Social Media and so called "friends" rant

[Capt. Mac.]

PJ…

Would you be my friend?

( I could use 100 bucks and I may be moving to “The Bonnie Jean” soon.)

Its all crap. Madison Ave. tells us we need “likes” How cool you will be if you can text 24/7

Now I have to admit, that from a business stand point, some social media might make for good free advertising. But on a personal level? I have over 5,000 past students, a few friends and family. They all have my email.

GOOD post

Opppssss…. Almost forgot.

I hope all the Tweet-ists and Facers have a barn full of carrier pigeons. They will need them post SHTF.

That’s hilarious… Pigeons post shtf. That’s the original tweet right.

I don’t think all those social media websites are for keeping up with friends. It’s more about the whole “look at me!”

[Capt. Mac.]

Well… Echo… Thank You.
Now that I think about what you just said.
It may be “Look at me in “this time frame”

My parents thought electric Rock&Roll was the devil reincarnate. I think Rap music is about time the same.

In my day; if you wanted to get noticed, you beat the S*** out of some one, was a sports jock, or ate 2 hits of LSD on the way to school. I wonder what my great-grand father (immigrant from Prussia) would have thought of Elvis or face book?

TO PJ………..So folks post pictures now to get noticed. . The worst part is they don’t have be healthy (or drug resistant). Just thumb enriched.

As I tried to state above. Its Madison Ave. that I despise the most. Each year they tell me what I MUST want. This year its TWITFACE. I shutter to think of the marrow.

I’ll keep my pigeons. TYVM.

PS….. I never have beat the S*** out of anyone, and am/was Jock and Drug-less.

Preaching to the choir on this one. I have a pathological hatred of social media, myself.

[Capt. Mac.]
