1. Fasting Facebook is Hard When…

    For those of you that don’t know, I’m fasting Facebook, along with Youtube and Twitter. Only until Thanksgiving. And I know it doesn’t seem like a long period of time (I started last Monday), but I don’t think you realize how much of the world is connected to FB. I can’t say I’m WAY more productive with my time than before, but I am spending more time reading the word and (hopefully) developing a habit of it — the primary reason I even started this fast.

    Anyways, without further ado, 5 reasons why fasting FB is hard:

    1. Virtually every company utilizes FB. I can’t escape it! You don’t know how many times I’ve read… “Read more on our facebook page!” &^%$#$% I can’t do anything without being lead to facebook fan pages these days.

    2. Expressing myself. Maybe I’m just deprived, but you don’t have any idea how many times, in the past few days, I’ve told myself an incident that occurred would make an amazing, funny, or thought-provoking status. It’d be so popular and get so many likes! *___*

    3. Passing time. It’s so easy to log on and look at what people are doing when you have a few minutes to spare here or there. Which inevitably leads to…

    4. Connecting with people! It’s the best way to talk to people. No one uses aim or gchat anymore.

    5. When I get emails like this:

    Facebook, you whore. Stop teasing me. I’m so currrriousssss…

  2. The Social Network

    Gage: Mr. Zuckerberg, do I have your full attention?
    Mark Zuckerberg: [stares out the window] No.
    Gage: Do you think I deserve it?
    Mark Zuckerberg: [looks at the lawyer] What?
    Gage: Do you think I deserve your full attention?
    Mark Zuckerberg: I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition, and I don’t want to perjure myself, so I have a legal obligation to say no.
    Gage: Okay - no. You don’t think I deserve your attention.
    Mark Zuckerberg: I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try - but there’s no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention - you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing. Did I adequately answer your condescending question?

    Erica Albright: Why do you keep saying I don’t need to study?
    Mark Zuckerberg: You go to B.U…

    Divya Narendra: He gave himself a 42 day head start cause he knows what apparently you don’t. Which is that getting there first is everything.
    Cameron Winklevoss: I’m a competitive racer, Div. I don’t think you need to school me on the importance of getting there first. Thank you.

    Cameron Winklevoss: What Do you want? To hire an IP lawyer and sue him?
    Divya Narendra: No I want to hire The Sapranos to beat the shit out of him with a hammer.
    Tyler Winklevoss: We don’t have to do that.
    Cameron Winklevoss: That’s right.
    Tyler Winklevoss: We do that ourselves. I’m six-five, 220 pounds, and there are two of me.

    Honestly, who else was peeved by the Mark Zuckerberg character? The Winklevoss’ told Zuckerberg their idea and business plan in confidence, but he turned around and stole the very thing that made their niche, in the social media market, novel and had the audacity to play victim. Mark Zuckerberg was a pretentious douche bag that clearly didn’t have a grasp of business ethics.
