STALK this...

Sorry that it has been a while since my last post. I have been traveling the world and catching up on tv shows. Well, more of the latter, none of the former. I've just been really fucking lazy, so sorry.

I was inspired by today's topic by the students that I work with. This is a common, re-occurring statement I hear a daily basis which I think is absolutely ridiculous to begin with. What? Being a "stalker" on facebook or whatever social networking device.

I hate it when people say that they have been stalking your facebook or stalking your pictures or stalking your blog. You want to know what fucking stalking is?! It is when you follow a girl home from the bar, wait for her to go to bed, climb through her window and cuddle with her. Well, maybe that is a little more then stalking. But fucking flipping through someone's tagged pictures on facebook IS NOT STALKING.

You know why people (mainly girls) use terms like "um so I was totally stalking your facebook"? It is because they want to bring more attention to themselves and give a more unique term to them really bullshitting and procrastinating in life for 3 hours. What's wrong with saying..."yeah so I saw in your pictures...."? Well maybe because you don't want the person you are talking about say... "ew you stalker!".

You know what the truth is with all of that shit?!?! If someone puts their shit out there up on their profile, their blog, their photostream, etc... then they fucking want people to see it. I have all my shit out there for everyone to see. I have all my pictures for everyone to see.. well maybe except 4 people. If you don't want someone to see your shit, then change your settings so certain or all people can't see stuff. Don't call them a stalker for reading your information and finding out you work at Hooters. Stop making yourself feel more important than you are and try to flatter yourself by saying that so and so was totallllyyy stalking you.

The only exception is the TRUE facebook stalk. This is where you want more information about someone and you flip through common friends' pictures and hope to see that person tagged in a photo and maybe you click that album to see if there are more pictures of that person?? I don't know where that came from, someone told me that one before. Or hoping that that person has a public profile. OR if they are in a different network than you, you call your friend in that network to see if they can see that person's profile.... ummm then that is really stalking because if you are not facebook friends with a person, there is a 0% chance you are real friends with them.

I don't care if you read this and I have not seen you or talked to you in 20 years. I put this out there because I want everyone to read it.. well except the previously mentioned 4 people. Just don't make yourself look pretentious by saying people stalk you on facebook. And definitely don't bullshit yourself by saying your curiosity to look at pictures or read someone's shit was stalking.

Until the police post your picture on light posts and the Diamondback writes an article about you mysteriously cuddling with random girls, then you can call yourself a stalker.

Stalk this more often. I promise less time in between posts from now on. Respeck!
