I must preface this commentary by saying that there are those whom I love dearly that I am about to describe and despite the tirade, I will continue to love them. I am going to talk about facebook. Ok, don't groan. One of my biggest pet peeves about facebook is that there are entirely too many people who use facebook for nothing more than a platform to promote pictures, sayings, quotes, etc. that someone else has written. It is not the occasional sharing of a true pearl of which I speak, but rather the ones to whom I refer that NEVER have anything of any substance to say on their own. I have shared stories sometimes and I have shared sayings, and I have shared pictures that I felt were significant. I have also posted my own thoughts and my own opinions about any number of subjects; thoughts that I compiled into grammatically acceptable blurbs authored strictly by myself. Do these folks lead such boring and meaningless lives that all they can find to post is what someone else has written or composed? Facebook would be infinitely more interesting and fun to read if folks would write about what is on their minds or what is happening around them, no matter how piteous the grammar or spelling. At least it would be original. But then, I am a crabby old bitch sometimes.
