So let's start this bad boy off with some linkage.
So, I know it's really cool and trendy to say how much funnier SNL was in the Tina Fey and Will Ferrel golden days, but this is some top notch comedy right here. I remember the day I got an email from my brother with the subject "WTF!!!!!!" in regards to our mothers new Facebook. One of the funnier Facebook moments I can remember was when my friend Julia got "married" on Facebook, and her Grandfather (who also doubles as her Facebook friend) called her parents frantically to find out why no one informed him she was getting married.
It is kind of ridiculous that old people and our parents are getting Facebooks, especially if you think about it with this new perspective we have all acquired from watching the gem of a film that is The Social Network. If you haven't seen it-SEE IT. When I think about the creation of Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg, a number of things come to mind:
1. I first feel completely inferior, because I know nothing that influential will ever come out of my college dormroom.
2. This whole Facebook thing, which has entirely changed the worlds of social communication, photography, advertising, and a million others that I can't think of, started as a drunk dude trying to impress his bros and fuck mad bitties (although Mark Zuckerberg certainly was no bro).
3. Now that our parents, grandparents, grandfathers ex-wives, overbearing aunts, 5th grade crushes, and "that hot kid" from math class are all coexisting on this internet world, what's going to happen to all these people and their Facebook pages? When I am a working professional and have children, will I still somehow have Facebook pictures of my summers at camp and my nights out in college? Will I still be Facebook friends with nearly my entire high school?
Facebook is such a fucking mystery.
Making this link my Facebook status,

after watching the social network, i'm convinced that all human behavior can be summed up by mark zuckerberg trying to make Erica Albright regret breaking up with him.

Great blog Gaby! I can totally relate to what you are saying...Facebook IS a mystery...you never know who you are going to find out there in cyber space...or who is going to find YOU.
