Facebook Inspiration...

Many people have made the transition of growing up and leaving the past begind you. Of course I'm talking about the transition from MySpace to Facebook. I spend more time on Facebook than I do practically any other site. I will sit there and wait for that red notification to pop up for hours just mindlessly wandering the world of Facebook. Some poeple have gambeling or drugs, I have Facebook. Sue me.

So while killing time yesterday I decided to check out some old friend's pages. I started scanning marital statuses and recent photos and then quote walls. I was suprised to find how many people put up inspirational quotes on Facebook. Most of these quotes include a bible verse, most from Psalms, and a quote from a Noble Peace Prize winner. I've learned how to catigorize my friends into these three groups by their quote wall.

First are my bible verse friends. These are my good friends. These friends spend time at church helping to service the less fortunate in the community. Most of my bible verse friends prefer country or classic rock and drive trucks or SUVs. They commonly are family driven and want, if they don't have already, a litter of children. This is the most common type of Facebook Quote Wall friend.

Next are the Noteable Figure friends. These include quotes from Ghandi or Malcom X or Barack Obama. These are less common than the Bible Quote friends and much touchier. You do not want to offend these pretentious people as they think they individualists who generally drink microbrewed beer and smoke from hookas. You will commonly see these people riding bikes or driving a Prius. These people are generally liberal and hate their parents for bringing them up in such a closeminded household. They are a very edgy type, so approach with caution.

Then there are my good friends. The inappropriate drunk comment quotes on someones wall is a sign of a true friend and drinking buddy. These are very laid back people with a real sense of self. You will see these people driving in their second generation foriegn owned cars(see '89 Honda Civic). These are my people and some of the best quotes of all time come from these people. I thought I'd include a few anonomous I've found on friend's walls.

"Do you know what a guy could do with six fingers?"
"I'll vote when Taco Friday get's passed."
"Let's just say at this point, if I were to go down on you, you'd probably end up pregnant."

The lesson to be learned here is you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but when picking friends check their quote wall and measure them on the scale of lameness based on so. Also when picking friends check the Favorite Music section and make sure Nickleback or Hinder are no where in sight.
