Sometimes, I really, really hate Facebook.

Today is such a day.


Last night, I stayed up too late after drinking a bucket of coke during Tron. Today I am not my peaky best. So I follow a relatively benign link and end up inadvertently viewing the profiles of not one but two people I'd really prefer not to think about most of the time, let alone today of all things.


Do we need it? Constant information saturation, the melange of interconnected bollocks? I know it's pretty much a cyberpunk wet dream, total connectivity, global village rah rah rah. But fuck, my brainspace could use a break from knowing shit, once in a while.


He wrote, on his blog on the internet.


Yes, yes, yes, Juicy, salty slabs of delicious irony.


I'm a junky for the this information hyperload - the ready access to trivia, gossip, argument, opinion, hype, anti-hype, fucking you-tube videos of cats riding turtles, the lot. I have been lured in thoroughly. But fuck! Where's the nanny state when you need it? I don't need protection from seeing the accumulated piles of Zombies in Left 4 Dead 2. I need to be protected from pictures of my ex having fun.


I return you to your day. Hypocrite Out!
