The “Others” on Facebook: 7 Things You Must Know

Monday, January 31st, 2011

Facebook is for the vain, glorifying self promoters who want everyone to know just how special they are via cyberspace. LOL, jk, lmfao, smh, lls, jkjk, omg, but every jest has an ounce of truth.

Some people that graze this social network just get on our nerves and we wonder why. Is it because we really don’t want to know that much about someone whom we haven’t seen in eight years? Or is it the ruthless pseudo-farming, gaming, and obscure requests that fill our inbox daily?

Will you feed my chickens? Lend a nail for my barn? Harvest my crops?

We are all guilty of being an annoying “friend” on facebook, flaunting our victories, rarely posting our defeats, and only posting the best pictures of ourselves, making sure our profile hides the semi-belly you’ve grown since highschool that is not, (I repeat, is not) a baby bump, and probably just the result of beer binges or frequent happy hours where you’ve gotten a little too happy, you beer monster, you…

Let’s start with things we love:

1. Contrary to popular opinion, we DO like good news and pretty pictures. If you just won the lottery, we want to know, so we can call and “catch up.” If you are suddenly a raging beauty when, ten years ago, we couldn’t stand to look at you…we want to know! (Again, so we can “catch up”… and see if you are single). So if you now resemble Venus, by all means, send us a message…or give us a poke.

2. We love it when you post something interesting/educational/inspiring. Anything from the New York Times normally counts as pretty cool, not only because of the material, but we don’t even have to do the research ourselves for the latest breaking news in the science world. Yes, I’d like to know what’s going on in Egypt right now and what the President said in his speech last night…

3. Music videos from artists we’ve never heard of (so we can go illegally download the song immediately) or practically any video that makes us laugh, giggle, think, reminisce, etc. Just please, don’t go posting ten videos a day because then it’s just…obnoxious.

Cool music is always welcome. Like this awesome song by The Knife:


Things we don’t like

1. Leave the relationship drama for the bedroom…or the front door, or the mall. Not on an abstract wall that people view and can comment on. Just please.

2. This might have come up in another blog, but I have to reiterate: GRAMMAR. It’s so sad to see that someone, whom you’ve admired or somewhat liked (even as a friend) doesn’t know the difference between “to” and “too” and “their, there, they’re” and countless other grammatical errors that swamp this elicit site. You are judged. Not by your pictures, but by your words. Chose carefully friends. Poke j/k lmfao omg jkjkjkjk…really.

3. Bathroom pictures. Oh geesh, if you don’t have friends to take your picture, at least stand in front of something interesting, instead of a doorway with a mirror reflecting your hemorrhoid cream and toilet bowl. We do not want to see the contents of your bathroom and you shouldn’t be taking your phone in the bathroom anyways: germ central. Just nasty.

4. Posts about what YOU ARE EATING. People do not care, nor do they like to read, about the contents of your diet. it’s just plain ridiculous. “Mmm, eating Chipotle.” “Grubbing on some chocolate cake” “Taco bell for lunch. nom nom”

If you post this kind of stuff, restaurant chains should start paying you for advertising. And not to mention it makes others hungry, specifically me.

Simple & Delicious Recipes for Thanksgiving!

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

Thanksgiving is only a day away, so if you need some extra help in the kitchen for ideas on how to impress your guests (or simply indulge yourself), here are some of our holiday favorites:

1. Hot Spiced Cranberry Cider

Hot Spiced Cranberry Cider

Ingredients

  • 2 quarts apple cider
  • 6 cups cranberry juice
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons whole cloves
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. In a large pot, combine apple cider, cranberry juice, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves and lemon slices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove cinnamon, cloves, and lemon slices. Serve hot.

2. Waldorf Salad

Waldorf Salad

Ingredients:

  • 3 or 4 granny apples, unpeeled, cut from the core, and chopped into bite size pieces (about 3 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 2/3 cup chopped celery
  • 1/3 cup walnuts (optional)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/3 cup of marshmellows

Cut up 3 or 4 of the apples, until you get about 2-1/2 or 3 cups of chopped apples. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the apples. The acid in the lemon juice prevents the apples from turning brown. The raisins will taste best if you plump them first. Do this by measuring them into a cereal bowl and adding enough warm tap water to cover them completely. Allow them to sit for a few minutes, absorbing the water, and softening up. Drain them very well when you need them.  Chop up the celery, it should take about 2 stalks or so. Add walnuts. Mix everything together in a medium sized bowl with the mayonnaise and sugar, coating all of the ingredients with the mayonnaise. It is now ready to serve, or you can chill it overnight and serve it tomorrow instead. This recipe serves 6.

A Little Drink Anyone? – Maybe beer cufflinks instead?

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

We know how stressing the world is- the mass killings of journalists in the Philippines, wars in the Middle East and everything about our government. If the movies New Moon and 2012 can’t make you relax and no Bella or Edward can make you forget about failed democracies and worries about the climate change, then you really need a shopping spree and a little drink.

Coffee and beer for cufflinks? Not bad huh?

By saying a little drink, we don’t always mean alcoholic drinks. While beer is always associated with mugs, let’s try something new and associate it with cufflinks! Of course we’re not tempting you to drink beer, we’re just tempting you to get some cool cufflinks.

The best thing about cool cufflinks is that people get impressions about who you are and what you do. In this case, when you wear Beer Cufflinks or Coffee Cufflinks, people who will get to see them will have two impressions about you: 1. You love to party and go out drinking. 2. You hate going out, get drunk, meet new people and yes, you hate bars! You just want to read, be peaceful and drink coffee.

So are you in a quest to live with less stress and worries? Do something moral, avoid prison breaks, eat good food and shop some cool items like unique cufflinks.
