I'm so bored I...
I have despised twitter ever since I first heard of it. It's useless. I don't know why anyone would want to share everything they do or why anyone would care to find out. I thought it was ridiculous. I still do.
I believe Facebook changed its look about half a year ago to the tabbed, live stream, what's on your mind format. I loved the tabs idea because it meant I didn't have to look at all those stupid flashy applications I saw on everyones pages. The live stream was cool too but at the time I didn't really care for the idea of a home page with info on everyone else. This was due mainly to the change in the way people could update their status. If I remember correctly, status updates were originally either on the side of the page under the profile picture or next to the name at the top of the profile page. Either way changing your status was awkward compared to the new changes. Now updating your status is as easy as posting on someone else's wall. Also posting has changed to sharing. Now since updating status has been made so easy its being done nonstop. I was so annoyed with all the updates on the home page that at one point I hid everyone so my home page would be nice and empty.
Eventually, a time came when I was bored and had nothing to do. My mind swayed to Facebook and I began unhiding people from my wall.... just to see what was going on. I started reading peoples posts, taking quizzes others had taken, playing games on Facebook, etc. and yada yada yada I started posting my own status updates regularly. Many said the new status update was just Facebook trying to get people to stop using twitter. When I found out what twitter was I had to agree. Its still pretty much useless. This summer I posted a lot of status updates and I kind of annoyed myself by posting so many. So I slowed down and tried not to go on Facebook so much.
I finished up my internship at Cisco last week. I had a great time. I learned a lot and kept busy. I've been home since Friday with nothing to do. Mostly everyone I know is either out of town or back at school already and I am bored again. So bored that I always find myself wanting to post a status update on Facebook. I know its not really a bad thing but I don't want to think that I'm annoying others with my meaningless status updates. The problem is I need something to do.
It's sad that the solution I have found to my boredom is something I hate with a passion. I got a twitter today. If you are really interested in following the dullness that is my life you can follow me at http://twitter.com/krisharmas. I still hate twitter. It's just helping me cope with the boredom before I head back to school. I'm going to post the status updates I would have posted on Facebook on twitter so as not to annoy others and myself whenever I log into Facebook.
I guess I'll start tweeting now. Good God what have I done?
