like shit!!!

4. Throwing the baseball back, so your team got a homer hit against you and you claim this as a "cubs tradition" well I've been to ten other parks where they do the same.

3. The Goat Curse quit making excuses why your team sucks ass

2. Day Baseball does anything suck worse than sitting in the hot ass sun all day watching poor baseball!

1. THE FANS, there is no worse fans in baseball than Cubs fans. With no respect for opposing fans. They are dumb ass whining about how they never win anything but every single year is going to be "Their Year" shit just pisses me off to no end about how self indulging a person can be when they are terrible. That should be a contradiction, but no. I love the Reds as much as anybody but I'm not going to bad mouth your team just because my sucks.

In the spirit of baseball season!!!!

Life

Fred's facts of life are simple and a must to enjoy life. I giving you the rundown of ways to make life a little better.

1. Drink! Who says drinking doesn't solve problems. I'll give you one problem it does solve. Not being drunk. Who wants to go through life sober. That's boring and so are you if you don't drink. Have you ever been to a party and their was someone there not drinking. Who was the one having the least amount of fun.....That Guy!!! You know the guy sitting there choking down a Pepsi while you are playing a drinking game. He is always off in the background acting like he is texting on his phone. You know he is crying inside!!!

2. Be lazy when you can. I'm not saying move back in to your parents house and quit your job. I'm saying if you don't want to workout on Saturday, don't workout. If you want to have a beer and watch the game without feeling guilty, do it. Who gives a shit. There is only so much time in the day. There is also only so much time to nap also!

3. Sports. Watch sports and watch sports often. What better way to live life than through something else. Like a sports team. So you are a drunk lazy bastard (assuming you followed my first two post). Well watching sports makes you feel like part of a team (an you never even had to practice).

4. Do the work. Take this how you want but unless you win the lottery or were born into a lot of money. You are going to have to put in kind of work to get anywhere. Unless you are extremely lucky.

5. Enjoy the little things. If you don't do this you are going to have the most miserable life ever. The big things are few and far between, so if you don't enjoy the little things what is there to enjoy at all.

6. Sweat pants. That's right, MOTHER FUCKING SWEAT PANTS, do not doubt what comfort will do for you. Who needs jeans to go to the store, I sure don't, and you do not either.

7. Keep your friends close. Yea, I know, your friends can annoy you sometime. But so what. Who is going to bet there for you when you can't find your wallet because you once again slept at a house that you have never seen on a road you have never heard of. Your friends that's who. remember the "little things" it's easy to forgive the little things because the few and far between big things are clutch when you need them the most.

8. If you get a boyfriend/girlfriend don't forget about your friends. This is real fucking annoying when your buddy that used to hang out with you once or twice a week won't even return your calls. I also think it's funny when they become "we or we're" instead of me or I. You know what I mean; "Hey man, wanna go grab a beer?" "Na I think that we're staying in tonight." Lame.

9. Don't take life too seriously. If you go through life too seriously you are just going to be one pissed off son of a bitch. No lie, if you don't have a sense of humor people won't like you, and the ones that do, will most likely talk about you behind your back.

10. Do not judge people until you understand people. Except goths, punks, and people different than you. But seriously, don't knock it until you tried it. I have tried some things that I used to think looked stupid. So just keep an open mind.

I by no means an encouraging full alcoholism and extreme laziness. Just a couple suggestions to make life better.

You have no Idea what just started!

Okay, so I am starting this blog on here and most of you are probably wondering. Hey, What's the blog going to be about Fred? Well to tell you the truth, I don't really know. Knowing me I will talk about sports a lot and some about music. For those of you who truly know me know that I like to speak my mind on whatever subject comes to mind. So hopefully we will have fun with it and you will all take heed to what I am saying and keep your own wrong opinions to yourselves.

Look in the next week or so for postings, I've got some idea's I'd just like to throw out there!!!!
