My Daily Drama – Women Daily Drama Only!

Facebook!! What can you say about Facebook?  Well, whatever you say, I guess you should say it in the What’s on your mind box.  Our lives have been consumed by a two-syllable word.  We log in at work; we check it on our phones. How do we have so much time?  Do we really need to update our status that badly?

Facebook has replaced good old conversation and being personal.  It’s a little weird you have to friend request someone, wait for them to accept you, because they can control how much you see if you are not their friend.  Once you have been confirmed, you can comment on their status, and friends of their friends can comment on your comment.  Once in, you can look at your friends’ friends.  You can enter the lives of people you do not know just by being confirmed by your friend.   Beware, there is also a lot of uncomfortable situations with Facebook, like waiting to be confirmed, or if your boss, or worse your parents friend requests you?  EESH!!!! What is the correct Facebook etiquette, if someone confirms you and never speaks to you on Facebook?  This is an additional way to be rejected.

It doesn’t stop there, on Facebook people start requesting that you become fans of different things; they send you gifts and you have to earn points to send them gifts.   Then there are games that are a part of the whole Facebook world.  Farmville, Cafeworld, Fishville just to name a few.  All of a sudden we are like junkies trying to harvest our crops and save our virtual food.  Embarrassment and shyness goes out the window, all kinds of people are asking for things for their farm.  You can get gifts for your farm, and have the most ridiculous things on your farm, a Santa’s workshop, really?  In café world there are no child labor laws, my husband has my ten-year old daughter and my eight-year old nephew waiting tables in his café without taking a break!!!

If you run out of wireless minutes and you are not able to text, you can break-up, by simply changing your status.  You never have to hear from that person again because you can have all of your friends block them.  You can invite people to a function without even speaking to them.  Employers can check to see what kind of people work for them by looking on Facebook.  Don’t call in sick and upload a picture of yourself at the beach with a Corona at 11:30, it’s not gonna be ok when you get back to work.

The possibilities are endless with Facebook.  How much valuable time are we loosing though by not interacting with people around us.  I wonder what would happen to each of us if we didn’t Facebook for an entire day?
