14 things I hate about Facebook

I hate when my Facebook "friends"...

1. Express their undying love for their best significant other in the whole world (when in reality, he or she most likely is not)
2. Tell the world how awesome their life is (not b/c it really is, but b/c they are trying to convince not only the world, but more-so themselves of it)
3. Post pictures of everything they eat (unless it's green eggs and ham we don't care)
4. Tell the world their monotonous everyday goings-on (we do not need to know your bedtime)
5. Search for sympathy comments b/c they are ill or sad (it's obvious and pitiful)
6. Post pictures of themselves taken by themselves with their shirts off (you're not that hot)
7. Have RIP status updates in grieving for someone who recently passed away (this is a personal experience that shouldn't be shared with the world)
8. Acting like they are smarter than they actually are (using a thesaurus doesn't make you any cooler)
9. Entire albums dedicated to babies and dogs (after 4 or 5 pics of a dog or baby laying there doing nothing we get the point... you think its adorable - even though the rest of the world probably does not)
10. Profile pics with other people in frame that are better looking than the actual person (you can't trick random people into thinking you are the other person very long - if anything you should post pics of you standing next to the fattest ugliest friend you have)
11. Profile pics of them with their significant other (thank god for the upcoming "Cover" feature)
12. Profile pics of celebs and athletes (YOUR profile pic is supposed to be a picture of YOU)
13. Profile pics that don't actually look like them (i.e. the best picture they ever had - could be from ten years ago)
14. Random people that act like they are your best friends (thank god for the new "Subscribe" feature)

Spare Parts is The Island

Ever since college I have spent my weekday-daytime-TV-watching hours on one channel, TBS. It airs all my favorite shows from my younger years: Home Improvement, Saved by the Bell, Seinfeld, King of Queens, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Yes, Dear. The other day I saw an episode of the latter that I had never seen before (a rarity). It was an episode of "Yes, Dear" where Jimmy pitches his movie idea to Greg's boss Mr. Savitsky. Greg was reluctant to help his friend, assuming it would be terrible, but he was wrong. It was a fantastic plot with well-developed characters, a little romance, just enough action, and the perfect twist. But Mr. Savitsky passes on his futuristic sci-fi romantic action-adventure called "Spare Parts." Hollywood did not. Two years later, Michael Bay basically made his movie where clones are harvested for organ transplants and the male character falls in love with a clone. He called it "The Island."
