The New Facebook

Recently, The Facebook changed its profile format and subsequently seemed to throw the world out of whack. I had literally a dozen group invitations; "Petition to have the option of 'old facebook," "1,000,000 strong against the new facebook," "Tell Mark Zuckerberg to shove it," etc. (well, I made the last one up, but you get the idea). To all of this I say, are you all fucking kidding me!?

Yes, I understand why we might gripe about these changes - Facebook is, after all, the foundation of many of our lives :) and I'm not even exaggerating. I can say, without fail, I log on AT LEAST once a day and have done so for 2 solid years. It's a great way to keep in touch and see what your friends are up to; make fun of the token drunk girl making out with 9 guys or just get a message out there that you know will instantaneously reach the masses (because, come on, who doesn't go on at least 100 times a day!?) So, we've all gotten used to our structured Facebook profiles and which are now a bit "out of whack" and structurally a bit different.

Look around you - is the sun shining? Okay, it's rainy, well are you breathing air in your lungs? Can you pop in your earphones and listen to a song(s) that will immediately put a smile on your face? Do you have love in your life, both romantic and platonic? Can you walk, talk, reason, and laugh? This all sounds ridiculously cheesy, I realize, but the point is - why should Facebook changing formats have SUCH an effect on all of our lives that we're feverishly joining groups, changing our statuses, and probably huffing and puffing about it to everyone or at least those at the water cooler? Come on, people. If that's the WORST problem you have, you are a lucky, lucky person.
