It's a family affair!!!

I finally found a use for facebook! I have become addicted to Mafia Wars. Now the only people I want to talk to or hear from are the people in my family...I mean mi familia. By the way, I had to delete kindergarten video boy. His dog just died and while I can relate to his pain, I really didn't need to see the subsequent 50 weepy posts about love lost. Pet or otherwise. I gotta go now. Mafia Wars was down for some emergency work on the server so I need to go back and see if I have been attacked by any rival thugs and need to retaliate, Ciao'

Update

The kindergarten videos have now reached 5. Yes that's right I said 5! OMG why do I keep going back!? I guess I keep hoping that I will find something useful or interesting coming from it, but I am quickly losing any hope whatsoever.

Vast Wasteland

In 1961 Newton Minnow referred to television as a "vast wasteland"! I wonder what he would say about the internet? While he did say that when television was good there was nothing better but just that the majority of it was a vast wasteland. I feel the same about the internet. Maybe it's just because I was just on facebook and was amazed by the overabundance of totally useless drivel that some people feel the need to share with the rest of the world. I guess you could include the drivel I am pumping out right now.
Don't get me wrong, I think the internet has become an invaluable tool in regards to the availability of information but it has also become a wasteland of such vast proportions that I think that Mr. Minnow would agree that it dwarfs the wasteland that is television(200 channels and nothing on).
I suppose my disenchantment with facebook is my own fault since I can't bring myself to deny most friend requests feeling that I don't want to offend anybody that wants to be my friend but what I am realizing is the reason why I couldn't stand half of these people in high school. I mean do I really give a shit that you prefer prefer Coke over Pepsi and seriously.....I haven't seen your ass in over 20 years I really don't need to see video of you kids first day of kindergarten!! Especially in two parts posted 10 minutes apart!!!
Ok Ok I guess I have vented enough for now. Gotta go check my facebook account.
