My first facebook photo

I've noticed a few people posting their first facebook photo in honor of  the facebook IPO.

I bring you Ginny's first uploaded photo on facebook. September 4, 2007.

Hot mess much?

You really had no idea puppies were a lot of work? A Friday rant.

Happy Friday! Ginny has got some ranting to do. Once again this stems from facebook and once again I'm going to rant about people not taking care of their pets.

A girl I know on facebook has posted that she is selling her Husky puppy at a reduced price of $800.00. Now the reason she is selling her puppy is that she can't give it the time and attention that the puppy needs. Ok, at least you're being honest BUT. BUUUUUUTTTTTTT. How do you not know that a puppy is going to be a lot of work! I have never had a puppy or a dog and I know this. It's common knowledge. If you don't know this I'm telling you now. Puppies need training, attention and care. Shocking! I know. I'm sorry if I blew you're freaking mind here.

And here's the thing. To me, pets are family. When you decide to bring a pet into your home, that's it. You don't give it away or sell it because it's hard. I understand that sometimes there are circumstances where you can't keep the pet. But to get rid of a pet because it's hard word? Give me a break. Kids are hard work. Do you give them back to the breeder? Oh wait....you are the breeder. It's called responsibility folks. Suck it up and be an adult.

P.S. you're really going to sell the dog for $800? And this is the "reduced" price according the update.

Wow this Wal-Dryl is really making me feisty.

I de-friended my cousin on facebook

I had to defriend a male cousin of mine on facebook. All of his updates are about woman he has dated that dumped him, calling them all sorts of names. I'm sorry but I don't want to read that crap on facebook. It really amazes me how much personal stuff people put on facebook.

Looks who's talking here. I'm a blogger. I'm all about sharing my life but this is why I blog. People can choose to come to my blog and read about my thoughts. On facebook it's pretty much right there in your face the second you log in. I don't need to know that it's your time of the month. I don't need to know that so and so is a skank. It's like we're all reverting to high school talking smack and being vague. "You know who you are". I hate that. Just tell the person to their face! Don't use facebook to air your dirty laundry.

Or you can go the route of my cousin and actually @theirname so you know exactly who he's talking about.

I actually hope that my cousin asks me why I defriended him. I want to tell him that I think his facebook updates are inappropriate and that he doesn't seem very happy right now and that as a woman I really have no desire to read updates about how all woman are horrible liars and whores.

Can you tell I'm ready for the weekend? I'm usually ready for the weekend when I go on a facebook rant.

Facebook needs to die (this post is back from the dead)

I had a post here about facebook and how I have a very love/hate relationship with it but I somehow deleted it and now I'm too lazy to re-type it.

Just take my word for it that it was brilliant writing.

And Sarah, in response to your comment. I think you are right that Timeline will not kill facebook. I was just using that as an example of a change that I am not a fan of.

UPDATE: Bob was nice enough to copy and paste my post from his google reader.  Thank you!  See my original post below.

Is anyone else ready for facebook to die? I mean I'm on it every day but I'm really annoyed with Zuckerburg making changes to facebook every week. This new timeline thing sucks. I hate it. Can we just leave facebook alone? I joined facebook because I was sick of pages blinding me with bling and ICP blaring at me every time I went on a myspace profile. I'm pretty sure only juggalos and creepers are still on myspace.

It will happen eventually. Facebook will not last forever. I'm all for change and Zuckerburg obviously has some idea what he's doing to get this far but I've said it once and I'll say it again. He does not understand what the average person really wants. He is not an average person. He assumes he knows what's best for the average facebook user and so he makes these changes and ignores the backlash. People are just waiting for the next thing and they will jump ship and I will laugh.

Things I do not like: the Christmas music and facebook addition

Christmas music:  I'm sorry but it's the same songs over and over and over. I hear them once and I've had my fill for the year. There are people that absolutely lose it over Christmas music. "Oh my God I can finally listen to my Christmas music! This is the best day of my life! JINGLE BELLS FOREVER!"  Straight line face from me :| when that happens.

Facebook's new article thingy that I don't know what to call it:  Oh you trick me facebook. I see a friend has read an article and I'm like "hmmm well that looks interesting I should read that" and facebook is all "if you want to read this you have to have it plastered all over facebook that you've read this. Otherwise all your friends will think you are illiterate and can't read." Well facebook, I'm not sharing. Not everything needs to be known or shared despite what you think.

Hippie ex-boyfriends:  Talking with some of my favorite blogger friends the topic of ex-boyfriends came up.  More specifically how many of us have dated a hippie. My suggestion is that if you see a dude wearing a bandanna like a headband and he plays the banjo run RUN FAR AND FAST. If you're thinking you must have missed out by not having ever dated a hippie think again.

The cat's WWF or WCW or whatever the heck you call it, let's go with UFC fights:  My cats like to play and their favorite way to play is to wrestle each other at 6 a.m.  They're running back and forth, rolling on the floor, knocking crap over. When I am tired and hungover I can't deal. I yell at them like that will get them to stop "what did I tell you! I told you to cut it out!" Surprisingly they ignore me. This is also their passive aggressive way to wake me up so I'll feed them. I'm the only passive aggressive one allowed in this house cats!

Not having chips right now:  I don't think I need to explain this.

Wow It feels good to let the cranky old lady inside of me out every once in a while.

What is wrong with people!

I wanted to post about this on Facebook because that's where this rant is stemming from but I don't want or need facebook drama in my life.  I said my piece but I held back.  Thank God I have a blog right?

I'm Facebook friends with a girl, we'll just call her P, who drives me insane.  The only reason why I'm still Facebook friends with P is because I grew up being very close to her sisters and family so it would be rude if I was friends with all of them but not with P.  Trust me I defriended her before and it was more trouble than it was worth.

So P posts this status on Facebook:

I had to let the cat go :( is was bleeding and about to die so I let it go in the wildness

WTF!  Who just let's a house cat go in the "wildness".  Especially when it's that sick.  The poor thing!  You can't just discard a pet because you don't feel like paying for it.  You shouldn't have got the cat in the first place!  This pisses me off so bad.  There is one girl who told P off in the comments on her status and people jumped all over her telling her she was being mean for getting upset with P.  Are you kidding me?!!  Who's the one who left a pet outside to die rather than being responsible and having the cat put to sleep.  She could have called the humane society and lied and said she just found the cat.  They would have put the cat to sleep.

This girl drives me crazy!  I won't even get into the fact that she let's her toddler aged children ride around in cars without a car seat or the fact that she thinks it's funny that my tax dollars pay for her children, food and housing.
