I apologise for the interruption in my posting of a blog or anything to let you all know that I am at least breathing, while at times it seems, even I question what I am doing and why. I can at least assure you all that I am in fact breathing and here! TA DA (cue trumpets) I will address the riots in London and the inexcusable behaviour of the population as a whole EVERYWHERE that has led to such situations to even happen. However, I want to address the situation and buzz that is closest to my angry chair at the moment FACEBOOK!
It is NO secret that I have a love hate with Facebook, I have for years now, NOW it is just pure disgust...think of that as you will. I am not impressed with being overly anything, especially overly censored or overly controlled, Facebook morphed into "Big Brother" and "The Man" in a single fusion over night! No warning, no, hey, we're going to be that creepy guy that watches your EVERY MOVE for however long, takes notes, and knows entirely too much about you, then stalks you oh and I mean scary stalks you. Like a controlling partner, everything needs to pass through them for approval and you can only have it their way or no way. Not doing it
Now, creepy guy was NOT always creepy, he used to be really cool, someone that was pretty chill and helped you network and meet people. He even helped you with business and love connections, find long lost friends, and people you thought you may never see again. Facebook was then totally great, something and someone you began to rely on because let’s face it MySpace was loaded with teens, tweens and no one you could really connect with by this point. Hence you breaking up with him to hang out with Facebook to begin with, now you're really regretting your decision. TOTALLY second guessing yourself, wondering what happened, and why you even trusted this asshat to begin with. Let's face it, Facebook has turned into a total controlling douche and you just want out, the only problem is like any "abusive" relationship you've backed yourself into a corner and you have nowhere else to go. Sure you do, what did any of us do before Facebook, MySpace and Friendster? Don't worry I don't remember either, I just know that I got by and I was fine.
I use Facebook for networking; I am mainly a comic by choice and by trade, and also because it's what suits me best in life. Secondly, I write. I write a variety of things, starting with my own material as a way to vent, and bring awareness of a current situation or to digest a personal situation. Bringing to light current situations allows me to make fun of, bring to light and educate in my own way and also diffuse any tension over the situation. If it’s a personal situation I just make fun of it to help me heal, in my own way, it does help, and sometimes, in that way laughter IS the best medicine. Then there are other ways I choose as to vent, I mean write well, whether it be in blog form or poetry (yes, poems don't be shocked) I've even written a children's book for my niece and nephew. The point of it is that I have a lot going on and if I don't get it out, my head may very well explode and that may not be good for anyone!
The one thing I really liked about Facebook was the ability to control who could see what, at all times, it was a set it and forget it type deal. Now you have to set it which each post. NIGHTMARE! I have a foul mouth; I am trying to clean it up for this blog post because I would like this particular blog to reach a wider audience than what it normally would. But I will say this, because I cannot, NOT say it.... WHAT THE FUCK FACEBOOK?!?! Why are you being the creepy guy that follows us out to the car and dry f*cks us because you can?!.....what gives you the right? WHAT signals were we throwing out that MADE you even think this was even close to all right?Oh that's right we weren't and the only correct answer you can tell us is none! Because, anything else is wrong.
So Facebook, you blew it, I have no idea why you are ignoring the OVER 4.4 million complaints asking to change the format back and why and all of the questions along those lines. The why? Who can we contact? How can we do this? Why can't I do that? All ignored. ABSOLUTE RUBBISH! There is NO Reason and as ONE person pointed out any legitimate business gives contact info and or at the very least an email. There Facebook has nothing like this listed. If you advertise with them, I ask you to stop, so with a more legitimate outfit that won't promise one thing and do another. I knew a person like that once and he much like you, wrote his own exit, I have to say one of the stupidest but truest statement or saying if you will has got to be “If it isn’t broken don’t fix it!”
Sadly and sickly and QUITE grotesquely I can and will compare it to the violation of The United States Constitution’s Right To Privacy AS STATED in the Constitutional Bill of Rights, itself, better known as the Third Amendment or Right To Privacy “Some Supreme Court justices have occasionally invoked the Third Amendment when seeking to establish a base for the right to privacy” So now I ask you all WHY is Facebook above the law? Here is some history to the mystery in case you are/were not aware the United States Bill of Rights were an Adaptation from The English Bill of Rights which came to pass in their own right between 1688 and 1689. “We the people” are not sheep, we are not cattle, and it is sad that we are allowing people to treat us as such. So send your emails, get on the phones, text away, Google the shit out of these places, knock on doors, start petitions, send out tweets, but for fucksake…..DON’T JUST SIT THERE TAKING IT! I don’t care what country you’re in, you have a voice, so USE IT! If you can’t email me and I’ll do it for you, but this latest stunt is absolutely the closest I’ve been to being date-raped and rufied then thrown into a cult in YEARS!!!! So HEY creepy guy……WE SEE YOU…..we’ve got your plate numbers…..don’t even think you’re getting away with this this time, you can be a playground bully to the little one’s but some of us actually have our own minds still OH and a stage……..OOPS!
SHAME ON YOU FACEBOOK!
That’s all for now, but I assure you I am far from done! Love and bitterness! xx -hh
