Facebook: To "like," or not to "like," that is the question...

It's funny; just two years ago, I was still hooked on Facebook and couldn't find a reason to join Twitter. Now, since I found a reason to join the social networking site for business reasons, I'm hooked on Twitter and am getting rather burned out with regard to Facebook. One of the reasons for this burn out is the click-like-if-you-agree posts. These posts appear to be ubiquitous, obvious, and suspicious. They're seemingly everywhere on the newsfeed, only an incredibly odd or sick individual wouldn't agree with them, and due to this, it leaves one (me in this case) to wonder if they're some kind of scam.

Here are just a few (exaggerated) examples of such posts:

- "I love my mom! Click like if you love yours too!"

- "It sucks when soldiers die in war! Click like if you agree!"

- "Cancer sucks! Click like if you think it sucks also!"

Well, there's a reason why these posts are so ubiquitous and obvious - it is indeed a scam, as can be read about here: http://daylandoes.com/facebook-like-scams/

In any case, I thought I'd have a little fun with these ridiculously obvious-to-like posts and share a few of my own:

- "I hate it when, in the morning, you wake up hung over and in bed with your naked first cousin and her boyfriend, Bubba! Click like if you agree!"

- "Of all the ways I don't want to go, I don't want to die in a fire as I'm teaching my Boy Scout troop how to roast marshmallows! Click like if you don't want to die that way either!"

- "If you think it'd suck to be a priest and get caught fornicating with a nun in a confession booth, click like!"

- "One time I dreamt of doing heroin, coke, and pot at the same time, while playing the drums in a marching band, and upon waking up, thought it would be a bad idea! Click like if you think so too!"

- "If you like helping other people make money off posts like this one, click like now!"

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
