Today I took the plunge and signed off Facebook. Why did I commit such an act of sacrilege? Simple, Facebook sucks, its overrated and is full of gas, or full of people full with a lot of gas. The same kind of gas we find in a methane plant.

Main reasons why I quit Facebook?

1-It is overrated, like a belly button, every one's got one.

2- My friend's constant rants about the economy and how this country is going straight to hell due to lack of conservative values. This is a guy who thinks to have all the economic solutions of the Nation. If that was the case what is he doing still selling tickets for an airline as a ticket agent at a major airport during the last 24 years? The same guy, just because he visited NASA a couple of times with his kid, pretends to be an aerospace engineer or an astrophysicist. No wonder he has been dumped, I mean, divorced twice.

3- My wife's niece who thinks she has Jesus Christ grabbed by his balls. Grow up!! The universe does not spin around you! She sees herself as the next Selena Gomez.

4- My daughter's constant broadcasting of every single detail of her life, including when she has arguments with us (her parents) for any little stupid thing that crosses her mind. Grow up dear, I love you, but there is something called privacy that you should begin treasuring dear. I do, reason why I signed off. This is a child who has over 1,000 Facebook friends. Really? Friends?
I guess the word friend is also overrated, thank you Facebook.

5- I got tired of family members and friends showing off their so called perfect lives so everyone who knows them, and those who don't, get to know how good they are having it. Nice show, but for those of us with a little bit of modesty, we know it is just an elaborated act to keep up with social appearances and a bottomless thirst of competing against each other.

6- Social media sucks, yes, I said it, Facebook, twitter, instagram etc, they all suck. They have made our lives become cheap versions of the Truman Sow.

7- I got better things to do with my spare time, like venting out on this blog. And anyone who has ever seen this blog knows I don't tend to post much stuff after all. Why? Precisely because I got better things to do with my life and time.

8- Coworkers who not only after spending 8 stinking hours of their lives in our hell hole office together, want to tag each other and post likes and poke each other online. Sickening.

9- Did I mention my own vain attempts to post positive philosophical and spiritual  messages  to try to influence the aforementioned pack of social-media butterflies into remembering that life is short, and we should strive and do our best to be better human beings and care more for each other, because in the end, G-d does not give a damn about where you spent your vacations, how cool your newest car is, or how cool you think you are for being cool, or how many posts, tweets, likes, followers and crap like that you get. Yes, that too. I got tired of my own futility.
