Here’s what I think: I think that Facebook status updates are abused by far too many people far too often. I mean, I am genuinely interested in getting to know people, but do I really need to know when you are showering? I think there is a limit. In fact, I think there should be facebook police that give people a fine for unnecessary status updates. Or how about a fine for too many status updates in one day. It would be kind of like a speeding ticket, except online. “Sir, you are currently travelling 50 in a 30 status update zone. That will be $200.”
Here’s what I think: I think that there are too many choices at fast food joints. The slowest part of “fast food” is waiting for people to decide what they want. Either people should be more decisive or fast food joints should have fewer choices. I guess I could learn patience too.
Here’s what I think: I think that people far too often say things digitally that they would never say in person; texting and emails mostly. There is something about not having to look the person in the eyes and saying something that gives people false confidence in themselves. Whether it’s a compliment or a criticism, if you can’t say it to the person’s face, you should question why you are saying it at all.
On that note: people, don’t flirt with someone over texting or email in a way that you would not do in person. In fact, if you want to flirt with someone, your best chance of success is in person. Every time. Yes, yes, I know I’m single right now, but I also know I’m right about this one. This is more of a “here’s what I know” post rather than a “here’s what I think” post. But I felt compelled to say it.
Here’s what I think: I think that if you don’t sweat when you work out, you have no business going to the gym. If you want to flex in a mirror, your washroom at home is free. If you want attention from that cute guy or girl, try talking to them. Again, talking is free. If you want people to see how good looking you are, hate to break it to you, but if you are in the gym or not, you still look the same. Just accept it and save your money; no need to buy a gym membership. If you want to check out people who are working out, you are a creep and getting fit is the last thing on your mind. Do us all a favour, save the gym for those of us who ACTUALLY want to use it. Because believe it or not, my gym membership was NOT free. Thank you.
Here’s what I think: I think that playing co-ed sports is a bad idea. I mean, seriously, how is a guy supposed to concentrate on the game when there is a smoking hot girl on the other team who has the ball. I mean, is he going to go up to her and steal the ball from her to impress her? And he can’t play hard against her because what if she gets hurt? I mean, what if the two of them go hard for the ball (playing soccer of course), kick the ball at the same time, causing the girl to sprain her ankle, start crying, and causing the guy to look like a complete bonehead, all the while crushing the guy’s hopes and dreams of ever getting the girl’s number? I will leave it up to your imagination whether or not I am speaking from personal experience on this one.
Here’s what I think: I think that the only way you are going to succeed in New Year’s resolution is by starting before New Year’s. The reason resolutions don’t work is because people don’t know what commitment is. Figure out commitment first and then figure out a resolution.
Here’s what I think: the weather is extremely interesting. I mean, you could spend hours just talking about different types and shapes of clouds. You could spend more hours just talking about the crazy storms and non-seasonal weather. Weather is extremely interesting. As such, it is a perfectly acceptable opening conversation piece.
Here’s what I think: if you have read this far, I am extremely impressed and a little encouraged as well. If you have not read this far, well, your loss.
Here’s what I think: Youtube is going to overtake TV soon in terms of time spent viewing. I think people are more interested in watching ridiculous 5 minute clips than the terrible sitcoms on lately. I enjoy Big Bang Theory, Simpsons, Sports and News. The rest is a waste of time. I for one would watch 5 minutes of youtube way before losing valuable brain cells to the likes of American Dad or NCIS. Also, I find it amazing how entertaining some commercials are. I would go on youtube and watch half an hour of old spice adds or Reebok “Terry Tate” adds before half the stud on TV any day.
Here’s what I think: Facebook’s days are numbered. It was an incredible fad, I will give it that. And, it has lasted for quite a while, but its days are numbered; especially considering the fact that it keeps changing the appearance and settings. Seriously, what is up with facebook messaging these days. I can hardly read a message from someone now without looking forever just to see where the conversation originated. And what is up with the security settings? Every month it seems some new adjustment has been made that alters my security settings so that anyone and everyone can have free reign over all my content. It’s bad enough having the top of the screen on each person’s profile detailed with: “Name... Home City... Current City... Status... Relationship status... Cell phone number... address... family... who you’re voting for... where you are right now” I’m quite surprised it doesn’t say, “Social Insurance Number... Credit Card information... Medical history.... When I will be back home... best times of day to be robbed and/or kidnapped...” But now with the bi-daily changes in security settings, who knows what’s next. Facebook’s days are numbered. At least in my books.
Here’s what I think: I’m glad you took the time to read this. I should do these more often. What do you think?
