Why do I care about your vacaton, facebook, youtube videos?

Post by IMADreamer »

Not to seem like an even bigger dick then most of you already think I am but I've pretty much had it with several people whom I once atleast called friends. I have a facebook page simply for a business like page, I don't give a [expletive] about you, your pictures, your relationship status, or a damn youtube video.

Let me elaborate. Two people I know are going on the "vacation of a lifetime" together. They are in my little circle of friends and family and everyone is asking me "have you heard from John yet? I wonder if they made it to Japan ok?" Well I haven't heard of any plane crashes in the Pacific I'll assume they are just [expletive] fine. So of course John, who is the biggest attention whore you've ever met and probably the most self absorbed [expletive] there is of course updates his every [expletive] minute on facebook with PICTURES!

So my inlaw sees the pictures and then thinks I need to see every [expletive] one of them. I don't give a [expletive] about this ass holes pictures, quit wasting my time. BUT WAIT! There's more.

This guy John who I used to be closer with until I realized he is only friends when it's good for him takes every opportunity he can to either message me on Facebook or text me on my phone some god damned youtube video. Maybe it's a music video, or a funny cat, or who the hell knows what and if I don't respond with in five seconds he says "did you get my text?" Yes you [expletive] ass hat I got your text. So for the last month I've basically just been responding to everything with "oh man that's great" and not even watching the damn thing.

This world would be so amazing without people in it. A lot of people over the years have told me that they thought i was stuck up, arrogant, or just really shy until they got to know me because when I'm not ranting on GRB I'm really a quiet guy. It's not that I'm any of those things, it's that it takes so much out of me to deal with people, especially crowds, or people who just constantly bombard me with questions, pictures, videos whatever that I just kind of crawl inside myself and shut down. People generally annoy me, they want me to adapt to them, I just want to be left alone. Why does that make me weird just to want to live a quiet peaceful existence?

if you stop responding, eventually people eventually stop attempting contact.

Yeah real great. Today's him standing in front of a building. No particular building, nothing architecturally cool about it or anything just some building. "Here I am in Japan standing in front of this building that could be any building any where in the world! Just though you should stop what you are doing to bask in the glory that is me in front of this building."

Who the hell do people think they are that they are so conceded that they think they need to put their whole life on the internet. Can't wait to wake up tomorrow to see more pictures of an American asshat in Japan.

and yes I understand the irony of this post.

again, the longer you go without responding, the least likely this issue will remain one.

I know how old she is more or less, that is quite a compliment you are giving out there.
