Facebook; If it says it there, it must be true.

i was inspired by recent conversations, and this news article, ::::, to write about the implications of Facebook.
****BEWARE THE RANT*****
How does one know when they are “offical” anymore? With most interactions on colleges being “casual”, whether or not both people see it that way, how can you tell? FACEBOOK. That is the answer. All of your friends read it, and pseudo-stalk you. Yes that statement is true, and you all know it. But it also gets far more confusing. Some people put “its complicated”, or “open relationship”. What is the point of that?
Facebook is a great medium to either simplify things, or it can also be used to expand something with a greater explanation. “Its complicated” does not do either. If its complicated, why don’t you take the time and figure out what is it, and stop confusing everyone else? Its basically saying you can’t make up your mind, but although you may want others to back off, you don’t want to push anyone away either. How does that make sense? i have no fucking clue, ask them.
“Open relationship”. Huh? If its an open relationship, why do you need to declare it? Its like declaring tax-free money. The point of an open relationship is that it doesn’t really mean anything. You can see other people, and thats fine. Why bring attention to the fact you can’t be in a closed relationship? Why let others know of something meaningless and temporary? Its like getting a little bruise on your arm and pointing it out to anyone who passes by. You want everyones’ attention, and want everyone to ask themselves questions. How long will it last? Will they fall in love and become official? If you are in an open relationship, you are what we call on the relationship ladder “being single”. Stop being attention whores.
However, despite all this, i check out the main news feed every time i log on, and see who is with whom, and what new pictures you have. I guess it all works then huh? Well anyway, i gotta go check facebook 12 more times before i go to bed, so bye!
