Facebook is charging!!

Dear friends,

I am surprised at some peoples stupidity...wait let me back up a little bit. I should address one thing before I make fun of people. Happy 4th of July yesterday. Nothing says I love my country like a bunch of fireworks. That, beer, and bad decisions. I spent my 4th of July with friends, and we had a small party/BBQ, it was quite entertaining. Anyway enough about me. I have come to discuss some things that I feel are important to discuss, trust me I wouldn't waste my time writing about things that I don't feel are important. A long time ago on a website far far away. There was a guy named Tom. Tom was a creator of a website that, for a while, was taking over social networking as we knew it. During this time people repeatedly kept sending me messages that Myspace was going to start charging for profiles unless you went into a dark cave and got a dragon egg and sent it to Tom at the Myspace offices...or something like that. Anyway, it was obvious to me that this was a scam, but unfortunately a lot of people seem to lack the intelligence to see through these types of things. It was also around this time that I found out that I can't really trust anything that anyone says, because chances are they are full of a four letter word, this can be any word of your choosing for these purposes. Anyway, Tom sent messages to everyone on Myspace assuring that there was no way that he was going to charge people for Hisspace, haha that's funny, but people kept sending me those same chain messages. Why do I bring this up you ask? Well I will tell you. Yesterday, or a couple of days ago...it's not really important, I saw someone post on their wall that facebook is going to start charging for profiles. Some times I wonder if people were made just for the sole purpose of annoying me. I am sorry if this is going to offend you, but honestly you deserve to be offended if you are this big of an idiot! First of all, if facebook was going to start charging you, wouldn't there be some kind of message when you logged in at the top of the screen that says "Hey, starting on this date we are gonna start charging." There wouldn't be a message cycling around through a bunch of random people about it telling you to do some ridiculous thing. Secondly, facebook is probably one of the richest companies in the world. Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history, there is no way that he would start charging for something that he is making that much money from. Thirdly, the money comes from advertising and investors. Have you noticed that when you download an app there are sometimes 2 options, you can buy it for $.99 or you can get the free version with the annoying ads in it. Either way they are making money. Same basic concept. I think I have vented enough about that, if you still don't understand this concept I have a shovel and a very large garden in the back yard in which I will bury you. The world could deal with less morons, and I would be proud to do my part in getting rid of some of them.

Speaking of facebook, what is the deal with people that don't have a profile? Get off your high horse and join the rest of the world. It is really difficult to facebook stalk you if you don't have a facebook. Oh, and if you think it is creepy that people facebook stalk, you should watch the movie The Social Network, because that is pretty much what facebook was made for. Although, that is not only what facebook is used for now. You can have your profile settings so that no one can see your profile, that is fine with me...I can stalk you in real life, but I need to know you exist, and the only way I can do that is if you have a facebook. To be blunt, you are pretty much dead to me and to the rest of the world if you don't have a facebook profile. That is how everything is done now. Party invites, wedding invites, more party invites, what people are doing, where they are, party invites. Are you getting the picture? You are literally socially dead if you don't have a facebook. Even if you have one and you don't check it, it still gives the illusion that you are on there, but no one will even think of you if you aren't, and you will most likely die alone with a bunch of cats...that probably have a facebook page. Don't give the excuse that you are gonna waste a bunch of time on it, that is your fault, learn to control yourself if you have time issues. I am not talking about old people here, old people can die, they don't need facebooks. I think there should be an age restriction on facebook honestly, I don't want my grandma looking at everything I am doing. Actually, I wouldn't be worried about that, everyone over 45 in my family doesn't even know how to open a web browser, not to mention figure out how facebook works. My point is that facebook is how you are social now, if you are a social person, you need a facebook. Either for the betterment of yourself or for everyone else. Don't be selfish, don't make excuses, don't be old and technologically in-advanced. Get a facebook.

  1. Jake, you kill me. Just don't bury me in Grandpa's backyard. I like how you say you don't want your grandma seeing everything you do on Facebook -- since both your grandmas are DEAD. As such, they don't need Facebook to see everything you do -- they can spirit stalk you.
