The more days that pass - the more annoyed I become with the monotony associated with social networking. By social networking - I am basically talking about Facebook. There is a very simply reason why I have become more detached from it than ever before. It's sad because it does actual feature some very useful tools.
For example....birthdays. I am terrible about remembering birthday unless I jot it down in my annual planner. Facebook kindly reminds me of birthdays - assuming users input their true date of birth within their profiles. I appreciate that. Communication is another positive feature. There are two direct means of communicating - posting directly to another user's page or sending a message through Facebook. This comes in handy when the usual means of communication are not available. I am also appreciative of that.
The worst part about Facebook is the regurgitated shite.
...the endless memes
...the reply to this if you are a true friend posts
...the excessive abuse of the sharing feature
...the goddamn annoying game requests
...spreading badly coined terms..especially when it ends in -pocalypse.

...and everyone's favorite....the drama. Oh the sweet nectar of drama.
Basically, I see a metric fuck ton of thoughtless, mindless nothing. It reminds me a bit of a ten track play list on constant repeat. If I had to apply basic fundamental mathematical skills, I would say that at least seventy-five percent of Facebook posts consist of regurgitated shite.
I am by no means the Facebook Gestapo. I am the admin of not one but three Facebook accounts. That's right - my cat and dog have their own account. Everyone has their own personal page for a reason whether it be to have a 'voice', connect and communicate with friends, or harass the shit out of one another. I get the whole concept. I simply get tired of reading the same thing over and over and over and over again. Maybe it's convenience and laziness, but I see a sharp decline in free thinking some or most of the time.
That is all.
That is all.
