My love/hate relationship with Facebook

I can't be the only one on the planet that has a love/hate relationship with Facebook.  At least every other week I swear I am going to leave Facebook.  Don't get me wrong I love it, I love looking at pictures of my friends' kids, seeing how my "real" friends that live far away from me are doing, and there is the occasional really really funny post.  I absolutely HATE the posts from people that say stupid things that no one on the planet gives a crap about.  I don't care that you worked out and are sore, I don't care what you harvested from your garden, and I really can't stand the vague posts that are just begging you to ask "are you ok? is something wrong?"

One thing Facebook is good for is showing you how flippin fake people are, especially people that are supposed to be friends.  I am talking real friends, not the people that you haven't seen in 15 years, but the ones that you see often and your kids play together, the ones that you actually considered to be a real friend.  I know sometimes things can get misconstrued because emotion, intent, etc can't be garnered from someone typing a sentence.  Over time though a pattern emerges and you can clearly tell what kind of person someone is.  

Well, this is my rant for this morning.  I am off to go update my Facebook status with something mind-blowing like "woke up this morning, still breathing....feeling accomplished!"
