Does this mean I now have "Friends"

Before I begin ranting, which is the wonderful part about a blog - no one can interrupt me or debate any of my thoughts, I just get to say anything I want - I want to recognize my brother's comment.  As you can tell he was raised and still is a good Catholic, but sometimes finds himself being pulled into the herd...Some day oh great Facebook, he will check his status during the game - it may have to be at half time, but it will still count as a victory for you.  As to your Captain, Twitter, I'm not sure he is doing a good job at recruitment because I have no F***ing idea what a tweet is or how I would even go about stalking someone by tweeting at them?

Ha, you saw that green light, didn't you. Its like a game of "made you look." If you figure out what the f*** twitter is, let me know because as far as I can tell it is high tech stalking and self ego stroking. I still have a dumb phone and don't care about what others are doing or thinking so I attend facebook like most Catholics attend church, only once in a while and definitely not if football is on. 

Anyways, on to my original thought....One of the challenges that I have been facing as a new member of the WWW herd is learning what words really mean and how to us acronyms for all the important phrases in my life - which really is convenient because I can't tell you how many times I have made the mistake of typing "laughing out loud" vs. LOL - OMG I'm LMAO at how awesome that is.  While I would love to stream an entire sentence in Acronyms at this point those 3 are sadly the only ones I know so far WAFLIA (What A F-ing Loser I Am).  * Just as a note this was intended to be an Adult posting, but I think I will limit the nasty language unless it is truly needed, this is due to some young "Friends" that I have on Facebook and to increase my GRS (Google Revenue Stream).

As far as I can tell the great and almighty Facebook has done to the word "Friend" what McDonald's did to the words "small", "medium", and "large".  Because before I became a follower, there were only certain types of people (other than family) that I would encounter in my day - stranger, acquaintance and Friend.  So, McDonald's makes the small a "kids", the medium a "regular" and the large a "Super Sized".   So now everyone expects to skip right over the small and go straight to the medium, as medium is "regular".  Facebook decides that you either have "Friends" or people they recommend to be my friend - where is the stranger column?  So I guess as stranger is a kid now?  An acquaintance is a "Friend" and a real friend would be?  Is there a way I can Super Size my real friends on Facebook?

As a reminder that I treat this like anything else in my life - a way to increase my GRS (see above acronym), so click on the Ads and make me some money!
