Review of fb sms::When Replying to a Facebook Text It's Sending It as a ...
My alarm clock on my Blackberry Bold is going off again. I've snoozed as much as I can this morning. Despite a 9 a.m. appointment with a prospective client, I may snooze again. It was a long night and I'm exhausted. In between dreaming that I was Zena Princess Warrior fighting off a group of idiots with construction tools preparing to rebuild Wall Street and Jesse James riding off into the sunset on my remarkably white horse with bags of stimulus money, I can't really pinpoint the exact time I made it into bed . I do remember that it was almost time to wake up when I dozed off ... SMH ... new world code for shaking my head. I no longer follow the conservative routine I once had of being in bed before sunrise the following day, not disclosing personal or rather privy information freely and exposing myself to others' hidden agenda. Nope, today I take chances, put everything at risk including pictures of my kids in the process. Maybe they can score me a deal before some pedophilia rapes my profile. Life as I once knew it has changed dramatically. Today I hide behind an SMS, an MMS or BBM withholding my golden voice from others, and no that's not dominatrix talk for a submissive. That's new wave conversation for us social networkers who have turned connecting into a habit that's gone awry and borderline rogue. I can be anyone I want and all it takes is a profile story, a fan page and clever update status. We're all looking for our first fix in our next hit, the big hook up from that big fish you hope notices you and that's what keeps us coming back for more. We pull late hours, update and drive, and the first roll out of bed is toward the side table to pick up whatever smartphone, iPhone or crack pipe you have to hit the white F with the blue background. Facebook is the new crack. Inhale all you users. Remember when the drug first hit the street in the 1980s. It came with all its akas (also known as). Rock, candy, base or blizz to name a few. It affected the brain - inducing feelings of euphoria, high confidence and loss of appetite. The dopamine was what gave you the feeling of being on top of the world, but minutes later that feeling hit the floor and the user was now in search of that experience all over again. Police officer Wikipedia, definitely not the most reliable source, said "It is the intense desire to recapture the initial high that is what is so addictive for many users of crack." As sad as it is to say I can relate from the akass of Facebook, FB, The Social Network and the feeling of being high in the sky. Don't you love when someone likes your status and actually makes a comment or reposts with a rt? Talk about euphoria and high confidence! And tell me again, why take time to eat when you're on a roll - People like you, or like what you said. Damn ... does that make me an addict? Before you answer, be careful because I'm watching every critic in denial. So many of us just wanted to "try it." Our kids were doing it, co-workers, favorite stores and BFF's but ended up going crazy, willing to do whatever it takes to get that next hit. We put everything on the line, including our health, family and for others their freedom. Remember the Florida mom who blamed Facebook Farmville as the reason why she shook her son and smoked a cigarette afterward. That shaking sadly killed him and she was found guilty of second-degree murder. Wait what about the Colorado woman Shannon Johnson who went to check into Caf© World and check in with friends on FB while she left her son unattended in the bath tub. That check-in was fatal. Johnson's son drowned at 13 months, and she was charged with child abuse. Despite what you think, I'm not complaining or bashing the social networking site that has connected and reconnected millions. I love it and couldn't live without it until I faced the facts and did what every addict does to get clean. Admit that we are powerless and our lives are now a bit unmanageable.
