I got to get this off my chest...

I saw The Social Network last night and there are a few things that I would like to say.

I can't belive that people are still members on that site considering the immoral fact on how this company was created. The whole thing is a fucking oxymoron if you ask me.  I mean he stole the idea for fucks sakes! Seriously if he wasn't guilty, those guys wouldn't have been paid their settlements.  There is no doubt that Mark Zuckaberg is a very VERY smart man.  There is also no doubt that many of you out there are just plain idiots.

He got rich playing on everyones need to feel cool, important and needed.  They say curiosity killed the cat, well curiosity got Mark Zuckaberg rich.  I'm not hating on the guy.  In fact, I think he's a genious.  It's the rest of the 500 million members on there that are idiots.  Instead of him being the socially awkward detached guy, he has made 500 million people the same way.  If you notice these days, people can't have a decent conversation anymore in person and don't have the maturity to have their point come across in an appropriate manner kind of like the first 5 min of the movie.

I get the need to want to have an online presence.  I have this blog and I have Twitter but neither comapnies got created on the grounds of screwing your friends over.  The whole basis of Facebook is to get as much friends as you can get but its funny how the person that created it fucked over his only one.

The need to fit in is absolutely relentless.  To some of us, you will do anything to feel it.

Keep in mind that everything you have earned and achieved is worth SHIT if you're sharing it on your own.

They Didn't Know Either...

I have long drives to and from work and time to time I tend to just think about things.  Sometimes I think about them too much and sometimes I run into some sort of a personal epiphany.

I was an emotionally needy child and teenager.  I got mad at my parents A LOT!  I blamed them for a lot of things, I didn't get this, I didn't get that, you didn't do this for me, you didn't support me here, etc, etc.  As a kid, you can come up with a million things that someone didn't do for you and who can blame you?  Every child is selfish! Trying to carve out a niche for yourself in a world filled with billions of people isn't easy.

The other day I was thinking about all the tweets I read from my friends who I follow on how hard it is to be a parent. Since they are my friends, I know that they are trying the best they can to help their child have a healthy balance of fun and discipline.  I thought to myself "you can't blame them for the struggles because it's not like they know what they are doing in the first place, I mean there is no manual to parenting". 

That's when it dawned on me. MY PARENTS DIDN'T KNOW EITHER!  I realized that parenting is basically flying by the seat of your pants and trying to hang on.  All these things I blamed my parents for had no merit at all!  They obviously didn't know what they were doing as well.  I mean who can blame them?  I was the second child.  They had a couple of years to practice with my older sister but as we all know and have seen, raising a boy and girl can be very different.  Hell, I mean raising a boy after another boy can be very different.  Each child has their own character that the parents have to adjust to.  My parents had 4! So by the time it was time for them to do all those parental soccer mom things for me, they obviously couldn't cause they were raising my other 2 younger siblings!

I guess I can finally let go of being that bitter child and teenager and realize that sooner or later, I'll be going through the same thing my parents did.  At least this time I'll know what both sides are really thinking and can make me have better decisions as a person and a parent.

Most Overrated Occasions

Valentines Day - If you really need ONE day to show how much you love a person, you're pretty fucking lame.

New Years Eve - It reminds me of a wedding.  Such a big anticipation but after midnight it's like any other day. Though it can be fun, you really have to go all out or there is no point.

Halloween - Do people really know what this holiday is all about? Or is it just an excuse for idiotic women to dress like sluts for one day and think they are sexy?

St. Patrick's Day - If you're not Irish, don't celebrate it.  Nothing worst than seeing an asian guy boast that he is going to be drunk on green beer, when he has no clue what the fuck it's about.  Have some green tea instead.

Don't Ask...

Don't ask a single person why they aren't in a relationship

Don't ask a couple in a relationship when they are getting married

Don't ask a married couple why they don't have kids.

Most of the time people want these things, they don't need to be reminded by people what they don't have.
