FACEBOOK HASHTAGGING!

Every time I log to Facebook, I wish for more interesting posts. But sure enough, my news feed is flooded with private diaries : my head hurts, my foot hurts, my fingernail hurts, my inner soul hurts bla bla bla ... I ate this yesterday, and that the day before, and today I am not sure yet ... Gotta keep the mystery going, right?



But all of the above doesn't bother me that much anymore. It is the same people all the time, you get used to it. But here is what is bothering me so much lately: ######!

People seem to not be able to choose if they want to Facebook a picture of their early morning yoga or Instagram it, so they do both and all these hashtags are all over! I am not trying to be mean, but are you that worried that you won't get enough Hearts on Instagram that you need to post it on Facebook to get Likes as well? Kind of makes you look desperate for attention in my opinion.


I know what you guilty people will say: some people don't have Instagram so they check your Facebook  and vice versa ... Well I promise you those few people that are not hooked on both Facebook and Instagram will live even if they miss a few picture updates of you and your boyfriend's latest selfie, I promise. Pick either Facebook or Instagram, and stick to just one per picture. Please.

But if you really can't help yourself, could you at least go easy on those hashtags?  You don't need 25 hashtags for every picture ...

Also please stop inviting me to play Candy Crush, I am old school, I like to play real games like Monopoly and Dominos. Yeah I know I am not that cool. Sorry.

But I did upload beach pictures today to my Facebook. Apparently (according to a recent Facebook post I read) it is summer and if I didn't, people would think I have a miserable life and haven't been on vacation this year so here is a preview of the Paradise I visited two days ago:

MAUI 

What has been annoying you the most on a Facebook lately? It's ok if you want to say beach pictures or selfies ... I do not offend easily -:)

    I am not on facebook anymore, but a freind of mine had his parents, for the last three years, bitterly battle on facebook to the point they almost got divorced. Of course it was caused by evil facebook friends commenting on their marital problems (that they would not know about had they each not tried to publicly humiliate each other, and convict each other of being horrible spouses via the mighty court of popular opinion. In between fights were sexual over-shares proving their love. Yeah, parents that act like fucking teenagers on facebook for their kids (and thier kids' friends) to see and comment on. Then complain that people are all up in their business.

    Oh, and selfies, not one or two, but someone who takes their pic daily.

      Agreed! 13 year olds are expected to act like 13 year olds but adults in general, and especially parents should act their age, at least for Facebook purposes.

Joshua Tree: the perfect spot to DISCONNECT

Image
Joshua Tree has always been on my list and by always, I mean since last August when I moved to Cali and started mapping out mini adventures in my new home state. So I guess always might be an exaggeration, but I get a little anxious and impatient when it comes to traveling and exploring.  So after cancelling Joshua Tree in November because of an ear infection, and December being crazy busy, I was super hopeful for January. But my hopes were shattered, and Joshua Tree started to become more and more like a dream that would never come true.  Perhaps another person would have thought it wasn’t meant to be - but like i said before, when it comes to traveling, I am pretty tenacious. So finally on the last day of February, with much juggling of my work schedule and some crazy luck, I made it to Joshua Tree and woke up to this beautiful sunrise on the 1st day of March.  The perfect way to start the month, don’t you think?  We entered the park t...

Imagine dating your computer

Image
Saturday night I went to the theater and saw the movie " HER " by director Spike Jonze and I have to say, even though I liked the movie, it could have been better if someone had introduced us before hand. I could have made it better because we could have used stuff from my book . This is the part where you think I am super full of himself for saying that a Hollywood director should collaborate with me. You might even wonder: did she really write that and go back to read the paragraph again. Don't bother. I did. You didn't misread. But I promise I am not full of myself. I loved the movie. It was brilliant. If you don't know what I am talking about, here is a quick synopsis: a lonely almost divorced guy writes love letters for a living but cannot seem to communicate with the people around him. He then falls in love with his OS. Sadly OS is not some sort of code for Obnoxious Secretary, it is an operating system. The man falls in love with his computer, who ends ...

Rude or not?

A few weeks ago, a flight attendant working with me on a flight to India approached me and asked if she could ask me a personal question. "Sure," I replied. "Don't get me wrong, you are beautiful," she said. I remember thinking "wow it is starting really good - what will follow is going to be really bad." But it wasn't. She noticed I had acne and knew of a treatment to fix it. I laughed and told her to relax. Why would I be offended? I was thankful, and if you ever had acne, you can relate because you probably tried a million of creams and lotions, which all failed, so even a glimpse of  hope meant something. And that's exactly what Carmen gave me: HOPE. However when a stranger approached me yesterday with his business card and said to call him because he had something that would fix my skin, I was a little annoyed. I felt that it was out of place for a stranger to mention anything about my skin or anything else for that matter....
