I did a quick buzz through my Facebook feed this morning and it was terrible. I'd say about 70% of all the content was people linking pictures or videos. The rest of the posts were uninformative and gave little to no sense of what people are actually up to in their lives. I just don't understand it anymore. It's especially bad a the moment with the supreme court looking at marriage laws. Everybody has the same profile pictures!
I do love Ace Hardware though. I picked up a new hammer and a chisel last night for working on the basement. Man toys. Can't wait to get going on that project, chiseling out cracks then filling them in. Screw you water! You're not getting into my basement. :)
It's a blog and game all in one! How is this possible? Because he is the...oh wait...they have good lawyers. Because I'm neat...and stuff.

It's hammer time!
Be careful that you don't hit your thumb though, otherwise you'll need...
Ice, ice, baby.
Thankfully, these early 90s rap and hardware puns are almost done...because you can't touch this.
Also, thank you for reassuring me that I'm not missing anything on facebook. I forget how irritating the faketivism is.
"I forget how irritating the faketivism is."
Yeah. This is what kept me from getting involved in issues back in Undergrad. It really hasn't changed. Too many people who think that they can do a little to make a large difference. They can't. "Raising awareness" accomplishes very little, because generally, it's action that's needed - not awareness. Reminds me of the "camp outside to raise awareness of homelessness." Why don't you do something more useful? Like volunteer at (or, better yet, create) a soup kitchen? Or donate a few pairs of socks to the homeless shelter?
Agreed. Raising awareness is a bit silly. If you want to raise "awareness" about homelessness, put together some information and go door to door showing people how bad it really is then collect donations. Camping out is little more than standing on a street corner shouting; "HOMELESS PEOPLE EXIST!". We know that homelessness exists. It's a fact.
I really get annoyed by cancer awareness as well. Who doesn't know that cancer exists? It's like raising awareness for the common cold. I don't get it. If you want to help, donate hair to Locks of Love or something. When the NFL does cancer awareness games I just think, "Wow, if all those players had donated the money they spent on pink shoes and gloves, they could have helped pay for some medical bills to help actual cancer victims. Instead, hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent to simply shout "CANCER!" during the game. Makes no sense.
Actually, I think that gear is auctioned off, and the money is donated. I could be wrong.
Saw this, thought of this convo:
