Respect Authority

Since I’m assuming I’m a little older than most of you, I’m giving you a warning. This is what happens once you reach a certain age and are on Facebook. The people involved in this following status update conversation (ugh) are at least two years older than me. Please don’t turn into these people. Please.

This is an exact grammatical transcript. The following took place last Friday afternoon:

Kristi S. is wishing this day would just be over already

Dan M. - sorry about that . . . hope it gets better . . . TGIF!

Mickey M. (looks at least 40 in his picture) - Friday always seem to go the slowest, don’t they?

Kate K. - Word. This day blows. But, I love you! XoXoXo

Janet N. - I am right there with you!!!

Dan M. (again) - Keep smiling kid, only 4 more hours to go or so . . .

Amy G. - I’m no kidding - and would be nice if the wknd lasted like a week! miss you!

Nancy M. - Same here . . . this week felt long . . .

I have to run through about 5 or 6 of these conversations per day. I can’t not look at them. If you feel that you may be one of these people in the future, please do us all a favor and terminate your account. If you don’t feel like you’ll be able to do this on your own, then let me know, and I’ll come over to wherever you live with my smotherin’ pillow. It’s kind of like Ben Affleck’s paddle in Dazed and Confused, except it’s a pillow with the logos of all 30 baseball teams on it.

IN OTHER NEWS:  Since I was too lazy to contribute to the year end list of favorites here’s my extremely short list (without the awesomely cropped pictures).

Movie: In Bruges

TV: Breaking Bad

Music: The Original Soundtrack to The Nightman Cometh by Charlie Kelly

Trends: Is Shamwow! a trend?

Food and Drink: Tostitos with Lime

News Item: The Philadelphia Phillies win the World Series and by doing so validate my earthly existence.

Finally, here’s a trailer I came across (read: actually made myself last Thursday night at 2am) for the upcoming sequel to There Will Be Blood. It’s kinda weird, by the way.
