Updates

As a society we are way too excited to update people with our lives. We feel the need to go out of our way to tell people what we're up to or what is going on with our lives. What we need to figure out soon is that nobody gives a shit.

A guy my parents were kind of friends with back in the day used to make a fucking bi-yearly newsletter telling us all about his job, his wife, the kids, and their dogs. WHY? I have enough useless bathrrom reading, it's called the Pennysaver.

The newest way of constantly updating people is on social networks like Facebook. You can change your status whenever you want and let people know what is going on. This has gotten way out of hand.

I know people that feel the need to change their status at least 4 times a day. "I am in the shower." "I am going to drop my coat at the dry cleaners." "Going to go to happy hour with the girls. LOL. WASTED!" Do these people really think we give two shits? Am I sitting at my computer saying "oh so the girls are going to the bar to get wasted. Why that is funny!" NO!

If you are going to give somebody an update, make sure they ask for it first. If not, you better make it something interesting like: a midget is running around in a giraffe costume on your lawn. Then I'll care.
