facebook is sad

at least i feel sad after wandering through for a bit... i find inspirations and information and other positive stuff and laugh and smile too, but overall i find a sad as i leave mostly because i find so little of the social networking that the site is supposed to be about... that is most likely because i do not enjoy (and it probably shows) the superficial mindless banter and psuedo-drama (not to mention pretentious arrogance, rudeness, and cruelty) that has dominated online communications ever since newsgroups and chat rooms emerged from the bbs world last century, but i seldom get even a like or response to the wall posts i make and i feel like some of my posts really deserve attention not for me but for the content of the post... i find it sad that my nearly 1000 so-called friends show so little, usually no interest in stuff i find interesting, amusing, or even important...

anyway, that's why i spend just a few minutes a day there reading, clicking the like button (which i do a lot) and leaving a comment or few (which i do whenever something inspires a response, on average a few times a day)... it only takes about fifteen minutes to check in there and if i have more time, i spend that downloading pictures i like... it seems the definition of social is changing...

back out the door to the world now :)
