Facebook Madness

Facebook Madness

I know that plenty of people have blogged about facebook and everyone has opinions about our little social network.  Now it is my turn to add a little of my own “two cents.”

I am continually humored by the way a website has come to shift the dynamics of our social interaction.  The research that goes into checking out a “potential” lover or the drama of the  “status” change.  The comedy and tragedy of it all.  What is this website doing to us–mentally, emotionally, physically????  Sucking our time, monopolizing our thoughts and creating alot of drama while doing its part to keep us connected and reconnecting us with those that we lost along the way.  This is yet another perfect depiction of the balance of life.   

I must share one story, and my inspiration for this post, before signing off on the subject of facebook.  I recently heard from friend who met a man with whom she shared a wild and crazy romance.  A week into it she saw on his facebook page that he had a girlfriend and was updating pictures of the two of them together.  Of course he forgot to mention this small detail and when she approached him about the subject, he de-friended her on facebook!!  HOW FREEKING COMICAL IS THAT?  Now, the situation is by no means comical and that is not what I am saying.  What I mean by this is: 1) He was the one that was cheating on his girlfriend, and 2) He was the one misleading my friend!  And HE de-friends HER!  Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
