I’m done with you phone, computer… myspace.

Technology never ceases to annoy every fuck out of me. I switched to Verizon last year, after multiple years of bullshit with AT&T/Cingular/at&t. Not surprisingly, right out of the box, my phone did not work in my office or my condo. You know, those two places that I spent majority of my natural life. Finally, fed up with a year’s worth of “no guaranteed indoor coverage,” I switched back to at&t — where I know I have cell coverage even in strange travels to nowhere in Texas. Sweet deal (that I suppose will be worthy of my $175 broken contract fee): free phone, bluetooth, car charger, cell case. And GUARANTEED to annoy the shit out of my coworkers with Pee-Wee ringtones.

So, we’ve been having some super-major computer issues at work, which only adds to the frustration and stress level I already feel on a daily basis. Somebody (not me) was clicking on porn again and downloaded a Trojan program to our server. So awesome. I’m sure somebody probably has access to all my passwords too. One second my start bar is there… then it’s not. Then I cannot access any of my settlement documents. Then I cannot restart, but only power down. *sigh* I guess I need to think of new swear words once Geek Squad tech guy gets to the office and fixes this shit.

Then there’s the holy hell of social web spaces: myspace. I finally made the switch to Facebook — the site that I felt used to be all bullshit and high school, which ironically describes myspace these days. I mean, I like to waste 45 minutes on a survey just like the next guy, but I’m just overwhelmed with the cluster-fuck that myspace has become. I think I’ll miss my daily profile music changes though. Usually describes my mood better than, well, typing in my current mood. Although, DAY ONE that I joined Facebook, some guy I dated a couple years ago was already on point in asking for my hand in lost friendship. I declined. Then I received another request. And I declined. I guess it takes two to make a thing go right.

Next post: Fucking Facebook.

Oh, and by the way, never, ever place a hot pepper in the microwave. The stem catches fire like a candle. Awesome.

Don’t put foil in either. And, if you have mini popcorn bags, don’t hit the “popcorn” button because that time limit only works with full portion bags.

The proposed subject line has me looking forward to the Facebook post.

I think both sites are pretty much for people younger than us. I have a MySpace page, yes, but it’s simply to promote my blog, that’s it. I also enjoy finding out when certain local bands are playing and where and that happens through the bulletins. Other than that, there is NO WAY I’m logging into something like that each day to tell the world what my mood is or what I’m thinking. I have many many better things to do.

I’ve actually never seen Facebook because I was always under the impression, like you, that it was just for younger kids. But then again, I’m pretty sure Obama has a Facebook page.

my space is a dying beast, i wish someone would slay it and it would go the way dinosaurs. I hate Verizon they are the ant-christ of cell phone companies.I wish i was not binded to them for another year. everyone is on facebook now. I too felt the same way you did that facebook was a waste of time for the younger set, but now i realize is a waste time for the over set too. have fun at the show.

Anyone going to the Social Media thing-a-ma-jig at PNC Park tomorrow?
