Actual Facebook Statuses of Your Actual Virtual Friends

Oct 12 2010 10:41 AM

A place to put the funny, scary, dumb and/or winceworthy broadcasts from your feed.

I'll start, with this one from a HS classmate who surprisingly, is still living on Long Island (backstory: a recent status change from Engaged to Single).

LIFE
SUCKS! AND JUST WHEN YOU THINK ITS DONE BEATING YOU UP ANDS DRAINS YOU
DRY... IT STOPS LOOKS YOU IN THE EYE AND WHILE YOU LIE HELPLESSLY AND
VUNERABLE ON THE FLOOR... IT GIVES YOU A THREEPOINT FIELD KICK IN THE
FACE LEAVING YOU DISFIGURED AND IN NEED OF BIG BLACK SUNGLASSES TO HIDE THE DAMAGE THAT HAS SCARRED YOU FOR LIFE.

This is from one of my Team McGraw friends who ran the Chicago Marathon on Sunday. This was her second marathon, but her first since battling a brain tumor, and she walked a significant part of the route due to a muscle strain -

"People keep telling me you get a second wind and feel great," he said, "but I've hated every minute of it......... A comment from a first time Chicao Marathon participant


The status update actually made me laugh. It's nice to know that one can get through a marathon even if it's a struggle. I guess I just like the concept that it's ok if you don't feel a certain, pre-expected way during this kind of an event :)

Sometimes Facebook status updates are funny when I see what looks like continuity between the status updates of two people who I know don't know one another.

These are next to one another on my Facebook feed right now:

Friend #1 (who is travelling across the country today): Woah! This is a SMALL plane!

Friend #2 (who is going skydiving today): is up next for jumping!

it may belong in the running thread, but marathon #3 (the marathon portion of the goofy race and a half challenge) for us went similarly, but differently. the morning of the race was really cold. it triggered some sort of inner ear thing on mrs.mm that's basically been her mortal enemy for a while. the bouncing from running would make her want to hurl. we walked maybe 2/3 of the whole thing, and were a little afraid we would get swept off the course. our training did not incorporate long distance walking, so we were using some fairly unfamiliar muscles. hurt like hell, too. our time? 6:24.

ever since, i've been sorely tempted to run goofy with the express aim of beating that time for the whole thing.

Ed Hardy's a renowned/acclaimed tattoo artist, protege of the renowned "Sailor Jerry" Collins. The shirts/accessories based on his work and/or aesthetic-- from Christian Audiger, initially, but now available in literally countless knockoff styles, from countless purveyors-- are what style-less people wear when they're trying to be casually cool (see: Luke Scott, American Idol winners, most everyone with testicles standing in line outside an Atlantic City casino club or Midtown lounge).

Like most, he jumped on the bandwagon.

He "claims" that he was a big Gary Sheffield fan and started following them in 2003. But he didn't follow the Mets in 2009 when Sheffield joined them.

He's flawed. He can't help it. Of course, now he talks like a Yankee fan and acts like a Yankee fan (thus, the Facebook quote). He takes ownership of all of their championships as fan, even though he only witnessed one since his fandom began.

Talking to him about baseball is like talking to a poo-flinging monkey, which is why I don't bother.

I had just bought a 'kaffi' (sp?) from some arab guy with a camel - I posted a pic on fb of me wearing it around my head. I did however know enough to take it off my head waaay before we entered the Old City of Jerusalem. I've always liked the look of wearing those things like a scarf and it was chilly that day so I wrapped that middle-eastern bad boy around my neck (as did both of my sons). Our tour guide (who was a major in the Israeli army by the way) said it was no big deal to do that.

So we're walking down some steps to the Wall and some crazy Jew grabs me by my elbow and says 'That's a terrorist scarf, terrorist! Take it off!' I wrestled my arm away from him at which point he ran up the stairs. I walked quickly down the stairs and told our army major guide what happened. He took off up the stairs after the guy but couldn't find him. My kids begged me to take the thing off but Yair (the guide) insisted that I keep it on after the incident.

"Kaffiyeh." Spent some time there a few years ago (and not in hotels). One thing to remember when you're just passing through-- virtually everybody who's still in Jerusalem is there because they have no way out, means-wise... or because they, like your crazy Jew or tour guide, are stubbornly trying to make a point (there are probably at least dozen family men you walked by with your tour guide that day who congratulated themselves on their self-restraint when they got home... and a handful of young dudes kicking themselves for NOT saying anything). Old City or no, and Yair's advice notwithstanding, it's a good idea to refrain from displaying signifiers for fun until you get back home (or to Tel Aviv, at least).

soupcan
Mar 06 2012 08:39 AM
Re: Actual Facebook Statuses of Your Actual Virtual Friends

In fairness to me I did not realize nor was I ever told that wearing it as a scarf was a 'signifier'. The only time anybody said anything about it was the one time I was grabbed by the nut. Perhaps it doesn't excuse my ignorance or lack of tact but it is what it is.

AND...I might add that accosting me because I'm simply wearing a scarf is as ridiculous as assuming any black man with an afro is a Black Panther. Now I realize that Israel is a different place and the tension level among those that live there is off the charts but still - that kind of behavior should never be tolerated and only adds fuel to those that are looking to make trouble. I think that's why Yair told me that I should keep it on.

