I Am Gnat - Why Am I Here?

Disclaimer: This post is not aimed at any one person or groups of people. It's aimed at Facebook as a whole. Just read and laugh and not be offended if you look at this and go "Oh... That's something I do!".... Because you know what...... I do it too......

I'm kind of getting sick of most social media like Facebook. Big pile of blah. A ton of spammy stuff. Examples:

The "End the title with 'YOU GOTTA SEE THIS'" posts....

How about the "OMG! YOU NEED TO TRY THIS!" posts?

Two for one here to wrap it up:

How about the "Duck Face Profile Pic" and "Throwing All My Problems Online"... Forgot to put in here the "I've Watched A Lot of Dr. Phil, So I'm Going To Tell You How To Solve All Your Problems" post.

There are several others that I just don't have the time or really care enough to bust the photoshop out to make mention of. The "90's Kids", "Like and Share When You See...", "If You Know What This Is...", and of course, throwing some phrase on an image of someone or something that is completely irrelevant to the message of the text. (See Minions image later on in the blog.... And I didn't actually use any bad words. I don't do that s****.... That's bleeped out for stuff....)

Oh, and special shout out to my wife and sister in law for all the "Hey, look at this! Someone with a round hoop like object!" posts that they recieve 20 time regardless as to if they have acutally seen it or not, or if it's even slightly relevent to there style of hooping.

Down to the point of it all. I've taken long breaks from Facebook before. Just jump on Instagram and forget about the blue thumb. Now, I'm not saying that I have never NOT clicked on any such links or posted any such links, because I would easily be proven a liar. But, I find a lot of humor and rediculousness in the amount of this content. Have you ever said to yourself, "Man, I wish Facebook wasn't loaded with so much of this junk." I've had that thought before. And then I realized.... that IS Facebook. So, I got a lot of stories I want to tell. A lot of antidotes, pointers, adventures. I figure, to the garbage with social media! I'll just share my stories in a blog!

Do I know what to do with myself with a blog? Nope. I just figure so many times I should make a snazzy video, or some dumb thing like that. Instead, I'll just blow that steam off via some web page that you (the reader) can go to and be entertained or informed if you want. Yeah, I'll still have Facebook and all that, and may even post on there "HEY FOOLS! READ MY BLOG!", but whatevs. I'm sure you'll find just how random I can be. I think I'll put on a few tutorials too, computer care and safety, etc. Anything I want to just empty out of my head. It's my quick project I can do at home, at work, on the go. So just deal with it.

So, why don't you comment the most annoying posts you see on Facebook? I promise you, you won't offend me if you make mention something I do!
