Mark Zuckerberg, I have a bone to pick with you…why did you have to invent a website so compelling? A website that is such a black hole of time that I am a helpless victim with no choice but to sit and see what EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE 500 friends I have (you know, just my best friends) are doing right now! I mean, if I log off, I might miss that somebody I used to know/haven’t talked to in 10 years and probably won’t ever again but we’re such good Facebook friends!, posted a picture of what they ate for dinner! The horror!
Seriously, why do people post pictures of what they ate for dinner? If you really want me to know about it, drop some off – it is probably delicious!
Okay. In fairness, this really probably isn’t a problem that Mark is responsible for. Before there was Facebook there was undoubtably a different time-sucking website, though I am hard pressed to think of one right now. Or there was TV.
The point is, it is really a pain in the behind to focus. Really. Big. Pain.
I have been sitting at my computer for 25 minutes and so far I have read my favorite writing blog (but that’s legitimate, right?), caught up on Facebook and now, in an effort to really not open that document I have been working on for over a month now (we’re at odds right now so I want to give it the silent treatment and really teach it a lesson) I am actually writing a blog post – which almost NEVER happens anymore!
Can we say fear of commitment?
FEAR OF COMMITMENT!
Very good kids!
