Hump Day

Quick hits on a Wednesday:

  • Kobe is freaking uneblieveable... he could have put up 90 last night if he really wanted to.
  • Had a good time at Clark's party last night, particularly enjoyed our little game of Do, Date, or Dump.
  • This year kind of feels like one of those years where I don't quite all the way get into the Christmas spirit. Its cliche, but the commercialism kinda gets to me. Maybe after I watch Charlie Brown Christmas I will be all fixed.
  • I'm going to start reading some Nick Hornby novels, I've heard they are funny and insightful, so I'm gonna give some fiction a shot.

And finally, the main point of my post today:

I've noticed a startling trend happening in my life the past few months. Its a recurring situation that usually happens like this: I see someone at church or from my high school days that I haven't seen in many months or maybe years, and we begin talking and catching up. But the thing is, as he/she is telling me about where theyve been for the past year or who they've been with, or what they've done, I already know these details because of the socially acceptable stalking methods of our time, Facebook, Xanga and Webshots. And so in our conversation I have to pretend that I don't know anything about their life in the last year, but I really do, but I don't want them to know that I know. Really just an awkward situation all the way around. I hate Facebook. But its too late to turn back. The Evil Empire has ensnared us all.
