ok, so I seriously need help. why did I ever join facebook in the first place? I thought it was going to be a cool place to hook up with old friends from college and high school, but it ends up that 90% of what people post is rubbish. do I really need to know you ate two (TWO!) double dipped chocolate cookies for a snack at 2.34 PM before walking your porcupine who is allergic to diesel fuel....or that you are sleepy tired and grateful for your children who remind you how lovely you are, even after you just rode 14 miles in the rain to return an overdue library book?

why do I need to know you love the military, hate a god that doesn't exist, collect blue cows in farmtown, or have a gangsta name of raphael? If I never asked you in person, chances are I won't care even now.

from other facebook users, do you guys just roll your eyes when reading the rubbish, or are you one who likes the voyeurs spying on your trivial pronouncements? I guess it is no different than the non stop crap I post on here, so I'll go to bed now. After a miller light, feeding my cats, and running 36 miles in icy rain, all before my road rage takes over. have a great night folks.

Dude, you can hide the stuff you don't like. Scroll over the right-hand side of the quiz, baby diaper, ohio state, hangover, need-to-take-a-run-but-don't-want-to, climbing, etc. update and a 'hide' option will appear. I discovered this about four or five months ago and it actually made facebook tolerable again.

And check this out. It is dead on.

I ignore most of it. It's just like real life (most people spew crap you don't care about or doesn't apply to you) only a little bit better since you can filter out more of the crap you don't want to read. And no Kipp, we don't need to know you sent the blue problem.

yeah, I check it about once every two weeks and nothing that really benefits me is ever there.

Facebook? What's a Facebook?

...hmmmm, maybe I should be tweeting about this post...

Much like this place, if you want, it is easy to remove your facebook account. Kinda like "don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out" sorta thing.

Yup, easy to hide all the useless updates, but it kills me sometimes to know how dumb peoply I used think were ordinary are. but at least its crap tied to people you know, unlike myspace or twitter which is a bunch of crap tied to random and even more annoying screen names.