As to those that live in Jerusalem - we were told that the difference between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem was that the people of Jerusalem live to pray and in Tel Aviv they live to party. We understood that to mean that those that do in fact live in Jerusalem are of a more pious ilk and that existing in that city necessitates a level of tolerance and understanding. This is what we were told, though from what I saw and experienced - my kaffiyeh experience notwithstanding - I tend to agree with LWFS. The people were bitter about one thing or another. The courtesies were there but you could definitely sense an underlying resentment from pretty much every native we encountered. Either we were Jews, Americans, American Jews, Jews who aren't 'Jewish enough' or simply foreigners.

Oh dear god, the most ineffective protest in history - the Gas Out - is returning and being promoted on Facebook. If you're not familiar with the concept, the idea is to get everyone to agree not fill up their cars on one day April 15 then gas prices will magically go down. Because everyone who drives a car buys gas every single day and this "protest" will just demolish the oil companies' bottom line. Because we wouldn't want to participate in a protest that actually requires some personal sacrifice or lifestyle change. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I don't think the two things are directly analagous. I haven't heard anyone say "IF EVERYONE WORE A HOODIE FOR ONE DAY, ZIMMERMAN WOULD BE ARRESTED AND CONVICTED AND STAND YOUR GROUND LAWS WOULD BE ERASED FROM THE BOOKS!" and if I did I'd mock them too. Wearing a hoodie shows solidarity and may inspire conversations to discuss the issues that will change minds. Obviously it's only a start of what needs to be done as far as public activism but I think it's a far cry from Gas Out's claims that boycotting gas purchases for just one day will force the oil companies to lower prices and it has worked before (both of which are demonstrably false). Maybe if they proposed giving up gas for a week or month and encouraged carpooling, public transit, biking, walking and telecommuting it would be a start to something effective. See Snopes for more details on why the Gas Out is just dumb.

Re: Actual Facebook Statuses of Your Actual Virtual Friends

Yeah, it seems even in theory to be playing into a zero-sum game. If everybody doesn't buy gas on Tuesday, they could in theory bring the price down. But then they head to the pumps on Wednesday, flood the market, and the price quickly spikes. And does the market respond so quickly?

And that's only if this campaign has the kind of traction that dwarfs Kony2012.

The Hoodie thing is probably far more effective.

man, when i wear a hoodie, i never look like a thug. i can't even pull off white trash.

but i still can't wrap my mind around how you can trigger a confrontation with an unarmed person committing no crime, who you then shoot dead, and walk away without any charges filed against you.

there must be some really deep nuances to that florida law that i just don't see.

If one of my friends likes a page, then I get all of the updates, even though I myself don't like the page.

So even though I haven't "liked" any of the following pages, I'm getting their updates cluttering my news feed:

Elizabeth Warren
Cory Booker
Ford Mustang
The NRA
Support our Troops
Philadelphia Phillies


And I'm sure that the list will continue to grow. I think it's something called "Sponsored Links". The page that has been liked has paid Facebook to spam its users. Each time I see one of these come up, I "mark as spam" although I doubt it does much good.

You can block "game stories" from your friends (which I do) but not these spammy things. I think there's a setting where I can prevent my "likes" from polluting my friends' pages, but for me to stop being annoyed, my friends would have to hunt down that option, if it even exists.

When I get a chance I'll look for it. I certainly don't want to be a channel for annoying posts if I can help it.

I'm replying rather than editing due to more recent posts added to this thread, but I think the most inane, latest example is taking the quote from the first episode of Newsroom, and acting as if this is something Jeff Daniels had said on some panel, rather than his character.

Now, it may be that Daniels' (or Aaron Sorkin as well) beliefs on how great this country is or isn't could be close to what Will McEvoy said, but seriously, A) Why do you need an actor's words to validate what you believe to the point of plastering it on a cyber bumper sticker and B) You do realize that was a fictional character right? I like quoting fiction all the time, but at the end of the day it's just entertainment, not something to bolster your overall point of view on whatever social or political issue.

Trouble getting a loan to buy a home, you own it.

More dependency on food stamps, you own it.

Several part time jobs instead of a good job, you own it.

A World Government, you own it.

The UN governing the United States instead of ourselves, you own it.

A Senate that will not bring any legislation to the table rather it is "Dead on Arrival", you own it.

China controlling our world trade trampling all over us, you own it.

Loss of our freedoms as we have known it in the past, you own it.

A dictatorship instead of a democracy that follows the Constitution, you own it.

Less take home pay and higher living costs, you own it.

More government corruption and lies, you own it.

President George Bush is out of it now, and there is not another good man for you to villify and lie about.

In a way I am relieved that another good man will not be blamed when it was impossible to clean up this mess you voted for.

Have a good day. God bless the United States and Arizona! God is our hope now.

I enjoy watching the girls play with the nativity set. I'm curious to know when baby Jesus became so adept at Kung fu.

I'm thinking of asking him for advice with the drapes.

Also, my friend Steve, bassist and producer for my wife's next album, makes his real money playing live-band karaoke, and got this baby for his memory album.
